I am convinced I am a baddie. My favorite things are stuff like the Sith, House Slytherin, #ThanosDidNothingWrong, Team Cersei, Hail Hydra, etc. For as long as I can remember.
That being said, I love it when the bad guys win. But it doesn't happen on screen very often. Or at all really. It's the ultimate trope. Good always beats evil. I can only think of one movie I have seen where the bad guys absolutely unequivocally triumph and that was Arlington Road. I loved that movie as a kid because it went against the grain. It didn't do well though at the box office though and was quickly forgotten.
So my question is, will this ever happen again? CAN it even happen these days? Just an absolute total domination of evil over good? And I am talking final end product. No "evil is winning just so the good has something to battle back from" kinda script like Empire Strikes Back. (Fantastic movie regardless of course) But a true standalone victory.
