Who's your favorite mecha antagonist?
>>22948794Dilandau from Escaflowne. He makes for a unique antagonist in that he is clearly an inexperienced, rash young officer (unlike the usual big bads like Darth Vader or Char who are supposed to come off as hypercompetent generals), but still cunning and spiteful and very dangerous.
Ribbons. No other mecha antagonist has had me calling them a bastard so often.
It's hard to blame him losing it even if he was kind of an idiot, dude just wanted help, digged too far and learned he wasn't even a real person.

>>22948794For me it's Chief from ACV even if he's a bit of a non-characterHe's literally the Judge from Blood Meridian but with with less pointless edge
Bask.
You posted him. No other antagonist is as much of a disappointment as Char. He's genuinely tragic to me. Just such a waste. I want to love him and hate that I have to hate him.
>>22948897I’d argue he’s more an anti-hero. He’s doing good, it’s just it doesn’t look like good to anyone else because only he knows the truth of reality.
>>22949061Antagonist is relational, an antagonist is not necessary a villain, fyi
Them.
>>22949655I kinda like how more the conflict worsen, more they becomes humanized. Aphrodia goes from a raging commander to an utterly broken person, Gatler goes from Gihren-lite to a very melancholic man who genuinely love Aphrodia (he doesn't declear his utter defeat when he lost, he declear it when Aphrodia killed herself)
>>22948794I appreciate Viscount Pygman's loose cannon personality and overpowered magic, but Count Brocken is a bit more... devious.
