It is a tie between the Joker, and Dr. Doom.
In grade school; I wasn’t just a class clown, but a freedom fighter.
Like the Joker with Mark Hamill as chaotic neutral
I wanted to be the dictator of my own country like Dr. Doom. I also like that he was super-smart. I wanted to be super smart too.
V.I.L.L.A.I.N.
Sorry folks. Fat fingered it.
Yeah, probably the new Joker. When life beats you down time after time. When people fail you time after time. When you get up putting on a smile every morning and try and just keep losing. Then you fall apart, or scream or throw a fit and everyone notices that, but never cared while you were falling.
I relate on an emotional level even though this is not my experience. People disappoint me greatly and always have with their choices. I empathize with the character.
That being said, the people that inspire me really aspire to be good, loving people. Not perfect, but they try so much harder than other people to live a life they can be proud of.
@RedDeerGuy1 Really? Good for you, getting that handled internally and not being destructive.
@RedDeerGuy1 That’s one of the things that interests me about abnormal psychology. How some of us keep fighting that emotional desolation and others give in to the anger, like mass shooters.
You are welcome, I admire people who fight for their own sanity. I know just from your posts here that you are a fighter, like with soda and finances and your mental health. Admirable, sir.
I heard a saying.
Bad times make good men and good times make bad men. I grew up in the both the good and bad times. I could swing either way from how I was raised by family and schools. When I was a toddler I had my own swing set at my grand parents house. My mom treated me very well and supported me when I needed it. The rest of the family seemed distant unless they wanted to torment me or tease me.
My grandpa allways had home made beef stew that I could have anytime because I was a ‘growing boy’ . Helped me during my growth spirt to make it to 198cm.
Some choice books helpes me in university.
“A Course in Miracles ”, “a guide to Emotional Intelligence ” and “Creative Visualisation” also all of rhe novels and Dungeons and Dragons handbooks gave me a framework in judging good from bad and simple to better.
I guess I’ll say Darth Vader. Intelligent, scheming, intuitive, imperious, dreaded, nearly irresistible but mysterious powers, bows to almost no one, has his own style, speaks entertainingly with contemptuous authority, a force of one with a sword, takes matters into his own hands, flies around the galaxy in giant warships, plenty of minions, feels no need for safety railings, not concerned with public opinions or much of anything. What’s not to love?
I relate to Darth Vader as an icon of intentional evil villainy and doubtful possibility of redemption or forgiveness, which has actually seeped into my own morality in the form of that which I dread to judge myself as. That is, when faced with a moral dilemma, I realized that I was paralyzed from taking the hard choice I probably needed to, by the underlying idea that if I did, part of my feelings felt like it might judge myself as being “like Darth Vader”, if found myself saying to myself.
Red Grant in From Russia with Love and I don’t really care for Bond films I think he’s hot.
Q on Star Trek Next Generation was one of my tv favorites.He was amusing and wore a jaunty hat. I love a good, jaunty hat.
Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast was really scary and bad.
I’ve never heard anyone discuss the movie. I thought it was obscure but I see now he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor Oscar.
Sonny Corinthos from General Hospital. He’s been described as: THE BAD BOY WITH A GOOD HEART. He may be a mobster but he takes out the bad guys that try to hurt their city.
Movie wise it’s Mel Gipson’s bad guy character from the movie: “PAYBACK.”
