Can You Learn Anything From a Game? -    • Can You Learn Anything From a Game?

In this video essay, I take a closer look at why villains are more interesting and valuable than heroes. They’re the ones who make things happen, who set the stakes and push the boundaries — not just for the hero, as well as us who watch them. Whether it's forcing us to question our own sense of right and wrong or making us wonder how far we’d go in their shoes, villains challenge the world around them in ways that heroes never could.

We’ll explore how these characters don’t just bring chaos — they shape the entire story, making the hero’s journey possible in the first place. And maybe you’ll see why villains are the real stars of the show.
