@@Zanemob It literally is though. The comic was complete dogshit. Edit: a comic that is predictable and relies on depthless shock value is not fun. It’s boring and redundant. The comic was bad, use your brains for once. If your best arguments for this comic is “I don’t care if it’s poorly written, it’s fun!” Then it’s pretty clear that you don’t even really know why you like it other than that your standards are low. Mary sue edgelords aren’t appealing. Edit: KZbin deleted my comment even though all I said was “No it’s poorly written garbage.” Edit finale: I think how childishly people are reacting to my comment kinda proves my point. This comic sucks, it’s only appealing to teenagers who don’t know how to handle scrutiny. Insulting me, belittling me, or rejecting my criticism because you don’t agree with me is just immature. Nobody said this comic needed to be complex, so stop with that terrible counter argument, the comic just needs to not be edgy garbage. Nobody said this can’t be fun and I never said you can’t have fun, I’m saying this comic was so predictable and garbage that you could only find it fun if your standards are low. Stop misrepresenting me just because you can’t properly defend this comic.

The thing about nemesis that makes him less of a villain than Griffith to me is how personal it is. Griffith looked at the people he trusted with his life and people he loved and cared for and still made the decision that he did. And the actions he took and continues to take. He's vile, self serving, unwaveringly evil. And it's all because of a grudge. It's one thing to kill a bunch of people you don't know. It's another to kill everyone you ever knew.

[@sarafontanini7051]

This character reminds me of when kids take a bunch of candy or soda and mix it up thinking it'll be the best soda ever. Having a character have flaws, defects, and character progression makes characters good. Not, this shock factor, uncreative story about how many villains these guys can combine into one character and everyone just goes "ooh wow he's so scary and badass." Shock value is stale, and overused by people who lack imagination. Most good stories have very basic boring plots on paper, but their characters, world building and their use of emotion is what sets them apart. For example, it really is not hard for anyone to imagine something more sinister than Nemesis by just combining ideas of evil into a character.

[@theguiltypaytheprice.4899]

He wasn't a paragon. Judeau saw in him the truth: he was willing to do anything to get his way, just faked a facade of decency and comradery. In the end, it was his own words towards Guts "that they are not equal, that an equal should chase their own dream" and "did you forget what I told you? You belong to me." and inability to deal with defeat (sabotaging his own career in Midland to sleep with the princess before getting wed, as a temper tantrum) that got him imprisoned and tortured. He LITERALLY TRIED TO STRANGLE GUTS when he came back to the Band of The Hawk, and stayed with them to rescue Griffith. Guts did not see that gesture for what it was, for he innocently thought "they were friends". Griffith blames Guts for all that went wrong. And in the end... OUT OF FUCKING SPITE, Griffith did what he always would have. Step on others to have his way. In short... ... willingly sacrifice everyone present in the event of the Eclipse, begining his transformation as the 5th member of the Godhand. Falconia being his ultimate goal, his own kingdom.

The only one who could top him IS Judge Holden from Blood Meridian. it was written by one of the greatest American writers of all time, who died recently, R.I.P., and is considered his absolute best. He is the unquestionable embodiment of evil; based on the REAL memoirs of raping, killing and scalping natives and Mexicans in the Southwest. This shit actually happened, and the government PAID THEM FOR IT. He's based in that purely human evil. And the only one who can tangle with Griffith. It's why the book's subtitle is "Or the Evening Redness in the West." Griffith comes pretty close, and he's by FAR my favorite manga villain. Comics are usually lame and their writing just the same. But Judge Holden is at the very least a demon, a real one, the very reality of human depravity, based on true memoirs, but manifested as not death, but perhaps EVIL itself, aka in the Christian sense, Satan, or more specifically, Satan's "playground," so to speak. But even that doesn't describe him well enough. He's a polymath, stronger than three men, can carry a Howitzer cannon with his two arms, LOVES raping, torturing killing and PEDERASTY. Fucking kids. But also one of the most charismatic and by far the most intelligent character you could possibly dream of. When I read Blood Meridian? I was depressed for over a month. It's THAT dark. Look it up on Amazon. I can't believe I'm even saying this, because Griffith is sooo fucked up in, daresay, a beautiful way (like a demon/angel in the lore of Berserk: they are the same), but he cannot hold a candle to Judge Holden. They both, though, are as despicable and utterly depraved as they respectable. One, without a doubt, holds the upper hand. High literature versus manga writing, even at its best... it simply cannot compare. It's like ambrosia (the food of the gods) to rotten, decomposing-into-compost oranges. And there is absolutely zero argument that can be made there, if they have actually done their homework and read the book. (Berserk is the literature of manga, one of the only series I love, like early Ghost in the Shell, SAC, and Akira, Ninja Scroll, Fist of the NorthStar, Samurai Champloo... you see where I'm going. Literature, on the other hand, is what I'm usually reading, however, and there is no way it can come close to comparison, it's just a different genre. One is the height of human creation in the use of words, character development, plot, quite simply, all things that deal with the written and read word. The other is, at best, an animated universe that is grittier and more badass than the rest, and thus, love is given. One will pass the test of time due to uncontestable greatness in ALL regards, just no pictures to make it small and condensed (and SIMPLER, let's be honest here). The other? Is at most? A great section of our time, of entertainment. Of pictures with small word sections, made easy to understand; it's the 3rd cousin of writing. Not a work of human reflection, horror, and utter peerless-ness.) He surpasses, with great ease, even Shakespeare's greatest villain, Iago, who is perhaps the greatest Machiavellian villain ever put to paper. Judge Holden is direct and in his eyes, irredeemable and yet unapologetic; there is nothing to apologize for: "War. War existed far before man; and yet, it waited for him. The ultimate practice awaiting it's ultimate practitioner." WAR, in his eyes, is the symphony of humankind that not only defines us, but is humanity's greatest quality. And, another: "Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak." You can see why his first name is Judge, that is entirely intentional. No man can find flaw with his perceived, and horrifically evil, worldview. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Holden You need to see/read for yourself. Griffith would certainly want him to be his closest ally.

I liked the first half of this. I really like how he was just evil to be evil and was pretending to be someone else. Then they have it where nemesis actually has rhyme and reason which is honestly lame. Him being random and insane is honestly really enjoyable and leaving you disconnected from Nemesis. I don't really like him having a reason to his action because it makes you get it. It's like giving a back story to frieza

[@AlastairCreed]

I kind of agree, but ultimately the second version isn't really divorced from being so evil so as to thoroughly indicate he is evil for evil's sake. I mean, nothing about his backstory ultimately justifies anything he does. Just rationalizes why he chose to become this way. At least it's not apologetics.

[@thedawnchilloutking]

​@AlastairCreed he's doing it for his parent the first half was better.

[@chill3282]

His rhyme and reason for being a villain originally is just sheer boredom. That’s so boring. Literally. He goes thru all this effort for years just because he’s bored? That’s like if Batman became Batman because “I was a bored rich guy” But I respect your opinion. I just personally think it’s very lazy writing.

[@nadroji6549]

Even if there's reason behind it, the shit he does is still pretty random & violent. Look at the pool scene or the suicide bomber, art heist, nuke lie detector, he's still just as unpredictable, but the original viel is the legitimate reason. Personally, his OG reason could be seen as boring (a bored rich guy who kills people for fun has been done to death) & sure revenge for the death of parents isn't much more original, but it still doesn't take away all the wacky shit he did w/ that reason.

@@specialknees6798 The point of the video wasn't really about how he is as a character, nor was it about the depth of said character, the point was literally that he is just evil, and yeah he is, he literally does a majority of this for mostly no reason and thats about it, no remorse or care, he does it to do it because he can, the lack of humanity from a single HUMAN BEING who just has a lot of money, and then spends it to hurt, murder, or ruin peoples lives constantly is why i'd say he's far more evil, he literally has everything a person could want and need, could have literally anything money can buy and chose to use it to ruin lives, not only is he incredibly sadistic but but what he does is downright disturbing, especially when you take into account in the original story he does it out of boredom. thats it. no sad backstory or events that set him on a path of evil or anything.

Nemesis is about on the level of a slasher movie bad guy. Have him not say anything like Michael or Jason and I'd understand him about the same

[@AYVYN]

Berserk had a character like this, Wyald and everyone hated him haha

[@ludonymous526]

​@@AYVYNOh, yeah. That's for sure.

[@alpacamale2909]

You're overhyping it. Nemesis is just n edgy villain, he's basically that villain from oldboy but soulless.

[@anastasiamorris756]

Nemesis reminds me of a villain that should have extremely dramatic classical music during his explanations of his plots and their occurrence.
