We all love movies. They're a great escape from reality and often show us wonderful imagery,

ideology, and even showcase age-old themes.

Themes like falling in love, winning in a personal triumph, or even classical things like

good guys versus bad guys.

Now more often than not we find ourselves rooting for the good guy. We want Captain America to beat the

red skull. We want Luke to help Vader become Anakin again, but we simply want to

see Fido Sam Marion Pipp, come back to the Shire.

But many times there are also villains who capture us with their ideology, their swagger,

or maybe they fascinated simply just by being who they are.

We have become fascinated with serial killers of late,

such as the oxidative stress-eating, fava bean-loving Hannibal-lecter.

Now speaking of Hannibal and cannibalism,

Kuru, the brain-eating pryon disease, has become essentially extinct.

The four-a tribe of New Guinea discontinued the brain-eating

cannibalistic practice. Once they understood it causes diseases, they said

just because we're cannibals does not make us stupid.

Think about that in the pandemic era.

But even serial killers do not fascinate as much as our favorite villain.

There is no greater example of a villain becoming the main stage captivating audience

than Hollywood's favorite obsession. No, no, I'm not going into a diatribe about

Thanos and his favorite snap, nor am I talking about Bain and his mask or he who shall not be named.

So then what creature or villain am I talking about?
