Does every story need a villain?
There is an old saying that the foundation of good fiction is "conflict on every page." That conflict does not necessarily have to be between two people...In fact, fiction is often richer if the conflicts are more universal. One example of this concept often taught to young writers is "The Old Man and the Sea" by Ernest Hemingway. The "conflict" is seemingly spelled out explicitly in the title as "Man vs. Sea," but Hemingway weaves in far greater depth. In only 130 pages, we have a story about a man struggling not only against nature, but against the expectations of others, his own station in life and the passing of time. Similarly, in speaking about his story "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Hemingway once said that a great war story is not just about battlefield heroics.....it's not just about good guy vs. bad guy or man vs. enemy.... it is about the basic struggle between life and death. In the end, a story's greatness persists because the root conflict is built around things with which we can all relate. Not all of us will go to war, enter a bull ring or become a costumed superhero...but will all experience longing and loss, ambition and failure...and ultimately have to deal with our own mortality.
Is there a Marvel storyline/movie in which two villains are pit against each other?
I was reading through Mark Gruenwald’s Captain America a month ago, and there’s actually a great Acts of Vengeance tie-in! Magneto decides to turn against the Red Skull for being a Nazi and leaves him in a hole to die.The Skull would eventually be rescued by Crossbones.
Why don't villains ever fight each other?
The question is literal. Not just in comics, but in general. You never see two evils fighting each other. When I watch a movie, I find when evil decides to fight another evil more appealing than hero vs. evil. You know there's a famous quote, "Sometimes you can't fight evil with good. You have to fight it with another kind of evil." I love this quote. But it doesn't seem to follow any movie at all. You see so rare that there are 2 evils that fight each other. I'm tired of evils teaming up. I'm tired of heros fighting evils. Let's have 2 evil beings fight each other. Let's have an evil be good for a change. I'm so bored of these obvious plots. Hero Vs. Villain. So boring. I'm just so tired and bored of seeing evil prevail over good. Why can't evil help good? In Ghost Rider, the last one, when the evil spirit turned good, that was amazing. Beautiful. I love to see the good come out of the darkest things, but I never any story with this plot. There was always innocence before we became something. In "Rise of the Guardians" when that Tooth-fairy character said, "We were always someone before we became something." That sparked a thought that everything; even evil, was good before it became what they became. I just wish the plot of 2 evils was more prevalent. We obviously all love seeing this happen, why isn't it popular?

How would you end in an action story the fight between 2 strong guys?
One: The guys become friends. Two: Someone/something even stronger defeats the two guys. Three: The two guys fight and both of them are nearly dead and in the final minutes of their life they finally make friends. Four: Someone comes into their lives and changes them and they become friends. Five: They fight each other and die. Six: They fight each other and are nearly dead and get taken to hospital and manage to survive. Seven: They stop the fight over something really pointless and stupid. Eight: A power takes them over and makes them fight each other and they realise they actually don't want to. Nine: They fight and the guy who loses is never seen again. Ten: They fight and the guy who loses accepts his defeat. Eleven: One guy accidentally kills the other guy and has to cover up the murder. Twelve: Both of the guys die and the story tells how their families are affected by it. Thirteen: Both of the guys get killed before the fight. Fourteen: The guy who wins runs away with the loser's wife. Fifteen: They fight and somehow they can't defeat eachother.
Which hero/villain team up would be/is most satisfying to see? Why?
As a fan of Dreamworks Animation Studios, it would be incredibly to see these two characters team up (or even fight against each other if the story demands it):You got the evil Gallaxhar (played by Rainn Wilson)And then you have the formally evil superhero, MegamindImagine how interesting the pairing would be.You have two aliens from another planet who decides to inhabitant EarthBoth characters have an immense knowledge of technology (that is, how to make and use such technology)Even if they fight a lot, seeing the two work together against a foe would mean a devastating force to reckon with.
