I don't think that is true. I think a villain who is just evil to be evil works just as well.

I think you can have boring villains ESPECIALLY if they rely on a hook/gimmick.

I think Seymour from Final Fantasy X was a really good villain.
For me, a good villain doesn't need to be tough, or big or anything - but insane, mellow, and generally 'off'.

Magneto is a good villain, because Magneto is trying to justify his genocide.


I prefer the Anti-Villains, to villains.

Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars III.
Alec Trevelyan, Goldeneye.
