If there is one thing that I have noticed about villains when people endorse them in the various communities that I have visited it is that they are all inherently stupider than the proverbial sack of hammers. Why is it that they always seem to stick to the usual cliches about world domination and destroying the human race in no particular order. They also frequently make assumptions about other pups that they meet and never take the time to properly flesh their villain out or properly research the myriad possibilities that a good villain can serve in any world. This is not to bash the idea of a villain, mainly just the short sighted morons who portray them as complete and bumbling idiots. I will not name anyone here, they wouldn't be able to take any kind of criticism with maturity and of course they have no idea who they truly are.
Don't get me wrong, I have met some villains that were pretty cool in their own right even here on LJ. Most of the good villains however seem to live in the GJ nexus, not here. Oh well, I suppose that the only reason that most of these creatures exist even now is because it just is not worth the effort to squish them like the insects that they are.
