@Jenali Yeah, it’s actually been a while since I’ve seen them too, (Vid-Angel, where have you gone?) but that was the one thing that always stood out to me. And YES to the Dark World. When he and Thor where on that ship thingy, and he kept making cracks… “Good job, Thor, you just decapitated your great-grandfather…” My mother and I quote that…[Read more]

@Jenali YES! Someone who shares my Loki appreciation! @Graciegirl Loki is definitely my favorite villain. I like villains who are kind of relatable, not just world power hungry freaks. The thing about Loki that is so intriguing is that in many ways, he’s more rootworthy than Thor. I wanted Loki to succeed more than Thor because of the ways he’d…[Read more]

@graciegirl My favorite villain, ummmm. You mean other than Loki? 😛
Loki is one of my favorites, the reasons he does what he does are just so complicated! And the interaction between him and Thor, so great.
What I think makes villains interesting is the reason why they do what they do. The more deep the reasoning is, the more memorable the…[Read more] -

@graciegirl I have read the other books, but the first one definitely has the best story line. However, I think my favorite is the second one, just because of the pirates. 😛 And I didn’t like the third as much…the ending, *sighs* I liked Mott; besides Sage, he was my favorite character.
Oh yes. Never met anyone quite as snarky as him. 😛 -

@graciegirl Need I say who my favorite villain is?
I also like Luigi Vampa. His backstory is gripping and tragic, though he’s not technically a villain.
Er…Ooh! I can’t remember the guy’s name, but the villain in K.M.Wieland’s Dreamlander is really good. He’s an excellent foil character to the MC plus a very interesting character for his own…[Read more]

@graciegirl Yes; you can definitely have characters who initially fails a character arc but later achieves it. We’ll actually be publishing an article sometime next month by @sierra-r that will be touching on how to do that effectively. 🙂

@that_writer_girl_99 MORIARTY!!! YESSSS!!! I can’t believe I forgot about him. He is the best. Also, Charles Muntz from Up. He’s dedicated head to toe in the purpose of clearing his name, but he has a soft spot for his dogs. I loved the fact that he didn’t start out as…[Read more]

@graciegirl Some of the most interesting villains (and the most dangerous) are the ones who honestly believe what they are doing is right and they are willing to sacrifice for their convictions. A villain who is off for revenge is all very well. A villain who is fighting for something he loves will be even more dedicated. Plus it is heartbreaking…[Read more]

Um… Okay. Thinking.
Luke Castellan from Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson sereies–Luke is ruthless, but he’s also a devious little trickster. He had a believable motive, and his character developed well over time.
Paragor from Wayne Thomas Battson’s Door Within series: Paragor is just plain scary. He also has a backstory that reflects the fall…[Read more]

@graciegirl The way I see it, there are three different approaches you can take with villains: the foil approach, the tempter approach, and the testing ground approach. The foil approach is basically what you mentioned above: make the villain a mirror of the protagonist, or sharing similar qualities to the protagonist. Another way of putting it is…[Read more]

@graciegirl Hmm…villains. *que maniacal laugh*
@corissa-maiden-of-praise Umm…didn’t @hope write the Shadows of Hersweald? 😛
Anyway, my favorite villains are the following.
Bevin Conner from the False Prince: He has a calm demeanor and is very cunning, and will do anything to get what he wants. He doesn’t like to get his hands dirty. Also,…[Read more] - Load More
