To achieve this end, he forever seeks the cosmic power of the Anti-Life Equation to use as the ultimate weapon. Incapable of love or empathy, he abused his loyal son Kalibak, handed over his adopted son Scott Free to be tortured and brainwashed by Granny Goodness, and attempted to murder his other son, Orion, for opposing him. His servants are likewise subjected to torture or death should they fail or even question him. Setting his sights on conquering Earth, Darkseid launched a full-scale invasion, only relenting when the planet was declared off-limits by Apokolips's sister planet, New Genesis.

When his beloved elder brother Caleb Wittebane left to the Demon Realm with a witch, Philip crossed worlds and tracked him down, only to find Caleb in love with the witch. Unable to reconcile his beliefs with his brother's "betrayal", Philip murdered Caleb, then fled into the Boiling Isles and devoted the rest of his life to devising a realm-wide genocide. To do this, Philip tracked down the godlike Collector—tricking, betraying and killing off a slew of witches and demons in the process—and slowly built himself up as the Demon Realm's Dark Messiah. In one instance, Belos wiped out an entire city, then tested a prototype of his Coven sigils—the method with which he seeks to enact his "draining spell" to wipe out all life on the Isles—on the survivors, leaving them for dead when the process left them comatose. As overlord of the Isles, Belos engages in a variety of atrocities, from duping all of his loyal followers into a scheme he knows will kill them all, to consuming the souls of thousands of Palismen and keeping them in writhing torment within him.

Later teaming up with Helmut Zemo, the duo threatens to set off a bomb which would cause seismic and volcanic destruction in many states unless they are given $10 million in gold, with Strucker likely planning to set off the bomb regardless.

• Lady Ashino is the long-dead reason for the Seven Mysteries of Honjo, being responsible for the blood-filled "Honjo Incident". Living in the Edo period of Japan as an onmyōji, Ashino tempted Tsushimakado Seiman into researching the Rite of Resurrection, which would supposedly bring someone back to life at the cost of a few sacrifices, for Ashino to be granted eternal beauty. Although Seiman would be thrown out for this, Ashino would grow desperate for the information he had, deciding to go to the town where he resided and deciding to torture the information out of the people he had met. In order to do this, Ashino would manipulate the local daimyo and the chief retainer to cause seven people to be killed in different events, collecting their souls to turn them into soul dregs and use them for the rite. Her actions would cause Seiman to create the Curse Stones, so that no one would try to use the Rite of Resurrection again.

Yoko ambitiously plans to return her family name back into prestige with the Rite of Resurrection to bring Ashino back. To this end, Yoko creates a death game of mutual slaughter with the Curses to gather the sacrifices for the Rite, bringing in deranged people like Nejima and Araishi to perpetuate kills before killing Hajime and Shogo Okiie, who were Seiman's descendants. Hiding in the shadows to watch the killings from afar, Yoko joins at the end to kill Mio and Erio when they are close to the truth before using the Curses herself to gather the last sacrifices to finish the ritual.

Learning that Horus is fated to overthrow him, Set sends his army in search of Horus, leading to the massacre of Horus's entire village. Set attempts to have Apsiu who rebelled against him executed, and when Horus comes to the city with an army, attempts to sway his half-brother Anubis to his side.

Looking to add a picture for the RWBY Fan Works page and I needed a bit more input to make sure it's good to go.

to both Thoth and Sekhmet. I don't buy Thoth having any kind of genuine honor or gracefulness seeing how arrogant he immediately acts afterwards. To me he's just a very calm Faux Affably Evil villain who had understood that at that point it was pointless stressing out since he couldn't do anything else.

Also Echidna, Thoth and Sekhmet aren't the ones warning that they will destroy the world if the artifacts aren't returned. They just use it as an excuse to destroy the world and recreate humanity since the other gods (except Nameless) were the ones angry about the artifacts.

No for Thoth. That ending doesn't sway me.

Also dammit, I lost the discussion about Mr. Whiskers.

I opened a thread to discuss the Monster.Ghostbusters image.

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

Nay to Thoth, Yes to Cassandra

Here's a quickie for us, from the Australian Western film The Proposition which already has Eden Fletcher, there's a more minor nasty who passes:

Who is Sergeant Lawrence? What has he done?

• A brutish cop who believes that his boss Captain Stanley is "weak" for going easy on the local Aboriginal people, Lawrence quickly establishes his contempt and racism of the Aboriginal people when he rounds up 6 "rebels" who are truthfully just locals living harmlessly; he treats them viciously and when Stanley is trying to question them calmly, Lawrence pulls a gun and threatens to kill one right on the spot until Stanley steps in and orders him to leave the room.
• When the teenager, mentally slow Mikey Burns is arrested by Stanley purely to blackmail his older brother to do dirty work, Lawrence spends his free time sadistically tormenting and mocking the boy, laughing in glee as Mikey is reduced to sobs and tears from his bullying.
• When Eden Fletcher demands a full-on extermination of the Aboriginal people, it is Lawrence that leads the charge. He gathers a group of men and heads into the outback to slaughter any Aboriginal people he finds, and in one scene is shown to spot an encampment. The next scene an entire large group of Aboriginal corpses are seen strewn about as Lawrence drunkenly celebrates with his men their first massacre, his hands covered in blood.
• The next morning, Lawrence meets his end when Mikey's older brother Arthur ambushes and stomps Lawrence to death, but not before Lawrence tries to save his own ass by revealing that Charlie is out to kill Arthur.

Mitigating features?

Nah, he's a racist and bully with nothing good about him to speak of.

Heinousness?

He's a Psycho for Hire who is eagerly terrorizing and wanting to kill the Aboriginal people, and slaughters an entire encampment of them with designs for even more. He's further a total jackass to Mikey who psychologically tortures him for hours.

Eden's a nasty POS who has Mikey whipped to death and is the one who gives the order against the Aboriginal people, and Arthur himself is a rapist and child murderer, but Lawrence's slaughter of an entire Aboriginal camp is truly horrible and he's functioning on a lower scale than Eden or Arthur.

Final Verdict?

I'd say he hits

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

Lawrence

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

I don't want to brag or anything but when it comes to being the worst, I'm always at the top!

Lawrence!

"No running in the halls!"

Always wondered if Lawrence counted or not but haven't seen the movie in long while. Yes to him. Also, I should check out the movie again; to check if Arthur's dragon Samuel counts!

Welcome to the world of greatest media!

Ok question: are all spots for proposals taken RN?

Rule is 4 eps per page. And three works per troper (with I think six as the maximum you can do before write ups from that).

"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."

So yes or no?

Are there 4 proposals on this page? Do you have 3 other active effortposts? If the answer to both is no, then you can propose.

There's only one effortpost on this page thus far, it's mine for Lawrence. That means you can do the proposal. Just look up and down the posts of a page and you can see where effortposts are.

Edited by Ravok on Apr 30th 2023 at 12:33:47 PM

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!

I definitely don't have 3 active EPs on my side. I however don't know how many there are on this page RN.

Alright, I watched the defeat, and Thoth's reasons for leaving seem pragmatic given he lists stuff like his minion ditching him (at least with what little context I have) as the reason why, especially since he indicates he'll be back. So to Sekhmet and a weak one to Thoth.

to Cassandra as well.

He/Him

Plus, at that point the protagonists had summoned an unbeatable warrior, so Thoth would have been foolish to stay there.

What is the work?

Keroppi and Friends is a South Korean/Canadian/Japanese children's animated series focusing on the adventures of, well, Keroppi and his friends.

Who is the candidate and what have they done?

Avalon is the main antagonist of the episode "The Adventures of the Coward Prince" (which you can find on YouTube alongside the other episodes BTW).

Ok so, before describing him specifically I'm gonna talk about the premise of the episode itself so you can better understand: Keroppi and his friends go to watch a movie, which is about this kingdom of Aqurious with this prince called Aaron, and everything is all happy and peaceful until Avalon and his forces invade.

Ok so, going back on Avalon himself, we don't really get much of a background aside the fact he apparently had already tried to take over the kingdom in the past and, IDK, I guess was trapped away or something. Anyway, Avalon has these bat-like minions turn every single inhabitant into stone, except for Aaron, who manages to run away (even if he's almost killed by two ghost-like minions).

Then, well, Keroppi finishes into the world of the movie via a lighting because... magic or something, and so he decides to help Aaron find this magic sword to defeat Avalon. The two travel and eventually reach the place where the sword is, but are attacked by 3 spider-like minions of Avalon, although they're killed by a powered up Aaron.

Keroppi is then sent back to his world and returns to see the ending of the movie, where he sees Aaron and Avalon having their final battle, with Avalon being killed and his curse being lifted.

Any redeeming qualities? Freudian Excuse?

Simply, no.

Are they bad enough?

Ok so, I admit I have watched only 4-5 episodes of this series, but from what I've seen it's overall lighthearted so I doubt any other villain comes even remotely close to Avalon, who literally petrified an entire kingdom.

Final verdict?

to me.
