Bad guys – don’t ya love ’em? I mean, last year we finally got to see Marvel’s big bad-guy that we have been teased over the decade in all his glory…..and he only went and won, didn’t he! Well, at least until next month when Endgame comes out – but doesn’t a part of you hope that Thanos gets to live on afterwards?
Through the decades, a good hero has always had a villain to oppose, and in some cases the villain becomes more memorable than the hero! So, this week on #MTOS we will be looking at the role the bad-guy plays in films, who plays them best, and what makes some of them so compelling as characters.
Join me on Sunday evening at 8pm UK time over on twitter to join the chat. As usual one question every ten minutes, and all linked by the #MTOS
