New polls suggestions thread

[Wokistan]

Well Doctor Doom himself isn't necessarily totally cut and dry given the time he looked into all the possible futures and the only one where humanity survived was the one where he took control or something, but it's probably just easier to omit light

 

[Andytrenom]

This wasn't a philosophical debate about good and evil, this was a debate about what qualifies someone as a villain or a hero under the precedent of fiction. I honestly think people are just assuming the worst simply because we are discussing a topic related to morality

 

[Antvasima]

Well, it is also rather common that authors put the words of anybody who disagree with them in the mouths of unapologetic blatant villains who are villing to commit far more extreme acts than the original opinionmakers would ever do or intend, so that potentially complicates the issue even further, but this is the wrong place to pursue such a discussion.

 

[Torlikoff]

It could just be "Favorite Antagonist" instead of "Favorite Villain" to alleviate that issue.

 

[Wokistan]

Antagonist actually does have a different definition though. There are explicitly heroic antagonistic figures

 

[Torlikoff]

Yeah, but it still fits with most of the people lined up for the poll already.

 

[Antvasima]

Perhaps we could focus on if all the currently listed characters are iconic or well-known enough to be featured, or if some of them should be replaced?

 

[Antvasima]

So which poll should we use the next time? Favourite Shounen series?

 

[Wokistan]

We're already doing anime currently, wouldn't be be sorta strange to essentially do anime but more specific next

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Which of the polls listed in the first post do you think that we should use then?

 

[Wokistan]

I suppose we could do fav western franchise, to parallel the anime one that directly preceded it.

 

[The_Smashor]

Still upset the anime one didn't have JJBA

 

[Antvasima]

I suppose that could be an idea, although I would prefer to use "Favourite Shounen Manga/Anime series", since we omitted several of the most popular ones from the preceding poll. It seems more thorough to me.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

That sounds good

 

[Walker21232123]

Favourite animal

 

[Antvasima]

@Medeus

Thank you.

@Walker

I technically do not mind, as I like animals, although I am not sure if it fits the theme of this wiki, even though we have a The Real World page.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, and I think we had a better version of that poll a while back; something to do with various fictional animals species. Oh yeah, even the OP gives an example of that.

 

[Antvasima]

True enough, although again, I technically would not mind.

 

[Antvasima]

Something like this then?

Who do you think is the best villain?

Bowser

Cersei Lannister

Darkseid

Darth Vader

Dio Brando

Doctor Doom

Frieza

Ganondorf

Griffith

Hannibal Lecter

Johan Liebert

The Joker

Madara Uchiha

Marshall D. Teach

Sephiroth

Sōsuke Aizen

Thanos

Anyway, is it fine if I add this poll to the first post?

 

[Agnaa]

No Medaka Box in the shounen anime/manga list?

 

[Andytrenom]

It's because Medaka Box is irrelevant

 

[Antvasima]

It isn't really a shounen series. It consists almost entirely of many-layered extremely densely compressed symbolic metafictional and psychological narrative satire and deconstruction. It is almost like a genre of its own in that regard, or rather there isn't a conventional genre that fits for it.

 

[Antvasima]

Anyway, is the villains list acceptable to add?

 

[Andytrenom]

I kinda feel like it has too little video game villains, but apart from that I don't see any problems

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you. Do you have any suggestions for iconic video game villains? Akuma for example?

 

[Andytrenom]

Glados is the only one that really comes to mind right now honestly. I'm pretty sure there are others but I can't remember everyone atm

 

[Ogbunabali]

The Lich King is probably the most iconc MMO villain.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I will add The Lich King and Akuma to the list, and add the list itself to the first post.

 

[Starter_Pack]

I would like to suggest one more villain, if video game villains are being sought here.

Ridley

 

[Andytrenom]

While I only really suggested her because of her status rather than personal attachment, was there any problem with Glados?

 

[Starter_Pack]

I agree. While I'm not too knowledgeable on Portal, I know enough to say that GLADoS is a very notable villain in her franchise, and is very well known outside of it as well, what with all the memes and the songs.

 

[Walker21232123]

Favtiour Horror charaters Bendy Freddy Fazbear Ganny

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. I had never heard of Glados, but can add the character if you wish. Take note that only iconic villains should be included though.

 

[Antvasima]

Also, are the rest of you fine with if I use "favourite shounen anime/manga series" for the next poll, as a thematic follow-up to the current one, for completeness' sake?

 

[Starter_Pack]

GLaDOS is the primary antagonist of the Portal series of games. Which is not only one of the best-selling games from Steam, but is also well known generally across the internet, particularly with the "The cake is a lie" meme.

 

[AKM sama]

Also, are the rest of you fine with if I use "favourite shounen anime/manga series" for the next poll, as a thematic follow-up to the current one, for completeness' sake?

I would prefer something different this time, and leave this one for the next time. Having two similar polls back-to-back is not a good idea imo.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Should we use the "favourite villain" poll then, and use the "favourite shounen anime/manga" poll the month after that?

 

[Andytrenom]

I'm fine with the villains poll

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the input.

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Favorite Villain sounds great to me as well.
