Bad guys for the sake of being bad

[xeemzor]

I'm watching Rambo now and it seems like the bad guys in the movie are "bad" just for the sake of being bad. Maybe it's just me, but it detracts for the movie when there are plot hole the size of an elephant. For exampe, why would you kill the village people that work the land and pay you taxes? Doesn't make economic sense. Maybe I just look too deep into movies....

It's Rambo...in this case...yes you are.

Rambo is not about a plot...it's about carnage.

HAHA that reminds me of those old video games where you come across a section of map and there's the enemies pacing back and forth with a dumb frown on their face.

I used to wonder, "what do the bad guys do when I'm not playing the game?" Do they still pace back and forth, angrily and without cessation? What do they do when there's no protagonist trying to ruin their day? Do they do other bad guy things? Do they sit around and plot the next nefarious deed? But even that has to get old, so do they take breaks? Do they trade jokes at the office water cooler and then go back to being bad guys?
