Re: Your ideal fictional antagonist/villain?

Good motivation. I don't care if it's bordering on woobiesque or if it's pure, undiluted selfishness - if there's a good motivation that's in line with what that character would do, I'd buy it.

Yes, this includes unrepentant psychopaths: I won't accept that they're evil for evil's sake, because no matter what the situation, they still have to want something and have a reason for going about doing the things they do in the way they do it.

I also don't care if the logic is flawed, or if the character is just wrong. If it's in character for the antagonist to feel that they must do this evil thing, and if I can accept that in their eyes it's either the only choice, or the better choice, then hell yeah, I can accept that.

In the end, it just comes down to whether or not I can see a character genuinely believing their own motives, and for it to be in character, regardless of what those motives are.
