Why Are Villans Villans?

Alvy:

I don’t understand, why can’t villans be heroes? Again, referring to the Tomb Raider Legend game in which is so cool, and I can’t stop playing it. There is this girl, Amanda Evert, who was Lara Croft’s (The main character’s) friend. They went in this archeologist thingy, and this demon guarded the tomb they were researching, the beast brought them both to this chamber and Amanda took this stone off the wall to save her life, or at least try, it worked, but she was trapped in the room, a bunch of rocks fell on her and she “drowned” when water flooded the place. A few years later, Lara discovered that she was alive, and she didn’t understand, how come she never told her? Turns out she felt deep hatered towards Lara, for not digging her out, and then she became Lara’s enemy.

Amanda got this cool haircut, a few tatoos, and dyed her hair platinum blonde, and from flower-filled shirts and simple shorts, she was now using leather tops and pants, she is so much cooler when she’s Lara Croft’s enemy… it will be terrible when I reach the part of the game in which I have to kill her, I mean she’s so cool and all, and if all the girls looked the same, they would look like Lara Croft (In Tomb Raider Legend, since the first version of the series made Lara a little too “evolved”) well, the villans have so many better reasons to be villans than heroes have to be heroes, although it actually depends, I agree that I can’t generalize everything… I love both, every villan and every hero have their ups and downs… or downs… or ups…
