Okay I think people need to stop using the word villian - antagonist is more appropriate.
Why do people always complain that the movie has no villain?
isn't Cob's team like the villian? I mean, aren't they con-artists/thieves?

Mal doesn't have to fit with every dictionary definition of "villain" to be classified as such.RIFA wrote:1. A wicked or evil person; a scoundrel.
2. A dramatic or fictional character who is typically at odds with the hero.
3. also (vln, v-ln) Variant of villein.
4. Something said to be the cause of particular trouble or an evil: poverty, the villain in the increase of crime.
5. Obsolete A peasant regarded as vile and brutish.Mal wasn't evil.1. a wicked or malevolent person
2. (in a novel, play, film, etc.) the main evil character and antagonist to the hero
3. Often jocular a mischievous person; rogue
4. Brit police slang a criminal
5. (Historical Terms) History a variant spelling of villein
6. Obsolete an uncouth person; boor
Mal wasn't malevolent person.
Mal was at odds with Cobb but not because she wanted to do evil. So this fails also.
the rest of definitions don't apply.
Agree with Vader in a way but at the same time I stay strongly by the fact that this film has no actual villain.

Anakin Skywalker had no evil intentions when he turned to the dark side to save his wife. Under his point of view, the Jedi were evil. Is he a good guy?RIFA wrote:How can Mal be a villain if she has no evil intentions?christophmac wrote:But Mal's projection, which is Cobb's inner demons, is the villain.
Yes. As Darth Vader he was more machine than man.

Lame excuse? What an articulate response.. Anakin lost his mind and redeemed himself in the end. Big fkn deal. Not a villain at heart.

Yeah, he redeemed himself. Like, 5 minutes before he died. For nineteen years he was a villain... who started out with good intentions. This is undeniable.tykjen wrote:Lame excuse?

is it better to live as monster or to die as a good man?
