Villain
Ten characters I am Extremely Normal about


Villain
I don't REALLY go super hard on obsessing about individual characters that much but:

Villain
10!


Villain
THE Robot!

Villain
Built by Nikola Tesla in the 1920s, powered by a nuclear reactor the size of a baseball, Atomic Robo has adventures across the twentieth century and beyond

Villain
If you peeled open my brain and rooted around for the coolest possible setting that is still recognizeably Earth it would probably look something like this

Villain
9!


Villain
Princess Kushana of Torumekia!

Villain
A dark mirror of the actual protagonist who realized the reality of being a princess in an imperial power as a little girl when her mom was driven mad by a poison meant for her, Kushana dedicated her life to revenge and became just SO fucking cool

Villain
8!


Villain
Commander Samuel Vimes of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch!

Villain
There's something to be said for a protagonist who looks into the darkness and sees the absolute worst humanity has to offer, and sees that same darkness in himself

Villain
And then says "No"

Villain
"I'm going to be good anyway"

Villain
"Fuck off"

Villain
7!


Villain
Marisa Kirisame and also these aren't in any particular order

Villain
The ordinary magician who achieved through months of continuous effort and experimentation what Reimu did through divine favor. But also a huge asshole

Villain
6!


Villain
Tycho Brahe from Diebuster

Villain
Not a character archetype I normally go for but I just felt like her arc in Diebuster had a lot of heart!

Villain
She got so tied up in her own personal goal of taking out her frustrations on the Fraternity that she lost sight of the actual measurable good she can do!

Villain
5!


Villain
Lyle Dylandy

Villain
I forgot why I liked 00 in the first place but watching it again is bringing it all back.

Villain
I cannot express how BAFFLED everyone was when this show was first coming out

Villain
And they killed off one of the central characters and then replaced him with his own twin brother

Villain
It felt like an incredible ass pull

Villain
But they actually went somewhere with it! Lyle wasn't just "Neil is still around!" he's actually a distinctively different character who has a whole character arc about escaping from his brother's shadow! Fuck!

Villain
THE ABSOLUTE MADLADS THEY PULLED IT OFF!

Villain
4!


Villain
Wei Shi Lindon!

Villain
He's a good boy!

Villain
Even if he makes a lot of questionable decisions in his mad desperate scramble for as much power as he can get his hands on

Villain
I think what makes Lindon still work for me in the later series when he's gotten pretty ridiculous was that, like

Villain
He's kind of defined by greed and hunger but it's not just for his own personal power

Villain
He doesn't just want to be strong, he wants things to be better for EVERYONE

Villain
He wants all his friends to ascend with him!

Villain
Yeah!

Villain
3!


Villain
Ahsoka Tano

Villain
I feel like she was the Main Character of Clone Wars almost more than Anakin was

Villain
She's a new character created for the story and so, unlike Anakin and Kenobi, her fate is totally unknown

Villain
It was easier to get invested and worried about her because anything could happen to her!

Villain
Whereas we know what happens to Anakin

Villain
he falls to the dark side and becomes Darth Vader

Villain
2!


Villain
It's Hornet!

Villain
I'm just

Villain
VERY excited for Silksong!

Villain
1!


Villain
Bai Lin!

Villain
No one said they couldn't be my own characters!

Villain
And I like her a lot

Villain
Thank you for your time

Villain
/bursts back in here I JUST WANT TO SAY

Villain
That it forever saddens me that the version of Kushana most people know is the movie version

Villain
which has very little to do with the manga version

Villain
Please read the manga!

Villain
It's really good and Kushana has ten times more nuance than the movie!

Villain
I get that the manga wasn't finished yet and they were just making shit up to fit the story in one movie but it's like

Villain
If they had only ever done one Lord of the Rings Movie

Villain
That gets a little bit into The Two Towers and then ends with Aragorn having a sword fight with Sauron to defeat him

Villain
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE
