  • There are many types of villains in video games, but sadly many of them fall short on goals and writing. Let's take a look at all your favourite bosses

      Eggman works pretty well as basically an entertaining psychopath who just wants the whole world to be his playground. Hell, it plays into the Sonic and Mega Man comics crossover; Dr Wily ultimately really wants recognition for what he can do and to prove he's superior to Light, Eggman doesn't care what people think of him, he wants them to not be able to think at all.

    Initial video game Tails: "I'm Sonic but better at a younger age!"
    Sega: *Shoves a crapton of character flaws down Tails' throat so he can't outshine sonic.*
    Tails now: "Actually run around and do stuff for once? No thanks I need to work on my plane. Build a better robot army of my own since I keep allegedly getting smarter? Too much work, leave me alone."
    Repeat the introductions and shoving a crapton of character flaws down the throats of Knuckles and Shadow so they don't outshine Sonic and that's basically the formula to try and keep Sonic looking cool instead of actually making Sonic better. I'm sure they've done this again past Shadow as well but I don't really care to look further into it.

      Regardless, no. Flowey is definitely a villain, that's the whole point of his character. When he's restored to Asriel, he now understands why his actions are wrong, and then ceases to be an antagonist. He realizes "I don't want to be the bad guy". Up until that point though, he is a character that directly opposes the protagonist (you), there-for he is an antagonist, and a villain.

They are a PERFECT template to be expanded upon in any later installments or spinoffs, heck, even BOWSER gets SOMETHING in the RPG spinoffs like Mario RPG, Paper Mario, and Mario and Luigi. Dr Wily is a bit ABOVE simple, but hes SO WELL DONE in the comics and SOME of the spinoffs and sequels, especially the former.

    Fawful from the Mario and Luigi rpg series is probably what I consider a really great villian because he got to his world ending status BY HIMSELF that lasted for 6 years during the game trilogy. Anything that makes the villain put effort into getting their power from the start instead of just getting power because they're just the villain are very high into the "really good villains list". Fawful has development that lasted for 3 games and 6 years which I respect. Also he has a funny but wack personality.

    I think Epic mickey had some really good villains, they each had understandable motives
    like the clock tower from it's a small world, who went INSANE because he had to listen to the song over and over
    Petetronic who went haywire
    or animatronic Captain hook, who went mad with power
    but I can honestly say, The Blot is one of the greatest Disney villains ever, although it takes a closer look to see, he's an almalgimation of Mickey's flaws, his dark side
    He was created by Mickey's mischevious side, and showed how careless he could be (which is also why Epic mickey is the best representation ever)

      My favorite part of that game is that they _never_ compromise his character. They never try to make it like "we have to make Bowser nice for this plot to work!" nor do they ever try to justify why he's saving the world or do they go out of their way to explain "this is why he's gonna work with the GOOD guys!"
      From the moment the game starts to the moment the game ends, Bowser is all about himself and all of his actions either make sense to that end, or are so ridiculous that you don't even care. (See: Tower of Yikk where Bowser plays with a X-Ray machine for a couple hours for no given reason.)

      Monika is just retarded. Indie horror games have yet to be anything more than a bunch of cryptic meaningless "clues" thrown together and given to the internet to play with. Most of the time the "plot" isn't there, and the let the internet talk about it until there's a story. The other times it's buried so deep nobody even knows it exists until the internet dig through the pointless spooky details for countless wasted hours.

    I'm gonna level with you, Alax. "Simple" and "Godlike" are in no universe the two ends of a spectrum pertaining to motivation. "Sympathetic" somehow being 'inbetween' these two also just kind of. Doesn't make any sense to me, like you don't even really explain how it's 'inbetween' them, other than... these two qualities that have nothing to do with morality? Like, I just thinking putting it as a straight line misrepresents your point. I feel like what you're going for would be better accomplished by, like... a triangle? Where "Sympathetic" "Simple" and "Godlike" are the three points, with most villains finding themselves somewhere in the space between the three?

    • @runningoncylinders3829
      @runningoncylinders3829 Před 5 lety +38

      Their relation is whether people can understand them or not.
      Simple villains are easy because they have simple desires. They mostly lack morality.
      Sympathetic villains have more of a reason for their misdeeds, and we can weigh their morality with caution.
      Godlike villains are weird because we can't grasp their motivations. They'll either push morality or lack it.

      (Just to add to the above reply)
      Simple villains like any evil team Pokémon leader (Maxie/Archie, for example) clearly state why they want to do something, but stop once they learn it’s basically hell from there.
      Sympathetic villains like Flowey who state in a boss fight why they do bad. Flower was Asriel, and resented humans when he lost his soul.
      Godlike villains like Calamity Ganon, who can’t heccin speak so we don’t know why they want death.

    • @TheSegaKoolaid
      @TheSegaKoolaid Před 5 lety +1

      He doesn't even talk about any sympathetic villains except for barely mentioning some while Monika is talking. It just gets glossed over for the whole Monika skit which was honestly pretty unfunny. Like... was the joke including sympathetic villains into the discussion? That's what it seems like to me, but this shouldn't be the case when the antagonists (better suited for those of the sympathetic nature) actually CAN be related to. It just left me scratching my head and the end of the video. I actually said "That's it?" when it ended which is not a good thing.
      Also, I agree with your point of sympathetic not being well placed between the two other qualities, because it's a quality that can be applied to both, which he essentially did say but contradicted himself when saying that they're in a category of their own. Not all villains are ones you can sympathize with, it should not be a quality of it's own, just a trait that should be pertained to the villain it's applied to.

    Personally I think simple villains are necessary
    You can get pretty bored of villains that make you sympathetic, sometimes you just want a bad guy to beat you know? Some enemy where you don't find yourself asking whether or not it's right to fight them
    Not thrilled with godlike villains though, especially since they have a bad habit of being forced into games at the end, throwing away the interesting or fun villain's we've been fighting all along. Like Grima in FE:A or most of the final bosses in Sonic games after 3&Knuckles

    • @jackgarcia5926
      @jackgarcia5926 Před 5 lety +1

      FE villains have never been good, they are serviciable at best. Grima, and other all powerful entities like gods or even empires, are good at putting focus on the characters, rather than the villains themselves. And considering what happens in Awakening, id say that while Grima is not a good villian by itself, it is the catalyst for some very good moments and overall the main design of the plot with is pretty good IMO.
      I agree on the simple villians tough, all a villian actually needs to be good is to move the plot, and to be fun, performance driven characters. Fawful or Hades are still MUCH better than a lot of "serious villians"

      actually, skyward sword zelda was not the 1st zelda, Hylia was. also if you read the skyward sword manga included with the book, hyrule historia, you would know that skyward sword link is actually the 2nd chosen hero with the 1st chosen hero being a way more mature version of ocarina of time link with a red scarf who died when hylia sent every other human/hylian into the sky with the chunk of land that would eventually become skyloft. also the link from this manga was framed prior to the manga's events for some unexplained reason. the point is that skyward sword zelda and link were not the 1st incarnations of themselves but the 2nd incarnations. Alax was not wrong.

      pretty sure he meant demise reincarnating them
      which happened at the end of skyward sword
      also anything before skyward sword wasn't in a game so it wouldn't be related to *_video game villains_*

    My favourite simple villain has to be Ridley, he's like Bowser or Dedede but instead of just being a bully he's taken to the ultimate extreme where he's basically the Joe Chill of the Metroid series where his misdeeds unwittingly created the ultimate warrior. I also like him because of what a creepy idea it is that Ridley cannot die, or if he does destiny will intervene and revive him again. It makes him almost like a phantom who just haunts Samus' very existence.
    My favourite god villain is probably Hades from Kid Icarus Uprising mostly because he's just of a parody of the evil god trope. Instead of being a pure evil lord of darkness he acts more like just a troll who just takes pleasure in messing with the forces of good.
    And without a doubt my favourite sympathetic villain is Big Boss from Metal Gear Solid. The guy is so sympathetic most people don't even think of him as a villain anymore.

      i dont think i can see Ridley as akin to being like a phantom. he can totally die, as things are he is currently dead and has been dead since before Metroid Fusion. the whole X-copy does have a bit of the "destiny intervenes" coincidence thing though.
      the real bothersome part about Ridely is how good/fearsome of a commander he must be.
      the Space Pirates always clone/revive him when they can, they dont move on and find another commander. they dont ever try to have 2 of him at once(i mean they have cloned him to bring him back so you'd think they might have more than 1 clone at a time.)
      my main point about it being that they must be friggin useless when he is not alive at the time being.

      Ridley dies all the time, it's just that space tech means that when his body is recovered they'll be able to revive him.

      @@ArcRay20 Nah the Prime series shows they can totally function without Ridley where they treat him more like an anomaly who happens to be a great leader than the glue that keeps them together. They've technically never actually cloned him either. After he died in Metroid one they simply reconstructed him as Meta Ridley in the prime series where he went on to continue living until he does properly in Super Metroid slowly regaining his biological parts in preparation of that game. After Super Metroid it's the galactic federation that clones him and later the X parasites that copy his DNA but the pirates have never tried it.

    • @DrMadd
      @DrMadd Před 5 lety

      Arc Ray Just to be clear I don’t honestly think Ridley is constantly being revived by some supernatural force. But considering just how often he appears to die and miraculously is revived by cybernetics, cloning or parasites it sometimes feels like it.
