One big problem with the supervillains in comic books and Star Wars and similar is... it isn't clear what motivates them. I have not seen the new Star War, but I don't really know what motivated any of the bad guys in any of the other movies. Yes, sure, money power blahblahblah but there's too often just an "evil for the sake of being evil" aspect. What is all that evil really for? Maybe I should get an exclusive interview with the Koch Brothers to delve into this question.
