This ought to be fun and seperate the men from the boys in regards to the last option.
A fun game for Sunday after this weird week, inspired by a crazy ski masked rapper and a livestream I watched yesterday
I'll put 3 categories of villain for you to choose from, and also note I said favourite not greatest so you can't hide behind killcount, effectiveness or effect they still had on society now. In rising spiciness, the choices are:
Favourite gaming villain
Favourite media villain so can be anime or western media
Favourite historical villain
And since I suggested it I'll go first:
Gaming villain: Kane from C&C franchise, he was a mastermind with style and in the 3rd game played EVERYONE to win in the end
Media Villain: Demiurge from Overlord series, despite putting himself as number 2 behind the MC, the actual mastermind of the series, from 'happy farms' to his 'majestic weapon', you want evil look this guy up
Historical villain: I could be a wuss and say Vlad the Impaler or someone similar but let's go with someone very spicy, Shiro Ishii. Why him? Because after ALL the atrocities he committed for his 'scientific experiments' in Unit 731, he not only got away with it after the war but got military medals for it, pardoned and paid $200k by the Americans in exchange for his research and is responsible for a lot of the true vaccines we use today.
So anyone want to play?
Gaming: The C-Consciousness from STALKER. Kind of terrifying when you think about the possibilities.
Media: For fun, let's say Senor Chang in Community. A classic devious little weasel.
Historical: Napoleon. There's just enough to describe him as more villain than hero or anti-hero, but you can't help but admire his skill and genius. Efficient, thorough, effective, and managed to ruffle so many feathers from so many nations. I'd have to bet that Thrawn was almost certainly inspired by, or loosely based on Napoleon.
HA GAAAAYYYY! (sorry I had to, I really had to lol)
Napoleon was good enough we named an entire era after him so he definitely was recognised, great picks
