Artist Illustrates Heroes All Loved Up With Their Arch Enemies In This Cute Cuddling Series
Imagine if heroes and villains could just stop fighting and cuddle.
Unlike heroes, villains often lack many of the classic qualities. Despite their absence of love, grandeur, and even moral goodness, they are not always entirely terrible.
It would not be incorrect to refer to them as flawed heroes with twisted motives. No one is born bad; rather, circumstances can change over time due to various factors surrounding a person’s life.
People don’t just go off the rails without reason; there was likely once a good heart within them. So, even when these villains exhibit unethical behavior, there remains a bright side if the right buttons are pushed.
They say love heals all things. Perhaps showing them some love may help them see things differently.
Naolito (Nacho Diaz) is a Spanish artist who has created a series of images depicting heroes and villains in a different light. The premise of the series “Villains Need Love” is to create a world where we do not engage in combat with our enemies but instead attempt to show them love and compassion.
This concept has now been developed into a book featuring more than 50 villains who are loved by their foes. Continue reading if you would like to see some of the worst villains all loved up with their adversaries.
