			<description><![CDATA[Its like how Richard III could have been a smashing guy, but rumours and a certain (excellent) play have tainted his image. Although, forensic evidence [i]has[/i] proven he was a hunchback. 

A lot of my favourite villans are historical figures who could have been pleasant individuals really. Salieri is another example...]]></description>

Caligula did a lot of evil and messed up things, but I never heard of that one. [spoiler]I believe he ate some cats, but not his son. He might've. I'm not sure.[/spoiler][/quote]

[spoiler]Yeah, he thought he was a god, so in true Kronos style he decided to each his unborn child to prevent it becoming more powerful than him. He also kicked his pregnant sister to death, I do believe.[/spoiler]

As stated before, we're not 100% certain of anything, and the remaining accounts of Caligula could come from the smear campaigns of the time. We just don't know.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[spoiler]Yeah. That happens in the show too. I didn't want to spoil it because its the most disturbing part of the show - which is saying a lot considering all the messed-up things that happen. But its a 70's BBC production, so there is hardly any actual gore.[/spoiler]

Of course, with Caligula living so long ago, there aren't that many reliable sources that prove how much of a perverted lunatic he was. This is mostly because scholars from the middle ages literally wrote on top of Roman parchment - sort of like how the BBC 'taped over' loads of their old shows to save money, hence why there are so many lost episodes of Doctor Who.

For all we know, Caligula could have been a lovely chap. But that would have been boring...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If I may use this oppourtunity to alter my list slightly: 

[b]Heroes:[/b]
1. Don Quixote 
2. Atticus Finch (from [i]To Kill a Mockingbird[/i])
3. Ed Wood
4. JC Denton (from [i]Deus Ex[/i])
5. Captain Picard 

[b]Villains:[/b]
1. Salieri (from [i]Amadeus[/i])
2. Richard III
3. Big Brother (from [i]1984[/i])
4. Livia and Caligula (from [i]I, Claudius[/i])
5. Malcolm Tucker (from [i]The Thick of It[/i]) 

I couldn't decide between Livia and Caligula. Livia poisons everyone she meets and, like Malcolm Tucker, pulls incredibly illegal strings to stay in power for as long as possible (though, Malcolm never murders anyone). And Caligula is completely insane. Like...imagine if the Joker was a Roman Emperor.

Seriously though, if you have any interest in television drama, watch [i]I, Claudius[/i]. I have no idea how to describe it...just watch it.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This is a toughee since there are so many good heroes and villains to chooses from. These are some that I definitley rank highly.
Heroes: Batman, Jason Bourne (if he's actually considered a 'hero'), Indiana Jones, Jonny-Bob (see Squid's film [i]How to Not Rob A Bank[/i].)

Villains: hmmm............ Christopher Nolan's "Joker," Col. Tavington of [i]The Patriot[/i], and the original Khan. Those are the big-boys. I also like Darth Vader; Sauron is noteworthy, except that you never actually see him; and, maybe, the Alien (though I've never seen any of the "Alien" movies).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, it's not official, but an anti-hero, while possessing some less than desirable traits, and more often than not being willing to kill, actually still has some form of morality and attempts to save the world/combat evil.

Basically, it's a protagonist, but with a bunch of bad traits, who is still show as 'good' despite those things.

Guys like Punisher, Jason Todd, Daredevil and Batman, (To a small degree) and others.

And no, there aren't anti-villains. ;)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[[quote=Rockydude411Bricks](He isn't really a villain, more of a anti hero, but, whatever)[/quote]

I've only ever seen the term anti hero used very recently.  What exactly separates an anti hero from a villain?  Are there also anti villains?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I seem to be the one who can't make up his mind. I like ominous/morally ambiguous characters more than the evil and good contrast. So my favorite morally ambiguous character is.... Edmond Dantes/The Count of Monte Cristo.

I haven't seen the movie, but I have read the book and it was fantastic!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I actually prefer people who are neither. I like 'everyman' characters who are just trying to live their lives but get thrust into a conflict. Basically: I love characters who aren't [i]trying[/i] to be heroes or villains. People like Winston Smith, Sam Lowry, Oliver Tate, and Arthur Dent are compelling because they are not good or evil - they are just human. I also like characters who are supposed to be the hero, but keep refusing - people like Garret from the [i]Thief[/i] series, and Rincewind from the Discworld book series. 

I also love people who are not villains, but are just loveable jerks. This includes people like Basil Fawlty (from [i]Fawlty Towers[/i]), Otto (from [i]A Fish Called Wanda[/i]), Zarphod Beeblebrox (from [i]A Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy[/i]) and everyone Bill Murray has ever played. 

Also, where do I put people like Charles Foster Kane, Dorian Gray (from [i]The Picture of Dorian Gray[/i]), Barry Lyndon, Stanhope (from [i]Journeys End[/i]), Victor Frankenstein (the book version), or Miss Jean Brodie (from[i] The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie[/i]) - the book, not the film)? These are characters who began as heroes but can no longer be classified as such. 
 
Honestly, one of my favourite characters ever is Adolf Hitler from[i] Downfall[/i]. Its extremely disappointing that no-one remembers this movie apart from the 'Hitler Reacts' scene, because its sublime. With the over abundance of two-dimensionally evil Nazis in literature/film/TV/games, its surprising to see something acknowledge that the Nazis were actual humans and not robots from outer space, and even more surprising that - whilst the film doesn't make Hitler sympathetic - the film makes us try to understand Hitler in his last days alive. What I like even more is that when Hitler dies, the film keeps going - because everyone seems to assume that Hitler was like a Sauron when in reality he was just a solitary human with disturbingly twisted morals who somehow gained power. He doesn't count as a villain, but he's obviously not a hero. 

[b]Heroes:[/b] 
1. Alonso Quijano/Don Quixote (from [i]Don Quixote[/i])
2. Atticus Finch (from[i] To Kill a Mockingbird[/i])
3. Ed Wood
4. JC Denton (from [i]Deus Ex[/i])
5. Either Han Solo or Luke Skywalker (I can't pick my favourite. They are both compelling in their own different ways)

Runners up include: Ico and Yorda (from [i]ICO[/i]), Princess Mononoke, V (from [i]V For Vendetta[/i] - the book, not the crappy film that completely missed the point), The Man With No Name, and anyone Kurt Russell has ever played. 

[b]Villains:[/b] 
1. Salieri (from [i]Amadeus[/i])
2. Richard III
3. Big Brother (from [i]1984[/i])
4. Alex (from [i]A Clockwork Orange[/i])
5. GlaDOS (from [i]Portal/Portal 2[/i]) 

Runners up include: Nurse Ratched (from [i]One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest[/i]), Norman Bates (from [i]Psycho[/i]), Herr Flick (from [i]Allo' Allo'[/i]), Death (from the Discworld series), anyone Alan Rickman has ever played, and anyone Christopher Lee has ever played (including Lord Summersisle from [i]The Wicker Man[/i]).]]></description>
