Similar, but less...tidy. Yes, I think "tidy" is the word I want to use, there.Cool! Sounds like some straight up Discworld style stuff!
...tidy? As in...less clean? As in...incredibly messed up? OKAY-I am definitely buying this when I get money again!Similar, but less...tidy. Yes, I think "tidy" is the word I want to use, there.

Also, he's Gandalf. Who doesn't want Gandalf to win?I want Magneto to win. I can't speak for the comic book version of Magneto because I never really read them. I think the movie version of Magneto is more likable than the rest of the mutants or X-Men. It feels like he gets so close to having it all, but the rug is pulled out from under him when his fingertips brush victory. Poor Magneto.
It's even worse in the comics. At one point in time he was regressed to a child by Nanny and the Orphan Maker and Moira McTaggert messed with his mind. She essentially messed with him with some super science stuff to make him not evil. The problem being, he's not necessarily evil, just extreme in his methods and convictions. It didn't end well.I want Magneto to win. I can't speak for the comic book version of Magneto because I never really read them.

That is exactly how I feel about him, but I didn't want to say it in my OP because I only know the character from the movies and I figured he might be portrayed differently in the comic book stories. He does what he deems necessary to reach his goal while upholding high personal standards of what is wrong and right - and I don't see that as evil. But it isn't what most people necessarily perceive as good either.he's not necessarily evil, just extreme in his methods and convictions.
It is kind-of weird how a guy who is basically wizard Hitler is more interesting than the main character. Still love the books but if ol' Riddle won I could see it.Lex Luthor is basically Batman. He's an obsessive, reclusive billionaire with connections and gadgets out the wazoo fighting an alien invader so that he can provide for humanity with the Kryptonian technology that Superman selfishly keeps hidden in the Arctic fucking circle. So, yes, maybe he wants to turn a profit, but that's only evil if you view Superman as a Communist. That's the real lesson of Superman: you're all a bunch of commies.
For real, though: Voldemort. Fuck Harry. Just... just fuck that guy.
I actually came in to say Dr. Horrible...even though he technically won. And I wouldn't want Venom to win because like the Joker, he would be unpredictably evil. I don't mind when a villain wins every once in a while, but some of them would just be bad, bad, bad.Neat, sounds like a serious Doctor Horrible. Whom I also rooted for.
At times Venom, because Spiderman can be really hard to sympathize with a guy so damned annoying at times. Especially since even when Venom is actually doing good Spiderman still messed with him when he moved to San Fran. He is posessed by a crazy alien symbiote! Cut him some damned slack!
also this guy.
I feel the same way about Care Bears villains. Anyone who wants to kill those evil little bears is okay in my book.
Need I say more?
Nunnally disagreed. She didn't want any of what he was doing on her behalf, especially if it meant his death. Furthermore, all his major setbacks can be traced to her as well. If not for the "Nunnally factor," the first black rebellion would have won as well. Lelouche's revenge on Brittania would have been better and more quickly accomplished had Nunnally (man I'm getting tired of typing that ridiculous name) not survived the attack on their mother, with the "happy" end result of him standing astride the world like a behemoth - like the father he hated had before him.Lelouche DID win. He got everything he wanted, except to be with that girl from the school. I'd say he came out well ahead still.
If we assume his meeting with CC was not prevented by Nunally's death, I don't see what would otherwise prevent him from ascending to the throne by force and geass.Yeah, but would he have even bothered to try for revenge if Nunally hasn't lived? Or would have spent the rest of his life ripping of gangsters and fucking people over like he had been doing before meeting CC? Without Nunally, I really don't see him bothering to do any of it.
Wasn't his original motivation to do that BECAUSE of Nunally? Again, why would he do what he did without the thing that motivated him to start? Why wouldn't he use his Geass to control the criminal underworld or to become a leader of industry?If we assume his meeting with CC was not prevented by Nunally's death, I don't see what would otherwise prevent him from ascending to the throne by force and geass.
He often told himself, or others, that Nunally was his primary motivation, but it was clear she was just part of his motivation - the rest being revenge on his father and the destruction of Britannia. Had she died in childhood, the confrontation between his child self and Emperor Charles would have probably gone similarly, and he still would have been sent to Japan as hostage. The criminal underworld angle wouldn't be likely - he didn't obtain geass until events were already set in motion that made it far more natural to do what he did - co-opt a convenient rebel faction, turn it into his personal military, and exact his vengeance.Wasn't his original motivation to do that BECAUSE of Nunally? Again, why would he do what he did without the thing that motivated him to start? Why wouldn't he use his Geass to control the criminal underworld or to become a leader of industry?
Without the motivation, why would he even start?
The only thing I see mentioned about DeathNote is that Gas Bandit said it ended for him after the first season. The rest is about another show from what I can tell.BTW, thanks for turning the thread into a Death Note spoiler factory.
Jason Todd/Robin, wait never mind...I'm creating a spinoff thread: What heroes did you always want to see bitchslapped?
Yeah, it was more of a Code Geass spoiler factory.The only thing I see mentioned about DeathNote is that Gas Bandit said it ended for him after the first season. The rest is about another show from what I can tell.
Her original actress died? That's a real shame, she was fun. All I remember about her character reforming was in Space when the wave of goodness turned Zed and her human and then they tangoed. Power Rangers is weird sometimes.They did some stuff on the show when Bandora/Rita's actor died. Can't remember what it was, but it was implied in the US shows that she reformed a long time ago and had been helping a Ranger team since then.
Damn shame, she was a sure fun entertainer.She died during the Mystic Force season, so it was implied at points that Rita was the one who helped them or that she was one of the mystic helping them.
She played the Heavenly Archsaint Magiel/Mystic Mother. It was her final Toku role, and in her memory the producers of Power Rangers Mystic Force made her character a reformed Rita Repulsa.They did some stuff on the show when Bandora/Rita's actor died.

Not gonna lie, that is pretty cool.She played the Heavenly Archsaint Magiel/Mystic Mother. It was her final Toku role, and in her memory the producers of Power Rangers Mystic Force made her character a reformed Rita Repulsa.

Unfortunately, Raziel doesn'tKain, from Legacy of Kain.
Spoiler alert: He does.
You realize you're rooting for a Hitler parallel right?Sinestro. This guy is probably one of the evilest villains out there but is also one of the most inspirational. Did he take getting ousted from the lantern corps lying down? Fuck no, he pulled himself up by his space straps and made his own damn lantern ring from crazy yellow goodness! He also made his corps where what is usually named after the color of the ring, his corps is named after himself. That takes balls right there. As evil as maniacal as he is, a guy can't help but root for him some times. Especially when he punches Hal Jordan in the face.
In the words of James T. Kirk(paraphrased): We can respect a person while still finding them morally wrong.You realize you're rooting for a Hitler parallel right?
