    A few excellent villains that everyone seems to forget:

    John Doe (Kevin Spacey) - Se7en. Not much to say on him. His plan was devilish, and the execution perfect.

    The big and bad Shark - Jaws. Well, yeah.

    Oh, and on the topic of Videogames:

    The AI from System Shock. I hated it. I truly did.

    Le Chuck - Monkey Island. Well, pretty self-explanatory.

    I prefer the Mark Hamill version

    And if we're going into video games foes... I haven't played the entire game, but just listening to the voice acting for The Master in Fallout, just wow... Kudos to Shodan as well.

    And let's not forget Kerrigan.

    And I need to fight Psycho Mantis...

    If we go into games...hoo boy.


    Arthas, Warcraft 3. He betrays his father for the thirst of power generated by Frostmourne.

    Illidan, Warcraft 3. He betrays his people for power.

    Alexei Stukov, Starcraft. He helped mastermind the Zerg plans.

    Kerrigan, Brood War. She is the Brood Queen. Zerg = EVIL incarnate

    Durandal, Marathon. He is so...creepy and evil but also good.

    Max Payne, Max Payne. While he's not really the villian, he is bad. I mean, he murders people!

    Taiidani Empire, Homeworld. Gee, does violating a forgotten treaty really deserve an Atmospheric Deprivation weapon?

    The Beast, Homeworld: Cataclysm. It's the Zerg! In Space!

    Kharaa, Natural Selection. Anything trying to wipe out humanity is a villian. That's why I love the Kharaa.

    The scariest villain ever is the Grand High Witch from the film The Witches (The film of the Roald Dahl book of the same name). She turns kids into mice with sweets and then kills them. This film is meant to be aimed at children, but it scares the pance off me even now. Look:

    <i>Please</i> don't let this degrade into a spamthread.

    What makes a good villian?

    If you say that it's the embodiment of pure malovelence, I'd agree with everyone who suggested Darth Vader. Vader is the perfect dark knight, a character which I found less fearsome than fascinating (until Lucas got the <i>great</i> idea of doing the sequels and spoiled it all...).

    If a villain has to represent the petty, mean aspects of mankind, I'd vote for Dougray Scott in his role as Sean Ambrose in MI2, although most John Woo - villians would come close. The character is traced by greed, selfishness, and narcism - you don't fear him, either, but you despise him.

    As for genuinely insane villians, I'll agree with those who suggested Gary Oldmans role in Leon.

    On the subject of scary villians, I'd definetely vote for the conceptually perfect killer - the Xenomorph.


    Now, for videogame villians.


    My personal favorites, in no particular order, are Magus from Chrono Trigger, although one could argue whether he's truly a bad guy, Simons from Deus Ex, who beats Agent Smith hands-down on his own turf, Jon Irenicus from Baldurs Gate 2, who's just one of the aesthetically coolest mages in any visual medium, and, worse and more hated than all others combined, the HL multiplayer cheater.
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    Gary Oldman in Leon...yes.

    HL Multi-cheater. No. G-Man. Yes.
  • Nemesis_ZeroNemesis_Zero Old European Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 75Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    Something tells me that everyone assuming the G-Man to be a bad guy will experience a few surprises in HL2. At least, that's what I'd do if I was the writer.
  • Owen1Owen1 Join Date: 2003-04-13 Member: 15457Members
    villains... well theres so many, but here's my list anyhow

    1. sonny forelli in the GTA movie (yes they're making 1, and yes, i did see parts)
    2. al pachino as satan in the devil's advocate, while he is evil, u do just love his style
    3. blofeld... well, he is meant to be the evil head honcho of "spectre"
    4. agent smith... good suit
    5. stalin... he ruined communism for every1, now nobody will see the bueaty of divine sharing
  • Smoke_NovaSmoke_Nova Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8697Members
    ehh...

    Sonny Forelli...yeah. and Don Salvatore. (GTA games for me!)
  • RenegadeRenegade Old school Join Date: 2002-03-29 Member: 361Members
    Game villians now?

    Hmmm...

    Well, Sarevok (Baldur's Gate) comes to mind, though you could argue that he only turned out the way he did because he was a victim of circumstance (If you've played Throne of Bhaal you know what I'm talking about).

    And, as Nem so thankfully pointed out, Irenicus. Though again you could argue that he turned out the way he did due to circumstance as well (although stealing peoples souls is just plain evil).

    Nichole Thorne from Max Payne. Absolutely no remorse about having Max's wife and baby murdered.

    That really big one eyed monster alien end-game boss from Duke Nukem 3D. Popping up into the middle of a stadium only to come face to face with THAT creature is still one of my fondest gaming moments.

    The Covenant from Halo. Their <b>religious</b> mission in life is to exterminate all humanity.

    COME TO ME, SON OF JOR-EL...... KNEEEEEEEEEEEEL BEFORE ZOD!!!!

    Yes, Zod wins.

    And I much enjoy Mark Hamill's voice acting of the Joker in the Batman animated series.

    Gamewise...

    Liquid Snake.......... dear brother!!!
  • Quantum_DuckQuantum_Duck Join Date: 2003-10-21 Member: 21851Members, Constellation
    The manager of channel 6 from UHF. I can't think of his name at the moment, but I'm sure someone will remind me before I remember... Funniest movie evar!

    Kefka from Final Fantasy 6. I don't know how they managed to evoke so much feeling with that low quality 16-bit laugh. He was such a great villain, because you loved to hate him, and when you got to the end, it was so satisfying to finally bring him down.

    The Devil from Devil's Advocate


    My god, he had me rooting for him at the end, now THAT'S Evil.

    Something tells me that Nem is probably right. Mastermind? Hell yeah. Ruthless? Likely. Evil? Don't count on it.

    (I knew I should've posted that sooner. Now I look like I'm sucking up to Nem. Again. *sigh*)

    Actually, according to recent statistics, you have passed the point at which sucking 'up' will do you any good. You should try sucking down a little to meet me in the middle <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Oh god, there's something i could have done without seeing. >___< That movie traumatised me as a kid.

    But i've just remembered one of the best all time villains, David Bowie as Jareth in Labyrinth. He's cool, he sings, he dances, he wears skin tight lycra, he has massive hair and he stuffs his ****. The ultimate evil mastermind!
