Cheering for the Enemy

[SnowCold]

King fucking Dedede
The Wario bros.
GLaDOS (like everyone and their dog)
Team rocket (as a kid) (the anime, not games)
Mrs coulters (but not her creepy monkey)

Real or not, there's no way Light, Misa, Mikami and Takeda could've written that many names down combined.
I didn't know that. I kind of thought that though. I recently learned that if you misspell a persons name four times accidentally then they're permanently immune to the Death Note. But if you purposely misspell a persons name four times then you'll die. Never effects the story but it's a weird rule.

You must have watched the series. I read the manga and at the end of each it had a section on rules of the deathnote. Heaps on meaningless ones, but some really mattered to the story.

Yeah, I watched the anime. After you mentioned the thing about it never running out of pages, I did a search and I found all the rules. Like, the Death Note won't effect you if you're over 124 years old. Never effects the story, but whatever.

The Joker, and Heroes' Sylar (oops, sorry, Gabriel Gray). Actually, he lives up to his name, he is more grey than totally evil. Sort of living in the grey area between good and bad. At least, until the end of Volume 3 (despite what happened with Elle...).

 

[Dudemeister]

I watched the first season of heroes with a few friends, and I really wanted a couple characters to go down in flames. (Ok all of them except for the cop, and the Japanese guy who became/becomes a samurai)

I wanted Sylar to kill everyone except Hiro.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Was the Empire really so bad? Social order, intense organization, neato geometric ships. Did you know Emperor Palpatine was a huge supporter of the arts?

stupid rebels.

agreed, damn rebel scum

 

[Calax]

Alma has always been a kind of "reap what you sow" type of thing to me. Fettel I wanted dead because he killed my partner and tried to kill me. Then he had the GALL to kill/eat the ONLY person who was truly innocent in the entire game (Alice Wade).

 

[LegionSeere]

This isn't a game but for those who had to read Shakespear's Othello in high school me and my friends were always rooting for Iago and hoping he'd win in the end just cause he was so good at being an evil bastard and Othello and his ***** wife Desdamona were to lovey dovey for our liking

 

[LegionSeere]

Also I forgot to mention Brotherhood of Nod, especially in C&C 3. It's just so easy to sympathise with their hatred of GDI considering all the well off and rich people get to live in the nice tiberium free blue zones while the poor and down trodden get to live in yellow zone shit holes in C&C3 (I loved that part of the story)

Potential spoilers ahead:

The only thing is the story kinda shat itself when they brought in the Scrin and had the Brotherhood sacrificing millions of their soldiers just so the inner circle could cruise the universe

 

[Dirty Apple]

To this day I scream to whoever will listen that Darth Maul got punked. I realize that eventually he would of had to lose, but did they have to kill him in such a ridiculous way. Darth Maul, you were cut down in your prime by script writers who didn't recognize what they had. You are sorely missed.

 

[conceptual]

the scrin from C&C 3. They come to earth to take all the tiberium (which the sane peeps don't want anyway) and they get shot out of the sky (space?) by a giant lazer. then they invade. I mean, GDI and the scrin are both in it for the same thing, the removal of all tiberium from the earth. seriously guys, get along.

Oh come on. NOD is going around spreading a toxic planet-consuming crystal. GDI is working their asses off trying to get rid of the tiberium so more people can live in blue zones.

 

[WolfThomas]

The main problem is that he wanted to do it with a nuke in the form of the modified FEV.

So what? Would anyone really die that mattered?

Everyone, its stated in Fallout 2 that all of humanity has mutated ever so slightly due to FEV and radiation, except for Enclave and those still in Vaults. President Eden knows this or is ignorant.

So yeah everyone in Washington, then the world (if it spreads).

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

i always wished Gargamel would destroy the Smurfs

I just wanted to say that you have one of the most awesome avatars I've ever seen. Sechs is cool.

Anyway, I like it when the enigmatic villain character actually SUCCEEDS in his mission. Kefka, Vergil from DMC3 (Hey, he was on top of everything for a little while), etc.

I guess if I had to pick one bad guy to root for from a game, I'd say Elyon from Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter or Vergil from DMC3. They're both just so cool...

If it was somebody from a manga, I'd pick Alucard (Hellsing), Zekka (Battle Angel Alita) or Dio Brando (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.)

As I said I can't totally support Nod for reasons such as trying to turn everyone into mutants and killing millions so Kane and his buddies can go to space. I gotta say I don't like Kane as much as I used to with that plot direction.

I remember in Tiberian sun there was a few missions where you got those mutant freaks as soldiers for free and I always used them as cannon fodder whether I was GDI or Nod and couldn't be happier when they killed off Umagon and Tratos in Firestorm

I just like the Nod militants point of view that GDI are elitist ass holes who need a big old tiberium fueled fuck you attack into there pristine blue zones for the upper crust of society, the tiberium induced mutation and cyborg programs and space travel can piss off though lol.

 

[KapnKerfuffle]

I'm playing Age of Wonders and I just can't root for the Keepers over the Cult of Storms.

The Keepers are the goodie-two-shoes elves who want to make peace with the humans; The humans who charge into the nice little fabled elven land, kill the elven king, and spread like a disease. I think the Cult of Storms is totally justified in wanting to wipe out the human savages and resurrecting their king.

I think this feeling comes from my sentiment that the real world is too overpopulated with clawing, bickering, savage humans too.

 

[Lord RPGs]

I've always felt somewhat sorry for Goombas, and Space Pirates. Goombas, because if they don't get a grim fate of being having their guts splattered on a fat plumber's boot, they'll inevitably fall to their doom.

Space Pirates? They just want to do what all Pirates want to do - Pillage, destroy, and then possibly take over all existance using various mutagenic substances and bio-forms. But no, Samus shows up every single time and somehow mops the floor with them. One person killing an entire planet/mine/army of Space Pirates? Mainly because they left save stations about, and kept those stupid health/missle pick-ups that they couldn't even use, darn it.

 

[Grayjack]

Because they look cooler.
Ooops, I was replying to a message.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

Gotta be the Empire. If you've ever read the New Jedi Order Series...

Spoiler: Do you think...

I mean honestly, do you think the Vong would have stood a chance against the Eclipse Star Destroyer or the Death Star?

They definitely would have been destroyed.

 

[Pimppeter2]

i always felt bad for Wyle E Cyote on road runner. He just wanted to eat, he lived in a desert, cut him some slack. I wanted him to eat the bird.

Same with Tom of Tom and Jerry fame. I always felt for the cat.

Not so with Speedy Gonzales, apart from being a mildly racist stereotype, I loved him as a kid. Id have screamed till I was sick if Sylvester had ever eaten him.

Marry me?

Jk but seriously I agree with this so much


EDIT: Yea I like to root for the bad guy too, thats why I voted for Bush's reelection.

Jk sorry
