User blog:BeholderofStuff/Villains I Don't Like But Other People Do

A while ago, Dreadnine did his own little list of villains he doesn't like but others do. So I've decided to compose my own in no particular order. Some might even mirror his. And keep in mind everything I write is opinionated.

Angelus-Yeah...sorry Jester. A few users might be shocked by this considering I labeled him my #1 favorite villain of all at one point. But after thinking of him more and more, I've liked him less and less. Now there are still good things to his character. The way his character parallels Angel is somewhat unique. And David Boreanaz does look like he's having fun. I've seen him in interviews and as weird as it sounds, I think i see more of him in Angelus than Angel. Althought I think he can be a little over the top at times when Angelus gets angry. But overall, he's a decent watch. And yes, he did take Buffy down a much darker road than fans were used to. But the bad, good lord. First off he was set up by other characters as being this ultimately vicous creature, and having this cunning personality with a nack for psychological torture. First off, he doesn't take any of his opponents seriously to the point that he gets defeated or they escape. For example, when Buffy is making the decision to kill him or not, he brags about how she can't do it, and practically lets her kick him the crouch, causing him to fall to the floor in pain like a little bitch. Yes, the most vicious creature The Master ever met just gave into a crouch kick. Facepalm. In flashbacks, he's constantly running from other vampire hunters and in Angel,when he escapes from his cell, he simply knocks out "Cordy" and lies to Wes, Gunn, and Connor that he's gonna "save the world" just so he can leave the hotel and kill. What the...? You coward, you're supposed to have the same mind and fighting skill as Angel! I strongly believe that if Angelus put all the fighting skills Angel has (which he should have btw, they have the same mind) into the good guys, they would be dead. No i don't want them to die, but at least make him a more worthy opponent.I mean he runs away ALL THE TIME!!! When he attacks Buffy in "Killed By Death" he runs aways when her friends put a blanket over him and hit him. Second of all, he doesn't even subject Buffy to that much psychological torture. The only two things he does is turn one of her classmates into a vampire so she'll have to kill her (who only showed up for that one episode and as far as I know didn't know Buffy that well, which makes it hard for me to care) and kills  Jenny Calender. Now while killing Jenny IS a major plot point, that's the only big thing he does. After that, he's not even painted as a main antagonist of a couple episodes and is just sort of there to show up, and out of nowhere, descided to send the world to hell. Uh...why again? Yes I know he's a saidst, but what about all that gloating about how he's gonna break Buffy just like Drusilla? It seems out of nowhere and a bit of a lazy way to build of the conflict of the show as well make his character more "savage". Also, TV Tropes lies to you. Angelus did not turn Holtz' daughter into a vampire so he would have to kill her. Darla did.Yes he killed his wife and son, but the most heinous part of the act was not done by him, sadly. And when Angelus is brough back in Angel, Season 4, he goes from Hannbal Lector to being a complete man child!! He is the worst excuse for a cold blooded killer. He becomes a pawn to Jasmine, and, like I said before, doesn't try to kill when he has the chance. Funny, Angel said if he were Angelus, his friends wouldn't be alive. Yeah because he'd TALK THEM TO DEATH!!!!!!! I personally feel Dracula is more of what this guy should have been, a seductive, sophisticated, cold blooded killer.
