Jean Valjean Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Can I talk about Makuta's merits as a villain within literature as a whole. Actually, I can, and he does stand high in the list of villains that I love for sheer enjoyment. Every once and a while, it's fun to have a Big Bad who's just plain evil, and he was really fun, especially with the persona that set him up in 2001-2003. It's unique and has this occult, Halloween-ish feel to it that I really relish. He certainly needed more attention from mainstream culture, and I would love it if DC somehow found ways to use him again, because if somehow he was brought into Superman's universe he would probably be one of the more interesting comic book villains of all time, especially with his 2001-2003 persona. I would rank him in my personal top five of DC villains.24601 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZOMBI3S Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Teridax is pretty sweet, but in my mind in order to be a really good villain, you have to hate him. I almost rooted for him a couple times, so in that case, Grima Wormtongue from lord of the rings wins over Teridax Quote REVIEW TOPIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hexann Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Teridax is THE greatest villian, he was a total mystery, extremely manipulative, cunning, and unlike other villians he ACTULLY reached his goal without having it back fire on him(for eample the serpentine reached thier , but it backfired on them), sure he was stoped, but still.

Master Inika Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think Teridax is definitely in the top ten. I think he and Palpatine (probably better than Teridax) mirror each other a lot. In their respective storyline's opening years, they were just kind of stereotypical villains (back when they were just the Emperor and Makuta), but eventually, in almost a retcon, became these infinitely insane, scheming antagonists. Even the sub-villains of their storylines (like Dooku and Roodaka) ended up just being pawns in Palpy's and Terry's master plots. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Toa Cehk Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I don't know, there are many nice villains like Kefka from FFVI, Darth Sidious from Star Wars, Homunculus (Father) from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, Dr. Weil from Mega Man Zero and many others, so I can't decide who is the best.

Its like a domestic terrorism thing. Wait no, its like basic crime, very unorganized, one person.Teridax had the least cool death, though, which takes away serious villain points. He survived The Toa of Light, the most powerful warlords of all time, and generations of Toa, yet he was destroyed by a really big rock. FAIL. 1 Quote Comply. Create. Consume.

It was really odd because the bad guys won, and yet they didn't win. (The way they won played into the destiny of the universe and...) Probably need to reread that one sometime. It is a similar idea to Teridax's win, but yet not. But I don't think he was as successful as Teridax, because when he destroyed the universe he destroyed himself too.

One day there might be a movie marketed to teenagers and young adults rather then children that could portray him as epically as he deserves.

Takatu Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yeah, I thought his death was great, I dunno why people are calling it "just a rock."

The Legendary TNT Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) Yeah, he was defeated by essentially luck, timing, and teamwork. People forget that Tahu had to kill a legion of Rahkshi just to make him a little light headed. Then Mata Nui slammed him into a passing celestial object (see, it sounds cooler if you say it like that instead of "a rock" ). Also, the only reason it was passing by was because of the gravity blast that happened to strike the two moons. If it had been off bye just a little bit, it would have been much different.

Cratak Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 No, I didn't read through all of this topic's pages. So sorry.I wouldn't say he's the best villain ever, but I also wouldn't say any other villain is the best ever. He is one of my favorite, and I think that he could outthink and outplan any other villain, and he was motivated out of spite for Mata Nui, unlike the typical "take over the city" or "take over the world" bad guy. Also, I found it good for the story that he was killed, unlike countless other villains who never die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.:Yio:. Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Teridiax was most definetly the most awesome villian I have ever come across in terms of BOTH power and cunningness there is no equal out there. *Look at Hero Factory* Nup *Looks at DC Universe*. Defintely no*Looks at Marvel Universe*. Ok maybe Thanos is coming close. Or Doctor Doom. And Deadpool is a totally different version of evil One thing I don't like about Teridax's character. With all of these evil abilities, he still died. And whilst it was due to his arrogance and I suppose power might have gone to his head at that point, I still think he'd be more careful that getting himself mooned like that.

Velox Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Also Teridax is nothing compared to the Dark Knight's Joker (or DCU Joker) and Dark Knight Rises' Bane. This. So much this. And a bunch of other villains. Out of Bionicle villains...Teridax is pretty good. In terms of power, sure, he's probably the greatest. But in terms of personal opinion, I prefer The Shadowed One or the Dark Hunters. Then again, I'm probably basing most of that off of fanfiction (Lady Kopaka's Let the Flames Begin, anyone?), but still.

Takatu Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Isn't that kind of apples to oranges, though? I'll give you Bane, he's kinda similar, but the Joker is an entirely different beast. Kinda like comparing Moriarty to Vezon, other than being bad guys I don't see much to compare. I think it's important to remember that very rarely do you get a villain with a vision the scale and scope that Makuta had, which is partly why I think he's up there with the best of all fiction. Sure, there have been countless villains that have attempted world domination, but Makuta came up with a genuinely workable plan that wasn't just "hold the world for ransom with a ray gun" or something, and it was cleverer than just marching armies of evil over everything.Granted, I think a very important aspect of it all is that he was smart enough to not tell anyone the full details of it until he already succeeded.

NorikSigma Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You can't compare some villains together. Joker was just crazy, and what he wanted was not world domination. Makuta Teridax is by far number 1 or 2 in Bionicle. Maybe not in all fiction, maybe, but in Bionicle, yes,but he has close contenders, like TSO, and Tuna too, except Tuma's character was not well-developed enough. I find it poetic(as somebody mentioned a few posts back) he gets killed by a completely random rock. He is great as he has plans for everything, so I find a death by random space rock very fitting. He could plan for everything, but chance won him in the end. That, and an extremely OP Tahu blasting Rahkshi, amd Mata Nui's well-aimed push. So his death does not put his villain points too low in my eyes.I think his trade mark is his ability to plan well, and despite many set-backs he could put them aside and even use them as springboards for his eventual victory.

Sure, there have been countless villains that have attempted world domination, but Makuta came up with a genuinely workable plan that wasn't just "hold the world for ransom with a ray gun" or something, and it was cleverer than just marching armies of evil over everything.Granted, I think a very important aspect of it all is that he was smart enough to not tell anyone the full details of it until he already succeeded.Yes, he kept his plans secret to himself. I don't think even Antroz knew the full extent of it.And I do agree that the comparison isn't really fair in that sense. Character traits aside, not many villains want to become a universe.
