• What makes a villain in fiction special to you?
    33 replies, posted
A villain that actually has a decent reason for being messed up, one where either I can relate with them, or at least feel a little sorry for them. Also villains where you go "you know what, I agree with you a little, your just going about it the wrong way"
A villain who is written to tickle the part of our brain that deals with the morally grey area.
Any villain that is developed in a way that makes you love to hate them.
This may sound kind of odd: but I think the best villain is one that you [i]can't[/i] love. The example I always use is: [t]http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/7/72/FF6_Kefkaart.jpg[/t] [url=http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Kefka_Palazzo]Kefka Palazzo[/url] from Final Fantasy VI. He was a complete psychopath, he was truly the type of man who'd set the world on fire just to watch it burn, and what's more: he actually did. Not to mention [url=http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/9/9d/KefkaLaugh.ogg]that laugh.[/url] He was truly a despicable and evil person, and that's what makes me think he was one of, if not the best villain ever.
