I watched "Meet the Robinsons" over the weekend. The villain of the movie is a parody of sterotypical villains, but actually gets to spell out two characteristics inherent in villain behavior that sometimes people actually exhibit without believing they are being villains, although they are unwittingly villains to the people around them.
Quoting:
Lewis: Look, I'm sorry your life turned out so bad. But don't blame me you messed it up yourself. You just focused on the bad stuff when all you had to do was... let go of the past and keep moving forward...
Bowler Hat Guy: Hmm, let's see... take responsiblity for my own life or blame you? Dingdingdingdingding! Blame you wins hands down!
And quoting again:
Bowler Hat Guy: Uh... game didn't go so well, huh?
Michael "Goob" Yagoobian: No. I fell asleep in the ninth inning. And I missed the winning catch. Then I got beat up. Afterward, Coach took me aside. He told me to let it go. I don't know, he's probably right.
Bowler Hat Guy: No! Everyone will tell you to let it go and move on, but don't! Instead, let it fester and boil inside of you! Take these feelings and lock them away. Let them fuel your actions. Let hate be your ally, and you will be capable of wonderful, horrid things. Heed my words, Goob: don't let it go.
