  • Assistant Director Aaron Wilson is a greedy member of The Shop and the secret head of Prometheus. Missing the old days of the Cold War, Wilson decided to bring it back by using his old contacts in KGB to create Prometheus and have them develop a deadly Romulus virus, which he soon tested by forcing drug lord Manuel Vergara to sell it to a rebel terrorist group La Fuerza del Dios and led them to use it on a village full of innocent people, leading to many people dying a slow and agonizing death.

  • Vex, the Arc Villain for "Peak Performance", is a sadistic woodsman and necromancer, and despite his limited screen time stands out as one of the nastiest foes the Oxventurers Guild have encountered, never being played for humor. Imbuing his traps with necromancy that will raise the corpse of anyone caught in them, even if said trap doesn't inflict fatal wounds, Vex taxidermizes any zombified being that returns to him, as shown by the extensive collection of displayed animals in his cabin. Far from doing this to survive, this is done purely out of sadism and inflated ego, as shown when he gleefully reflects on turning Merilwen's wildcat, Simon, into a hat despite its being buried—twisting the knife in the process and refusing to take the hat off despite the elf's visible grief—and then tries doing the same to the Guild by siccing a zombie bear on them. Despite his claims of doing this to get by, Vex truly saw himself as superior to all others and viewed any attempt to impede his activities as "cheating" him out of what he believed to be rightfully his.

This continued until the town was completely destroyed and all of its people wiped out. It stalks the town, tormenting the ghosts of its past victims and hanging corpses all across the town. It summons pumpkin minions and giant insects to attack guests, and kidnaps people from around the area to force into slave labor, use as torture victims, or forcibly nail to posts and use as scarecrows to attract crows and be Eaten Alive. It throws men, women, and children into a giant meat grinder, then cooks both them and the guests into pumpkin pies.

He commands his minions to make things as horrific as possible, using massive drills, saws, hooks, and knives to mutilate and torment the innocent children. He decorates his realm with pinned butterflies, jars of children's organs, teeth, and stretched-out human skin.

Kept only in place by the sacred pact of the gods, Rushu finds numerous ways to subvert or simply outright break the pact, occasionally personally appointing Shushu to wreak swathes of bloody havoc and destruction while routinely tempting souls into becoming more Shushu. Rushu collaborates with the Eliatrope traitor Qilby to gain access to the World of Twelve to start razing everything in sight, his advent upon the world only thwarted by his Arch-Enemy Goultard.

I have a candidate to share with yall and its a child from a Dungeons and Dragons campaign!
Because them k i d s, am i right- no, this is not your standard kid cruelty, lemme- lemme give yall a rundown of her.

So what is this DnD campaign this man is talking about?
Dingo Doodles's main series on her channel documents the DnD campaign she's part of run by her boyfriend, known as Fools' Gold. It starts out tame, as predicted, what with her character releasing a Tarrasque by singing karaoke, all presented in a humorous tone, at least until the story progresses and she begins leaving cliffhangers. In episode 12, the DM had cleverly brought back a very interesting NPC by the name of Queen BouClaire, a ten-year-old child whose previous appearance was near the beginning of the campaign.

So who is Queen BouClaire? Why, despite being a ten year old kid, is she so depraved?
Queen BouClaire, formerly known as Potato Girl, started out as a young peasant who clearly stated her desire to become a princess and requested the strongest poison Gothi (one of the player characters) had, to which she accepted, more to humor the thought than anything. She also gave the child a potato, stating "kid like potatoes, yeah?"
BouClaire immediately starts testing the poison on unsuspecting locals, one of who just so happens to be one of the party's companions, Sneeze (who Gothi quickly cured, which BouClaire immediately displayed a sense of disappointment to during the next scene). She also begins growing poison-infused potatoes (in multiple patches!), and when she only had one left when her house burned down, taunted Gothi with a single expression on her face, as well as the potato. While the party is otherwise occupied for several sessions, she cleverly manipulates her way up to the top of Kylandria, which included charming the king and queen into adopting her after being implied to have killed her parents. The king and queen also die soon thereafter (which Dingo directly states she killed them), and the position of queen is "voluntarily" given to her by their legitimate children (Which- she was granted power when she took control of the food and water supply, threatening to poison towns when even one her subjects protest).
When the party catches up to her in a formal meeting, she "thanks" Gothi for giving her the tools she needed to rise to power in the first place, taunts Erina (another player character) when she tells her she had her parents executed, and "offered" the party a set of occupations in the castle for their allegiance, under the invisible threat of boiling blood runes, which she talked to in length to her guards about just how she was going to humiliate and torment them, making their lives a living hell. She also gets killed by Erina in episode 14, and that's just about everything I covered.

Does BouClaire have any redeeming qualities, other than the fact that she's a ten-year-old kid?
I believe not, and the fact that she's a child barely detracts from her depravity. Kids can be cruel, sure, but... yeah, this isn't standard kid cruelty at all.

Does she meet the heinousness threshhold?
I believe so. Kinora also stands out as a manipulative witch who gave Sips (Dingo's PC) his curse and is likely a candidate in her own right, but apart from that I can't think of anyone worse than this kid in this campaign lmao

Okay, she seems bad enough on paper, but just how seriously is this played?

A sickening pervert, Corneo is known for claiming nightly brides, from willing and unwilling women alike, passing others to his men to be 'enjoyed' by them. Once he is done, the women are fed to his monstrous pet Abzu, a pattern that continues for a very long time and not even the loved ones of his own subordinates are safe.

Later attempting to have the Whirlwind and Malazan armies wipe one another out, Korbolo Dom rejoins the empire, blaming the Wickan tribes and trying to subject them to horrific pogroms with nothing to stand between him and his horrific ambitions.

What ?

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

to Bou Claire, doesn't seem heinous enough (a lot of the EP was about her taunting the heroes and trying to kill them which is generic, killing the King and Queen and threatening to destroy towns is closer but if she doesn't actually go through with the threats then I don't think it's enough), and she's part of a jokey Lets Player series that doesn't seem it like it takes itself seriously at all (her evil plan relies on magic potatoes, that's not a series that is taking itself very seriously)

Edited by WaryHoglet on Jun 28th 2020 at 11:40:54 AM

Agreed.

Claire.

I sincerely, sincerely doubt anything here is played seriously.

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

...Yeah, I probably presented her a little badly.
But yes, she is talked about in a serious weight most of the time. (and when it's not, it's usually in terms of Dingo going "HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" when documenting her rise to power.)
As for the threats? She may or may not have gone through with them, but when she doesn't, it's either because she couldn't (in terms of making the party's lives a living hell? she was killed first, and she actually tried to use the blood runes during a second encounter but Gothi scratched them out beforehand) or her victims complied with her requests.
...I'm out of time, so that's going to be my last argument. I honestly just thought it was worth a shot, anyway.

Hi everyone! I just turned 25 this week, so I wanted to make an EP for the occasion. There's a villain from a certain movie that I've been thinking about posting for a while, but he's a bit peculiar...

Before I start, I should probably clarify that no, this is not a joke.

What's The Work?
Robot Monster is an infamous Z movie released in 1953. The story is about a powerful alien/robot/monster/cyborg/gorilla who is sent to Earth by his leader, the Great Guidance, to exterminate humanity.

Who Is He and What Has He Done?
The Great Guidance is the supreme ruler of the planet Ro-Man.

This planet is inhabited by some sorts of cyborgs, who have ape-like bodies and robotic heads. They possess advanced technology and have mastered the Cosmic Ray (which is something more powerful than atomic energy). Also, they are not allowed to feel emotion.

After exploring the galaxy, the Ro-Mans discovered that there are no life forms on any other planet, except planet Earth. Viewing the humans as potential rivals, the Great Guidance sends one of his subordinates, Ro-Man XJ 2, to exterminate all of them so that the Ro-Mans can take possession of their planet. Ro-Man XJ 2 uses the Calcinator Beam (a weapon derived from the Cosmic Ray) to cause lots of deaths and destruction (and also to bring some dinosaurs back to life, apparently...), causing many countries to accuse and wage war on each other with Hydrogen bombs. When they discover that Ro-Man is responsible, all the armies of the world try to fight him, unfortunately he proves to be far too powerful for them and he ends up destroying them all.

Once most living beings on Earth are seemingly wiped out, Ro-Man contacts the Great Guidance to inform him of the success of his mission... only for the Great Guidance to berate him because, according to his computer, a few humans have survived. The Great Guidance orders his subordinate to find these humans and destroy them by any means necessary.

As it turns out, a scientist managed to develop a serum that protected him and his family from the Calcinator Beam. While trying to contact other potential survivors, the family sees Ro-Man appearing on their video screen, who tells them that if they surrender he will grant them a painless death. Then, he mentions that they are the only humans left and shows them footages of cities being ravaged by the Calcinator Beam in order to undermine their morale.

Shortly after, Ro-Man contacts the Great Guidance and asks for some guidance, because, for the first time of his life, he's having doubts. Furious, the Great Guidance yells at him that he's starting to sound too much like a human, and makes it clear that if he fails to kill the last humans very soon, he will be killed.

During the following days, Ro-Man manages to locate two humans, who are taking off in a rocket to reach a space platform (which still has many people on it), and reports it to the Great Guidance. The Great Guidance decides to take care of it himself and uses the Cosmic Blast to blow up both the rocket and the space platform, killing all the people inside. Then, some footages of the destruction are sent to the scientist's family in order to crush their hopes. Once again, Ro-Man tells them to surrender and accept a painless death, or else he will go seek them out himself.

However, the family decides to contact Ro-Man and tries to convince him that the human race poses no threat to his people, and that they can live in peace. During the conversation, Ro-Man begins to take an interest in Alice, the scientist's older daughter.

Later, Ro-Man finds Carla, the scientist's younger daughter, and kills her. He contacts the Great Guidance to inform him of the girl's death, and takes the opportunity to ask permission to spare Alice. The Great Guidance gets angry at him and orders him to kill all the remaining humans without exception, which upsets Ro-Man.

Ro-Man eventually finds Alice and her husband Roy. He beats Roy to death and captures Alice before bringing her to his lair. As he wonders about the feelings he has for her, the Great Guidance contacts him and tells him to kill her. Ro-Man starts having second thoughts and says that for once, he'd like to make his own decision. He also asks why the Ro-Mans aren't allowed to have emotions. Irritated, the Great Guidance tells him to be careful, as he acts more and more like a human, and says that if he doesn't kill Alice, he will be destroyed. Ro-Man still refuses to obey, so the Great Guidance, furious, uses a powerful beam to kill him. In his wrath, he also uses the Cosmic Ray to ravage the planet, resurrect more dinosaurs and cause massive earthquakes, wishing to kill the humans and any other remaining lifeforms.

...And then, Alice's brother Johnny wakes up, apparently having hit his head and dreamed the whole movie. However, as he starts going home with his family, the Great Guidance suddenly appears on Earth. Three times.

Mitigating Factors?
First of all, yes, this is a Z movie... However, by Z movies standards, the plot does make sense, for the most part (except maybe the thing about the presence of dinosaurs...). And there are villains from other Z movies who managed to qualify, such as The Master from Manos: The Hands of Fate.

Also, even if the Great Guidance's physical appearance is pretty ridiculous, he is still treated very seriously within the film.

The other potential issue is that the ending seems to suggest that most of the movie was Johnny's dream. But, if I'm not mistaken, there have already been some stories revealed to be All Just a Dream that still had CM (for instance, the TV version of Episode of Chopper Plus: Bloom in Winter, Miracle Sakura), or even some stories that are fictional In-Universe, as long as they form complete and coherent stories.
Plus, after Johnny wakes up, the Great Guidance appears, which means that he's very much real. It's hard to know what the ending really means, maybe the boy had a prophetic dream or something, but one thing is for sure, the Great Guidance does exist.

BTW, even though he only appears in a few scenes, he's not a GDV. He's shown to be irascible, authoritarian, impatient, bossy, etc...

Freudian Excuse?
At one point, Ro-Man mentions that the reason he was sent to exterminate humanity is because the Ro-Mans are afraid that the humans may end up posing a threat to them. However, even In-Universe the characters call this bullshit and accuse the Ro-Mans of simply enjoying killing beings weaker than them. Considering they immediately decided to massacre humanity without even trying to check if they could live in peace with us, it's quite hypocritical of them to accuse us of being dangerous.

Furthermore, the Great Guidance is clearly portrayed as a brutal and ruthless individual who hates any living being capable of feeling emotions, so his reasons for wanting to wipe out all the humans come across as Fantastic Racism. Plus, there is the fact that he was planning to colonize the planet.

Also, even though the Great Guidance is some kind of alien/robot/monster thing, it's very clear that his species CAN feels emotions, including love, empathy, compassion or mercy, but the Great Guidance intentionally chooses to suppress them, and apparently forces the other Ro-Mans to do the same, because he thinks feeling emotions is a weakness.

Redeeming Qualities?
Nothing, he spends all of his scenes acting like a cruel, violent, merciless and domineering douchebag, who refuses to even consider leaving any human alive, and is willing to kill even members of his own kind for the slightest reasons.

Heinous Standard
While Ro-Man XJ 2 is the one who caused the extermination of humanity, he was acting under the orders of the Great Guidance. Also, the Great Guidance participated personally, notably when he took care of destroying the rocket and the space platform that contained the majority of what was left of humanity. More importantly, Ro-Man himself has some redeeming qualities, he sincerely falls in love with Alice and becomes incapable of killing her, and eventually develops second thoughts about his mission and the way Ro-Mans are supposed to act.

The Great Guidance does not, and even kills Ro-Man for the "crime" of feeling human emotions, before ravaging the entire planet that he intended to colonize out of anger. Which, BTW, makes him a massive hypocrite, as he himself clearly displays some very human emotions, not only anger and wrath, but also cruelty, impatience, and others.

In addition of being responsible for the extermination of all humanity, it seems like the Great Guidance is an oppressive tyrant who forces his own people to act as his robotic slaves and forbids them to feel any emotion, or else he will kill them. Without him, the Ro-Mans would probably be a much more peaceful species.

Verdict
If the dream thing isn't an issue, then I think that, Z movie or not, the Great Guidance can qualify. What about you, guys?

Yes to Deathstroke. No to Claire. I'll read Great Guidance later, but happy birthday, Mimic!

@ACW: Shouldn't we post the Kabukicho entries to the Sherlock Holmes page as well, under a new section? After all, it is a Sherlock Holmes work.

EDIT: to the Great Guidance; it seems too ambiguous whether or not the events of the movie actually happened, and characters from All Just a Dream scenarios actually cannot qualify.

to Jack and Milverton

Pothole suggestions:

• Milverton: Sexual Extortion at "sex"
• Roman Torchwick: Villain Team-Up at "teams up with Cinder Fall", The Heavy at "executes her schemes", Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters at "White Fang"
• The Albino: The Bluebeard at "murder on their wedding night"
• Bidithal: Evil Sorcerer at "High Mage"
• Jonah Grayer: He Knows Too Much at "revealed their true nature"
• Josef Mengele: Light Is Not Good at "Angel of Death"
• Alexei Nachrade: Cruel and Unusual Death at "torture people to death", Hostage Situation at "taking the airport full of people hostage"
• Lady Liliana: Bearer of Bad News at "bringing her a message"

And that's all I have for now

I'll do those tomorrow, but as the one who did him, I'm not sure that works for Mengele. He's not really "light".

....That trope Light Is Not Good only applies if the character has light / holy trappings. Pretty sure that doesn't apply to mengele.

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

Names to Run Away from Really Fast, then?

That's only if it's the characters actual name.

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

I will again rewrite Lucifer from Divine Comedy.

Original

• The Divine Comedy: Dis/Satan was once "the highest of all creatures", above every angel and man gifted by the Highest Joy with immortality, invincibility, super intelligence, and perfect happiness. However, Dis came to love his superiority to the lower angels and only that superiority, making the supremacy of his Father unbearable. In acting on this pride, he convinced his fellow angels and the first humans to rebel against the Love known as God. With his rebellion, the Devil introduced all the evil, suffering, and death that would ever be into the world while condemning any who followed him to Inferno, a realm where beings built for eternal Paradise have been corrupted into murderers drowning in the fiery blood of their victims and cannibals biting into the corpses of their children. With his angelic intelligence, Dis knew all of this would happen if he carried out his "arrogant rape", yet brought all of the tortures and crimes described in Inferno into existence without any remorse.

1) He is only called Dis once by Vergil while narration calls him Lucifer twice.

2) Only people drowning in blood are those who were murders and tyrants while they were alive. They weren't corrupted into murders.

3) No one eats corpses of his children in Inferno. Ugolino did that while he was alive.

People said they think the writeup is fine as it is.

Although, if the second and third things are inaccurate, I'm fine changing those.
