The Nowhere King is one of the BEST villains in the past decade
I recently finished watching Centaurworld, wasn't expecting too much outside of some good animation and silly jokes with some story sprinkled in. I can't believe this kinda show just casually dropped one of the BEST villains I've seen in a long time. The Nowhere King is a perfect villain.
He has a great design, his backstory is tragic, his lullaby is INCREDIBLE, and even though he's committed unforgiveable atrocities, you still sympathize with him. Especially nowadays where image issues and insecurities are at an all time high, it's such a great lesson too. He didn't have to change himself, he had everything, it was his own insecurities that led to his downfall.
At the same time though, they didn't backpeddle and forgive him. He started a war out of his own selfish desires, and you see the pain in her eyes where she knows she has to kill him, but still loves him deep down.
