voldeland- Henry Walther

Evil- profoundly immoral and malevolent.

Here's a news flash; evil doesn't exists.

Well, there goes most common contemporary archetype that plagues the land of stale remakes and reboots, the place of no substance: hollowood.

Not only are the ideas hollow in the place that-must-not-be-named (vol...vold...voldeland?) but also are the so called "villains". Singular motives drive medieval actions which lack any justification. Weak backstories often attempt to justify unjustifiable acts unsuccessfully. There in lies the problem of voldeland movies, any so called "evil" villain must lack a moral compass. The real world (or the matrix) does not work like that (unless we're all in the matrix).

The way I see it, in the real world, everyone posses a moral compass but everyone's differs. That is the inherent problem with the concept of "evil", it hinges on the false assumption that some lack morality. If one can justify their action in anyway that pleases them, it is subjectively moral and therefore does not satisfy the definition of evil.

Many would rebut with "well well well is Hitler and Bin Laden not evil? *smiles smugly*"
It depends on if the judgement is taking place in a vacuum of only your opinion, or humanity as a whole. If you admit to the former, you admit subjectivity. If you agree with the latter, you submit to objectivity which means your individual moral compass can't be applied to others. Here lies the catch-22 (my favorite book), if one does not express remorse for their actions, they have justified their actions which means their actions are objectively moral and therefore not evil, if one does express remorse, malevolency is negated which also negates evilness.

Because of this catch-22, nobody can ever be evil and therefore evilness does not exist.

Boom.
