Maybe it's just me but I think that the bad guys end up being cooler than the good guys in most movies. So who do all of you think are the coolest movie and game villians (or gray area good guys) are?
Movie: This one is a no brainer: DARTH VADER. Vader can kick anyone's ass. He's big, he's black, he's got Jame's Earl Jone's voice. He can choke somebody from across the room. He's a spiritual brother down with the Force and all that good shit. One time he massacred a whole village of sand people and STILL got laid. Vader is the only bad ass in the universe who can take a bloodbath and use it to get poontang. Fear Vader, for Vader takes crap from NOBODY. Games: There are different genres of games, so each has thier own baddass villian: Platformer: Motherbrain - A big huge Brain in a jar. It is smarter than you. That is scary. When they say "knowledge is power," it was the mother brain they were talking about. Motherbrain knows EVERYTHING. It knows what you're thinking. Do not try to fool it, becasue it knows. It knew you were going to say that. When they make that stupid ass Metroid movie they had best not fuck with the mother brain else dey be getting mah foots in dey ass. Fighting: Kintaro- Possibly the hardest fighting game boss ever crated. Back when Mortal Kombat was actually good, nobody kicked more ass then Kintaro. My greatest joy in life besides losing my virginity was when I first played as Kintaro on PS1 Mortal Kombat Trilogy. I wanted to kill myself because my life was only going to be downhill from there. I was right. Shooter: The Gommander from R-Type - Hands down, the Gommander was mean. Yes this is a shitty box art pic of him, but don't tell him that else he'll come to your house and kick your butt. I imagine the gommander likes to spend his days kicking hungry dogs and beating up old people. Do not taunt the Gommander. But by far the greatest Villian in the history of Videogames has to be: Kane Kane is by far the baddest dude who ever walked the Earth. Kane is so hardcore that I just let out a huge fart in celbration. Just look at him. He's bald, AND he has a beard. You can't get any meaner than that. Kane is so tough he can rip apart a phonebook with his nutsack, chug 37 beers without barfing, beat up a grizzly bear with his butcheecks, and don't piss him off or a squad of flame tanks will decemate your whole neighborhood. Kane will fuck you up, peroid, end of story, no ifs, ands, or butts about it, unless it's your butt getting kicked. Kane is the man. Beware of Kane.
Mortal Kombat Oh come on Shang Tsung is by far the most bad ass character in Mortal Kombat! How can he not be with the most memorable line from the MK movie,"YOUR SSSOUL IS MINE!" Oh I also found this site of bad ass villians in search of pics of Shang Tsung. http://crazymofo.com/
I'd have to say my top three for each are, (subject to change) Movie Seth and Ritchie Gecko (From Dusk till Dawn) Calrence Boddicker (Robocop) Kronen (Hellboy) Game Kefka (Final Fantasy VI) Luca Blight (Suikoden) Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII)
NOTHING can beat Chaos from the original Final Fantasy, NOTHING. And on the subject, also pretty kickass was the original Final Fantasy 'optional' uber-boss, the Warmech: (I couldn't find a bigger picture.)
An update to my first post As far as movie bad guys go, I still have to say T1000 And for videogames, I would have to say Melfice form Grandia II Coolest comic book bad guy, Juggernaut
Yeah, Warmech was pretty badass. As I remember it only appeared like 15% of the time, then proceeded to decimate your entire party.
