Something that I was considering after watch Angelina Jolie as the titular character Maleficent. It is a rather interesting interpretation because it shows a character that we have thought of as the main villain since 1959 in a different light.
Some of the people have been critical of this, suggesting that the ‘evil witch’ did not need a backstory. Instead, it was enough to know that she was just ‘plain evil’. However, I tend to disagree with that statement since the Nolan Batman Trilogy.
The Joker did not have a backstory or any motivations, the only reason that he was put on the planet was to cause death and suffering. The comics (and the movies) have a running gag where he tells a different story each time, making him just as menacing (if not more) while still leaving the Joker's identity in mystery.
My question is, what do you prefer? Do you prefer your evil to have a good backstory and motivation (making it easier to connect) or do you prefer a malevolent force that solely seems to exist in order to cause chaos and death?
