The movie "Gladiator" is a perfect example of why it's more logical - for most men, not just incels - to identify with the villain over the hero. Honestly, this analysis could be used for 99% of what Hollywood puts out, since Hollywood is so formulaic and simplistic, but Gladiator is a great example because it's a well-known film with particularly one-dimensional "heroes."
The main hero, Maximus, is a good-looking gigachad who is lusted after by every pretty woman he meets. He is an extremely powerful man, entrusted with the command of the emperor's armies, a brilliant general, an expert in physical combat, a skilled political manipulator, is loved and respected by everyone, is handpicked by the emperor to be his successor, and even has an eyeroll-inducing sixth sense to sniff out when he's in physical danger or is about to be betrayed. He is a "Gary Stu" (a male equivalent of a "Mary Sue," an unrealistic, one-dimensional character who is perfect at everything and has no flaws). This not only makes his character impossible to identify with, it makes him BORING. There's no room for his character to be developed because he's already "perfect." The only people who are fans of Maximus are
a) foids, because they want to fuck him
b) bluepilled losers who try to live vicariously through Maximus so they can temporarily forget what losers they are in real life
In contrast, the main villain, Commodus, is a man who tried so hard his whole life, but was never good enough. He could never be the brilliant general, the skilled politician, the mighty hero who was beloved by all like Maximus. Most importantly, his failures are due to traits he was born with and has no control over. When he sees the one advantage he WAS born with - his status as the son of the emperor - rendered meaningless when the emperor decides to make Maximus his successor - he snaps. He orchestrates a coup and makes himself the new emperor. This is the sort of thing that makes a character INTERESTING. He's complex. He has flaws. He has a motive for doing what he does. Men, even chads, can identify with him because every man, even chad, has had that occasion in his life where he just wasn't good enough, no matter how hard he tried.
Of course, it's Hollywood, the hero has to win in the end, so the movie ends with Maximus killing Commodus in the arena, dying a heroic death himself, and getting his cock sucked figuratively by all of Rome while Commodus' body is left to rot. The Hollywood Jew's message is very clear. Know your place, goyim, bow down to the chad above you in the hierarchy, don't rock the boat, obey your massas, pay your taxes, and keep slaving at your 9 to 5 so your Jew boss can get more shekels. Commodus had to be punished, not for being a tyrant or killing innocent people, but for refusing to accept his place.
