In movies, TV-series etc. the villains often looks ugly, dark and have a weird voice. Even good looking villains have that villain/evil voice. It would honestly be more realistic and interesting if the villain spoke normally and like kind people (so they could manipulate better), and that good guys don't always have to sound so good. #Villain#VillainVoice#VillainUgly Often villains are portrayed ugly like this guy. Other examples are the Joker.Villain voices:
Why Are Villains Often Portrayed As Ugly, Dark And With A Weird Voice?
I think in most movies and TV series aimed at Adults, they do typically make the "bad guy" act in a less stereotypical way. For shows aimed at children or less matured groups though, without throwing in those stereotypes the children might not even catch that "oh, this is supposed to be the bad guy!", which helps them realize what actions in said show are supposed to be good and what actions are supposed to be evil. (Because they can't tell all the time) As for making things dark, it makes sense because most bad things in general happen in literally dark places, and wearing darker clothing or looking darker helps you blend in. Very deep or very high voices can both (potentially) act as a method of intimidation, which a bad person 'might' utilize if they are the confrontational type. As for ugly, I guess it us just that concept where if you do bad things, this is how you will be. They are trying to paint being the bad guy as, being bad in all aspects and not personality.
This concept is very old dating back probably further than Ancient Greece. At least in Ancient Greece, there is a correlation with equating beauty and goodness. There is also the halo effect in regular life, a documented psychological phenomenon wherein people's judgment on another person's traits spills over to other unrelated traits, ei she's hot she must be of good character. According to an actual scientific subject on the topic, beautiful criminals usually get more lenient sentences then their ugly counterparts, regardless of the severity of their crime, but when the crime in question is fraud, the tables are turned: attractive frauds almost consistently get the longest convictions.

Lack of imagination. I would take a villain more seriously if they didn’t seem threatening. Cuz then when shit hits the fan, it’s a complete surprise and it’s hella scary. But no. Everyone loves to use the old fashioned skeleton of villain building. Dark, moody, and visually unappealing.
Well from a hedonistic standpoint, that which feels good is good. Looking at something beautiful brings us pleasure, so we associate that with something positive. However, there's also the association of what we do reflects how we look, i. e. pretty is as pretty does. Both are problematic in their own way. A) poison can feel good, but it has deleterious effects on our health. B) You can have good looks but behave in a rotten way.
I'd say most directors want the villain to be very transparent. They don't want the audience to question who is wrong and who is right and they don't want people loving the villains (which is odd because some of them, such as Loki from Avengers, are pretty darn handsome/beautiful). Plus, it's harder to accomplish in terms of script writing and might not fit in the time frame that they want the movie to last. Black and white is easier to paint in, but gray offers a better picture.
I don't normally see them as ugly or with wired voices but I guess that all comes down to preference. But I imagine it's you help you connect more with the hero/protagonist.
That's because those qualities normally make a character unlikeable or suspicious to the viewer and more often than not that's what villains are supposed to be. Not judging, just saying.
We have been conditioned by films and movies that bad guys are large, unattractive and weird or menacing. It's the old concept of good guys wear white hats and bad guys wear black
Maybe because it's easier to dehumanize the characters. The less they look great and the more they are appart from the "normal society", the better the chances for them to be unliked because of their ugliness and their lack of human similarities.
You sure about that? I can name a few villains who are good looking:
Tom Riddle Harley Quinn Handsome jack Negan Jaime Lannister Prince Charming Haytham kenway Draco Malloy President Snow Matthew Patel Lucas lee Todd Ingram Roxanne richter Kyle Katayanagi Ken Katayanagi Gideon Graves Tohru Adachi Jim Moriarty Gina zanetakos The main character in the borderlands games Faith seed
Bc they want to teach kids dumb shit... and they grow up being... or he must be very smart to break through those stereotypes... but he will fee different... lonely... and will prefer to pretend those stereotypes ro fit in
Not always. In Black Panther the villain isn't portrayed as any of these. and in 13 Reasons Why Season 2, the villians aren't portrayed with these attributes just with pain in their history
Dude, if there is carebear capable enough to become a villain, how could you not be impressed? Imagine a carebear that grew to the size of Godzilla and shoots a laser out of its eyes roasting people. The love it gives people is transformed into the same kind of love it gives marshmallows. The love you feel for something delicious when it is thrown in your mouth.
@Guanfei- It looks to me like @Dause hit it perfect- or was it you? The giant care bear is an awesome idea- to make it the essence of pure evil would have the millennials pissing all over themselves...>>lol
