Good and Evil. It's an ageless struggle. One that finds its way into just about every major film and story that we watch, read, and listen to. And depending on what you deem as good and what you deem as evil, your worldview can influence how you interpret said stories (see my last episode for more on that).
In this episode, I take a look at how various protagonists (aka the hero / heroine) is portrayed in story. And how their antagonists (aka the villains) are presented too. Some tend to be obvious. Others toe the line between what is admirable and what is not. While others are given to us with the inference that they are evil - just so we can root for our "good guys."
