Wow. I'm stumped on this question. I have had quite a few though. The only two off the top are, and don't laugh,

I'll be back when I have an adult answer.

I suppose Darth Vader in Return of the Jedi when

But beyond that I can't think of much else.

OrlandoEastwood · 04-09-2011, 07:06 AM

The Accountant in Drive Angry?

Mandalorian · 04-09-2011, 07:07 AM

Antonio Salieri. End of thread.

SleeperAgent · 04-09-2011, 07:39 AM

Ozymandias.

He just wanted peace.

L-Rouge · 04-09-2011, 07:51 AM

Roy Batty. Bladerunner. Just wanted to live a little longer than his allotted 4 year life span. He was classified Replicant, and society wouldn't let him be anything more than his designated function in life handed to him by the "Tyrell Corperation".

haha, that is amazingly deep.

L-Rouge · 04-09-2011, 07:53 AM

Dr Evil. man just needed a hug!

MikeDaWiz · 04-09-2011, 08:56 AM

What about The Phantom, From The Phantom of the Opera.

octagon · 04-09-2011, 09:38 AM

Roy Batty is a pretty strong candidate.

Jerry Lundegaard Fargo

lol.Don't know how sympathetic the dude was,but he is a contender for the best villain ever,but that's another thread

MikeDaWiz · 04-09-2011, 10:11 AM

The Rock's Character in Faster.

I dont know if he would really be called a villan though.

Agent Bond · 04-09-2011, 12:24 PM

Porter: The trouble he went through just for $70,000.

Jigsaw: Became a vigilante because he was diagnosed with terminal cancer then they tacked on the plot point of him also losing his unborn child to try to make you feel even more sorry for him, which I thought was totally unnecessary.

Two-Face: All he wanted was revenge and rightfully so.
