barbecued
I was going to type a big thing about Knives (from Trigun) that kept me awake last night and my opinion of him, but I'm too lazy to type up all the details.
So the gist of it all is this:
Knives is the absolute scariest anime villain I have ever encountered. He scares the bejeezus outta me. He makes me fear for my life. I do NOT want to be stuck in a room alone with him. Unlike other scary murderous villains (like Muraki *hugs*), I don't like Knives AT ALL. I am just plain frightened of him. Methinks his theme music has a part in it.
Because I am sad, I then went even further with Knives:
1. Despite having more or less the same goals, Knives is even scarier than Demona (from Gargoyles), at least for me.
a) For some reason, I don't fear Demona nearly as much. I figured it was because Knives is a Plant, so he has the Angel Arms thing and can twist you into a human pretzel by just touching you. Demona comes close though, when she's aiming a bazooka at your head.
b) Demona wants to get rid of us for revenge and she blames us as the cause of all her troubles, but there's a LOT of self-denial mixed in there too. So the basis of her hatred is somewhat faulty(?). Knives just HATES humans. He calls us "useless, resource-wasting trash". What's so frightening is that he's pretty much correct.
So yeah, me no get enough sleep.
