SPOILERS!!
So uh yeah it's been a bit since I did one of these. Work and life has been getting pretty heavily in the way and As you may know if you saw my cliff-hanger from the handsome jack review this doesn't match the tease. Well in the time I was introduced to a HUGE amount of new villains and the original six; Arkham from DMC3 just didn't match. I hate changing the numbers mid list but I just could not keep some of them in. Sorry about that.
I just want to point out that when on a top ten list of villains when THE DEVIL is number 6, That brings a lot of hope towards number 5.
Ladies and gentlemen if you haven't seen Supernatural give it a shot....just ignore the cliff-hanger at the end of season 5 and assume the series ended cause after that things start going a little bit stupid. Suffice to say that eve will NOT be on this nor will she EVER!!...Sorry that gets me a little worked up. Where was I?
Right Supernatural. A good enough series has some issues but generally a good time. As the series went on they started going from general monsters. (vampires, werewolves, bloody mary myths legends that kind of stuff) to more religious things like demons and angels. After they went to that there was only one more villain they could really bring in and have massive presence.
They already signed Mark Sheppard so they went to the next best thing. The Devil.
At the end of season 4 Lucifer was unleashed and the first thing he needed to do is find a host. He finds a man down on his luck. A man named nick whose wife and child were murdered by an intruder and Lucifer suffice to say has a fun job of sticking his finger in the wound. Making him hallucinate seeing himself covered in blood, Seeing his dead wife and probably one of the big reasons he's on this list making him see his deceased child inside of it's crib and about in the same shape it was in last time he saw it.
I'll spare you the image of the crib pouring blood out of it.....mostly cause I can't find the image.
I know we're talking about the devil here but that scene immediately hit me upon re-watching the episode (might I add one of the first in the season if not the first) that they are not messing around with this guy and that they wanted to make sure they created a villain worthy of the name "Lucifer"
He pops up a fair amount of times during season 5 to keep thing interesting but he always has such a calm mocking tone to him except the few times either his angel brethren or the even fewer times he calms down and actually tries to reason with Michael. But his tone and his very arrogant but still oddly fun to watch performance is due to two people. Normally Mark Pellegrino and during the end of the series Jared Padalecki. Yes He is damn menacing, He does thing during the season and doesn't just bugger off somewhere (Cough Kefka Cough) and the main thing he wanted during the season was his true vessel he gets. He takes over the body of one of the main characters and honestly if it wasn't for one thing making sam take back his mind long enough to seal Lucifer he would've won and in some ways he did cause he essentially killed one of the main characters.
I CAN'T SEE YOU!! >.<
Seriously though yes I know that he came back but I'll be honest I call ass pull just to keep the series going.
So he does everything right, He's a perfect example of a villain and he in a sense wins. Why in gods name is he at number 6? Well two reasons. First This is my list and maybe some of the villains coming up may not be better done but I like the style or design better. Second Like I said the idea of him being in sam's body and sealed in the cage is one thing but sam then coming out with no soul then with a soul and Lucifer mentally hounding him was again an ass pull and even with Lucifer being once again quite sadistic it just doesn't hit the same note and honestly kind of sours it. At least in my opinion and very slight recollection of season 6 and 7.
Lucifer is a fantastic villain though. Everything hits the right note but again just some minor things and the odd resurrection later on just seems off. Again this is all my opinion and I know those things may seem minor but It's just how I see it. As for the next villain we have coming up...well Lucifer isn't the only villain aquatinted with death.
