(chimes in!)

I think what Blue Luna is trying to say is that while the two terms are often connected, they really aren't necessary the same thing.

A villain is defined by doing evil deeds. They are a negative force.

An antagonist is a term from the ancient Greek traditions, and refers to a person or force that opposes or blocks the Protagonist.

In a story, the Protagonist can also be a villain while the Antagonist is a hero. (Death Note would be a good example of such a story.)
