Claire isn't a villain, he's more of an anti-hero, at least in that case. Sure, he killed lots of folks rather brutally, but generally speaking they had it coming. Unless you're also referring to the light novels, with which I am not familiar.infinity_turtles said:Ladd Russo and Claire Stanfield aka The Rail Tracer, both from Baccano!, are my favorite sort of villains, and I always root for characters like them.
OT: The Galactic Empire. Seriously ***** about "high human culture" all you want, but humans are the only ones who ever do anything in that universe, with an alien occasionally thrown in to make poeple forget that.
Plus, part of me feels like Alderaan kind of had it coming. They seem to me like the elf race from every high fantasy work ever that acts like it's so much better than everyone else, and there not being an Alderaan anymore goes to show the galaxy how untrue that is. Kind of like how destroying the Death star showed the Empire to be vincible. I also really disliked the republic, which brings me to villain number 2...
Every faction ever named "The Confederacy", largely because I'm one of the increasingly few people who know what a Confederacy actually is and want one. The Confederacy of Independant Systems, for example, because I dislike the Republic and think the Jedi needed to have the smug blasted out of them and their BS ideas about what constitutes freedom (some Senator from Alderaan should have no say in the affairs of Corulag) ground under the metal heels of the Confederacy's droid armies. If you want a modern example of a Confederacy, the European Union is a good place to start.
