Tom & Jerry

After watching cat abuse for so many years, I had really had it. I wanted Tom to slice that annoying little thing right open.

Any shows where you rooted for the bad guy?

Sadly, I rooted for The Joker but... I think I wasn't the only one. In a strange way I rooted for Kuze in Ghost in the Shell 2nd Gig. I enjoy the character Ada Wong in Resident Evil 4 even though she's possibly a villain.

Omar in The Wire. I don't know if he was a villain as such, but he did have a tendency to kill people. Quite a lot of people sometimes. But he was cool, and he had a code, and he took his Grandma to church. That kind of thing is enough to make up for the odd homicide or three. :)

I've caught glimpses of Inu Yasha. Enough for me to decide that he's a prick that deserves a beat down. So whoever his villains are. I want them to win. A lot. On his face

And pretty much any other cat-mouse combo from my childhood. Except Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam. Because humans are just plain dumb. And evil.

Also, any book (I recently finished Red Dragon) where you actually dive into the psyche of the antagonist and develop a sense of sympathy for them, where you can actually root for them when good things happen to them.

Oh and the MOTHER smurfING TRIX RABBIT. Jesus CHRIST. You could argue that he's not the "bad guy" but not even the chew toy-iest of butt monkeys from other shows go through what he goes through. I used to come up with fantasies about that poor rabbit slaughtering those kids. It's cereal! You got a whole damn box, you can share!

On United States of Tara, I wouldn't call Tara's alters necessarily bad guys, but one of her alter personalities is pretty sinister and is trying to control Tara and be the main personality. But she's so funny and 50's housewife charming that I can't help but love her!

When I was little, I usually wanted the Disney villain to win. I was so weird as a kid. I even got Scar and Simba toys so I could reenact the battle with Scar winning.

And Ursula, jeez. I always wanted her to come out on top. She was cast out of the kingdom for following her passion! It's not her fault she's talented at witchcraft! But she didn't lose sight of her goals. She got a princess to swallow her misogynistic bullcrap, sign an awful deal, and managed to swipe her voice at the same time. For the tiniest bit there, she succeeded and was queen, crown, trident and all. True, she fails at the end and probably shouldn't have made herself so huge. But she's not afraid to look like a fat drag queen, which I find inspiring. Ursula conforms for nobody!

The moral of the story is that, no matter how legitimate it may be, you don't have to honor deals if you change your mind later. And hell, if the person won't let you out of the deal, just drive a ship through her!!

An outcast she may be, but she did get everything she wanted perfectly legally, even if she did cheat a bit by ruining Ariel's chances with Eric as a human...

I can open them like that but it's harder for me to close the hands, it takes me a little bit to think about it. :/

Yes, oh god, yes.

Ditto.

And I always wanted the Cigarette Smoking Man to succeed on The X-Files. It's not like the aliens weren't going to invade anyway; he just wanted to survive it. Plus, he was such a sly badass.

Also, Team Rocket. There intros were so epic that they deserved something.

yes /\ what business is it of Ash's to just keeping messing up their work, they did it with such style that most the time they deserved the win for effort alone.

also I always wanted Drakken and Shego to murder Kim Possible from that disney show.

Ben from lost rules, and i did want Daniel and Charlotte to smash up the survivors camps as they treated them like crap even tho they were saving there ungrateful backsides from gas and stuff, but they weren't really bad guys it was just paranoia from Jack and co.

And i rooted for Davy Jones as well.

as a law student I can assure you there is nothing legal about that contract LMAO

Any alternate universe/timeline episode of Stargate SG-1 in which the bad guys basically seemed to have won. It was nice to see those "what if...?" scenarios and, knowing they weren't part of the main story, I would want to see as much bad :bou::bou::bou::bou: go down as was possible.

no he isn't. He's the main character but he's also a villain, all be it a down on his luck villain, thats whats cool about the character.
He does win, but doesn't get what he really wanted :(

I liked Delores Umbridge of the HP series. She may have been REALLY fucked up, but she was a total badass.

I also agree about the Tom & Jerry thing. I remember watching it a few times and Jerry would beat the crap out of Tom even when Tom wasn't making any attempt at eating Jerry. Come on, man.

Yeah, I'm glad his real death was so glorious. The whole staircase thing was so undignified. He deserved better.

Oh yeah, I've also always wanted Sideshow Bob to kill Bart, since he's my least favorite character on that show.

And I find the portrayal of Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films absolutely delicious.

Fran and Balthier should have turned at the end and set the Strahl to self distruct when they ditched the others Mwhahah
That would have been a twist and a half

(but seriously i don't mind that gang)
