Palpatine is still one of the best villains ever.

I read that as "Palutena is still one of the best villains ever".

 

[TewnLeenk]

To be honest with ya, it's not working.

I'm just jokin' you goof

 

[Morbi]

So what you're saying is.....
....Batman's a villain.


Got it.

Obviously it does not apply to everything, was that not the point you were trying to convey in the first place? The devil's advocate is Strong with you. I have to commend you for it.

If I were to play a role in a movie, it would be for animation. I'd most likely be a supporting or side character. Possibly a dense protragonist in a television series. I wouldn't mind playing an antagonist once in a while either...I'm down to play almost any role.

 

[Morbi]

Using popularity as a means to measure quality has always been a fallacious argument. There has never been any correlation between popularity and quality.

Though some things become popular because they are good, but there's a lot of popular stuff that is mediocre at best.


Antagonist isn't necessary a villain. Antagonist is the one who opposes the protagonist. A villain is an evil character.

There are stories with villainous protagonists (and often also having a heroic antagonist). A good example is the manga/anime Death Note.

I never stated that they were; I asserted that they were synonymous.

You should have read it as Palpitoad.

Synonymous words are words that share the same meaning or concept.

Villain and antagonist are not synonymous, though they usually overlap. Like I said, there are stories where the protagonist is the villain and the antagonist is heroic.

The protagonist is the central/main character of the story and the antagonist is a character who opposes the protagonist. While it's more normal to have an heroic protagonist with a villain as the antagonist, it's not always the case.

There's also those movies who can't decide who the Protagonist and Antagonist are.

Seriously? Okay, I suppose the definitions of words can be misconstrued if you try hard enough. The key aspect of the phrase that you were looking for was "concept" once you look up "antagonist" you would find SIMILAR concepts. I never asserted that they were the same, I quite literally stated that I asserted the antithesis of that notion in the post prior to this one.

I do not mean to sound pretentious, but I understand the definition of the word. You do not need to correct me; if you do not agree, fine. I cite the dictionary, it is my best friend.

 

[Substitution]

He didn't even find that DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald.
You expect him to have found the computer room?

Well, I was just curious.

 

[Kenith]

I played one level of that game with my brother. After we beat the first level we took to disc onto our driveway and ran it over with my car. CURSE YOU SHADOW! MAY YOU NEVER STAR IN ANOTHER GAME EVER AGAIN!

Disclaimer: I actually love Shadow The Hedgehog, it's one of my favorite Sonic games.

Well, this is confusing...

Really, it is. Excuse me for the bluntness, but sometimes I have no idea of what the hell are you trying to say when posting. It would be easier if you used simpler phrases.

 

[Substitution]

Welp, there's a storm system coming my way.
So I might be gone for quite a while.

It is fine, I apologize for not being more concise.

East cost? I hear it.

 

[Substitution]

East cost? I hear it.

Yep. And it's a severe one. So that'll be fun.

 

[Kenith]

@ Substitution I've been lucky in that I haven't had any thunderstorms this summer...yet.

Good luck!

Ah I didn't catch that. I'm not a fan of that game, but I'm glad you enjoy it

I wish I had a thunderstorm.

I love thunderstorms.

Hurricane Arthur is currently passing over me. It's raining pretty hard

Though, I'll admit I'm more worried about Hurricane Arthur at the moment.

So I've heard.
Can't wait, it seems to be hitting us. And if the last hurricane we got said anything. It won't be good.

I wish I had a thunderstorm.

I love thunderstorms.

Personally, I hate them.
It could just be me being a worrywart, but I always expected the worst with them.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I wish I had a thunderstorm.

I love thunderstorms.

Do you like thunderstorms?
Do you like hail?

Come to Colorado.

There's decent Mexican food too.

 

[PSIguy89]

we just got a purty good thunder storm here in NH, Arthur I believe will be coming through tomorrow on the 4th of july ofcoruse... im working anyways so I don't particularly care

 

[Kenith]

Hurricane Arthur?

By the power of Excalibur, I shalt rocketh thee like a hurricane!

 

[praline]

If I were to make an appearance in a film; I would want to be in a horror movie, preferably a "slasher." I could be the token African American that is the first victim to get brutally murdered. I would also want the other characters to allude to my death as the result of a hate-crime. My friends (this movie is fiction) would reminisce about my time as a street-smart thug growing up in a violent neighborhood. The police investigating would comment that it was to happen eventually given my addiction to crack cocaine and tendencies to prostitute. It would be glorious.

Edit- This was seriously my 10,000th post? I love you, me!

I'd be probably the stuck up ***** that dies immediately afterwards.

[Phaazoid]

This is more than thunderstorms

It's hurricane Arthur, or something.

 

[Deleted member]

Well, I was just curious.

I know.
I just needed an excuse to make the DAMN fourth Chaos Emerald joke and it be relevant.

I never stated that they were; I asserted that they were synonymous.

Not really.
"Antagonist" is defined as a person who actively opposes or is hostile to someone or something; an adversary.

"Villain" is defined as a character whose evil actions or motives are important to the plot.

A villain can be an antagonist, and an antagonist can be a villain, but the two are not synonymous words.
You argue that the definitions aren't absolute. You could be right, but "antagonist" focuses on the opposition factor of the character while "villain" focuses on the evil factor of the character (as well as their plot significance).

I would be the guy that turns out to be the monster all along.

Well, I'm getting a lot of thunder that for sure.

Well atleast i'd outlast Morbid.

Your avatar reminds me that I let my sister choose all the names for my latest Nuzlocke. My trainer's nickname is Mo Weezy

 

[Phaazoid]

Man, such weather we're having

so much weather

 

[Substitution]

You know, the funny thing is we were talking about weather not too long ago.
It's like foreshadowing in some strange way.

 

[Kenith]

Well atleast i'd outlast Morbid.

You would be the somewhat likeable chick who runs away screaming for most of movie and lets her friends die, but then decides to man up towards the end and fight back with the monster and ultimately kill him using conveniently placed environmental hazards.

Then it turns out your other friend was also the monster. The end. I win.

 

[Sehnsucht]

My role would be the disquieting atmosphere of the movie itself.

 

[TheFirstPoppyBro]

Hurricane Arthur?

Are you sure it isn't this Arthur?

Spoiler

I always assumed you'd be more the demonic force pulling the strings.
