I don't really think you know the difference between a villain and antagonist. You keep saying that you do, but your statements have led me to think that you're confusing antagonists with villains.

An villain is someone who does terrible, evil things in general. A villain could be the protagonist (the main character of a story) or the antagonist.

An antagonist is a character who opposes or has opposing intentions to the protagonist. He/she could be the hero or the villain of the story, as long as he/she opposes the protagonist (main character). The antagonist does not necessarily have to do terrible things in order to be one. Protagonist can technically be antagonists only if they oppose other protagonists or the main protagonist.

In your blog post List of SML character's antagonistic acts, you listed terrible actions that the characters committed. These do not necessarily mean that those actions are antagonistic, as they have to oppose the main protagonist or other protagonist. Many the actions you listed were opposing the antagonist. opposing a non-protagonistic character, or not opposing any character at all. They were just terrible actions, which do not count as antagonistic unless it opposes Mario (the main protagonist) or other protagonists. In the case of Mario, he cannot be an antagonist at all, even if he opposes other protagonists, since he's the main protagonist of the series. He could be an antagonist of a video, but not of the series as a whole. Thus, commiting evil actions does not make you an antagonist, unless it opposes the main protagonist or other protagonists.
