Unlikable immoral people


Usually on films or shows, there will be 1 or 2 villainous characters. Or they will show a villain get a redemption arc but here, it's like every single character is a villain living in a villain world. They're all bad guys. There is no one to root for. If everyone is a villain from the get go, and all are unlikable, I doubt anyone here will get any redemption arc.

I saw a movie once about Hitler, Himmler, Goering and all those other evil dudes. No good guys at all, nobody to root for. Yet it was interesting and even entertaining. You don't have to like the characters.

Maybe it reflects your character but most people cannot empathize with an all evil cast.

Like Casino (1995), all repulsive characters.

I couldn't disagree more. I like almost all of the main characters, to varying degrees.

What are you talking about? All the main characters use their “callings” to go around saving people in danger. I think you posted on the wrong board.
