Evil Dictator Vs. Thread

[EntilZha]

Who's the most evil dictator, Emperor Palpatine from Star Wars or Ming the Merciless of Flash Gordon fame?

[FoE]

No contest — Palpatine wins by a mile. He incited a civil war that killed millions and effectively wiped out the Jedi Order. Ming the Merciless was more comic than diabolic.

[Vespe Ratavo]

Seriously? You think there's a contest? While I must admit my knowledge of Flash Gordon is subpar, we are talking about a man who destroyed a planet, killed thousands of Jedi, enslaved entire races, and created Darth Vader.

Palpatine wins.


(But Vetinari beats them both)

(But Vetinari beats them both)The Patrician isn't evil. Unless you happen to be a mime.

There's no way Palpatine is less evil. Ming may be treacherous, but he only controls one planet. Palpatine controls and oppresses an entire galaxy. Palpatine is an inter-planetary Hitler.

That doesn't necessarily mean Palpatine is more evil, though, just that his evil affects more people. I haven't seen Flash Gordon, though, so I don't know anything about Ming.

Ming = Corporate Evil (in his newest incarnation, anyway, which is way more evil than the 80's movie incarnation if you ask me)

Palpatine = Manipulative, evil-for-its-own-sake Evil.

I'd say Palpatine wins against any incarnation of Ming.

At best he's Lawful Neutral with very evil tendencies.

He has scorpion pits.

I'm putting my money on Evil Dictator, I mean, this thread may be okay as threads go, but it's not even on its second page; while Evil Dictator has people writing down what he says.

I will place bets on John Baptist Emanuel Sebastien Zorg or Dr Breen because I hate his calm, steady and gently smiling face on Combine televisions.

Zorg does not have the name Sebastian in his name.

Its just Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg.

Hmm I thought their was more to it. It must have simply been his pretentiousness that made it seem like their should be more.
