excellent antagonists...a challenge for heroes - Page 8

Stories like if you keep playing this song 'Jhalak dikhla jaa' repeatedly then ghosts may appear and show you their jhalak 🤣 another one was people in weddings/parties used to resist playing this song again for the same reason, so many folks used to experience ghostly presence after playing this song during late nights and blah blah. There were many, and frankly speaking it spooked me. 😆

Akshay Khanna in Humraaz was excellent as well.

Force

Has anyone mentioned Vidyut in Force? Holy smokes he was such a sexy villain. His fight scenes completely overpowered and demolished John Abraham. At one point I realised that my morals had left my body when I started rooting for the villain. He was just so darn good at being bad, should’ve kept him alive for Force 2. 😆

Padmavat

Obviously Ranveer in Padmavat ate Shahid’s tiny nipples alive. Shahid was the biggest miscast.

Dhoom 1, Dhoom 2, Dhoom 3 and every future Dhoom that has Abhishek as the good cop.

You’ll be lying to yourself if you actually rooted for Abhishek Bachan in any of the films. In fact, you’ll be lying if you rooted for Abhishek in ANY film.

SRK in every film

I’m biased so please behold my moral compass leave my body when the villain is SRK. The only exception was John in Pathaan. He stole the show for me.

Honestly I never saw any villain in Dhoom series as a villain.

The way they were presented be it John, HR or Aamir with an emotional backstory, they hardly seemed like villains.

They were either too hot like John or HR or had emotional backstory and looked like avenging dad's death like Aamir in D3.

The bar is too low if SRK's Darr is taken as some standard. That was hamfest.

Mogambo

Saw your post only now, Jack.

No, in my mind, SRK isn't the bar (for anything, btw) but Darr (discussed in BI's thread) got (also) famous for the controversy that the antagonist overshadowed the hero...that's why I thought to ask in this thread for other examples 😊

I'm glad about so many examples here (some I already know/have watched, some are new to me and I guess a treat to watch).

Tabu in Andhadhun was very good but she didn't overshadow Ayushman (who wasn't exactly a 'hero', neither), but also to me, she was a better antagonist in BB2 than the two leads.

Absolutely yes about Force and the antgonist to John's Yash.

I knew about Lalita playing vamp-type women, but I can't remember having watched her as a real villain (Anari was - until now - the only one although -as Natkhat wrote - she wasn't a villain inside)...I then only remember Raj Kapoor's Shree and Mukherjee's Anand where she played positive characters.

So which one of the evil MIL-roles (where she overshadowed the good ones) would you recommend here?

The one name that immediately comes to my mind is - Sau Din Saas ke. She was pure evil in that 😆

But wasn't Reena Roy a match to her? (her performance was lauded, wasn't it?)

Yes totally. They both were outstanding in it.

Wow! U seem to know a lot about old Bollywood movies too 😲

I've watched some but read about many more...about directors, actors, actresses, writers...movies, books and theatre plays belong to my passions - since my early youth 😊

Exzellente Antagonisten sind ein entscheidendes Element beim Geschichtenerzählen und stellen für Helden oft eine gewaltige Herausforderung dar. Sie spielen eine wichtige Rolle dabei, die Erzählung voranzutreiben und Spannungen und Konflikte zu erzeugen. Deshalb können sie für Helden eine fesselnde Herausforderung sein:

Stärke und Geschicklichkeit: Ein gut ausgebildeter Antagonist verfügt über beträchtliche Stärke, Geschicklichkeit oder Fähigkeiten, die denen des Helden entsprechen oder diese übertreffen. Dies erzeugt ein Gefühl des Ungleichgewichts und zwingt den Helden, an seine Grenzen zu gehen und sein eigenes Wachstum und seine Entschlossenheit zu demonstrieren.

Komplexität und Tiefe: Große Antagonisten sind keine eindimensionalen Bösewichte. Sie haben Tiefe, Motivationen und Hintergrundgeschichten, die sie fesselnder machen.https://nachrichtenmorgen.de/
