I can't seem to enjoy ANYTHING.

 

Whatever I watch. SOMETHING always ruins it. I'm in TEARS for Light's sake.

 

Competent villain. I just want a competent villain.

Can I see a picture first??

 

 

Don't be a **** chuckles.

 

It's ok Spice, I'm sure there are books out there that you can enjoy. I read some good recomendations in the Recomendation thread, try those out first.

It's films and games that I need. I'm a film student after all. After hours of sitting through boring arthouse films, I want a good villain in a story when I get home. I hate the feeling of wanting to watch something but not knowing what.

 

For instance, I just saw season 1 of Once Upon A Time. but it was ruined because Rumplestiltskin turned out to NOT be a villain! Yet he outsnarted everyone else. It's pissed me off something awful and made me snap.

dude no offence but you are one weird guy

He's Tainted :P He should rank above any Shadowie imo.

 

As for game suggestion: Final Fantasy VI. It's old but you can easily run it on an emulator on your PC/Mac. The main villian, Kefka, wins at the end. Leaving a bittersweet ending.

Why? Because I happen to find villains to be the most underrepresented thing in the history of media?

 

I like battles between good and evil. I like the evil side to provide a CHALLENGE. Not fight amongst themselves or fall prey to Ta'veren garbage like in WOT (though the villains in WOT are still my fav characters)

I've played and love FF6 :3

Final fantasy games in general have pretty good villains. VII and IX are both really good.

 

I have to assume that you've read/watched LotR. If not, go do so. What do you think of the evil side in that?

I find LOTR really boring. Saruman is the best character in it from team evil. but he's still not very interesting

How about Star Wars? Ignoring the prequels, of course.

Star Wars was... ok. I could never really lose myself in the world though

Have you read Stephen King's Dark Tower series? One of the best ending I've ever read, imo.

Books aren't a problem. I have loads of books to read. What I need are movies and stuff

God, people keep laying into me for not liking the Battl of Dunwai Wells. It's getting REALLY aggravating and annoying at this point!

 

Sorry, just wanted to vent

An underrated movie with a good villain is Arlington Road with Jeff Bridges and Tim Robbins. I rather enjoyed it, but I also found the ending distrubing. It left me pondering it for several days.

Have you seen Sleuth?  Both characters are somewhat evil. A brilliant piece of work.

 

The original, with Michael Caine and Laurence Olivier

Michael Caine was also in the re-make!

Never actually seen it, but try Dexter, from what I've heard, I think you'd like it.

 

Or just watch the Hannibal movies lol.
