Villains you feel sorry for

[DagothGares]

Delacroix from the green mile is someone I can sympathise with...

Now... A video game villain...
Markal from the HoMM series. He was just an old geezer who was banished from his country for practicing forbidden arts and whom's master was brutally slain by sopmething pretty equal to the inquisition. Come to think of it... I like most villains branded a heretic, even on the rare occasion it is rightfully so or justified he dies.

I also sympathise with Kel'thuzad and, until they've released the fourth installment of warcraft, I'll deny ANY claims of his demise.
Bah, it's hard, since villains from video games are usually portrayed to be evil and nothing else, so you'll feel good after you beat him up.

only one villian? lets see... that penguin guy from batman.... he had an unlucky look... and a messed up mind

Nah, sorry if I worded it poorly. As many as you feel are appropriate.

Haku from Naruto. OK, maybe he's not technically a villain but his back stoty and what happen to him is really sad. The way he ended up with Zabuza and why he does the things he does go a lot deeper than most villains.

Yeah, I forgot Haku. He's definitely a good choice.

Anyway, to expand on my choice of Alma, I began to play through F.E.A.R 2 today, all I can say is FUCK ARMACHAM!

I felt quite sorry for the Joker in The Dark Knight...there was something so lovable about
his obvious insanity....

 

[Haddi]

Sylar from heroes, the poor guys life has sucked

Saren a little bit

people will hate this but i feel sorry for, or at least can empathize with, the Joker from The Dark Knight

one of my favorite villains is Hannibal Lector, not sure whether or not i feel sorry for him though, i'll have to think about it

also Johnny Ringo from Tombstone was a sad villain

Yeah, I'd say Sylar. One of the most emotional moments from the end of the first season (To me) was when he tries to make his mother happy with his powers, showing her that he can be special like she wanted him to be, and she dies because of this, dying, not believing that Sylar is her son, but some demon come to torment her. I can still remember her screaming at him that she wanted her son back.

.....

Poor guy.

I'm not entirely sure that I'd class her as the villain, but I really feel for Allesa Gillespie from the Silent Hill series.

Kitano from Battle Royale (the film, not the manga, he was an asshole in the manga)

Just a seemingly lonely man who used to be a teacher until being stabbed by a pupil. He never seems to enjoy the deaths and is always very kind to Noriko, such as when he gave her his umbrella so that she doesn't catch a cold from the rain. You can't help feeling sorry for him when his daughter tells him not to bother coming home.

Funnily enough... yeah I agree. That was probably the only part of that film which made me sympathise with the characters. Kitano always seemed more of a more-reluctant-than-usual-puppet to me, rather than a villain.

 

[DementedSheep]

I don't think I was meant to be sympathetic towards Soto and the other sabre tooth lions in ice age.

Mirri Maz Duur from a Song of Ice and Fire. Danny was an idiot for expecting her to help the man who just destroyed her village. I also feel sorry for Joffrery and Cersei though I hate them both. I would say Theon but by this point I think you are supposed to feel sorry for him.

Spoiler

It's hard not to when he is being tortured by Ramsey

 

[Prod1gy]

Honestly, I felt bad for Megamind when he was a villain as well as Ron when he became a villain.

Zuko from the "Avatar the last airbender" had a depressing childhood which lead him to believe that hunting down the Avatar would make his father proud of him.
