Villains that really successfully made you HATE them

[CAMDAWG]

Question: Where do you stand on Jon's mother? I lean towards the whole rhaegar/lyanna thing, but seeing as that's the most popular theory, martin will probably go with something else for the lolz

I don't really know to be honest. I thought that she was just some random noble woman- I hadn't realised it might be important to the plot. How would it be anything to do with Rhaegar or Lyanna though? You mean Jon might be their son? I guess that makes some kind of sense... such as why Ned is so reluctant to talk about it, as if anyone knew they'd try and kill him.

A few characters weigh in on who they think it was. Some say a random noblewoman (ashara dayne), some say a random other woman called wylla, some say a fisherman's daughter, none of which are ever confirmed or denied.

The whole rhaegar/lyanna thing comes from the Ned's flashback to the tower of joy, which involves three of the then kingsguard protecting a stronghold with no one other than lyanna supposedly inside, which would make sense if there was a royal son being born. And then ned mentions how she died in a bed full of blood, and he made some mysterious promise to her (that no one but howland reed knows of), then ned comes back to the north with a bastard son, completely out of character. It's really just a fan theory, but a lot of it seems to fit, and it's fairly popular.

This bastard right here, General Sheppard

I must say, he did a really good job fooling everyone

Spoiler

After the nuke exploding in the CoD4 mission 'Shock and Awe' were 30,000 US troops were killed, it pretty much changed him and made him feel that the US was weak and he wanted to restore the USA's reputation as a global power and how does he plan to achieve this boys and girls, by allying himself with international terrorist, Vladimir Makarov and placing one of his own men with him to carrying out a terrorist attack at a Russian Airport killing hundreds of people and then making it look like the US carried it out which led to Russia invading America thereby kickstarting World War III and as a result, Sheppard was put in charge of America defense and given a blank cheque for any resources. So let me get this straight, you caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people just because you're butthurt that the America's ego trip has ended *puts down controller, walks outside and screams "I'm going to kill you, you fucking bastard"*

Of course that's only the tip of the iceberg on how much I hate Sheppard

Spoiler

He kills Roach and Ghost after finding information linking him to Makarov and orders that all Task Force 141 be killed so as to cement his position as a war hero and to also frame Price and Soap as war criminals

It just made it all the more satisfying when you kill him

Spoiler

Throwing knife to the eye for the win.

 

[Remus]

Scott Summers. The boy scout needs to die already. He's not only lost his mind but lost control altogether in every conceivable way.

 

[IrenIvy]

Ramsay Snow, Bolton's bastard from "Game of Thrones". I literally wanted to do to him everything he ever did to anybody else.

The Elder God from 'Legacy of Kain' series, this patronizing, arrogant attitude done via magnificent voice of late Tony Jay. That creature fed on souls from the whole world, directly or indirectly stagnating said world, and when one of the nations refused to worship it, it instigated a war so that nation can be destroyed. The most entitled parasite I ever saw.

Speaking of entitled parasites, another one is Prince LaCroix from VtM Bloodlines game. While his deeds aren't that horrendous comparatively to other villains, I got an extreme satisfaction choosing option "F*ck you" at the end.

From literature: Ramona Norville, from Stephen King's "Full Night, No Stars" book. She is a mother of serial rapist and murderer and directly supplied her son with victims for years, with total disregard to human life and dignity.

Don Richardo from "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Zafon and Inspector Fumero from the same book. First one actually let his daughter die from childbirth while listening to her pleas from behind a locked door, second one was a sick bastard that would (very probably, but still) make even Ramsay Snow cringe.

 

[sheah1]

Captain Martin Walker. Full Stop.

Please please please edit and spoiler this. Fantastic game, hate to see it ruined for people.

 

[Darkbladex96]

Yawgmoth and Nicol Bolas from M:TG

Yawgmoth was a manipulative bastard, so is Bolas...but GOD! I hate Bolas so much more. He is so condescending.

Nicol Bolas is like the only character I can think of who would sound like a jerk no matter what he does. Even if all he did was give you a back rub, feed you ice cream, and say have a nice day.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Since you're leaping over the usual targets, allow me to offer two of my own. One I am surprised hasn't been mentioned, and the other you might not have heard of.

First, the obvious one.

You son of a *****. I've noticed that you have fans for all the villains in Star Wars, except for Tarkin. You can sympathize with Piett or Needa, or enjoy the badass Vader or cackling Emperor, but I don't think anyone is a fan of Governor Wilhuff Tarkin. Nothing but pure malevolent intent that is masked by an aristocratic smirk that you just want to punch.

Second, the not so obvious.

LIJAH FETHING CUU. Ex hive ganger turned Imperial Guardsman, a rapist, blackmailer, and murderer, responsible for several honest people, and he gets away with it for several books without so much as a hint of what he's done. Thank god for Larkin.

 

[uchytjes]

sugou nobuyuki from sword art online. He is BUILT to make you hate him. He is just a despicable human being. Also, he is creepy and a psychopath who thinks he is the god of the virtual realm, so theres that.

 

[AntiChri5]

Robin hobb is really good at making you hate people you're supposed to hate... Holy shit prince Regal is a ****, god damn. I want to throttle him.

And ofcourse that emperorry dude of whom I have completely lost the name and proper title now, in The Liveship Traders trilogy. This line took the cake for me: "Rape is just something women invented to put a price on something they have an unlimited supply of."
This said to a woman who was locked up and raped daily for weeks on end, on his orders.

Him I wish to stab in the eye with pixiestix.

I believe his title was Satrap or something like that. But yeah he was such a Thundercunt. The worse parts of Regals personality, taken to an absolute extreme.

 

[bug_of_war]

Uncle Fuckin' Paulie from The Darkness.

Revenge has never been sweeter.

Holy crap yes! him and The Darkness itself.

Spoiler

How it makes you watch her die, and just gloats about how what he did has freed you.

And that mangled dude in the second Darkness game, he was so frustrating! It's like, "Just f#*% off," every time he comes in and does, "GIVE ME THE DARKNESS".

Spoiler

And then the Angelus at the end of the game, flying away using Jenny's body and leaving Jackie in hell. WE NEED A DARKNESS 3!

 

[Suave Charlie]

Ramsay fucking Bolton.

Fuck this Joffrey business, Ramsay makes him look like your favourite hero.

 

[Vault101]

Cesar in Fallout New vegas. the slavery, the rape, the killing of women and childern, the treating of women like sex slaves im glad i killed him. .

then you get people who actually backed him..and its like "the fuck is wrong with you?"

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Yawgmoth and Nicol Bolas from M:TG

Yawgmoth was a manipulative bastard, so is Bolas...but GOD! I hate Bolas so much more. He is so condescending.

Nicol Bolas is like the only character I can think of who would sound like a jerk no matter what he does. Even if all he did was give you a back rub, feed you ice cream, and say have a nice day.

I have to agree with you on Yawgmoth.

He really was such a bastard and I couldn't believe how he manipulated himself to the top and practically got away with....well...without going into spoilers, killing people. I was actually impressed with how he managed to do it too.

Poor Glacian and Rebbec though.

 

[MorganL4]

(First off, spoiler warning - chances are pretty much everything with a villain in it will be spoiled in this thread, assuming it takes off)

snip

So, my point is: What villains in media really (preferably, unexpectedly) succeeded in making you hate them with the burning fury of a thousand suns?

You know, for someone who warned about spoilers, you don't seem to make much use of the spoiler tag, especially for something as long form as Game of Thrones.

(I haven't read/watched it by the way, so those who contribute GoT stuff, please mark spoilers.)

OT:

This sounds dumb, but a couple of the villains in MLP: FiM actually do a very good job of making you hate them. Discord, spirit of chaos gets a special mention since he's the antithesis of most if not all of my personal philosophy.

In things not for little girls, Kessler from Infamous was great. I mean, we're talking about the kind of person who

Spoiler

kills the love of his life and makes the life of his younger self a living hell of bad publicity, isolation, and violence in order to harden his younger self into the kind of hero who won't be tied down by emotions when he needs to save the world

He is the hardest of core.

Yeah, no I love Discord, just because A John de Lancie plays him and B John de Lancie plays him.... But no seriously the way Discord is set up in MLP it is as if Discord is a part of the Q continuum making MLP occurring in an alternate dimension in the Star Trek universe ( which is supposed to be our universe, except that Khan Noonien Singh did not rule Russia in the 1990's like he was supposed to) so disappointed by that flaw in our history, we should go back and fix that.

 

[Zeren]

Briza Do'urden and Malice Do'Urden from the Legend of Drizzt books. I have never hated fictional characters so much before.

 

[Rule Britannia]

The bad guy in Fable II fuck that guy.

Handsome Jack, he's an asshole but he's funny so I don't hate that much...butt stallion
Sylar from Heroes. He's the most badass villain ever so in that sense I like him but the writers did an amazing job making scary as shit (in the 1st and 2nd season, mind you)


She's a protaganist but I see her as an antagonist, Skyler White from Breaking Bad pisses me off soooooo much. I can't quite put my finger on it but she makes me angry whenever she comes on camera

 

[Mauler]

Well it would either be Joffrey(hes an asshole and needs to be locked in 2x2 meter room and be onley fed shit and introvenosley proteins and votamins(longer trauma)), Saruman because hes a DICK also and has a realley short sighted plans for the future, and last but not least the TEAM ROCKET!!!(For makers sake try using different pokEMOns)...

 

[iwinatlife]

Second, the not so obvious.

LIJAH FETHING CUU. Ex hive ganger turned Imperial Guardsman, a rapist, blackmailer, and murderer, responsible for several honest people, and he gets away with it for several books without so much as a hint of what he's done. Thank god for Larkin.

CUUUUU!!! walking Diablos ex machina. Nothing like a sociopath to kill half of the most likable characters. He was the first character ever to make me almost throw a book in rage
