3.1. Villainous journalists in Spanish films
Of the 135 films in the sample, 98 have characters that can be included in the category of hero or villain in both realistic and unrealistic films, if we consider that the latter are those that present fiction or an excess of satire. If we look at the stories from the 1990s and the first ten years of the 21st century, we discover that there were twenty films with villains.
In the 1990’s, humour among villains was reinforced with lies and stories of a sentimental nature, using television as a backdrop. In the first years of the new century, the fusion of television, women, and wickedness gained strength. Next, the 20 films of this study are shown with the phases, characters, media, and functions according to our methodology:
