What good are choices if they're all bad?

Welcome to Week 4. Unfortunately, we did have two writers who had to drop out after Week 3, so, for the rest of you, I've become used to the idea that you're all the heroes, fighting the good fight against a sadistic villain. Not this week. This week, your job is to play the proverbial bad guy and, in your scripts, have your protagonist be the villain. It's just that simple. Good luck. =)

Theme: "Your Hero Is the Villain."


Genre List:

Action/Adventure
Comedy
Crime
Horror
Western
Mystery
Sci-Fi
Thriller
Fantasy
Historical

And how to be positive, negative or indifferent about this theme? Looks like additional variable and not a theme.

Joe (Spqr) did. He has his reasons, which are private. Unless he feels like sharing them, I would leave it at that.

That's true, this is much closer to a variable than a theme. However, it's something that I've just been wanting to see. I didn't say positive, negative, indifferent this time. So, all in all, grading for this round should be easier and more streamlined.

So, how bad is bad enough? Does he have to kill, think of killing, or maybe some unethical behavior will do?

Villain. I have no other way to say it, other than that's it's the opposite of the hero.

Well, it was only a vague idea not written, thank God.

So, just to clarify your villain could appear to be the good guy (hero) initially, right?

Interesting.  I could do a traditional villain who is simply a villain,  or a more modern villain who thinks they are the hero and has reasons for their actions.

I also hear Trump is joining in this week using the elements person, woman, man, camera,  T.V. I can't wait to see what he comes up with!

The villain is the hero of his/her own story. But I think it'd need to be clear we're talking about something more serious than a difference of opinion on what is right.


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

Frank: Yep, I'm thinking not like some silly lovers quarrel villain. High octane villain, (not comical, though, I hope) or at least very nasty.

Ant: I'm with you there.
