Of course the world is full heroes and villains in our personal lives, in movies, as well as in history, and stories. However, cartoons carry the best examples of heroes and villains.
They call him Brain, yet he's really just another version of Ares, the God of War. Actually, they may have called it Ares. What makes one a villain? The obsession with having all conform to him and the ego, to have the attention, to rule, to destroy, to live through the misery of others.
This troublesome "villain" appears in the earliest human literature, and seems to be a reincarnation of the same thing, with different names, whether it was Herod in the Bible, or Hitler or Stalin, they behave all the same way. In every age there are heroes and villains.
What makes these villains in all these cartoons stand out? They almost all display a similar behavior in having control, the ability to have control over things, lives, thoughts, society, yet the laws of chaos theory prove them always wrong.
They all suffer from the same syndrome, the need to control, conquer the world, or just their world. In any event, history has proven that it cannot be done. The heroes are the exact antithesis to the villains, for they do not kill, steal or lie, and are not ambitious or vengeful. So if all ages have their villains and heroes, who are todays villains and heroes?
As that saying goes, "the road to hell is paved in good intentions" and all villains are ultimately doing their "greater good" since they believe themselves to be "god like". Thats the unjust war, the unconstitutional tactics, murder and theft that pervades the world right now.
