Robbie loves villians!

Robbie, our sweet little kid, has a bit of a problem. We may need an intervention. He loves the villains of movies. He thinks they are great. I guess, in general, people tend to like the bad guys more anyway. Everyone went nuts about Jack Nicholson as the Joker, and later Heath Ledger for the same role... but at four, you would think he would root more for the heroes.Captain Hook - This one makes sense. Captain Hook is just as colorful and entertaining as Peter pan. Robbie prefers the "people peter pan" over the disney peter pan. And he prefers captain hook. He met captain hook, ( an actor who was playing him in a stage play) and ran up and gave him a hug. Captain Hook said "aren't you a brave little boy." Robbie thinks that Captain Hook is going to come over to our house and play with him.

Voldemort - Robbies access to this villain is somewhat limited and censored, but he still loves him. Unlike Captain Hook, Voldemort is a bit darker. but his manners are just as good. Robbie thinks that Voldemorts coming over for dinner. What about Harry, Robbie?


Davey Jones - Robbie has always misguidedly refered to him as "sharkhead", even though he clearly has an octopus head. Out of all the villains, this one I thought would be the most likely to scare Robbie. Robbie, however is unphased by Jones. Once again, Robbie doesn't get to see Jones very often, but he has a davey jones action figure and loves any scene with jones and the Kraken. He thinks that "sharkhead" is coming over to watch Pirates with him.

What can I do? I don't want to show him Darth Vador. He'll go nuts over him! We have tried to explain to him why the good guys are the good guys and why the bad guys are the bad guys. Christie described it as like "talking to a wall, only you get further with the wall.." For one thing, he doesn't get to see scenes where they are doing their bad guy stuff. But still! He's trying to invite them all over to eat our food! Help!
