League Unlimited's Favourite Villain

[gUt]

Although having said that I think one or two of my choices wouldn't quite make sense.

Or Sauron is a bloke who made some rings to unify the world. Some bastards stole them for their own purposes and then proceeded to spread rumour and innuendo about Sauron and his purposes. Worse still, the main antagonists riled up the inhabitants of middle earth, set them on a mission to attack Sauron and then bailed out to the ships whilst this was all going on. Sauron did his best to communicate with the antagonists, even inventing and distributing communication devices, but no-one wanted to negotiate. It was all just attack, attack, attack.

Sauron has a long history of a fall from grace prior to LOTR to think about as well imo.

Six voters in and so far only nine characters have had more than a single person voting for them. Two runaway leaders at this point, but plenty of votes to come, I'd hope.

 

[gUt]

no prizes for guessing one of them.

ONE of them.

do you know who EYE mean?

 

[Parra]

I didn't include him.

 

[Misanthrope]

ONE of them.

do you know who EYE mean?

You'd be wrong

 

[gUt]

Mis tell me i'm not the only nerd who voted for my number 1 choice?

 

[Parra]

Or the other bloke either.

 

[Misanthrope]

Mis tell me i'm not the only nerd who voted for my number 1 choice?

So far

 

[gUt]

surprised by that but then again not really haha

 

[Red Bear]

struggling to get to 15 tbh

 

[Misanthrope]

struggling to get to 15 tbh

This surprises me. I'm struggling to keep it below 30-40. So many good villains out there.

 

[Apey]

I struggled to get 10 then I struggled to get 20 down to 15. But I think some mine were scraping the barrel.

 

[afinalsin666]

I'm struggling to get them out as well. Got a list, just gonna sit and think on it for a bit.

 

[nöyd]

i can only come up with a top 2, and even then it was down to a coin toss - just need time to think about it

 

[gUt]

About half of mine are going to be completely unknown to most of you. Don't worry about the "best" villains or best known. Just whoever has appealed to your sense of what makes a good character

 

[Red Bear]

Half of my problem is I cant remember the films I've seen. I used to have them on facebook but now my 'movie likes' seem to have disappeared :lol:

 

[gUt]

I included books as well. I almost included a couple of song villains as well but they didn't make the cut.

How's this for a song villain, from Tom Waits:

"Black Wings"

Take an eye for an eye
Take a tooth for a tooth
Just like they say in the Bible
Never leave a trace or forget a face
Of any man at the table
When the moon is a cold chiseled dagger
Sharp enough to draw blood from a stone
He rides through your dreams on a coach
And horses and the fence posts
In the midnight look like bones

Well they've stopped trying to hold him
With mortar, stone and chain
He broke out of every prison
Boots mount the staircase
The door is flung back open
He's not there for he has risen
He's not there for he has risen

Well he once killed a man with a guitar string
He's been seen at the table with kings
Well he once saved a baby from drowning
There are those who say beneath his coat there are wings
Some say they fear him
Others admire him
Because he steals his promise
One look in his eye
Everyone denies
Ever having met him
Ever having met him

He can turn himself into a stranger
Well they broke a lot of canes on his hide
he was born away in a cornfield
A fever beats in his head like a drum inside
Some say they fear him
Others admire him
Because he steals his promise
One look in his eye
Everyone denies
Ever having met him
Ever having met him

Didn't think of song villains. Where the Wild Roses Grow would make for a good one.
