Poll: Dark Lords

[veloper]

The overlord, because I'm the one skillfully controlling him.

Palpatine is downright pathetic in the prequels. Sad sad sad.
Sauron is just a red eyeball fixed on a tower.
Arthos is a pathetic emo boy.
Big Brother isn't even a man. He's a poster the party likes to advertise with.

 

[zauxz]

Its Arthas, not arthus.

And he is from Wc 3 : the frozen throne, not wow.

I voted him. I loved how his cause changed from "ill do anything, sacrifice anything to save my people" to "ahh screw it."

 

[Abedeus]

The Brain.

He's so evil, he tricked aliens into thinking he was the ruler of Earth.

 

[shroomie]

How do these people count as Lords exactly, I haven't seen any of them engage in political debate in the House of Lords. If I had to pick one, it would be Number 1 from the cult 60's T.V. series 'The Prisoner'

 

[Dys]

Umm, big brother is conceptual, he is described as not actually being alive so he would be rather hard to hang around with. Also as he is a fictional character in a story (ie he is fictional within the story), he can be somewhat difficult to class as good/evil etc.

 

[Jamous]

Sauron.

He was a GOD's second in command for gods sake.

If you didn't know that, read the Silmarillion

Wrong. That was MORGOTH. I think.

I think you'll find Morgoth (originally Melkor) WAS a god and Sauron was his luitenante or whatever.

I always thought that 'God' was Eru in the LOTR universe. But yeah, I can see what you mean.

 

[Jamous]

Sauron.

He was a GOD's second in command for gods sake.

If you didn't know that, read the Silmarillion

Wrong. That was MORGOTH. I think.

Hah. Morgoth was a god who was pretty evil, so he defected and started up the whole orc wars thing, Sauron (the lord of pain(i think)) was his second in command.

I always looked at Eru as being 'God' though. And then Melkor/Morgoth as his second in command.

 

[Latinidiot]

to be a real evil guy, you should not think you're doing something evil. Sauron knows. as does Palpatine. but Big Brother is so intensly evil without being supernatural that no one can beat him in evilness.

 

[Soxafloppin]

I voted for the 'Dorf.

 

[Mr Cwtchy]

I would choose Morgoth(Melkor), simply because he created hate itself. And also once commanded an army of thousands of orcs, evil men, dragons, Balrogs and demi-gods(Sauron was one). It took all the Valar(Gods) to take him down.

But since he's not an option, I'll go for Sauron.

Reasons:

1.He basically became the concept for Dark Lords in every fantasy/sci fi franchise.
2.Killed both the King of the Noldor, Gil Galad, and the King of Arnor and Gondor, Elendil.
3.Has a badass suit of armour.
4.Has a mace that can K.O. dozens of warriors at once.
5.Using the language he created causes fear in the hearts of those who hear it.
6.His lieutenants are immortal, and are themselves badass.

That's just my point of view. Others may differ.

How can Revan be a Darth Vader wannabe when he came first by 4000 years?

Because he is just that good!

 

[SLy AsymMetrY]

Sauron.

HIS name, and even the place where he dwells are not to be said allowed.
HIS mere presence fouls the landscape around him.
HIS armies are huge.
HIS followers fear and worship him as a god.
HE is a symbol of absolute power and can corrupt anyone or anything he comes into contact with.

So much of the evil that occurred in Middle-Earth can be linked to Sauron's corruptive influence. Before, he reached M-E, Sauron had already been involved in the destruction of an entire race (Numenor). On arrival, he immediately sets a plan in motion to corrupt every human, dwarf and elf on M-E. He 'gifts' them with the knowledge of how to create powerful magical rings, thus allowing them to create the instruments of their own destruction!

HE is just evil personified.

 

[GeoPB]

I'm sorry, but Sauron is undoubtably the most badass and Dark of all these, quite frankly, pussy lords. No more to it!

 

[SLy AsymMetrY]

Revan is a Vader wannabe, Palpatine is an old corpse, Sauron gets his power from a ring, and Ganondorf just cant take a hint.

Darth Vader.

Revan is a Vader wannabe, Palpatine is an old corpse, Sauron gets his power from a ring, and Ganondorf just cant take a hint.

I didn't put Darth Vader becasue, technically, he's not what I consider a "Dark Lord," mainly for the facts that A. he's not the highest authority in his domain (that would be Palpatine) and B. he is eventually redeemed.

Sauron didn't get his power FROM a ring. He put a large part of his power INTO The Ring so he could control the other races of middle-earth. Even without it, his powers were more than a match for anyone on the planet!

 

[Scarecrow38]

Well it was close between Sauron and Palpatine. What made me pick the Emperor was that he killed Samuel L jackson. If you can do that.... the sky's the limit for evil.

Arthas doesn't even deserve a place in this poll, wait 6 months and you'll have bunches of teenagers ***** slapping him around his castle and taking his clothes every day.

 

[BizzaroJoeIV]

Other. The Olsen Twins

 

[Dragon Zero]

All Hail the Overlord! Leader of the Fire starters! Exploder of Melvin underbelly!

Thats about as far into the game as I got but I like a Dark Lord that does not take himself too seriously, to me thats more devilous. Plus his minions are more likeable and you have to love a jester that takes abuse like what I did to him.

I don't really think that Big Brother is a Dark Lord because most of the time a Dark Lord has some super/unnatural ablities that set him apart from other dictators.

 

[ollathir]

Voted Sauron should have gone with "Other"- Melkor, from The Silmarillion Tales. Sauron and the Balrogs were his bitches.

 

[the_unseen]

Where's slaanesh from warhammer 40k? Like with all the demonettes and the weapons of choice shoot words which are so traumatic for the person on the receiving end that it can kill them! See, words can hurt!

 

[GoldenRaz]

Lord Voldemort.

A man so scary that even when he's dead people are so scared of him that they dare not utter his name.
They barely dare to talk about him at all, come to think of it.
