Rika_Furude 03/16/18 5:51:17 AM #1:	What are the most competent villains? Ones that succeed at the end of the story, or are playing the entire world like a fiddle. Basically they get shit done. like (ffxv spoilers) Ardyn. Saved the entire world pretty much single handedly, was cursed with immortality and after centuries of controlling himself, eventually he wanted only to destroy the Lucius line and have himself killed. Of which he accomplishes both effortlessly. --- http://www.imgur.com/oQHLBrx.jpg http://www.imgur.com/ah5IE8D.jpg http://www.imgur.com/USV84z9.jpg http://www.imgur.com/PSjlohO.jpg <cite>Rika_Furude posted [p:897902531] in Most hyper...

In the comic at least. I know the "disaster" he used in the movie to bring folks together was different but cant remember specifics Oh no I've read the comic a ton of times. In the movie, he uses the reactors he and Osterman built to essentially disintegrate huge sections of densely populated cities across the globe, simulating a coordinated attack by an angry Osterman lashing out at the pettiness of humanity. I didn't like it as much as the comic solution, but I understood why. The way the movie handled it is easier to fit into a movie and the teleportation of an inter dimensional being. He killed millions to save billions. He's the definition of a 'shades of grey' antagonist. He feels remorse for their deaths, he forces himself to witness his atrocity and recoils in the sight of it. Then, he fears its all for naught after Osterman says 'nothing ever changes'. Veidt was really good at what he did, but I dunno if he fits the classical villain trope. --- Suck less, Rock Moar Have I licked butt hole before?

wackyteen 03/16/18 6:40:10 AM #10:	Sheev Palpatine Personally conducted a war as the leader of both opposing sides to see which force would be more reliable for his take over. Secretly operated as a Sith Lord, sworn enemy of the Jedi, while directly working with the highest of Jedi Masters during said war. Uses winning force to wipe out the entire Jedi order and overthrow a system of government that had been around for 25000 years. And his only real mistake was miscalculating his apprentices feelings for his son --- The name is wackyteen* for a reason.
