Category:Central Antagonists

The central antagonist is best described as the overall secondary antagonist of a story, movie, book-franchise, game, etc. The central antagonist is very often the Big Bad and have more screentime, dialogue and/or impact than the actual main antagonist, but is still the secondary antagonist of the story.

For example: Sheriff Raynold Collins who was the overall secondary antagonist of the second book of the Jurassic World-Midquel-Series due having more dialogue and impact than the two main antagonists; Ussher Vanderlinde and Asperant Pulvér. However, Collins was not the main antagonist.

Also Corban La Lorona who was the overall secondary antagonist of the Sequel-Series of the Jurassic Park-trilogy. The brutish serial-killer was way more dangerous and evil than it’s overall main antagonist Dreyfuss, but Dreyfuss was the actual main villain.

The central antagonist can the main antagonist make even more scary due being more mysterious and enigmatic than, and the central antagonist can also make the main antagonist look like the overarching antagonist or Bigger Bad.

It’s not necessary for a central antagonist to be more dangerous than the main villain, but it can.

The central antagonist is also very often the right-hand of the main villain.
