Hm. Not many of the villains I can think of are Magnificent Bastards... Teatime has a good plan and is rather clever about it, and Reacher Gilt is a corrupt-magnate sort...
Can you think inside the chimney?
I haven't read them all yet, but I loved the villains in Carpe Jugulum.
Tealove is best pony.
Pony Fanon Index
The Fifth Elephant has some good scheming.

Is that a terribad pun off
The Fifth Element?

No pun of Pratchett's is bad!
Yes, but the plot has very little to do with that movie and, in fact, revolves around jockeying for power between werewolves, vampires, and dwarves.
Pratchett doesn't make puns. He makes punes, or plays on words.

The good ones tend to survive longer than one book, and as a result have more time to impress us with their cunning.

But Vetinari is
such a
Magnificent Bastard. He has a clock that's
engineered to tick subtly wrong - slightly too fast or too slow, or too loud, or not at all - in his waiting room, to soften people up before they talk to him. "Don't let me detain you"!

Seems weird that I've never really taken any "great" media suggestions from this site.
Joss Whedon's stuff,
Discworld, many different anime series,
Doctor Who....never bothered to really look up any of it.
Maybe I'm generalizing, but whatever.

Ok, I'm going away for the rest of the day. If you see me post again, tell me to "get the fuck off the computer and go take care of your other stuff!"
@The Freeman
Yeah, I'm sort of the same. Then again, I was going to actually read one of the
Disc World books, but I forgot to a while ago, and I just never bothered to afterward.

You read it. You read it and you read it. And now you're going to read it.
Ginger: That seems like an oddly specific thing to be bugged by.
But what do I know?
If you watch it backwards, it's about a magic shark that fixes a guy's boat and vomits up so many people they need to open up a beach.
One said, they are creatures that entirely lack the concept of individuality.
One said, they want to make the universe regular. That largely includes removing irregularities like individuality, creativity, color, emotion, and life.
One said, their scenes are short and rendered like this - with no dialogue tags or identification, because they have no identity.

They're cosmic bureaucrats who find life...messy. As a result, they have launched multiple attempts to eliminate it.
Also, why does the villain have to be smarter than the heroes? (As a sidenote, I
detest Dumb Is Good.)

I enjoy
Guile Hero as a trope, though. Otherwise you get a bunch of bloody cookie-cutter
Idiot Heroes.
Incidentally, welcome to the thread, Bindle. =D

No need to welcome me. I've been here for a while now.

But you guys have inspired me to learn again
