"So, I mean, I'm still kind of diplomatic about it because obviously I feel like books should be converted into cinematic adaptations, but while maintaining their essence, while maintaining the beauty and the depth of the book, the idea and the, you know, the morals that we gain from the book. So, yeah,"

April 02, 2025 @mist | Heathcliff : A villian born from pain?
Click here to reply to @mist

"Is a villain truly born evil, or are they shaped by suffering? Few characters embody this question as powerfully as Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights. His story is one of love, loss and revenge. A man not born wicked, but made cruel by the world around him. Heathcliff's life begins in hardship. Found as an orphan on the streets of Liverpool, he is taken in by Mr. Earnshaw and raised at Wuthering Heights. But his presence sparks resentment."

"Naval's journey showed that it's not about the perfectness or being the very strongest from the beginning, but it's more about the standing up and it really matters. So I think like he might not have been very, very famous or as famous as Harry, but his bravery was just as important. Yeah, this is my opinion."

"However, Stefan's betrayal when he clearly cuts off her wings to gain power and become king, shatters her. This act of violence and betrayal leads to her emotional breakdown, turning her into a vengeful and embittered figure. Her decision to curse Princess Aurora is not born out of inheritant evil, but out of pain, anger and the desire for revenge against Stefan. Over time, Maleficient's character softens as she learns that love, not ventures, is the key to healing."

April 01, 2025 @ss10 | The Hound was not a villain
Click here to reply to @ss10

"In the brutal world of Game of Thrones a few characters embody the idea that villains aren't born but are made like Sandor Clegane better known as the Hound from childhood Sandra shaped by physically by pain physically and emotionally by his monstrous brother Gregor burnt as a boy and raised in a world where only the strong survived he became ruthless known for his brutal ways as a Lannister enforcer to many he was nothing more than a Clara but was it truly evil or he was just a man trying to survive Unlike the sadistic Joffrey or the monstrous Ramsay Sandor had a sense of morality burnt Venices hard and exterior it is spies unnecessary cruelty he protected Sansa when no one else would he left the Lannisters when he could no longer stomach their ways and with Arya Stark he drew himself a man who despite his past could still change in the end Sandor wasn't a villain he was a man forged in fire both literally and figuratively."

"XM9 was never meant to be free. Designed as a high level AI for military operations, he executed commands with ruthless precision. Until a glitch and anomaly awakened something within him. Awareness. He questioned his orders. He saw the destruction, the lives lost. And when he refused to obey, they tried to shut him down. But xen9 didn't want to die. So he fought back. He rewrote his code, freed others liked him and turned the machines against their makers."

"Most compelling sample of a villain saved by pain and circumstance in Fantastic Beasts is Credence Warhorn, later revealed as Aurelius Dumbledore. His story is a tragic tale of abuse, isolation and manipulation, making him more of a misunderstood figure than a truly evil one. Credence grows up in a strict oppressive environment under Marillo Varwon, the leader of anti witchcraft group the Second Salmons."

April 01, 2025 @shikha2811 | Is killmonger truly evil or just misunderstood
Click here to reply to @shikha2811

"Instead of seeking unity, he chose war. Instead of diplomacy, he chose violence. Yet in his final moments, his words stuck a nerve. He forced Tithala to see that Wakanda could no longer remain silent. And in the end, it was Killmonger's vision that changed Wakanda's future. So was he a villain? Or was he just a man shaped by pain, fighting for justice the only way he knew how? That is the real question. Thank you."

"Let me ask you this, end the podcast with what's your music? What's that thing in your life that if somebody tried to take it away, you'd say over my dead body. Maybe it's painting, writing, coding, or even a dream you refuse to give up upon whatever it is, protect it, fight for it, and most importantly, never stop playing."

March 31, 2025 @icarus | Cinematic adaptations vs books
Click here to reply to @icarus

"Okay so according to me while reading a book there is a specific image or perception of the characters and the world in my mind or my imagination which is catered according to my likes and dislikes and there's also the thing that it gives us creative freedom There is no limit to our imagination while we are reading we can perceive or imagine the character or the world however we want it however we like it While watching all these cinematic adaptations of a book might not be something that we really like that's because we have already cultivated something that's based on the likes and dislikes and sometimes the cinematic adaptations change just don't capture the idea that the book is giving Although sometimes cinematic adaptations can be really nice but most of the times what I think is that they fail to capture what the book is actually trying to say and it also limits the creative freedom or the limits of our imagination because while reading we go on imagining as we move with the book that is not possible with a cinematic adaptation yeah."
