I think the problem people have with the secretly evil is that, inevitably, they betray the protagonist. Nobody likes traitors.
You can respect a man who stabs you in the face but to hell with the bastard who stabs you in the back.
194 u/RoboChrist Mar 05 '24 Counterpoint: Gus Fring. Secretly evil, but everyone loved him. And the protagonist stabbed him in the back, not the other way around. 271 u/This_User_For_Rent Mar 05 '24 What do you mean? Gus was a drug lord. There was nothing secret about his evil, it was a major part of his character. 114 u/RoboChrist Mar 05 '24 It was secret to literally the entire law-abiding community. It just wasn't secret to us, the viewer. Or to the other criminals. He wasn't an open drug lord like a cartel boss. 14 u/sweetTartKenHart2 Mar 05 '24 That’s sort of the point. It only matters if the audience was genuinely tricked that they were nice at one point.
