Everyone loves antagonists, but not all for the same reason. Some of the best villains are the most sympathetic ones. Yet, other fan favorites are completely diabolical. Some are charismatic, while others are calculated killers. In this video, I try to find the one commonality between all of the best written antagonists. From there, I categorize every villain ever into 3 buckets. Hopefully this framework I introduce can help you better understand your favorite villains, and what makes an antagonist well written.
