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 villain: Bob Page from the Deus Ex series. He is a deeply, deeply flawed man, egotistical, vicious, a true megalomaniac. But he is, in fact, a super genius. He set up a series of events from a young age that came very close to him being functionally immortal and a lower-case-g god. But I can never forgive him for what he did to Megan Reed.
Media villain: Professor Moriarty. Well-known and respected educator who runs the entirety of European organized crime, both for his own profit and to make sure it doesn't get too out of hand. Would have gotten away with it, if it wasn't for that meddling autistic dope fiend Holmes.
Historical villain: Lenin. Remove him, and the 20th Century has one spasm of war and is quiet. Fewer famines, fewer deaths, and fewer teenage communists.
Very interesting picks and I have to ask although it went downhill after season 2 what did you think of Sherlock's take on Moriarty?
I understand your hatred for Lenin but I would raise you Woodrow Wilson, because without him, no Lenin rise to power, no commies in general, no Nazis and possibly no race movement as he's the guy that brough racism back on a federal level!
