Why This Battle Matters

Lord Voldemort versus Norman Bates isn’t just a matchup; it's a narrative-rich cataclysm of 'hide-behind-your-seat' vs. 'run-for-your-life.' Here's the ideological battleground: Voldemort’s global, magical dominance challenges Bates’s intense, personal horror. What’s at stake? It's more than just rankings—it’s about which style of villainy leaves a deeper scar on our cultural psyche. Behind this battle is a fundamental choice: Do we fear the dark lord who aims to control the world, or the boy next door who's lost control of himself?
