Fan Casting Contrasting Sequel Antagonist

Role added by connieblackwood on November 1, 2022

Make Suggestion

Description of Contrasting Sequel Antagonist:

Just as a sequel needs a contrast of heroes with a Contrasting Sequel Main Character, as well as a contrast of locations with a Contrasting Sequel Setting, so do its villains. After all, do we want to see the same battle over again? If the previous villain was a Non-Action Big Bad, make this one a fighter. A Punch-Clock Villain to a personal rival. A man with a troupe to a king in his kingdom. Or an extremist to an opportunist. Even changing genders and upping the Foe Romance Subtext are examples of this trope. At times, it is a case of Avenging the Villain, where the one seeking revenge is more emotional and personal than the cold and calculating original villain.
