During a movie, do you root more for the villain or the good guy?

Depends on the scenario really..though lately I generally root for anyone but the cops..

Lol it’s always hard to watch hot people die.

@EmeraldJewel indeed boo

Depends. I like anti-heroes. But rapey, icky villians do not get my vote...

3

I root for the most relatable person

2

The female lead in Science Fiction, no matter good or bad. Most anything else, whoever has the best lines.

2

I mostly root for the villain.

Hahaha!!!

If the story has a non-linear bad guy, yeah. Black Panther did this well.

Neither, I just watch the movie. Lol.

Scar did nothing wrong!

Depends on the movie.
During "King Kong", I always rooted for Kong.
Same with the Godzilla movies.

Usually the good guy - in today's sci fi movies it can be hard to establish who is who.

For me, it depends. My empathy comes into play

I love your hair!

When I'm watching a show such as Ray Donovan, there aren't any "good guys." Just evil and lesser evil.

The one that is the most human...and who I can relate to more...depends...on the individual character

1

It depends.

I loved the character The Comedian in Watchmen. He’s a bit of both. Which makes him the most interesting character.

I just watch the movierooting for fictious charactersseems pointless since the outcome is predetermined. I like to watch and figure out the ending well before the movie ends.

Depends on the film

1

Depends who's philosophy I relate more to. Or if the villain is hot I usually cring when they're beaten/killed. :/

1

Depends on the Character, and sometimes the story line.
"Law abiding citizen" for example, who are really the bad guys?

1

Depends if the plot is making my brain vomit or if it is a well made movie.

If the villain is an equal-opportunity hater (just a d-bag to everyone as opposed to one group) and has a complex story/character, you can bet I'll be rooting for the villain or at least feel for them more. So sick of these simple/one-dimensional, boring, ultra-vanilla, goody-two-shoes heroes. I wanna see some grit and some nuance!

the very good guy who is usually weird.

Generally speaking, the villian because their motivations are usually clear while we're told 'here's the hero...cheer'.

Typically the good, but every so often the bad lols
