What Ever Happened to da Good Ol' Villains?

I look around these days and I see three distinct types of villain.

1. The Emo Bitch

This here's Akito Sohma. Sure he looks badass at first, but every time he opens his mouth it's to spill some bullshit about vengeance or cursing his fate. These guys are all about grudges like most other villains. The problem though, is that they do this VERY VERY loudly and with shitloads of angst and tears, and Blah Blah Blah CUT MY LIFE TO PIECES!!!

2. The Psycho

This here's Jin-e from Rurouni Kenshin. He is a psycho mofo who kills and kills and kills. Why does he kill? BECAUSE HE'S APESHIT CRAZY! These guys aren't cruel in the traditional sense. If they impale you on a stump, it's nothing personal. Side-effects may include twitching, random screams, non-emo self-inflicted damage, and funky-eyes.

3. The Conqueror

The dude in the back is that evil guy (one of them) from Excel Saga. He wants to conquer the city. Why? No one knows . . . This type of villain has some kind of compulsion to build an empire without end, making for rather lame character development.

These types are good and all, but they get boring quickly. I wanna see some more of the Hardcore Villain type!!!

Motive? What motive? These guys make your life fucking hell because they can. Sometimes bearing cold expressions and sometimes being arrogant, they strike without warning and fuck up anything that looks at them oddly. XD

Too bad this type of villain's scarse these days with most modern plots involving a "deep" yet rather shallow antagonist . . . T_T
