Where the evil villain will go on a rant about how society is cruel and needs to change and that they're going to change it. The hero opposes this for like zero reasons and somehow we're supposed to be on the hero's side.
Are we really supposed to believe that our society doesn't need to change? Are we supposed to cheer for the status quo even when it's shown to be terrible?
I also hate the sympathetic villain trope where it's shown that the villain is the product of abuse and yet their want for revenge is still treated as unjustified.
I'm trying to write a book where there's a similar thread of "villain trying to change unjust society" and his means are bad, but when the hero stops him he agrees that society does need to change and works toward that by helping liberate some people. The real villain is me not actually writing.
oh shit you're not going to pull an Encanto and have only good guys????
Encanto was liberalism. The one family were patriarchs (matriarchs?) which the whole town relied on. They escaped colonialism to do colonialism. Their house is bigger than the rest of the town.
Was it? I got more ecosocialist vibes. They used superpowers to benefit the town for free, and when they lost their powers the magicless towns people enthusiastically volunteered helped rebuild the house for free.
The house was big not because it was a bourgeois luxury mansion, but because each additional family member was given their own room.
There was a character that made plants magically grow and they lived in some solarpunk af secluded mountians.
No you're probably right but I like to make fun of disney.
