Let's make a Visser Three Evil Overlord List and how he fails at it! Here's only a few I can think of right off the bat.
4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.
How many times has Visser Three just used his morphing power to hunt down or try to kill the Animorphs, when a simple round of Dracon beams or a hail of gunfire will suffice?
6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.
Hoo boy, does he ever gloat! He did it in #1. The Invasion, #5. The Predator, #21. The Threat, #24. The Suspicion, #25. The Extreme, and others! If only he had used a little common use, the Animorph threat would have been ended in like two or three books.
17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.
Even though he TECHNICALLY doesn't have advisors, how many times have one of his underlings suggested something very minor and he kills them for that or ignores them?
32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.
Do I even need to say it?
Anyone interested in doing this project with me?
Oh, one last thing. Not really part of this topic, but I need a beta reader. Does anyone want to volunteer?
