I think the cops at the door prove something, I think you and I both know

Am I seriously the only fucking person who sometimes wants to be the bad guys in fiction and identifies with them sometimes? I just watch shit and think "I COULD DO A BETTER JOB."

Being the hero is over-rated, destroying villages and raising dark armies is where the fun's at.

Oh hell yes. If I had any power at all, I would be raising a dark army so fast everyone's head would be spinning.

or working on a power to actually make peoples heads spin....

I've decided that I pretty much want to be Zark, if I want to be anyone from that show.



LOL fuck yeah.

<3 Zark, he is the best vampire ever. I kind of want to be Doctor Dabree, because I like fat little women scientists who look like the Bride of Frankenstein. I think she coulda taken Napoleon and Illya if she had some decent henchmens.

Good henchpeople are just so hard to come by, though. Sometimes you just want to shake the evil geniuses and say, "Hey, come on, give them some health insurance and they're far less likely to betray you."

Company doctors aren't a good substitute, either. They're just as likely to use you for parts as they are to treat your job-related injuries. :(

I think Zark and Dabree could easily work on schemes together. She could get him off the bat thing and into doing something more useful. Seriously, he made a little thing to implant thoughts in people. She'd be into that, I bet.

Man, THRUSH really needs to find a better way to put their best minds into contact with each other. I think Zark is a little fixated on his bat-propelled radar-jamming system, but his real talents clearly lie in mind control. She could make his talents bloom!

I think all of us do. All of us cool kids, anyway. 8D

We're cool.

It's more fun to take no sides.

[identity profile] kleenexwoman.livejournal.com 2008-04-07 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Naaaaaaaah. You always end up taking sides eventually anyway.

1150 Appian Way, apartment C305, Mt. Pleasant, MI. my number is 248-974-3446. I don't think I have yours? Call me on Friday or Saturday or whatever and we can figure out stuff.

Ok! I'm calling you now so you have my number.

Not really, although for me it's politicians and certain historical personages. So I suppose it's pretty much the same thing.

I specifically enjoy fiction that is engineered to make you identify with a non-"good guy" character.

The Devil's Rejects is a nifty case of that-- there is no character you can feel genuinely good about rooting for or against.

So, uh, yeah, all the time.

[identity profile] kleenexwoman.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
I loved The Devil's Rejects for that.

Have you ever read/seen American Psycho? The main character is horribly unsympathetic--he's a psychopath and a serial killer--but everyone else in the book is actually even more horrible than he is.

[identity profile] superfinemind.livejournal.com 2008-04-12 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, although it was on one of my boys' watch lists for a long time. I should mention it to him again. I have heard lots of good things about it.

Have you seen Dexter? If not, do. Or read it (Darkly Dreaming Dexter). Or both.

[identity profile] kleenexwoman.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
I've heard of it mentioned very favorably, but haven't gotten a chance to read it or watch it yet. Is that the one about the "good" sociopath? It sounds intriguing.

[identity profile] superfinemind.livejournal.com 2008-04-13 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Serial killer working only for good, would be more correct. But yes, probably it's the same one?
