Idris Elba called playing villainous characters a form of 'therapy' but that the twisted elements make him want to comfort the screenwriters who create them.

Yeah, we just need the check to clear, Richard "RB" Botto. A huge would be nice too though. Haha I turn it on when I'm writing and turn it off when I'm not ("it" being me thinking of dark things for my scripts).

Villains are what make a hero. The first suicide squad suffered from a poor villain. Those characters are a great collection with not enough to play against.

How can you develop a threat or have coherent actions when the antagonist is poorly developed.

Richard "RB" Botto

You cannot, my friend. You cannot.

Nico Cusack

Twisted villains, in my opinion, are usually some of the most fun to write because they are so far from any sort of my reality, it pushes me as a writer to grow to see what sort of ways I can develop them.

Richard "RB" Botto

Completely understand, Nico Cusack. Allows one to stretch the creative muscles, no doubt.

It's as much therapy for the writer as it is for the performer.
