Who’s a Villain?

The antagonist in everyone’s movie— Or simply the opposition to the imperfect exalted figure we call a "hero".

The exaggeration of a favored person, Framed to match our savior in the story of life. And when they fail—or become human— The fans immediately turn their backs. “On to the next,” they say.

The fair nature of the life we live in: The concept of ups and downs, Offended and offender, Victim and accuser— A flawed concept. One depends entirely on the other for its value.

What is a knight without war? An artist without a canvas? A hero without a villain?

Unlike the other scenarios, The identity of a villain lies in the hands of perspective— The only phenomenon that varies more than love. As formless as water, Yet as unstable as emotion.

So what is life without this? Meaningless, right?

Flawed.

Let’s talk.

What is good without evil? What is right without wrong? Where’s the left without the right?

“It’s all imagination,” they say. Right?

Then why was Thanos the villain? A man with a plan to save humanity from overpopulation— An issue most nations still complain about.

The end justifies the means, right? Yet Tony Stark was the savior.

Perspective, once again.

Could we be the actual villains? Holding people to unimaginably high standards— Standards we can’t even uphold ourselves?

So my question is:

—ARE VILLAINS ALSO VICTIMS?—

"Unseen Departure"

What if F!Leo got back in time after Raph’s been captured?

And what if F!Leo deems it impossible to save Raph and the next option that’s “merciful” is to kill him “better than leaving him a slave to the Krang”?

What if F!Leo lies about saving Raph cause he knows the younger version of his bros won’t stand for it?

What if young Leo wasn’t gonna let that shit slide and ain’t gonna let F!Leo touch Raph?

What if F!Leo is hit by the realization that he actually considered killing the young version of his big bro after seeing young Leo save him?

What if he’s also hit by the realization he could’ve saved so many lives in his own tl that he just killed cause he thought they couldn’t be saved?
