So, we see this in games and film all the time. An evil god has been locked up for a thousand years and is just dying to be released. Why on EARTH would you want to let something like this out? This isn't a criticism, I'm honestly asking the question and hoping to get answers. So many villains seem to be doing it "just because" or for the empty promise of power. There has to be at least ONE really good reason for someone to try and release an evil god from his dimensional prison. So what's yours?

Mine: Psychosis. Only someone with a genuinely ill perception of reality operating outside normal logic would want to do something like this.

NOW PROVE ME WRONG!
So that I could be his Evil Champion and hopefully become an Overlord over Humanity thus getting myself set for life. Like if it was Grandfather Nurgle who wanted me I would have killed Humanity twenty times over already just to get his gift of plague. Thus I could give myself a really long ass title too, His Supreme Dreadlord, Commander of the Skies, Destroyer of Oceans, Slayer of Dreams, Deflower of Virgins, Murderer of Hope, Pillager of Atlantis and Ravager of the Southern Hemisphere our Lord and Omnipotent Savior the one who resurrected our Great Lord who we lament to every hour of the day Frederic of Awesometon.

If everyone I knew and loved was dead, then I'd do it. I mean, why not? Plus, I'd like to see what type of hero would try and stop me, and also if I could then do it in spite of said hero.

I'd do it so I could challenge them to a beer drinking contest,(VB's of course).
Afterwards, while they're sleeping off their alchohol induced coma I would proceed to have off one of their eyebrows(meaning they have to shave the other one off themselves).
Although if I come home drunk again Slaanesh will probally make me sleep on the couch....Bloody wives.
Personally I think it's ok to get drunk as long as you have a responsible designated driver who, unlike the god-emperor, won't go off and drink themselves into a 40,000 year coma.

I'm just guessing here but I bet this all started because someone saw a crappy movie on the sci-fi channel.
Actually I haven't watched television in 8 years. Ghostbusters is the only example of this trope I can immediately recall off the top of my head in cinema. I happened to be drawing a concept for an evil god when this question came to mind.

Actually, the idea of awakening the dark god to CHALLENGE the dark god hadn't occurred to me. Very cool. :D

Ask the Prince of Persia.

He did it to get laid.
And I think that most of us agree that this was one of the lamest motivations ever and that the character of the new Prince is irredeemably marred.

I would do it for the lulz... sorry couldn't resist.

Seriously though there are a few reasons I would. First of all if I believe the evil god could create a better society by destroying humanity (who in all fairness is rather bloodthirsty and evil in itself).

Secondly if I had made a blood pact with the Dark God and would get a high position in the "new world" I would free/ressurect him.

Finally I would do it if I honestly thought I could control him/use his power to my benefit.

I`d only do it if i had someway of putting said dark god under my control if i don`t then there`s no way in hell I would even if I was crazy, cause you know there's the amount of work you have to put in (scripture,artifacts,human sacrifices etc.) just to get it to happen so I just would`nt do it.

Cthulhu's a close friend of mine, we went to high school together, wouldn't you help bust your best buddy out of prison?
I hear Yog-Sothoth has lost weight since his school photos. Shame about Shub-Niggurath, she is owed a lot of child support. (A THOUSAND young? That black goat of the woods gets around!)
