I'm nitpicking probably, but shouldn't it be: 'bad guy' not 'bad guy'
Well, in the actual movie Zangief does put the stress on "guy" and not "bad."
Gender fluid zangief
Piggy-backing to nitpick something else. Was he burgling or robbing? Those are different things, Robert. You can't use them interchangeably.
Burgling is entering a place with intent to commit a crime
Robbing is theft by force or threat of force
So burgling for sure
Common law and some jurisdictions require burglary to occur at night which I thought was interesting. In many cases, the intended crime must be a felony to be within the definition of burglary.
An example modern burglary statute (Texas) can be found here:
https://casetext.com/statute/texas-codes/penal-code/title-7-offenses-against-property/chapter-30-burglary-and-criminal-trespass/section-3002-burglary#:~:text=Section%2030.02%20%2D%20Burglary%20(a),%2C%20theft%2C%20or%20an%20assault.
For Texas, the perp must intend a felony, theft, or assault (a lesser included offensive of battery, so no saying I intended battery not assault).
Piggybacking on this piggybacked nitpick with yet another nitpick... Why is Zangief considered a villain in Wreck-It Ralph? Except for maybe one instance in the Street Fighter series, he is always on the side fighting against the evildoers. At least that's the case for every Street Fighter game with a story more complex than "The World Warrior". And in that one exception where he did fight for the bad guys, he was being tricked into doing so if I recall.
Is it... Is it because his country of origin is the USSR? 🤔
I have a vague memory of him fighting with Bison against the good guys in the Street Fighter movie. I might be wrong at how it ended though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The overemphasis on bad guy is just exaggerating the way we already place emphasis on the two different meanings of the phrase.
At least in my accent, I place slight emphasis on bad if I'm talking about an "enemy", whereas the emphasis falls on guy if I'm making a character judgement of a person.
I don't know if I'm making any sense at all, but I think that's what they're going for.
