Usually when people talk about Firefly and Serenity, they focus on the heroes or protagonists. This is because viewers are pushed to like or identify with those characters so they are more invested in the story. The villains are usually portrayed in the opposite manner. The thing that I love about Joss is that he writes very interesting villains.
I really just wanted to express how much I like the character ,The Operative. I love that he was not just a simple bad guy. Yes, he worked for the bad guys. He was, however, the perfect martyr from the point of view he was taught. He was willing to give up his identity for the cause. He was willing to give up his life for the cause. He was willing to do all of this to build what he was taught and believed would be a perfect world. He was building this world for the rest of the universe, and not for himself. He understood that the things he was doing were evil, but was willing to risk his soul in spite of it. He knew the perfect world he was building would never be for him. Then, he finds out that all he has working toward was a lie. I do just love tragic villains.
Does anyone else agree with any part of this?
Are their any other villains you like a lot, or with which you can identify? Even though this is the Firefly board, the series was kinda short and didn't have a zillion villains, so feel free to pull some from other places.
