I wish I had not repped you recently. And I'll tell you why - I'd like to again. It is not often I laugh out loud on an internet forum. Thank you.

WoF has reminded me to mention the bad guy from Neil Gaiman's American Gods. I would name him, but I don't want to give away about five twists.

Also, for the cool/stylish factor, Satan from the movie of Constantine. That movie was shite, but he was awesome. Actually, Tilda Swinton was brilliant also, but she always is.

Mac Sirloin 06-14-2009 07:55 PM

Fuck yes movie Satan was awesome too.

I nominate Ali Al Saachez, mercenary and Magnificent Bastard extraordinaire.
http://i472.photobucket.com/albums/r...Al-Saachez.png

Okay, so he was in a hard time in his life, right? So he creates a war between the Kingdom of Azadistan and the annexed, ruined remains of Kurdistan, using poor, impoverished kids there as Child soldiers, encouraging them using their devout faith as God's Warriors. He even has them kill their own parents and suicide bomb places. However, the battle goes south and the Mobile Suits of the Kingdom roll on into their base and wipe out every child soldier, except for one named Soran. Ali is of course, nowhere to be found, having moved on to greener pastures.

Soran grows up and is selected by a special Paramilitary Organization called Celestial Being, the guys who build the Gundams, incredibly high-tech weapons that are years ahead of the world's militaries. Soran becomes a Gundam pilot, his faith in God shattered, and his will determined to end all conflict so nobody else ends up like him.

Ali, meanwhile, has become an ace pilot for the amoral Moralia PMC trust, a Mercenary army. And he and Soran, now under the code-name Setsuna, meet in battle once again. Setsuna is rightly enraged at Ali, and repeatedly singles him out and attempts to take his life. But Ali manages to hold Setsuna's highly-advanced Gundam at bay every time with this:
http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z...eu-09y812a.jpg
A cheap mass-produced machine. Eventually, the Four Gundams are threatened with destruction, and a shadowly client sends them reinforcements in the form of three other Gundams, piloted by three designer babies who are all amoral and vicious, only showing loyalty to each other as siblings. As things all go south and as Gundam technology is leaked to the masses, these three pilots go into hiding on an island.

Ali, meanwhile, has just killed a news reporter, who is the sister of a main character, after she was investigating Celestial Being. Understandably, this really pisses that guy off and pretty much ruins the remains of his life.

Anyway, through this Ali murders the head of the company that build the second set of Gundams, and through that approaches the three pilots while they're hiding out. He smiles and shoots one right through the chest, hijacks the Gundam, and kills the other guy in his Gundam. Later on he returns to kill off a main character before his machine is destroyed.

He returns four years later to destroy the entire Kingdom of Azadistan from the air, holds off the main characters several times, wipes the floor with everyone, sexually abuses the surviving designer baby sister whose brothers he killed, severely damages the cells of the main character through a radioactive bullet, and then beats the hell out of the brother of the guy he killed in the first season before he is finally shot between the eyes by that character.

In the final battle his opponent yells at Ali,
"Just who the hell are you?!"
Ali laughs and answers
"I'm just me!"

*shudder*

JigSaw, from the film "Saw". How is he so clever?
"Oh yes, there will be blood".

You know what, I think the exact same, I'm actually watching Saw III right now as I saw your post! xD

joshkrz 06-15-2009 03:47 AM

Lol.

Did anyone like Hannibal, from Silence of the Lambs. I think he has something about him that makes you like him instead of fear him. A bit like jigsaw.

BlackVenom 06-15-2009 06:06 AM

Never seen silence of the lambs before, I might go rent it out at a video store one day. But I just like Jigsaw from the Saw series because of how he plotted everything to fall into place, Even after his own demise things managed to fall together!

Wings of Fire 06-15-2009 06:21 AM

Now if we're talking about Magnificent Bastards.

Hannibal is great. Although the real bad guy of Silence of the Lambs was Buffalo Bill (who was pretty damn creepy himself). Buffalo Bill also amuses me because he's the same actor who plays the Captain from Monk...and its hard not to remember that whole dancing sequence in Silence of the Lambs...

Hannibal was kind of a mix between a good guy and a psychopathic killer. I believe his aid was inspired by the "help" Ted Bundy gave in finding the Green River Killer.

joshkrz 06-15-2009 08:51 AM

Ted Bundy...? He was a serial killer right?

And your right about Buffalo Bill, "Put the lotion in the basket" haha lol

The image I posted before reminded me of Hannibal (The second one I think), where that old guy is in the wheel chair. I haven't seen that In a while. Excuse my error.

ArtemisPanthar 06-15-2009 09:02 AM

Yes, Ted Bundy was a rather horrific serial killer who some believed killed upwards of 100 people (although serial killers tend to inflate their body count).

This is Buffalo Bill:

Your image confused me but you cleared that up :D that fellow looked familiar, however, who was he?

joshkrz 06-15-2009 09:08 AM

I can't remember... I'll look.

Ohhh that's right, he's from the Poltergeist, he's that really strange character who like tries to talk to the kid or something like that. He's called Kane.

Here he is again:
http://www.fuenf-filmfreunde.de/wp-c...06/10/kane.jpg

He may be from another film though.

Does anyone remember that police officer from Pet Cemetery? God, he was a nutter, so funny though.

AlexFili 06-15-2009 09:59 AM

The thing about horror movies, it's full of stupid heroes and heroines that are unbelievably naive and inept at just about everything except screaming. I don't want to watch some foolish person run away from this crazy super strong killing machine or whatever, it's one sided and totally lame.

I mean, the Smiley guy from Psycho moves at like 10-20mph or whatever, and it's supposed to be a human in a disguise? It makes no sense.

Sci-Fi Horror is a lot better. Alien and Pitch Black are my favs of that genre. Resident Evil is good too (But I hate the core games).

"Wake up Muttley, you're dreaming again! You're not Robin Hood and you're not Gunga Din! You're not a brave knight or a King who's been crowned, you're just plain old Muttley, the snickering hound!"

"Rocky and Bullwinkle" was also excellent.

your absolutely spot on there AlexFili. i always say they have had their 'common sense gland' removed.

they always seem to have a torch with them. and some scientist or clever bloke who works out the killer. also a number of friends to get chopped up. they actually have a lot of things, makes you wonder why they are so shit at stopping the killer, or atleast staying out of its way.

EDIT: brick top looks like a typical english gangster. class.

The blob thats not scary but wierd after that i didnt take a bath for a week

If someone tried what the nutjobs in the films do over here in reality, they'd be banged up before they could say "Kill kill kill, mam, mam, mam".

Hannibal Lecter.

Although it is open to debate...I think, I have never seen The Butterfly Effect, he just seems like an awesome character

MA 06-15-2009 11:36 AM

he's a brilliant actor, i know that much.

Hannibal Lecter is one of the originals.

joshkrz 06-15-2009 11:58 AM

He's in the Butterfly Effect?

Best viliian in any Spiderman film

OddjobAbe 06-15-2009 12:19 PM

I always preferred Mysterio from the comic. He had such a funny head.

Comic badguys? Well this is obvious.

And a special mention goes to Dr Gull in Alan Moore's From Hell.

OddjobAbe 06-15-2009 12:48 PM

I actually prefer him to the clowns from the film "Killer Clowns from Outer Space". But the Mr. Bungle clown beat them all. But we don't know if he's a villain or not. I think it might be from "A Cotton Candy Autopsy". I recognise it.
