Night Nurse was a little confusing to me at first. With the creepy moon and dark lighting, I was not sure if she was a super hero or a villain. I do like the color chosen for her though. The bright pink helps to identify her as a good guy. Maybe if she would have been white and pink, this would have been more obvious.
Biohazard is a very well put together villain. His red and black colors are typical evil colors and add to his look. In contrast to Night Nurse, he appears to be grungy and sloppy, while Night Nurse is clean cut and well put together.
Looking at the video, it appears that Biohazard is not the brightest light bulb. Night Nurse obviously throws a reflective barrier over the poor innocent girl, but Biohazard still shoots his evil snots at her. The snots proceed to bounce off of the shield and jump right back in his face. Instead of shooting over the shield at Night Nurse, he just gives up and flies away. This could also be some subtext found in the video. It doesn’t come and tell us right away that Biohazard is a complete idiot, but upon further inspection of the film, we can see through his actions that he is indeed a complete idiot.

This hero/villain was one of the only that I saw that used lighting to it’s advantage. Even though they both have on colors that could be villainous, the shadows are a complete give away. The villain has shadows behind him, and even some on his face that is cast by his hat. This was a nice touch and helped make the contrast between them more obvious.
Apart from black, the colors of the bad guy are blue and purple, while the hero is proudly wearing red and yellow. These are great color palettes to emphasize the difference between the two. The villain looks very suspicious and like he’s trying to hide, while the hero looks proud and ready to go kick some villain butt.
This brings us to our next point, movement. The posture and position of the characters tells us about their personality. The evil guy looks sly because of his smirk, popped collar, and covered body. The hero looks like bold and like she is ready to get physical because of her posture. Her sword ready to be drawn and her determined look help add to this over all feel. These emotions are not said aloud, but can be observed.

Pepsi vs Crush. Oh yeahhh. This was my favorite hero/villain assignment, because of the characters, how they drew them, and their animation.
Contrast between the two in many ways. The first being colors. The pepsi can wears the obvious red and blue. And the crush rocks the orange and white. But the subtext of this rivalry can be seen in the brands. Pepsi and Crush are competing brand names and that is the root of their violence. That is what set this team apart from others, it was a very intelligent choice of hero vs villain.
The video may be the best part of this assignment. The movement of both the hero and the villain is very impressive. When the pepsi gets angry, he squirts his arms out to attack the cashier. That movement in itself is very evil and you can tell that he is a violent villain. The mortal combat techno song added a lot to their fight scene. The crush can obviously destroyed the pepsi can. When he jumped up they kept the size and weight of the character very consistent. Overall, they did a great job and put a lot of thought and time into their characters and animation
