Best Villain Ever? Nominations.

[Gamefreak]

Ok, both of you calm down.  It's nothing to get all riled up over.

[Mysterious F.]

Huh? Did it look like we were arguing again? I didn't really consider that arguing, especially comparing it to how we argued before.  ;)

[darkphantomime]

I think you misintepret what I mean by 'strong'. A character that is 'strong' is NOT someone who can 'level major cities with a cheap deus ex machina', a STRONG character is one who we come to know very well, a person who's figurative dramatic place in a work is something that we've explored thoroughly and whose appearance(s) in the work do not come off as cheap instances of plot devices, but instead flows along the course with great grace and natural spirit.

Dramatic theory is very important, I'm simply making commentary on how somethings seem to be odd and leaves one's suspension of disbelief almost nonexistant. It is a very important thing in any art in which a story is told.

I should  consider film or literary critic as a career choice, hmm...

[Penguin dude 2]

Ovan from .hack//G.U. just because he betrayed you so good and his AIDA arm. Yggdrasil from Tales of Symphonia because he's and angel and had a really good voice. Wiseman from BKO for having the best bad guy voice EVER. Grunty from Banjo-Kazooie for being the comic relief. And Majora for just being Majora.

[Mysterious F.]

Okay, I'm just going to end this argument the best way I can: I'm changing my nomination. Mine is now the Akatsuki Leader.

[MatthewThief]

well since Seymour cant be nominated how about Ultros(FFVI) Weiss(FFVII,dirge) or Dark Link

[darkphantomime]

ULTROS! Best comic relief villain in an FF game EVER!

Heehee, hentai joke...

[Sovelis]

Sephiroth on Kingom Hearts 2.

[Mysterious F.]

Hmmm, there is another very great character I would love to nominate, Loco (from MAR), but she later turns into a protagonist, so I'm not really sure if you would call her a villian.

[darkphantomime]

That sort of thing happens a lot. I tend to think of them as 'neutral parties'.

[DW]

Sephiroth on Kingom Hearts 2.

...you DO know he's from FF7, right?

[Mysterious F.]

To bring this topic back, I would like to (yet again) replace my nomination with Mayuri Kurotsuchi, who is high on the list of anime's most sadistic and cruel characters.

[darkphantomime]

Oh him, Herr Doktor.

[Mysterious F.]

Wow, I know what that means. It is used in parts of Gemrany and Austria to address male doctors, right?

[darkphantomime]

Especially under Hitler's death squad, the sadistic Doktor death.
