you know what's a really good trope? "the power of friendship" but they're all VILLAINS. just a bunch of sexy, unhinged, & morally bankrupt characters who would do anything for each other. absolutely unparalleled

Huh, I just realized why I like the Fast and Furious franchise so much
Kinda like It's Always Sunny, but better
Season 3 of Legend of Korra does this pretty well, though the villains are also united by an ideology that drives them to act.
I feel like the animated movie 'Bad Guys' kind of encomappses this. They're a 'ride or die' crew that is bad, at least at the beginning. It's a good movie I recommend a watch.
"What? I wanted a longer car chase, its the best part."
Seriously that link is the first 6 minutes of the movie and if that doesnt absolutely hook you into watching it, its not for you.
Also my 5yo daughter makes me put on that song and do the sunglasses thing, shit is so adorable.
Honestly the car sold me like 50 percent on that movie, haha. It's such a short bit of the movie but it's just fun and the car is obviously badass.
This is Worm.
It breaks my heart that Worm never got more attention. It's probably the best superhero (or villain depending on your perspective) story I've ever read
The villains code as well. Worms better though
Any Dnd Party?
Exactly my thought. If you don't have a session once a month where you look around and ask "are we the baddies?" then what the heck are we doing here.
You have sessions more than once a month?
Lol, we try for every other week, about 2.5-3 hour sessions.
Seinfeld.
You're describing Seinfeld.
Stupid, sexy Jerry.
Isn’t that just DOOM patrol?
Doom Patrol isn't made up of villians. They are people whose superpowers caused them to be traumatized in one way or another.
I agree, but they are very shitty “heroes” to the point of causing plenty of villain like fallout 😅 the rest really fits the bill though.
Wait, so what is going on over in the USA, but sexy??
I guess that would be significantly more palatable ... still murder tho.
But if I could choose my dictator I would like a big mommy dommy goth, pls!
(I would be a boot-locker & it would be illegal to kink-shame me!)
Reminds me of an all evil campaign I played in once.
I recall "heroically" leading the towns militia into a wererat den on the night of the full moon, only to lock them all in together and finish off the stragglers on both sides afterwards. Turns out militiamen's scalps look awfully similar to those of reverted wererats, and we turned quite a profit.
Villains or antiheroes? Because this sounds like anti-heroes but villains are rather the people letting starving people die for profits.
This reminds me of the Phantom Troupe.
I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but for a good read from a Villain perspective try A Practical Guide to Evil
I'm currently reading a series called Everybody Loves Large Chests. The protagonist is a dungeon mimic who gains sentience and levels up. It collects a bunch of sexy villain characters along the way. Surprisingly compelling.
It's weeb degeneracy with rape, fantasy Nazis, and a loli that shouts Ora Ora as she punches because the author took a fantastic premise and smeared shit all over it.
It got recommended to me by a Redditor.
I do not forgive their sins, or yours for spreading it.
You're not wrong 🫤 There certainly are very cringey elements in it, and I haven't enjoyed every book equally. The writing quality (content aside) is largely ok, but the editing is spotty.
To amend my previous recommendation, do not read this if you are looking for thoughtful, high quality fantasy. It's an interesting premise, with some clever aspects and a lot of bullshit.
That’s basically Inspirational Skeletor.
Anybody read Worm by John McCrae / Wildbow? It's this and it's really really good https://parahumans.wordpress.com/
Actually, now that you mention it, Worm is this to a tee. Worm is still probably one of my favorite reads to date; highly recommend (it's like a The Boys with less evil corporations and more X-Men)!
spoiler
For all the praise, I'm not entirely sure I liked the ending, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it...
I keep telling myself to get around to reading Ward, but so far haven't had the time to commit to it.
Interesting, I thought the ending of Worm was super satisfying and worth the wait.
I read it over 5 years ago and still think about it often, and still add to my playlist of songs that's an imaginary soundtrack to it ('Tracks' by Chelsea Wolfe is the main theme).
Everybody else just go read it, it's a web serial, it's free. I'm amazed that he hasn't managed to get physical books out yet.
Hazbin Hotel kinda?
How would you say they are villains? Some may classify as antiheroes, but like… they basically literally try to save people from extermination.
Yeah, “villain” isn’t a match, but “sexy, unhinged, and morally bankrupt” hits a lot closer.
Agatha all along.. Kinda.
Jessie and James and Meowth
Basically the Harley Quinn show.
Harley being Batman's therapist and keeping his identity secret ("Doctor-patient confidentiality") was one of the most wholesome things ever.
Was gonna say
