Through my life I have watched countless films and have gathered what I can call a slightly successful collection of DVD’s. I have come across some characters in films that I can only call obviously evil, Darth Vader is one of them. However I sit there in some films and think to myself, “How the hell can they not think that they are evil!” A prime example of this is in Avatar, now I am not actually going to rip the film apart, it is one of my favourite films but I can’t begin to imagine that the group do not know that Stephen Lang’s character is evil. Unobtanium, don’t get me started on Unobtanium!

Now I am not trying to judge anyone’s acting ability I am simply trying to point out the stupidity of the supporting characters.
So I am giving you lot my top three most obviously evil characters in fictional media!
First on my list is a character so obviously evil that it makes me cringe every time that I watch the film.
Saruman from LOTR, OMG! I never read the books and nobody told me anything about the film, so when I went in to the cinema to see the film, all I needed to see was the gothic interior of the tower of Isengard and I knew instantly he was a bad guy, and the fact that he was played by Christopher Lee was also a huge give away! I mean this guy lives in a tower that even Dracula himself would look at it and say “Oh Hell no!” I mean he could have been a good guy for a long time and the fact that he is a wizard is a good quality also, but don’t be surprised when he turns and says Gandalf “Join the dark side!” This guy loves Sauron so much he copied the design for his house of him! Isengard and Barad-Dur, identical neighbouring houses!
Second is this list is in a game, Final Fantasy 10! Now for anyone who knows me very well will know that I love the final fantasy franchise, however I will say that after 10 the company got a bit slack and started spewing out rubbish games that I never got into, I mean final fantasy 12 was an overwhelming depressingly boring game, I mean the story was good but the two main characters Vaan and Penelo were so rubbish that if you took them out of the entire game I think that the remaining cast would have finished their quest a lot quicker now that there were less dead weight. And the battle system was a failure as well, and I have a lot to say about the newest disappointment FF13! I’m getting side tracked, back to obviously evil people.

| Waste of my valuable time!! |
Final Fantasy 10 was a great game and I have played it many times through, but one character stood out to me and it was Seymour. Seymour is sort of like an uber priest of a stupid religion called yevon. Everything about this guy screams evil. He has a robe loosely and carelessly tied at the waist, his hair is outrageously stupid and his voice I think is even more grating than Tidus’s; that’s saying a lot! During one part of the game he manages ‘Operation Mi’hen’ in which he and other fighters known as crusaders are trying to defeat a huge ungodly creature named Sin. Baring this in mind Sin is a creature that levelled the most technologically advance city in existence Zanarkand. He tries and fails majorly with conventional weapons, you know swords, guns and cannons, but here is the kicker he uses weapons that are strictly and specifically forbidden against the religion he is a priest to. When questioned about it he simply says something on the lines of “Pretend they weren’t there”. Normally it comes as a shock when the good guys find out the Seymour killed his own father, for power, and the reason he sent so many Crusaders out to their death was to fuel his own power when he tries to become the next major threat to the world. These guys are a bunch of retards!

Last but not least we have the penultimate obviously evil person Dr Victor Von Doom, from the Fantastic 4, now for this I am going to use the film and not the comics. The film was ok but when I watched it with an objective view not so long ago I noticed a lot of stuff that just purely annoyed me. However now is not the time for that maybe I will give my own personal review on that another time but for now Dr Doom!
For starters the guy is called DR VICTOR VON DOOM that’s the most evil name since General Adolf Diablos McStab-your-back-son, ok fair point people don’t judge a book by its cover, lets delve a little further into this character. Lets see slick backed hair, black suit white shirt no tie, menacing glare, snarky witty sarcastic short comments, bad attitude, no concern about others his side smirk and his… OH COME ON HE’S EVIL!

I love this fact that in the beginning the fantastic 4 and Dr Doom were all on the same spacecraft running experiments when they simultaneously got struck by a space cloud that gave them all powers. Not once did the fantastic 4 run tests on Dr Doom, not once, all it took was for Dr Doom to say, “I feel fine” and they believed him. Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic is supposed to be the smartest person on the planet ever, and he didn’t even think about it in depth. He is so smart that in the second film he is personally asked by the government to take down the silver surfer. Another true disappointment I have to say, The Silver Surfer is one of the only super people that could take superman down without the help of Kyrptonite, and they waste it on that!
Final Thoughts
I believe that the secret to finding out who is evil or not is just to ask them the question, “Are you evil?” Any hesitation on the answer and just assume that they are batting for the other team.
Now I’m going off to vent!
