Make that "one of those guys", I hate him too. Sephiroth is just so boring, he has no personality and I don't think he speaks another word after he gives that little speech after killing Aerith[footnote]Aerith's death is about as much of a spoiler as Darth Vader being Luke's dad.[/footnote]. I have no idea what people think is so cool about him.canadamus_prime said:
Is that true of Arleen Sorkin's Harley too, or just Tara Strong mimicking Arleen Sorkin?Artina89 said:
Arleen Sorkin is the original Harley from Batman The Animated Series and Batman Arkham Asylum.
Tara Strong took over the role for Arkham City and Arkham Origins.
Just curious.
I can completely understand Brooklyn accents getting on peoples' nerves.
Biotic-charged brofist, my fellow Vanguard.C F said:
I think the reason that that pathetic little wannabe wouldn't close to melee range was because he wasn't man enough to go toe-to-toe with me in melee. He saw footage of me killing Reaper Brutes and Cerberus ATLAS Mechs by repeatedly punching and headbutting them and thought, "I'm gonna stay the hell away from her."[footnote]Shepard is a woman, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong.[/footnote] If the game had let me have a sword, I'd have put it to damn good use.
The game lets you use a sword as a Vanguard in multiplayer. And it's pretty sweet.Storm Dragon said:
Otherwise, I share this sentiment, as SP use woulda been awesome.
I don't want to use a sword as Random Vanguard #1537, I want to use a sword as Commander Cassandra Motherfucking Shepard!Chaos Isaac said:
And yes, I did name her after the seer from Greek myth who was cursed by the gods to have all of her perfectly accurate visions of the future be ignored by everyone!
Ugh, thanks for reminding me of that one. Venom was always one of my favorite villains, and I knew something was wrong when they said Topher freakin' Grace was going to play Eddie Brock. Yes, 6'4, 230 lbs of solid muscle Eddie Brock was going to be played by a guy who looks like he might float away if a stiff breeze hits him. It all pretty much went downhill from there.Ieyke said:
I actually liked Lorgar's story. Think about it. His father(the emperor) basically says to Lorgar that all of his life's work(worship of the emperor) was for nothing. That kind of sadness can foster so pretty corruptible desires. The kind that can start a heresy.Ieyke said:
Lorgar's an idiot.Dies Irae said:
He was manipulated by his own minions.
Lorgar was one of his father's - The Emperor's generals. His father, who had made it his eternal mission to explicitly wipe out religion and bring the light of science to the galaxy, got very logically pissed off when he came to find his idiot son spreading religion of The Emperor being a god.
Wiping out religion was essentially the primary objective of their 200 year-long galaxy spanning crusade.
Lorgar was apparently too fucking dense to get the loudest and clearest message in the history of the galaxy.
So the Emperor told his dumbfuck son to knock that shit off because he wasn't a god, to stop wasting time, resources,and undoing progress, and to get back to work conquering the galaxy and spreading reason.
And then Lorgar got all mopey, and sad, and "WHY DOESN'T DADDY LOVE ME!??", and let his minions talk him into becoming enslaved by the Chaos Gods.
I straight up have a black hearted hatred for the Joker. Seriously, The only time the Joker was actually FUNNY, was when Jack Nicolson played him with Prince songs. Other then that, I hate the Joker. A psychopath painted like a clown. I hate clowns too.
Second would be villains that would be defeated in every single show. Seriously if you are defeated every time, change your fucking profession. examples: Team Rocket, Gargamel, whoever the leader of M.A.D. was in inspector gadget, Shredder, Kraig, Mumroth, skeletor. Granted a ton of them are completely awesome, but they suck as villains.

Ieyke said:Mr. Freeze is an AMAZING villain. That movie version is completely ridiculous dumb and silly, sure, but that just means you're looking at the wrong version of him. That whole movie is that same level of campy-stupid. What did you expect?Eamar said:
I know he seems to have a bit of a cult following, but I'm sorry, no. Just no.
To be fair though, superhero comics and their adaptations have produced far more "villains" that fit the bill for this thread than I can count, particularly if you go back a few years.
Go watch the Mr. Freeze episodes of Batman:The Animated Series. Epic stuff.
Mr. Freeze is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most tragic villains of all, and that originally comes from Batman TAS. Before the cartoon reinvented him he was just a random throwaway villain.
DC Animated Universe episodes (in chronological story order):
Heart Of Ice (Batman TAS)
Deep Freeze (Batman TAS)
Batman & Mr. Freeze:SubZero (movie)
Cold Comfort (The New Batman Adventures)
Meltdown (Batman Beyond)
The Arkham City version is great too, though he only plays a very brief part.
Ah memories of Mr. Freeze.
Anyway, I'm going to go with this guy right here
Everything about Madara annoys me at this point (although I could probably be classed as a masochist for forcing myself to keep reading this stuff). He is effectively a god-mode sue at this point (admittedly, this is unusual for the sue to be the villain) but he just has received power-up after power-up with no real connect to reality. Every damned time someone gets a one-up on him, he just gains a new power to escape and I am not even going to get into how there was no way he should have lived when he ended up with sand forced into his bloodstream. He is just a frustrating cockroach at this point who doesn't even have any goals or real motivations. I suppose you could go with the "whole mind control because the world is a horrible place," bit but Obito covered that (rather poorly IMHO but still covered it) and we don't have enough grounding with Madara's character to care. It's almost like Kishi is now the one writing fan fiction.
Also, I think a couple of people missed the point. This is about villains you dislike because they were bad at being threatening villains and came off more as jokes, not because they are threatening and hateful.
Edit: Aha! Fixed my spoiler box!
I'm going to weigh in on my hate for Kai Leng too. He's just that overly exaggerated emo assassin from the future with no special powers and can "beat" you and your highly trained team with nothing but a sword and his stupid plot invincibility. I mean c'mon, you can easily dispatch the best Spectre in the Mass Effect universe, right after running through a Geth infested space station, you can run into the hive of a technologically advanced alien species where they turn humans into jam and destroy the entire thing, and you can stand up against 2 reapers and kick the living hell out of them, but this guy? Oh, this guy beats you with a sword. Christ Bioware.
The Governor from The Walking Dead (TV), I like David Morrissey, and I was excited to see him portray a villain, but what we got was a psychopath with no real motive as to what he was doing, and everybody just seemed to hand him the leadership role for no apparent reason. What really annoyed me about his character was that he would accept some people into his town, and then outright kill others for no apparent reason.

Ladies and Gentlemen, cease your argument, I hold the trump card.
"What a horrifying Villain!" I hear you cry. "What fiendish capacities does this devilish foe hold?"
Well, you may be surprised to know that his primary ability is a pair of telescopic stilts which can extend to two hundred and fifty feet!
But that's not all! As if this foul extendable contraption was not enough, he is also known to carry... a gun!
In short, Stiltman is what can be found at the bottom of the barrel that you scraped off of the bottom of a bigger barrel. 0/10, would not defend world from again.
