Villains have more to work with generally cause they’re usually the ones doing the stuff that makes the plot go and have more complex motives comparatively cause a hero’s primary motive is stopping the villain. Villains are generally active where heroes are reactive. This is cause most movies think the best outcome is a return to status quo for everyone but the hero who gets personally rewarded.

Great example is Fargo. Both the TV series and the movie.
Reminds me next Saturday I am reserving the noon to 2pm slot on bloop to stream the series.
Speaking from when I did community theatre - Villains are also allowed to be more everything, which is just fun.
