If you had to choose a fictional villain...
« on: November 30, 2011, 01:09:17 PM »
...that was most like your personality, which would you choose?  Disney movie, Star Wars universe, whatever.  Gotta be a bad guy/gal, though.

Not something you're likely to see manifest itself externally with me, but the Joker. Probably Heath Ledger's latest interpretation.

I understand the whole "Some men just want to watch the world burn" mentality, even if I know it's wrong.  [tinfoil]

Alex Delarge from "A Clockwork Orange" might be another example.

There is a part of me that feels delight in violence and chaos. It does not rule me by any stretch of the imagination, but I sense it's presence within me, and I understand the motivations and feelings of those who do give themselves over to it.

As much as I might like to indulge fantasies of me being an ultra-violent type like Alex from "A Clockwork Orange", I would never be that outrageous. It would have to be a quieter villain. Maybe Pauli from "Goodfellas", Hyman Roth (really Meyer Lansky) from "Godfather II", or Nicholas Cage's character in "Lord of War".

If I could choose the villain I'd like to be, it would be a white Frank Lucas from "American Gangster". He was a gentleman with very good taste in clothing, homes and women, yet could turn on the violence like a switch if necessary. A man who can douse another with gasoline, set him afire, and put six rounds into him from a very sweet Colt while smoking a Cuban cigar is definitely a breed apart. ;)

Meh. The guy was just a simple Pictish barbarian chief. I'd have had his head on a pike in about five minutes. Now, the Lady on the other hand. Much more interesting. Sure, she's not as vicious as most of the ladies I've dated, but I'd definitely buy her a drink and introduce myself. Definite potential.

Hmmm . . . a fictional villain . . . so many good choices . . .

Fu Manchu
Emperor Ming
Marc DuQuesne
John Sunlight

Have to think about this a bit. (Wonder how many APS members can identify all four without Google.  ;)  )

Is it bad that I have a lot of empathy for both of those villains, too?

(Well, some iterations of Lex Luthor, at least.)
