We opened the episode with a continuation of our Villains Month coverage, diving into the more nuanced territory of morally gray characters. In this third week, we shifted from examining outright villains to exploring the blurred lines between villains and antiheroes.While often confusing, this distinction can help deepen our understanding of literary characters and narrative structure. We discussed how selfish motives and chaotic actions typically define villains, whereas antiheroes may lack traditional heroic qualities but are still driven by noble or relatable goals.What Is On Our NightstandsBefore diving into the main theme, we shared what's currently on our nightstands. Arthur has just finished Transmentation | Transcience by Darkly Lem, a multi-universe sci-fi thriller recently released by Blackstone Publishing. He's moving on to Rhino: The Rise of a Warrior by Nicholas Sainsbury Smith, which is being described as a Conan-meets-Mad-Max-style story set in the Hell Divers universe. A book review will be published soon.Meaghan, on the other hand, is juggling a few books. She's reading an advanced copy of When She Was Gone by Sarah Foster, a psychological thriller that explores family estrangement and disappearance through multiple POVs.She's also in the early chapters of Grady Hendrix's Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, which touches on the dark history of homes for “troubled” girls, wrapped in Hendrix's signature dark humor. Additionally, she's reading Scythe and Sparrow by Brynn Weaver on her subway commutes - the final installment in the Ruinous Love trilogy, known for its dark romance and black comedy. The first book, Butcher and Blackbird, is even getting a film adaptation.Defining Villains vs. AntiheroesOur main discussion centered around defining the differences between villains and antiheroes. We agreed that villains are typically characterized by outright selfishness, chaos, and harm with little to no regard for others. They oppose the protagonist and often revel in destruction or dominance.Antiheroes, in contrast, may lack traditional heroic qualities - like moral clarity, compassion, or honor - but are usually driven by a personal code or a higher, sometimes noble, purpose. Their actions might be questionable, but their motives often aim toward the greater good. For example, they may take morally ambiguous paths to achieve just ends.We used Patrick Bateman from American Psycho and Joe Goldberg from You to illustrate this line. While both offer internal justifications for their actions, we agree that their intentions and outcomes mark them more as villains than antiheroes. They may rationalize what they do, but ultimately their actions are self-serving and destructive.Another great example we discussed was Zayden from Fourth Wing. Though initially perceived as a villain by the protagonist, Violet, his motivations are revealed to be much more layered, shifting his status into antihero territory. Similar shifts occur in characters like Rhysand from ACOTAR, who is misunderstood early on but ultimately acts with benevolent intentions.The Complexity of Character Roles in Narrative StructureWe examined how literary structure, especially multiple POV storytelling, can alter our perceptions of characters. With multiple viewpoints, we often gain deeper insight into the inner motivations of a character who might otherwise appear villainous from another perspective.Meaghan made the point that antiheroes don't need to be the main character. In stories with multiple perspectives, an antihero can be a supporting or secondary character whose actions significantly impact the narrative, even if they're not the protagonist.We discussed characters like Captain Ahab from Moby Dick, Jay Gatsby, and Shakespearean figures like Macbeth and Hamlet. These figures blur the lines between heroism and villainy by embodying both admirable and damning traits. Captain Ahab is fueled by vengeance but is also driven by deeper human emotions, while Gatsby's immoral actions are motivated by love and longing.We touched on how world-building can influence a character's perceived morality. In tightly defined universes, a single action might shift a character from hero to villain or vice versa. The broader and more complex the setting, the easier it becomes to justify or criticize those actions.Modern Obsession with Antiheroes and Reader RelatabilityA recurring theme in our talk was the rising popularity of antiheroes, especially in BookTok communities and modern literature. Meaghan emphasized how modern readers are drawn to nuanced characters who reflect the gray morality of real life. Straightforward good-versus-evil narratives feel outdated to many readers who want complexity and inner conflict in their characters.Romance novels, particularly dark romance, often play with this dynamic. Characters like Zade Meadows from Haunting Adeline or those in Lights Out by Navetta Allen operate with morally questionable methods but are driven by well-intentioned motives, making them compelling and controversial at the same time.We also reflected on Joe Goldberg's character arc and how the show's clever use of internal narration makes viewers uncomfortably sympathetic toward someone who is clearly a villain. This blurring creates tension and complicates our engagement with the story, prompting us to question our moral compass.Characters like Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones were also mentioned. While initially self-serving, he evolves over the series into someone with more noble intentions, even if he doesn't fit the typical heroic mold. He shifts from a villain to a morally gray character and eventually a reluctant hero in some people's eyes.Genre Examples and Pop Culture InfluenceWe highlighted how genres like comic books and dark fantasy frequently feature antiheroes. Characters like Deadpool, Daredevil, The Punisher, and Batman exemplify this model. These characters challenge traditional morality, often operating outside the law but still striving to uphold a personal sense of justice. Meaghan noted that even characters like Geralt from The Witcher are often misclassified as antiheroes when they may just be grumpy or reluctant heroes.Arthur brought up the Murderbot Diaries as another upcoming example - an android that hacks its programming to gain autonomy while also occasionally killing humans. It's complex, emotionally resonant, and set to become an Apple TV series.We also briefly touched on Silo's Juliet, who represents a reluctant hero more than an antihero. Her role highlights how characters are shaped by the world around them and are often pulled into heroism unwillingly.We examined situations where antiheroes may shift into villain territory, such as Tamlin from ACOTAR, whose descent into darker behavior between books one and two sparked significant conversation among readers. While some hope for redemption, others see the character's trajectory as complete.Finally, we discussed how some stories allow villains or antiheroes to win. Meaghan noted that this feels more realistic because, in life, good doesn't always triumph. These narratives, while less conventional, often leave a more lasting impact on readers.Final Thoughts and What's NextWe wrapped up by affirming our shared preference for morally complex characters over one-dimensional heroes or villains. Antiheroes, with their flaws, motivations, and layered choices, make for more engaging narratives. Readers want characters that mirror real-life complexity, and antiheroes offer that depth in spades.In the closing segment, we teased our next episode, where we'll focus on different portrayals of a famously adapted villain character across books, films, and shows. We plan to compare portrayals, potentially do a ranking, and analyze how this character has changed across time and mediums.In the meantime, we encouraged listeners to check out our latest reviews and ARCs on our website, FullyBooked.ca, and subscribe to the Bookish newsletter to stay up to date with all our content.

And we have reached the end of October, the spookiest of months, and this the end of villains month. And to wrap it up, we're getting one of the spookiest of Batman villains: Man-Bat. Dr. Kirk Langstrom has an origin really out of the pages of Spider-Man, but someone has wound up a fixture in the Batman titles. Also, he has had more mini-series than any other Bat rogue. Go figure. We read his first appearance, a bizarre prestige format mini that feels straight out of 90s Vertigo and another mini that, while featuring some beautiful Man-Bat art, doesn't feature a ton of Man-Bat, alas.

Killer Croc is a character who has evolved a great deal over his time, and that pun is only half unintended. He has been a mobster, a monster and an anti-hero. This week, for Villains Month, we look at three different interpretations of Croc. In one, he's a barely human monster running from humanity. In another, he's a supervillain on a killing spree. And in the third, he is the mayor of Monstertown in the sewers of Gotham during Joker War.

There are five Thursdays and we'll be focusing on five villains, all but one we haven't had a spotlight on before. The first villain is a favorite of Matt's, one who has appeared in some of the higher ranked stories on the big board: Mr. Zsasz. The (as Will calls him in the episode) "knife pervert" of the rogue's gallery, we read the story of his origin, a story of him and Batman both being hunted by the GCPD, and a lost tale that was found and printed in an odd manor.
