There were many reasons why there were few movies where villains won.
Movies where the villain triumphed were usually harder to resonate with the audience because they often depicted a powerful villain who eventually won. The ending of the story often did not meet people's expectations. The audience's expectations for the movie's ending were often positive results such as reunion, justice defeating evil, and so on.
Movies where the villains won often involved sensitive topics such as politics, race, religion, etc. These topics were easy to cause controversy and disagreement, so it was difficult to gain widespread audience support.
Some film companies and directors may prefer to choose the victorious ending because such a story is more fascinating and dramatic, which can increase the box office revenue of the movie.
However, there were also movies where the villain won, such as Black Hawk Down and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Although the villain won in the end, these movies were still widely praised by the audience because they portrayed a repulsive villain image and showed the bravery and perseverance of the protagonist.
There were many anime works where the female lead was the villain, such as Naruto's Thousand-Hand Pillar, Death Note's L, One Piece's Nami, and so on. These female protagonists were often the protagonists of the righteous side in the story, but in the end, they became the villains, showing their unusual personalities and motives.
There were many animes with villains as the main characters, such as Naruto, Death Note, Rebellious Lelouch, Evil Crown, and so on. The protagonists of these anime characters were sometimes good and sometimes bad, but in the storyline, they often turned into villains.
There are many anime characters with villains as the main characters. Here are some of them:
1 Kirito in Sword Art Online is the villain. He became the strongest warrior in the game, but at the end of the game, he chose to betray the player community and become a member of the evil forces.
Alan in Attack on Titan was seen as a villain in many cases. He initially joined the Giant Hunters to protect his family, but the plot gradually became cruel and violent.
3. Steins (Gate) in The Stone of Destiny was portrayed as a villain. He was a genius physicist who created a time machine to investigate a mysterious experiment, but it led to a series of strange events.
4. Rurouni in The Rebellion was a complex character who was seen as a villain in many situations. She tried to rule the world through war but ultimately chose to fight alongside her friends and companions.
This is only a small part of the anime with the male lead as the villain. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me.
There were many male protagonists in anime that were villains, such as Naruto, Death Note, Rebellious Lelouch, Gintama, and so on. The male protagonists in these animes usually challenged the balance of the entire world or had evil motives. However, these villains in anime were not necessarily evil. They also had their own unique charm and stories.
He could recommend the two novels,"Fantasy: The Villain Comes Through the Book and Erases the Protagonist at the Beginning" and "I Help the Villain to Misfortune After Failing to Transcend the Tribulation". In these two novels, the villains were the main characters. Through various means and opportunities, they finally defeated the main characters and their forces. Among them, the protagonist of "Fantasy: The Villain Transforms the Book and Erases the Protagonist at the Beginning" was even suppressed step by step by the villain to the point of being a stepping stone. It was very heroic. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗
There were many situations in anime where the villain had the last laugh. Here are some examples:
Although Orochimaru was the main character's opponent in Naruto, he was always a controversial villain in the entire plot. Although he finally got his true goal, he was still very happy and satisfied after achieving his goal.
2. Kotaro Gui in Silver Soul. Although he played the villain role in the whole plot, he was not an evil person. He often showed his wisdom and wit in a humorous way, and finally won the decisive battle with the protagonist.
Although Fliesa in Dragon Ball was a powerful villain, he was not evil. Instead, he was a person who longed to be the ruler of the universe. Although he was defeated in the final battle, he was still very optimistic and confident that he would succeed in the end.
The above are just some examples. In fact, there are many situations in which the villain has the last laugh in the anime. It depends on the character, background, plot setting, and other factors.
I recommend the book "The Demon King Behind the Heavens" to you. The male protagonist transmigrated to anime, games, and movies to become the king of villains. In order to live a good life, he had to find his lost villains. If you like stories about fake worlds and chaotic battles, you might as well read this novel.
