Darth Malak is on there as well. There's a ton of spelling errors on there...

Wow, he's pretty high up there. I didn't think that Monkey Island was well-known enough for him to snag such a spot. Go LeChuck!

He's made it to 24! Because back in the day when MI was made properly, LeChuck was a villain indeed, hence the use of the MI2 box art. I do suspect though that if all we had was the latest version of LeChuck, all he'd win is a smelly teddy bear contest because he's about as scary as a potato.

~~Is it a very evil-looking potato?~~

Yeah, that's true, he was much more intimidating in the early games. Though at the end of TMI he did reach a pretty sadistic level of evil.

Haha, yeah to be fair he was a bit of a bastard in TMI. Of course you can't beat his MI2 depiction for all-out disturbing — even makes Barbossa look tame!

Comment about good thing.

Boring remark about how much better things were in the old days.

GlaDOS? I didn't expect that lol.

Seems like the list is really biased, a number of franchises are overly present while many are strangely absent.

Ahhhhhh **** these page hit generator numbered lists. **** them all to hell.

This is by far the worst one. It's not even 10 villians per page, it's one! Damn you Newscorp, aren't you rich enough?!

Indeed, indeed. He was really scary. And that flaming beard in CMI was pretty freaky too. Hahah.

Come to think of it I remember being pretty unsettled by the demonic LeChuck in CMI when I was little. Up until the epic carnival chat (where he almost became like an old friend to Guybrush) he was pretty fearsome, burning guys alive and generally being really pissed off.

The fact that Ridley isn't on here is a big mistake...

LordTrilobite · 05-22-2010, 11:25 AM

Or Darth Revan.

Yes, I felt the same way. I was generally kind of afraid of him when I first played CMI at age six, despite the comedic tone of the game. I wasn't as afraid of the LeChuck in MI2, but I was actually about three years older when I first played that game, so it's not really a fair system. MI2 LeChuck was actually scarier in a lot of ways.
