Faux Affably Evil: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

** Tsukishima, in contrast to his [[Card-Carrying Villain]] partner, {{spoiler|Ginjo}}. He acts polite and serene almost all the time, even while he [[Mind Rape]][[Zalgo|s]] people with [[Fake Memories]]. When someone {{spoiler|suffers a mental breakdown due to conflicting memories}}, the facade drops, revealing a sadistic monster.

* Gargoyle from ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]''. He's willing to kill anyone so that his plans could go accordingly, yet he is so polite and refined towards his foes. Especially with Nemo and Nadia (who he calls Princess).

* ''[[Trigun]]'''s [[The Dragon|Legato Bluesummers]] does a bit of this, although he is as freaky-evil as possible in his first meeting with ''Vash'', specifically.

* ''[[Trigun]]''{{'}}s [[The Dragon|Legato Bluesummers]] does a bit of this, although he is as freaky-evil as possible in his first meeting with ''Vash'', specifically.

** The anime version of [[Big Bad|Knives]] does a bit of this whenever interacting with Vash. Notably, his cheerful "yo, Vash!" upon their reunion in July, while sitting on a desk next to the just-murdered corpse of its owner, whom Vash was coming to visit. A similar but [[Evil Is Stylish|more elegant]] friendly greeting appears when Vash arrives for the final battle. However, because this demeanor only applies to his brother, and because he would probably not do anything ''to'' said brother if Vash just got out of his way, this may be more of a single-target [[Affably Evil]].

* Johan, the title character of ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', has this as his specialty. He charms, he smiles, he seems to ''care'' and he's such a beautiful and brilliant young man... as he uses you and kills you and if he takes enough of an interest in you, he will probably take the time to kill all your hopes and dreams, first.

Line 58:

** During his time as king of Gotham's criminal underworld, the Black Mask had some great lines. Considering he built his empire on a [[Atop a Mountain of Corpses|mountain of corpses]], and his ''hobby'' is torture, a lot of it [[Crosses the Line Twice]].

** James Gordon Jr. is a very well-mannered and thought-to-be-rehabilitated psychopath. Is also a very recent villain.

* The [[Daredevil]] villain Bullseye. He may be a [[Psycho for Hire]] with few redeeming features, but he does love to [[Deadpan Snarker|quip]].

* The ''[[Daredevil]]'' villain Bullseye. He may be a [[Psycho for Hire]] with few redeeming features, but he does love to [[Deadpan Snarker|quip]].

* Yanno, [[Deadpool|I]] have always been [[Crazy Awesome]], but I vary between being a [[Noble Demon]] and being Faux Affably Evil, depending on my current state of sanity/[[Depending on the Writer|writer]]. It should be noted apropos the page quote (now former page quote, screw you, Tropers! Vengeance will be mine), when [[Nolan North]] voiced me, he played a [[Composite Character]] version, with the personality and dashing good looks of Deadpool in the main universe (in which my morality and sanity varies) and the motivation of [[Ultimate Marvel]] Deadpool (in which I am a [[Cape Busters|Cape Buster]] and straight up villain).

* [[Mad Scientist|Dr.]] [[Evil Albino|Finitevus]] from [[Archies Sonic the Hedgehog]] comics is one of the most urbane characters you'll ever meet - it also happens that his main goal is to "[[Omnicidal Maniac|purify the world in flames.]]"

Line 64:

* Mr. Hyde from ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'', whilst not evil, is a perfect example of this with his [[Blue and Orange Morality]], frequent [[Shoot the Dog|dog shooting]], and his [[Poisonous Friend]] attitude. The most notable example of this is where he maintains a polite demeanor, observes the London cityscape, and discusses how lucky and chipper he feels {{spoiler|whilst he pummels and rapes Griffin because he assaulted Mina}}. This is then further added to in a later scene, where he maintains a conversation even when he notices that {{spoiler|he is covered in the gradually appearing invisible man's blood (due to his recent demise)}}. Hell, he even deserves bonus points considering that, upon seeing the horrific aftermath of the above event, [[You Do NOT Want to Know|Captain Nemo tries to kill Hyde in disgust]] whilst Hyde [[Psycho for Hire|continues eating his dinner.]]

* Most of The Trust and the veteran Minutemen in [[100 Bullets]], with the exception of Wylie Times who is [[Affably Evil]] and Jack Daw who [[Jerkass|doesn't even try.]]

Line 72:

** His other [[Original Character]] Alexander Sovereign comes close, as he can talk about a grand war that would make the first two look like child's play, all while speaking in a polite tone. The only reason he bypasses this is because he has no emotions to begin with.

* The dark wizard [[Smug Snake|Lung]] from ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'' starts out seemingly polite, if a bit condescending. Then he starts torturing Jade in order to try and break her to his will.

== Films -- Animated ==

* Rumpelstiltskin in ''[[Shrek]] 4-Ever After''. Right up until his victims sign the [[Deal with the Devil|Deal With The Devi]][[Zalgo|l]], he is all politeness and sweet talk. Then he laughs manically at their doomed fate.

** Fairy Godmother from Shrek 2. She might seem like she wishes to help others, but in reality she's a vile opportunist.

* Lotso Huggin Bear from Toy Story 3. When he first meets Andy's toys (or former toys, anyway), he seems like he's very friendly bear whose welcoming towards them. He helps show them around Sunnyside. When you first watch the movie, you think that he's sweet and lovable. But his true colors eventually show when he brainwashes Buzz into becoming his servant. It turns out that he's turned Sunnyside into a toy prison, where the toys in question would suffer a horrifying experience in the Caterpillar Room, where they'll eventually be broken by the toddlers that go there every day. He's widely considered to be Toy Story's most horrifying villain.

* Rothbart from ''[[The Swan Princess]]'' - he killed the king and kidnapped the titular princess in order to gain control of the kingdom - ''because he learned the first time around that stealing it was not the way to go'', and constantly remains one step ahead of the heroes - if not for blind luck, the main characters would be dead. He's also a [[Deadpan Snarker]] of sorts and never loses his temper.

* Many [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney villains]]:

*** In [[Recycled: the Series|the TV series]] there's Mozenrath, Disney's most charmingly diabolical teenager. "Okay, then. Everybody else expires at dawn, while I blow away Agrabah. Then, say, noon-ish, I return and devise some way to destroy you."

** Gaston of ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'', though he's actually well-liked in his village. He stops being affable once he discovers that Belle had apparently fallen for someone else (the Beast) and tries to murder him.

** And then, of course, there's the magnificent, ''~~marvellous~~'' [[Cloudcuckoolander|Mad]] [[The Sword in the Stone|Madame Mim]]!

** And then, of course, there's the magnificent, ''marvelous'' [[Cloudcuckoolander|Mad]] [[The Sword in the Stone|Madame Mim]]!

** [[Disney]]'s ''[[Hercules (1997 film)||Hercules]]'' has Hades as its Faux Affably Evil [[Big Bad]]. He talks like a [[Honest John's Dealership|used car salesman]] and makes wisecracks while screwing over everyone as much as possible.
