Alien and unrelatable villains can be awesome. Gher Send a noteboard - 24/12/2009 07:45:15 PM
What makes a villain a villain? Human qualities? Lack of? I'm curious to know. Should they have redeeming qualities? Should they just be completely sinister?


But they're much harder to do.

Villains like the Joker from the Dark Knight, or even Moridin from WoT.

That makes me enjoy a story more. Jaimie in the Song of Ice and Fire series was a great example. *NM* Tashmere - 30/12/2009 03:44:23 AM 213 Views
