Entertainment: Does the bad guy ever win?
Sun, 15 Jul 2007

After having just watched the latest Harry Potter film installment (in Oshawa of all places, where we derived the Punch-Mullet game), I begin to wonder.. does the bad guy ever win?

Now, I don't refer to those fine books where the bad guy is the hero (a certain Vlad Taltos comes to mind) -- I'm talking the actual opponent, the enemy, the great evil, the aggressor. Maybe he's even the good guy in the case of an anti-hero. But the other-side of the fence?

I know a number of short stories where this occurs (I Have No Mouth Yet I Must Scream for example).
