Well if you wanna break it down...Cargando said:I don't know... he certainly did more harm than good to Donnie.ravens_nest said:He also wasn't a villain the last time I watched it?? (literally last week)Cargando said:Hmmm... I'm going to say Frank the rabbit out of Donnie Darko.
He's certainly a memorable character.
I saw him more as an angel of fate more than anything.

Frank was actually Donnie's sister's boyfriend. The two don't really meet until he runs over Gretchin.
Way before that happens, a wormhole appears above Donnie's house connecting Donnie's present and the 28 days later or whatever the number was. A plane (carrying his mother no less) is caught in this wormhole and an engine is ripped from it, this destroys Donnie's bedroom and he would have died but he went sleepwalking instead.
We are to believe that Frank the rabbit leads Donnie away from the house, thus saving his life, and offfering Donnie a glimpse at an alternate reality lasting 28 days.
All Frank does is ensure's Donnie discovers everything about time travel and wormhole's etc to ensure he makes a conscious choice to remain in bed when the inevitable happens.
After seeing what happens to Gretchin, Donnie gives his life willingly so that the true reality is restored (he travels back in time).
I wouldn't classify Frank as a villain as he doesn't really do anthing of any significance in the true reality. Except maybe bone his sister or whatever.
Plus he may even have saved the world. If Donnie didn't carry out his destiny, the world would be irreperably changed and divided by zero or something...
Exactly what I was going to say. He was infinitely awesome in that movie. How the Hell did noone ever hear about him before?kiteboy said:Colonel Hans Landa as played by christoph waltz in inglorious basterds.
