Poll: Who is the real Dark Lord?

[The Cheezy One]

Where's Bowser?

I want to say Vader just for my love of Star Wars, but he turns out all good in the end and repents and shit so I think Sauron, if you think about it he comes close to the general idea of the devil.

Dude...Spoiler Warning

Sauron. He was practically the archtype for it in modern-ish fantasy.

Meh, actually Sauron was a chump. His boss Morgoth on the other hand was a right prick!

I am honestly surprised satan is hardly getting votes I mean he is litterally the dark lord the guys who controls all evil manipulates people into doing bad things steals our souls and tortures billions in the afterlife to run his kingdom of sorrow.

Well that depends on where you are looking. None of those things are mentioned in the bible, and have just be added to him for the past 2000 years.

you relize the bible is less than 2000 years old since most of it was written after jesus had died. Either way I have to admit I pulled most of that out my ass its really just the impression of what he is supposed to be that I have gathered through my life but nobody can be certain the bible bearly mentions him and alot of the stories from the bible were left out of the final version which we all read.

Actually its only the new testament that is less than 2000 years old with the old testament being around for quite a bit before Jesus. As for what the bible says about satan, i'm pretty sure he's never refered to as the dark lord and while you can argue about whether he's ficton or not i dont think he's really a fantasy character.

I personnally voted for Sauron as he's the first to come to mind if someone were to say dark lord. Also why is the picture of him the eye ontop of his lovely tower? Surely a picture of him in his armour is more iconic.

That is not actually true the stories take place before Jesus but the old testament was written after. You could argue that most of thet stories were taken from other older religions and that would be true but they wernt actually the old testament just individial pieces without any sorta of title implicating them as part of the bible.

I like the fact you listed Satan as a fantasy dark lord.

 

[thedevilscousin]

All hail Sauron, the lord of Middle-earth

 

[Nenad]

Obvious.

Otherwise, Vader or Dracula.

 

[KelsieKatt]

I would generally say that the first thing which comes to mind of those is Voldemort, however that's more because they directly refer to him as the "Dark Lord."

As for my favorite of that group, would probably be Dracula.

Spoiler

Obvious.

Mwahahahaha. Awesome.

I think Cthulhu should be added to the poll as well.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Sauron seems to be the best candidate for the Dark Lord.

 

[WhiteFangofWhoa]

Voldemort, the only one of these who insists on having his followers address him as such. Sauron is a close second since he earned it more, but he isn't nearly as active or personal- he's more like a natural disaster.

 

[WhatHityou]

Id say Americas current debt buuuuuut if w are sticking within fantasy context I would have to say mecha-Godzilla that guy is really evil.

 

[Okysho]

I put other. His name is Ben "Yathzee" Crowshaw

 

[Angry_squirrel]

Who is The Lich King?
OT: I voted "Other" for Cthulu.

 

[Grey_Focks]

Of that list, Sauron certainly "wins" in my book.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

I would have voted for Sauron if I hadn't read the Similarion and found out that he's just Melkor's pawn :/.

This is now Revan's thread
