>Villain is just an asshole
>>150987512These are the best kind
>>150987512it feels really good, in the moment, to just pay evil to whatever you don't like.I can easily imagine someone just getting into a chain of doing that again and again, each time to cover the resentment
>>150987512based
>>150987538Came here to say this, psychos who do it because its fun are the best villains
>>150987512>But I cured your autism!
>>150987512
>>150987704This is what a villain should be, someone who just fucking hates the hero and wants them to feel pain. So many writers get bogged down with the motive or the backstory when the deeds are what matter.
>>150987704That last part is followed by him blowing up the baby's grave, btw.
>>150987512Every good story needs that one guy who just lives purely for troublemaking; no grand backstory, no justifications, just 100% pure mayhem
For me? It’s “villains who had a shit life but don’t care and continue to do evil shit.”
>>150987605Like Palpatine?
>>150988373Ian McDiarmid is consistently the best part of every thing he's in even when said thing is garbage
>>150988317I really hate the 2010s fad of bringing back forgotten 90s characters to slaughter them.
>>150987512Fun fact: Aquaman was the first superhero to have a baby during publication.And that baby was murdered not long after by Black Manta.Aquaman, just before the baby killing, was the first superhero to get married on panel. And after this would become the first superhero to get divorced.
>>150988373Absolutelt, sheev is one of the best star wars character alongside grevious
>>150988358This should be handled with trepidation, it's one thing to have a tragedy that gets embraced as beneficial, but a villain warped by very realistic trauma only to get spat on and denied any sympathy is tactless
>>150988436The phrase "somehow Palpatine returned" was the best thing about that "movie". I don't care that didn't make sense, he was entertaining and I was forced to see it by my family.
>>150988507same.
>>150988992TROS Didnt even do that right with how barely papa palpatine is in the movie. Hell disney was also so retarded about their "hurr durr no spoilers" that it only took until this year for a lego of clone sheev from episode 9 to get made and he still hasnt gotten an action figure based off that design yet either
>>150988670
>>150987605Judge Death isn't a villain.
>>150988507Oh that trend is way older than that. Geoff Johns was doing it in 2007
>>150989975Even in the 90s
>>150990250A number of late 90s Marvel books in the Heroes Return era were doing this all the time, it's not just a Johns thing or a DC thing.
>>150988670>not longActually 13 years irl. Aquaman was canceled and went back to being a backup in Adventure Comics then the Death of a prince storyline brought the solo back. Believe it or not, Black Manta first appeared in Filmation's Aquaman cartoon and after it had been off air a few years people were nostalgic for his return. This prompted DC to bring back the title which put pressure on the writer to make a big impression on readers.
>>150989713Wasn't Palpatine's return hinted at in fucking Fortnite or something too? I remember hearing something like that and tuned out of the conversation immediately.
>>150990532Yes, the announcement he makes to the galaxy of his return isnt even in the movie but in fortnite instead
>>150987512Has any other villain killed the child of the superhero he opposed?
>>150989951Based and death-pilled
>>150991099the Joker if you want to count adopted children
>>150991099Sabretooth.Norman Osborn, probably.
>>150987512He can't be that bad?
>>150987512Best kind
>>150987704Dudes got one joke but goddamn does it work
>>150992154I love this panel. Same memeability as pic related
>>150987605I came here to say Judge Death. I like how he has character at times and at other times is just an el sketeton man.
>>150987512>villain has autism
>>150993235That was before or after that?
