A result of my bias. If there's one thing I love as much as movies it's comic books, particularly Spidey ones. But I think you'll like my next choice, LuDiNaToR.

Scott Pilgrim ahead of Darth Vader, Yoda and the Joker. Hmmm not sure I follow your logic there.

gandalf26
09-19-11, 09:16 PM
Like the last 2 picks. Palpatine was a good choice. After having Darth Vader for 2 films it was always going to be tough to create a master for Vader. I mean who is the boss of the Dark Lord? The Emperor is fantastic though and he payed the price for his lack of vision.
HitchFan97
09-19-11, 09:18 PM
Definitely the superior villain, IMO. I always loved the cunning, manipulatively evil quality he had.
gandalf26
09-19-11, 09:22 PM
Definitely the superior villain, IMO.
Definately the superior villain but not as Iconic as Vader. I mean the breathing noises, David Prowse bulk under the suit, James Earl Jones perfect voice, the Helmet and mask.
