Random Word: Villain

Today's random word is 'villain'.

I am one of those people who loves the villains in stories much more than any other characters. Maybe that says something about the type of guys I usually fall for... Sometimes I guess I want something more interesting than the normal 'good vs evil' thing and want to see what stories are like when the villains win.

My Top 3 Favourite Villains:


1. Sylar from Heroes

I used to LOVE watching Heroes and I have to say that I got a bit over excited whenever Sylar came on screen. He is my favourite villain of all time. I think he was the first villain I ever saw on tv who actually scared me. At that time I'd never seen anyone slice someone's head open using the power of their mind. I was terrified but also knew at that point that this Sylar guy was going to make the story so much more exciting. Maybe I also find him my favourite villain because he is so hot. I mean you have to admit this guy is insanely good looking. You can imagine my disappointment when I found out that Zachary Quinto, the guy who played him, is actually gay. But still this insanely creepy guy made an amazing tv show even more amazing. Now I have the urge to go watch Heroes...


2. Ben from Lost

No I didn't have a crush on this guy. But I remember finding him so creepy when he turned up in Lost. I couldn't tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy. To be honest I still find myself questioning that at times. But for all the times he did bad things I'm going to call him a villain. He messed with my mind so much, and there were moments while I was watching Lost that I was so scared waiting to see what he was going to do next. Michael Emerson the actor is a truly gifted actor who managed to make me fear a character and also have a soft spot for him. There were so many times I felt sorry for Ben and wanted things to go well for him.


3. Dexter from Dexter

I think it is a genius idea to have a villain play the main character in a tv show. Okay so he does face much worse villains but come on, this guy chops people up. I don't care how many people out there are worse than him or how he always finds away to justify why he kills people, he's still a killer. That gives me the right to call him a villain. I used to be scared of him and used to cover my eyes when he killed people. Now I guess I'm used to it. That's pretty scary! I love his sarcasm and how sometimes it's so obvious that he's a killer but most people around him just don't realise. No villain has made me laugh as much as Dexter. The actor Michael C Hall is another genius. I wouldn't say I have a crush on him exactly but there is something about his personality that I love and find so hilarious.

So there you go, that's my waffle on today's random word. Let me know what you think of these villains and which people you consider to be your favourite villains.
