Dontcha believe me??<br /><br />You are so right! You know who I think of for the villain that doesn't know they are? Elkanah Bent in North and South. He honestly loved serving his country but power, insecurity and a neurotic fear of being disrespected turned him into the classic villain!

LOL! But my husband does and when he read your comment he was like, Oh yeah! So I'm guessing he is completely on board with you about Ben Linus. LOL<br /><br />Alan Rickman! Heck yeah! He's up there with Christopher Walken when it comes to villains! Die Hard, Harry Potter, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves! I love him! And he's so funny, witty and sarcastic that you can't help but like him even while you're rooting for him to be offed!!Naima Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269175037270984886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-30681137347907161952010-05-11T19:00:57.489-04:002010-05-11T19:00:57.489-04:00You nailed that on the head with Roussard (I don&#...You nailed that on the head with Roussard (I don't know if that's how you spell it either! LOL!) in All the Queen's Men. In the beginning you just thought he was your average money-hungry, immorral villain. But then when you met his daughter he suddenly became so much more and I could even find myself understanding why he'd chosen the path he did. I can tell you, I wouldn't mind reforming him! Hee-hee!!<br /><br />Isn't Z's book good??!! I love him! He is soooo one of my favorites! Like Riddick, everyone sees him as dark-hearted, but he's not. He has serious issues. I guess when I think of Riddick I see him as the man who despises being a hero--even though that's what he turns out to be. But he fought that all the way to the end. I mean, didn't you think he was going to leave her on that planet at the end?? He had me guessing all the way up to when he decided to go back!Naima Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269175037270984886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-56953532044824318172010-05-11T18:55:52.611-04:002010-05-11T18:55:52.611-04:00Wynter, don't you just love Sue?? LOL! She is ...Wynter, don't you just love Sue?? LOL! She is hilarious! Especially on the "Madonna" episode! Hah!! I don't mind feeling sorry for the villain in the beginning either...but like you, when they die, I don't want to mourn them! I came out of "Training Day" wondering why did he have to die?? Couldn't they have just let him ride off into a Mexican sunset or something??

These would be your religious zealouts, and military jerks high on the power of rank. One that comes to mind is Rear Admiral Tucker in Suz Brockmann's Navy Seal books.Dalton Diazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05176463811948745241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-54000431416942742452010-05-11T09:11:22.152-04:002010-05-11T09:11:22.152-04:00My favorite villain-esque character of recent medi...My favorite villain-esque character of recent media is Ben Linus from <i>Lost.</i> He's not sexy but he's still dripping with charisma, he's smart and wiley and a fabulous liar, but at times incredibly vulnerable. His motivations are endless—power, duty, grief… I think the reason he's such a likable bad guy (if he is one, it's so hard to know on that show) is that no matter what he's doing, it's backed up by super-strong beliefs, beliefs telling him he's doing what's right. But he's not annoying or righteous, just a hard-working genius doing what he's sees as his job.<br /><br />I like villains in all forms, from the simple—like Kiefer Sutherland as Ace from <i>Stand By Me</i>—to the insanely complex—both of the fascinating, psychologically cracked MFs in <i>Silence of the Lambs.</i> Oh and of course, just about everyone Alan Rickman has ever played.Cara McKennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16654280974490334457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-71079118513698305132010-05-11T08:32:56.019-04:002010-05-11T08:32:56.019-04:00I'll admit I didn't view Riddick as a vill...I'll admit I didn't view Riddick as a villain and I swear it's not b/c of who played his character. He's sort of reminds me of Zsadist from the BDB series (Just read his story last week and yes, I'm playing major catch up)<br /><br />I liked Roussard (can't remember the spelling?) from Linda Howard's ATQM. He was a baddie but it was all b/c of his daughter. I dunno, he pulled at my heart strings b/c he wasn't black and white in the things he did. Ruthless, yes, but he still had a heart.Savannah Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923140305202250794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-69039354881968831962010-05-11T08:11:31.804-04:002010-05-11T08:11:31.804-04:00I looove Sue Sylvester, although I hate it when sh...I looove Sue Sylvester, although I hate it when she wins. I agree with Michelle. I want to feel sorry for the villain for his suffering - at first. Then I want to grow to hate him or her.Wynterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13611293420659353094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-295035878432187803.post-74165457711800669572010-05-11T07:23:22.008-04:002010-05-11T07:23:22.008-04:00I like the mad villains whose original motivation ...I like the mad villains whose original motivation was born out of something good or understandable before they became twisted and started to become actors of evil. You can almost have sympathy with them and see how they suffer. That way when they die at the end you know it's necessary, but are a bit sad for them. Twisted? Sure.Michelle Polarishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03717774498289472190noreply@blogger.com
