Monde Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Since it's Halloween i thought i'd ask this. I was going to make a poll also, but there are just way too many villains to choose from O_O. From the top of my head I'd say... Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame for being so dark and realistic. Hellfire! Xehanort from KH for planning practically everything ahead and deceiving so many people. Gaston! So who's your favourite villain, and why?

Wizard Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I guess I liked N from Pokémon as a villain, as even when you were working against him, you knew he was a good guy. Oh... Metatron was pretty awesome from DeSu Overclocked's Chaos Route, and Naoya was just as awesome when you played AS him, or played against him. He's so obviously evil, it's funny.

Thor Odinson Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Loki I feel he's a complex character, and his dynamic with Thor is one of my favourite things in Marvel U. He makes you feel sympathy for him, but unless you've fallen victim to his good looks you also get he's a crazy-ass bastard. He's not a being of pure evil, but rather chaos, and I really like that he's willing to go to any means to be as unpredictable as possible, and it's fitting of his trickster god status. And he is pretty hot, not gonna lie. I'm not one of those fans who's like daww Loki is hottie must woobify because can't stand hotties being so evil because doing that would be a disservice to his character, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't find him pretty attractive, at least both Hiddleston's portrayal and in the upcoming Agent of Asgard series, as well as in Siege.

Dwarfishh Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2)-He's a glorious, hilarious douchebag Saren (Mass Effect)-Essentially a rouge supercop. Just thought he was done really well. Buggy The Clown (One Piece)-So much fail Reaver (Fable II/III)-See Handsome Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monde Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Saren (Mass Effect)-Essentially a rouge supercop. Just thought he was done really well. Saren was more of a pawn to the reapers though, If anyone in the ME U then maybe the illusive man or the Reapers themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still found him more compelling, because you felt like you had a chance. Most of the third game was spent like 'OH GOD WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!' then in the second game, you're basically one of the bad guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The Joker, in all his incarnations, he's a great representation of villainy. Scar from the Lion King is another one I like, Dracula from both his original source, the actual Vlad the Impaler, and the Castlevania version. Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Snake in Metal Gear Solid. Giovanni from Pokemon. Damion Cray from the Alex Rider book series. Nergal, Alvis, and Garnef from Fire Emblem. Ganon, Megatron, Darth Vader, Kefka, I could go on, I'm a big fan of movies and games, and I really like villains. #1 has to be Joker though.

Silver Lightning Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I probably have a lot, but off the top of my head for the two things I'm primarily preoccupied with these days: Lyon for Fire Emblem, and N for Pokemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I have a lot too, but I'm not sure who is my all time favorite. There's Mr. L from Mario, Vaati and Ghirahim from Zelda, Black Knight from FE, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Zira from The Lion King II, and probably more I'm not thinking of. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwarfishh Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 B-But you can't kill children in skyrim! He's so evil he breaks the game. He combines every players efforts to kill the children, which amalgamates into one mighty blow, forever writing his name in blood upon the pages of history.

Dwalin2010 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Frollo from Hunchback of Notre Dame for being so dark and realistic. Hellfire! I didn't particularly like Frollo a s a villain. He was in love with Esmeralda, and a really evil person shouldn't be capable of love, in my opinion. If we are talking about Disney movies, I would choose Scar, who killed his brother. But it's difficult to choose the most interesting villain, there are too many. Maybe the mafia boss "The Puppeteer" (Il Puparo) from the Italian TV series "Octopus" (La Piovra). On the other hand, by choosing him, I am contradicting my own previous statement about Frollo that a villain shouldn't be capable of loving, since the Puppeteer cared about his adopted daughter. But anyway, he impressed me how he managed to control the mafia and even weasel his way out of being killed even when the whole mafia Commission turned against him.

Camilla Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Hmm, I'm not sure if I like any real villains. I suppose the closest character I have to fit the bill is Light Yagami, but I personally don't really think he is a villain (but I don't think he's good either. I view him as a very complex character). Most people seem to consider him to be a villain, though, so I'll just go with him as my answer anyways. All the other "villains" that I like turn out to be good guys just playing the part for the greater good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randa Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Light was definitely one. However I would say my favorite would have to be Joshua from the World Ends With You. He may not be the largest villain but he does cause a lot of trouble for Neku and he has a large impact on the story at multiple points.

DodgeDusk Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Err probably biased on this one due to absolutely loving the game but Dimentio Now I haven't played this game in a LONG while (I really need to re-buy it ]: ) but from what I remember Dimentio was ruthless, chaotic, emotionless, sadistic and manipulative. One of the darkest characters in a Mario game and I love him because of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I thought Sephiran was an excellent villain. You could tell from a mile away (by the end of PoR definitely) that he would be a villain, but he was still great. Baldanders in Severian's magnum opus is great, but I prefer Dr Talos. I think he could reasonably classified as villainous by Sword of the Lictor. The two of em are not really superb antagonists, but they do some bad stuff in general. I'll also go with Lens Larque in The Demon Princes. He has great subordinates and the culmination of his plot during the "falling action" of The Face is absolutely hilarious. Lord Gro in The Worm Ouroborous (sp?) was great too. He betrays both sides at varying times, and manages to seem noble despite being treacherous almost on principal. Saren was more of a pawn to the reapers though, If anyone in the ME U then maybe the illusive man or the Reapers themselves. Being a pawn of a villain generally makes you a villain. And Saren was a high-ranking piece, considering the extent to which Sovereign went to modify him to serve them. I think he's a pretty good answer.

I agree that Sovereign is a bigger villain, but I don't think that increasing the scope of a villain's plans necessarily will make them a more favorite villain. Otherwise, everyone's favorite villains would probably be after world/universal domination or destruction. EDIT-Not saying the reapers ain't cool though.
