Hollywood Announces Bold New Film Where An Evil Villain Is Just Evil And Not Misunderstood

HOLLYWOOD, CA — In what is expected to be the season's hottest new movie, filmmakers have unleashed an innovative take on storytelling in which the villain was not portrayed as being misunderstood but instead was just evil.

While audiences had gotten bored over the years with the same tired old method of depicting bad guys who were really not bad guys but were actually just good guys who weren't being understood, the new film's creators chose to go in a wildly different direction and include antagonists who were just really, truly evil.

"We wanted to really flip the script," said the director of the new film EVIL VILLAIN MAN (who is evil). "We didn't want to stick to the common Hollywood formula of having the villain turn out to be misunderstood and unappreciated by society, and instead clearly delineate between good and evil in our story. It's a total departure from what you normally see in movies these days."

Fans were overjoyed with the fresh take. "I don't remember seeing anything like this," one viewer said. "I've seen the old trope of the misunderstood villain so many times I can predict how the story is going to go every time. It's really refreshing to see a bad guy in a movie who is just really, really awful and gets his comeuppance. Who would have known that a straightforward morality tale would be so enjoyable and exciting to watch?"

At publishing time, the filmmakers were reportedly considering taking another bold step with their next project by depicting a female hero who isn't good at everything and is unable to defeat men in hand-to-hand combat.
