Personally I think V3 is classic evil; powerful, brilliant, they make him a bit over the top later, but still he's got the villain thing down
-
Kind of a tie between Crayak and V3. They're just basically the two most villainous villains in the series.
-
David was pure evil and sick. The David trilogy was freaky.
-
Technically the Drode, but since he's just Crayak's puppet, Crayak gets the vote.
-
Well, the Drode could be a villain on his own, but I guess you're right. He does just do whatever Crayak tells him.
-
out of the choices, I like david best second are the howlers.
but because this is choosing our favorite villian I chose the one. I don't like to count david or the howlers as villians.
-
I gotta go with David. I kinda liked having a new threat to the Animorphs, someone other than the yeerks.
-
but because this is choosing our favorite villian I chose the one. I don't like to count david or the howlers as villians.
I understand how the howlers wouldn't be villains, but David was a villain. He was a traitor who knew a lot about the Animorphs. That's like the worst kind of villain. He was the Animorphs Benedict Arnold.
-
I didn't say he wasn't. I just said I don't like seeing him as one. ok what I'm saying is the reason I like david that much, the part I like about david, isn't the about him being a villian...that didn't make much sense did it?
ok...I just said I don't like seeing him as a villian.
-
I can understand that. Most people see a little of themselves in David. He is the anti-peggy sue. For 19 books kids dreamed of joining the animorphs. Then comes the David trilogy and there is a character that is an audience surrogate in a few ways. However, rather than being just another helpful member of the team, David reacts like anyone probably would in that situation. That is not to say that David wasn't a sadistic little creep. What I mean is that the audience sees that they are sort of David and that they would have done the same. This gets under their skin. They wish David hadn't made those mistakes because deep inside they know that they might have done just the same.
-
um...my heart's say yep, but my mind's saying you're only half right.
-
how so?
-

Oh, okay. I see what oyu're saying.
-
Visser Three I chose. Gotta love him... er.. hate him :P
I like the Howlers coz they are pretty cool.. but still I wouldnt choose them
Oh and Taylor's pretty bad ass. Love book 43, so sad, but a great book, she makes a good villain.
and David was a cool villanious character too..
-
The Drode is too funny ^_^ I like it because he's fun. Even if the baddest bad of the story is Crayak... But we vote for our favorite, and my favorite, I think in this list, is the Drode.
-
Taylor is a psychotic psycho-****; what's not to love?
-
visser 3 was probally one of the best
-
I actually thought the Drode was scarier than Crayak.
-
Oh sure steal my idea from RAF Classic. Lol...kidding, hehe.
My favorite is still, and will forever be Taylor. You can't beat blind, psychotic hate.
Other than that, David was the fiercest enemy (in my mind) if only because he knew their secrets, he was one of them (however temporarily) and 'fell to the dark side'.
And third I have to go with V3, just 'cause, y'know...he held in there the longest against them.
-

I liked the Drode's personality as a villain more than Crayak's, but all of the "evil" stuff he did was under orders from Crayak, so... *shrugs* It's 50-50 for me, I guess.

Crayak was a personification of evil and that's kind of overdone to the point that it wasn't that scary. Yeah when I think about him being this giant eye/machine thing and screaming it's weird and his scenes in #48 were rather frightening, but the Drode scared me because he was scary in an unconventional way.
I think that sneaky is often scarier than big and mean, which was why he was just creepy. And in MM4 when he just pops into Jake's room and is just standing there...I think I'd be terrified. Having to deal with this guy in weird places is one thing, but in your own house?
I don't know, the fact that he was a trickster and (presumably) sold out his own people to be Crayak's #2 weirds me out.
-

Drode? scary??!!! O_O
Never feel scaried by him... He's so funny!!!
^_^' The scariers are Taylor or Crayak, I think...
-
taylor is my 2nd faverite, she almost destroyed tobias
and one reason i like visser 3 is that hes pure evil and hate
and thats why i like taylor shes pure crazyness and evil with some hate mixed in there
-
I picked Tom's Yeerk. The fact that he controlled Jake's brother made the story even more dramatic, especially in final arc. There was always that threat that he would become suspicious of Jake. Even though he never figured it out on his own, there was always that possibility, which made the story more suspenseful.
-
someone should write the drode chronicles, i bet he could have a cool story, like an evil silver surfer
my favorite is still david, that personal aspect just made him so exciting to read and he was so realistic and yet so freakin evil, love it
-
I always liked Visser 1. It seemed to me like she was never really evil, just really ruthless in following her mission. And even when she was cooperating with the good guys to help herself, she never really turned traiter and hurt her people, not like David did anyway.

Visser 1 was crazy. Remember how she wanted to put a Yeerk into her daughter's brain to "make her love her"?

Well she just wanted to be loved and unfortunately she didn't see any other alternatives. I don't think that makes her crazy, just desperate.

Exactly! I'm so glad KA picked Tom's Yeerk to be the central villain of the final arc/battle, it made it all so much more epic and tragic....
Here's my answer from the classic forum:
I love Tom's Yeerk, who is so evil and ambitious, yet sarcastic and funny and clever (more son than Visser 3 at least!).....I mean, check out these lines!
Quote:
<Shut up, Yeerk,> she said. <You're not my
cousin. You're a snail living inside my cousin's
head.>
"Snail? Oh, I'm wounded," the Yeerk inside
Tom answered.
Quote:
"You seem to be experiencing some engine
trouble, Visser," Tom gloated.
and my fave:
Quote:
Tom's face smirked. "Little brother, you've got to know by now: Wars aren't won with clean hands."
And then there's the whole added dimension of being Jake's brother's body, and thus harder/more traumatizing to kill, and being able to REALLY get to Jake and taunt him, using inside knowledge.....
Though Visser 3 could be funny with a very dry sense of humor, he was often too cartoonish for my liking, like Lord Voldemort, though with more depth! wink I did like learning more about him in TAC and the HBC.....but I agree with Visser One that he was often not the sharpest tool in the shed.....
I also wasn't very fond of David--he just annoyed me....
Second to Tom comes Visser One--she was a badass and awesome villain, very intelligent and could be heartless, but still had heart and complexity--I loved her story in "Visser," and always thought she was the most interesting to read about.
-
Now I'm re-reading the 2 last books, I really like Tom's Yeerk too... but it's too sad that he doesn't appear very often and we don't know his name!!!
Really, he's funny, and intelligent (if he didn't work with Esplin 9466, he would become Visser...)!! So I'd like to see him more in the serie...
-
Visser 3... no challenge peepz
-
It's a 3 way tie between David, Visser 1, and Visser 3
-
Visser Three was cool. Sometimes his "evilness" was a little over the top, but, yeah, he was cool. Taylor was crazy. I liked her. And then David... David creeped me out.
-
David, Hands-Down. He's just a sick, twisted, weak human being
-
I like V3, he used to be Alloran, and Andalites are awesome >D
-
I'd probably say Visser Three or David, but I voted for David because he had less votes.
As a person, I hated David more than anyone in the series. As a villain, he was one of the most interesting, because he wasn't an evil alien slug hell bent on world domination, he was just a kid. A kid who was twisted by a series of cruel events in his life. He was a ruthless and cunning villain, but like most villains he was also arrogant, which led to his downfall. I guess the main reason I liked him as a villain was because it showed that you didn't have to be a Yeerk to be evil, humans are more than capable of doing terrible things.
-
ummm... yeah, what he said
-
Of all the villains, David affected me the most. It was hard for me to read the trilogy because his evil was penetrating the very book! He was the most dangerous of the villains, mostly because he was once an Animorph himself.
-
The Drode was always my favourite, but Visser Three followed closely in second place. I love the wild-card, improbability+uncertainty involved with The Drode. V.3. was a bit...anti-intellectual...but he and The Drode both remind me of The Joker in Batman: scary simply because you can't know what they'll do next. The only thing that you know for certain is that they will enjoy your death, however it comes to you.
-
How come I'm the only one who voted for the Helmacrons? They were awesome! :D
Especially in 42, where they proved how deadly they really were and taught the gang a lesson on not judging your enemy by appearance :)
-
Yeah! Yeah! The Drode looks like the Joker!! So true! It's why I like him ^_^
-

book 42 was pretty good. would've been awesome if it didn't have helmacrons.
I hate the helmacrons. they have way too big egos. a big ego is fine. it makes the villain funny when they lose...well a little funny. Too much ego is just stupid.
-
Are you calling me stupid?!! :explode: :fighting0071: >:(
;)
-
no. cuz you don't have too much ego.
-
Are you calling me stupid?!! :explode: :fighting0071: >:(
;)
:D :D :D
-
Taylor is my favorite. She had a great backstory. And...
TOBIAS/TAYLOR=OTP
-
I am going to have to go with that old lady Controller in that lab in The Diversion... She even got in the helicopter and almost machine gunned Tobias and his mother...!!! Vague memories of scary laughter! For a side villain, she stayed pretty up there for staying imprinted in my mind.
The Yeerk in that head was just nasty! AND survived in the end...
-

Oh lol, benedic animorph, thats gold. Yea I agree david was the worst villiaan

What would David be like if he morphed a starfish and got cut in half?
-
Visser Three in the first few books. Until they overused him, culminating in book 9 where he's tricked and made a laughing stock. Book 1 and 2: Pretty much makes you wet yourself with a look.
I thought David had some potential as a villain. Taylor was an interesting psycho. Visser 2's cameo in the series was pretty funny.
-
David or Taylor. David is creepy as balls, Taylor is straight up crazy as balls
