Everyone loves a story with a juicy villain—but what happens when those compelling, cinematic monsters are based on real people? Many of today’s most talked-about shows – like Inventing Anna, The Dropout, SuperPumped, and WeCrashed – focus on notorious controversial figures or real-life villains. These are fascinating figures who have captured the public imagination. But in their fictionalized form, are they being sold to us as too sympathetic, especially when they’re being played by beautiful, charismatic movie stars like Amanda Seyfried, Jared Leto, and Anne Hathaway? When our anti-hero archetypes are projected onto real people who did documented bad things, does this hopelessly confuse our understanding of right and wrong or who we should be rooting for in these still-unfolding sagas?
