But Thrawn is awesome, though...

Seriously. I purposefully give my villains limits.

The exception is stuff like Exalted's Deathlords, who virtually can never be competed with on a social or mental level due to Having All Charms, but only beaten physically (which is itself nearly impossible).

But I prefer arch villains of unbelievable and scary power that can still be tricked, misled, or just plain fuck up.

Villains who can be misled, screw up, or so on are the best because ultimately they're goddamn interactive.

If the villain is too perfect in their villainy there's not much you can do other than grind until you can kill them. I've had far more fun with more human villains with human goals like revenge or ideology which can be manipulated or lead to irrational decisions. I've come to find your typical villain who's prepared for everything and who can only be fought with direct action to be rather unimaginative in comparison.

Even a great demon warlord still has a mother to his children.

Someone pointed out to me that Thrawn and Pellaeon were really just Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in Star Wars. If you think about them in that way, it makes the series a little more fun.

However, I happened to like the Thrawn series. For Star Wars books, they were the cream of the crop.

>Not Wraith Squadron

I never got around to reading them. I have heard good things about them, though.

Yub, yub, commander.

>no one gives a shit or reacts realistically outside of "shit, that sucks

have you gone outside

that is precisely how most people react

>pointless story to try and make well written character look bad
>point out how it's unrelated
>no, but the unrelated story makes the character look bad! you dont understand

It's fun to come into threads and see several user dismantling one moron.

Fills me with cheer.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you the size of those 2 texts and tell you to read the entire thing or not bother looking for it, instead of just looking at the title and etc and then complaining here...
