Favorite villans?

Post by Fossilgojir » Thu Jul 10, 2008 4:34 pm

I don't know if this has been done recently, but I looked as far as page three and didn't see anything, so......

Frieza, I think it was Rocketman who siad it something like "he was essentaly the guy who started the series by hiring the saiyans and sending Goku to earth." and I think that makes the final confrontation that much better.

DB Piccolo (original and reborn): It's satan, 'nuff said 8P, but I honestly think he makes a serious impact on the series, before him the main cast seemed invincible and there didn't seem like there was any real danger for them to face. (the pirate robot comes real close, but I think most knew Goku [I think that's who fought it, I can't remeber] would win in the end)

My favorite villain is Turles, there's just a lot of mystery about him.

Besides, who doesn't like a saiyan space pirate that may or may not be related to Goku. :D

I like how he's one of the few villans who didn't get a transformation! I think in the original version he comments on it a little, something like there arn't many kinds of saiyans or something like that.

Frieza is the villian I like the most because first off he wasnt created by dr. gero [as i list off the NUMEROUS villains on his behalf] and Frieza had held the saiyans down for who knows how long and I believe him to be more sinister than any of the others.

Din't se that coming 8P, but the big maniac does make a good movie villan, but he kinda wore out his welcome,IMO, by his third apperance, if you count that as the same chracter.

I also think that Cooler was a good villain. Broly, Cooler and Freeza are the best.

Broly was great in the first movie but i didnt like how they drew and 'colored' him in the second one, cant pinpoint it but he didnt look quite the same.

On a lighter note, i think its interesting how all the z fighters minus the half earthling/half saiyans started out as a villian or a 'bad guy'....even goku started out that way.

How was Goku a bad guy at first? He's the first character we see, Bulma was the one who started the threat/friend theme.

Goku's mission was to destroy the Earth. But he hit his head.

Broly was a pretty cool villain in movie 8; powerful, proud, and sadistic. It's the slobbering, screaming idiot that movie 10 turned him into that most people don't like.

Cooler is pretty gnarly too. Hard to argue with the pure badassery of his extra transformation, there.

Agreed, Cooler's final form is total badassness.

Goku was sent to destroy earth.
Bulma tried to shoot goku in the head and wanted the dragonballs for greed.
Krillin was Gokus rival in the beginning.
Yamcha was a desert bandit.
Tenshinhan was a Crane hermit student, as was chauotzu.
Piccolo wanted to destroy Earth.
Vegeta came to kill all the Z fighters.
Gohan, Trunks, and Goten were the half breeds and were good from the start.

Cell is obviously the greatest villain. He's like James Bond.

For Just the purpose of the show, I'm gonna go with Piccolo.

He was the first to kill Goku. Now that I think about it, EVERY time Goku died, he chose to. He told Piccolo to shoot through him and Raditz and he transported Cell to king kais planet to save everyone else.

But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

I always thought Vegeta was a great villain and a great hero. He was perfect villain because he was ruthless and willing to kill his opponents even if they couldn't fight back.

That's why to me Vegeta during the Cell arc makes no sense because he lets Cell become perfect when he should have just killed him like Dodoria and Kui, and Zarbon, Reccome, Burter, Jeece, Guldo, Pui Pui, and so on.
