Feb. 16th, 2022 05:17 pmBack when my kids were younger, I would do a “question of the day” with them and their friends to spark conversation. I was thinking about starting it up with my new group of littles-turned-middle schoolers. The first question that came up was “If you had to spend the day with any villain from a book or movie (or comic 'verse!), who would it be and why?"
Which got me thinking about the way we describe villians and/or who is the villains. Like in The Walking Dead, if we had followed Negan from the beginning, Rick (and his crew) would be the villain. But in the Hunger Games 'verse, even after reading Songbirds and Snakes, Snow is a villain and an all-around awful person.
Kid shows are a little easier and easily defined - Doofenshmirtz, Mayor Humdinger, Mr Crocker, the bad guys that Henry and Ray go up against in Henry Danger. Kid movies - I guess the dog catcher in the Air Bud/Buddies movies? Mrs Hannigan from Annie?
Anyway, what are your thoughts? What villain would you spend a day with?
