The villains series comes to an end today, and so does the Champion City Comics Writers Academy. The doors to the Academy are not going to be closed for good because I want to talk more about my life in webcomics next week, which really doesn't fit into a writing tips article.
The last bit of advice I want to give up and coming writers is that when you create a villain, then include a dose of humanity. If your villain is a human then allow them to have emotions. We're tired of the villain that's always in an evil mood. Villains can be happy or tired. They can go out on a date, get their hair cut, or even crack a joke.
Not allowing your villain to have a human quality is a major flaw. We've had the evil for the sake of being evil talk, so I really hope that sank in to your skull.Watch the video below to see how villains have a soft side and a funny side at times.
I've been going over tips for writing villains this week, and today's post is just a friendly reminder that villains can be female. However, the real challenge for a writer will be to create a female comic book villain that looks like the pre New 52 Amanda Waller and not some finalist for Miss Beach Bikini Bimbo 2013.
The topic of tomorrow's post will be villains and humor.
I'm posting some useful advice to up and coming comic book writers about developing villains in their stories. I've got a small bit of advice for today's post and it involves fighting. If you are going to develop a fight scene then PLEASE do not subject us to the fight scene where the villain and the hero trade punches while delivering witty banter..
Watch a MAA fight or a boxing match and count the number of times they stop and trade wisecracks. Did Mike Tyson say anything witty before chewing off a portion of Evander Holyfield's ear? No. It was *CHOMP* and *SPIT*.
I love a good fight scene in comics and I don't mind it when the hero is thinking to himself or herself how he or she needs to suck it up and win the fight against their arch-nemesis. A part of me gets Mike-Tyson-about-to-bite-off-some-fool's-ear angry when a good fight between a hero and villain is filled with too much banter. STOP IT! Talking and fighting do not mix unless you are Muhammad Ali.
Tomorrow's post will be about how the ladies can be villains too!
Welcome to part two of our series that deals with developing villains in your comic book script. If you missed part one then click here to read a few basic tips on developing your villain. Today's post is about goals.
A villain should have goals because they can not be evil simply because you need a villain in your story. What will set the villain apart from your hero in the goals department is that the villain will act in an unethical manner to obtain their goals. For example, they'll con someone or hurt someone or blow up a building. It is important to point out that the goals of the hero and villain should be believable. World domination is a goal that has been done again and again in comics, so it is important to have the reader believe this villain wants to dominate the world because that's their goal and not because they are assigned the role of the villain.
A common problem for rookie comic book writers is that they create one-dimensional villains that are just plain evil. I have had the opportunity to read some scripts where the villains are these purely evil men that kill a bunch of people for no reason. Stop creating these one-dimensional villains and start creating more well-developed characters.
Here just a few basic tips:
1. Villains are people too, so drop the every villain is a psychopath mentality. Sorry, but not every villain is born as pure evil. Life shapes a person's psyche, so perhaps you could include a moment or series of events that turned your character from good to 'evil'.
2. If you have a psychopath in your story, then at least do some research regarding mental illness to understand that type of behavior. Watching a bunch of action movies is not the right kind of research.
3. Villains are at different levels of evil. Some are ruthless businessmen who want nothing more than to destroy their competition via sabotage. Some are bullies who are out to torment weaker kids because the bully has a parent at home that torments him or her. Some are crooked politicians who look the other way when a company dumps a bunch of chemicals into the drinking water supply of some poor community.
4. A villain could have a hobby. Maybe they enjoy cooking or fishing. Remember that villains are human.
5. Villains can be non-human. They can be aliens or robots or demons. However, develop the 'why' portion of their evilness.
These are just a few tips you can use for your villain character development.I'll have more villain stuff for you tomorrow.
The Champion City Comics Writers Academy is for up and coming comic book writers. I'm here to give you some helpful advice for developing your scripts. I've mainly dealt with creating scripts for more action oriented comic book stories, but today's topic is for the slice of life script.
It hasn't happened yet, but one day I will have someone send me their slice of life script. These are stories about the lives of people and they will either go the true life route (i.e. Jerusalem by Guy Delisle) or tales inspired by real life events route (i.e. Ghost World by Daniel Clowes). The inspired by true events route is the easier path, so let me direct the rest of this article towards the real life script writers.
Slice of life stories have to be incredibly engaging works, and if you need examples then read Maus I: A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman, Blankets by Craig Thompson, Stitches by David Small, and My Friend Dahmer by Derf Backderf. All four were major page turners for me, and all four were true life stories.
If you want to tell the true life story then it better be a page turner. Don't pull a James Frey and make your life more fiction than fact. That is wrong, and you can simply write an inspired by true events version instead. They'll find the lies and you'll look foolish. Have fun sitting on Oprah's couch.
Most importantly, a life lesson is necessary in these true life stories. Show us that you learned something along the way which made you a better person. Don't pull a Laurie Sandell and write something like The Impostor's Daughter where it's all about you while dropping famous names. That's not cool, plus you're going to irritate a bunch of readers.
True life is not always that interesting, but there are people out there with amazing stories to tell. Tell us the real story, and don't be afraid to show us mistakes you made. Show us what you learned and how you became a better person. Don't give us a Hollywood treatment or make it a self-congratulatory piece of work.
Next week, I want to start off the week talking about villains.
