ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Villain hitting

Villain hitting is when someone who is really mean and bad gets hit in a movie or a story. Remember how when you try to take a toy away from your friend and they hit you back? That's kinda like what happens in a movie or a story when the super bad guy does something really bad and the hero has to fight back. It's like the super bad guy is trying to keep the toy (or do something really bad) and the hero is trying to stop them. And sometimes, when the super bad guy gets hit, it makes us feel a little bit better because they deserved it for being so mean.
