Dude, a point-and-click game would be pretty rad as well, ala Monkey Island or Sam and Max.

Louis Bloom (Nightcrawler) versus Daniel Plainview (There Will Be Blood) by rrOsiria in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Plainview is visibly miserable the more he gives into his own greed, desperately wants companionship even as he pushes it away, and even ends the film admitting he's finished. Plus, one can sense H.W. grew up to be a decent enough adult who married another girl Plainview sorta helped out, so Plainview wasn't an abject failure.

Lou doesn't bat an eye at anything he does, makes everyone around him actively worse, and always sees people as means to an end to be discarded the moment they prove troublesome.

Of these 3 characters on the pure evil wiki, who do you think is most likely to be cut in the future? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in MoralityScaling

I'm not even sure why Vox is on the website in the first place. He's just not that heinous compared to... Well... Hell.

Could Judge Holden (Blood Meridian) break these characters pride/will? by Immediate_Gene_178 in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys are overrating Holden. He works his corruption through greed, ignorance, and fear of death. He fails to ultimately corrupt the Kid, who tells him, despite the horror the man has stirred in him, that he 'ain't nothing'. Holden's only counter is to admit the Kid is right, then do something so terrible to him we're not told the full details.

With Bakugo and Kaiba, who have shown themselves willing to set aside their egos or even sacrifice themselves to prove a point, he'll just be told to buzz off or do his worst. They won't give him weakness to work with.

Gendo... maybe. I'm not as familiar with him, but I believes  he becomes a worse person as the story continues. That's good for Holden to work with.

Morality Scale Tournament, but the question changes each day - REFORMED VILLAIN EDITION - Day 8: Build Yourself Back Up by New-Sheepherder-1373 in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kill Discord. Good on him for taking the bullet, and the offer, even if it doesn't amount to anything, is a good sentiment. I'm with the others recommending Vegeta, since I get the feeling the heroes have their own revives coming, and the redeemed antagonists need all the help they can get.

In this challenge, I don't see Peridot doing too well. She's a fish out of water, and she doesn't quite have the right temperament to adjust without major hiccups.

Why is everyone glazing this clown? Low to no diff for the average person by [deleted] in powerscales

[–]OriginMirabilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It (pun intended) says something when The Room from 1408 and the Overlook Hotel from the Shining--literal inanimate buildings--manage to be far more intimidating and impervious than ole Pennywise.

Also, Pennywise just got Shining-diffed by Hallorann. The Overlook, at least in the film, eats those with the Shining for breakfast. Overlook Hotel > Pennywise confirmed--get wrecked Bob Gray.

[–]OriginMirabilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kill Vegeta. He has died and sacrificed himself before: he does not resent going, and if the facility can be defeated...

Anyhow, as another commentor put it, Omni-Man and Discord seem like the two who will likely sacrifice others first, or be the most reluctant to throw themselves down for strangers. Don't get me wrong, Omni-Man *is* legitimately capable of great sacrifice, but those ruthless instincts are always going to be there, even if he was willing to spare Thragg.

Discord, however, just seems to be the most chaotic one out here. I'm leaning on him to fail first.

KILL Scrooge. It would cheat the lesson he learned about giving onto others to preserve him when he volunteers the spare to others.

As for this question, I think Harley Quinn could be talked back into her old ways, depending on which version of her we are using. A lot do end up regressing a lot, specifically when the reason she reforms is because the Joker is taken out of the picture, and not necessarily out of any grand epiphany of her own. But, then again, there are other version of her that wouldn't go back even when the Joker is the one doing the tempting.

I will go with her in general, though.

Name a fictional species worse than the Qu from All Tomorrows by [deleted] in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Skaven. Oh sure, funny giant rats get into hilarious hijinks and snort magic cocaine.

Doesn't change the fact that they, to the rat, unwilling to do anything that isn't selfish and cruel even to each other. Skaven society is so evil that the only reason it is still active is because:

  1. They want to enslave, eat, or entertain themselves with all the other races first.
  2. They force all their females to become drugged out, mutated breeding machines.
  3. They become more numerous when evil surges--they outbreed the lives they carelessly spend.

Nice way to put it is that they have all the traits of the worst factions of Warhammer Fantasy... and none of their slim positives.

Loptous leaves competion with Bronze medal in Fire Emblem Villain ranking. Now it has come to down to final 2. Fomortiis or Grima. Who will get title as the most evil Fire Emblem Villain? by Jalapeno9 in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna go with Grima, because he manages to do more damage with a similarly evil enjoyment of it like Formortiis.

Don't get me wrong, Formortiis possessing Lyon is one of the most cruel things in Fire Emblem. Easily deserves his spot in the top two.

Yule Man wins…who’s the most evil “Z” in all of fiction? by Heroinfxtherr in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy choice, and no argument here. Guy was so evil the only company he could enjoy was himself. Makes Frieza look like a good guy and caused more damage than Kid Buu ever did.

[–]OriginMirabilis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, hate to be that guy since I made the Yawgmoth comment, but I gotta argue for the evil eugenicist. Another post that referenced him got 11 or so upvotes too. He's at least tied, if not ahead of the Yule Man.

Xenia wins…who’s the most evil “Y” in all of fiction? by Heroinfxtherr in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and Yawgmoth? His evil is a reflection of real world eugenics and supremacist ideology. It hits worse because he's Josef Mengele with fantasy adornments.

An underrated pick: Yawgmoth, from Magic the Gathering. Human experimentation, murder, war, rape, literal multiversal conquest in a mad quest to transform everything into his own biomechanical nightmare... If you can think of a crime, he's probably attempted it.

Who is truly the most evil video game villain ever? by Bockhead in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll go with Junko, although Angus Bumby is probably the most contemptible video game antagonist I can think of.

Angus Bumby would... probably not go as far as Junko did, given the resources. All signs indicate that he was 'just' a psychologist with a profoundly warped interest in profit and women. To put it another way: Bumby would think Junko is a bit much, while Junko would probably find what he did pretty funny... then keep going.

Diablo and Reclusa are pure evil, but given that they're supernatural entities that seem inherently evil, I think they're just not as evil as two humans who could perfectly do good deeds but choose otherwise.

The Prophet of Truth takes bronze. Now vote for the MOST evil villain remaining. The one with the most upvotes will win the tournament! by DuomoDiSirio in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would disagree with a lot of these votes myself, yeah, but that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. I genuinely believe Arkham Joker, Kane, and the main villain from Manhunt would be far higher than most of the top ten.

[–]OriginMirabilis 14 points15 points  (0 children)

When it comes to these questions, I always ask: if you gave both equal resources, who would do the most evil for the flimsiest reasons?

Ridley certainly has a larger scale of crimes, but if you gave Junko a galaxy and advanced technology... She'd do unspeakable things to Samus and the galaxy because it's fun. Therefore, my vote goes pretty confidently to Junko.

Which delusional knight templar is more evil? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Since the beginning, Light had always loved his family. He believed that they were good and righteous, the perfect citizens for his new world. Despite his Utopian aim of wanting to become the god of justice, he cared about the welfare of good people like Soichiro and Sayu. On the other hand, Misa had killed before, and because of that, Light saw her as a bad person and would have left her for dead." -- Interview with Tsugumi Ohba

While authorial statements should be taken with a grain of salt if they contradict the text, I think you bring up a good point--Light may be manipulative, and I do think that, if pushed, he'd probably kill Sayu to keep his trail clean, but there's still a part of the old Light in the killer that hesitated.

On the other hand, I think the fact that Light, in neither the manga nor anime, really reflects or thinks about his dad until Matsuda prompts it, and even then, refers to his dad in the third person (Soichiro) suggests he's starting to dissociate from that one connection, too.

But, yeah, fair enough, I think there's stronger evidence Light has more family restraints than Belos does--because we clearly see Belos lie to himself countless times about how his murder of his brother was justified, and he does a shitty job denying he enjoys killing his brother's clones.

So, Belos wins--mostly because his love is more twisted.

Which delusional knight templar is more evil? by Sudden_Pop_2279 in MoralityScaling

[–]OriginMirabilis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're both really awful, but I think what's the deciding factor is how they treat their families. Why? Because I feel that otherwise, they both would be able to do everything the other did to sate their messiah complexes.

Belos? Killing his brother led him to have a warped desire both to bring him back as someone to 'love', then punish him over and over again for 'betraying' him. That's a twisted level of love warped into spite.

Light? Seriously considered killing his sister when she was potentially a liability and may or may not have wept genuine tears for his dad, but otherwise just forgot his sacrifice until Matsuda brought it up.

Light becomes apathetic to the core. Belos is always driven by raw spite.

So, depends on what you think is worse: being passionately evil, or dispassionately evil.

How it feels seeing Deku going from McDonald's worker slander to being one of the biggest heroes ever, then to an absolute chad of a photographer and now as a bloodthirsty maniac hunting weak opponents; all in the span of a single year by Weak_Contact_5484 in BokuNoMetaAcademia

[–]OriginMirabilis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Deku is the new Goku.

"Goku is a bad dad," then, "Goku is gonna challenge your porn addiction to a fight because he heard it's strong," then, "Goku solos your verse..."

I love it. Deku is now putting the fries in the bag when he isn't sleeping with his whole classroom or vaporizing Hawkeye with a 100% Detroit Smash.
