Sci-Fi Blog

The best Sci-Fi character ever was Dr. Alan Grant from Jurassic Park. The reason for this is his character throughout the film; a somewhat normal man put in an abnormal situation. He is a man of science (archeologist) and uses this knowledge of the wilderness and of dinosaurs throughout the film to help save himself and the island survivors. He also uses this ability to giver hope to the survivors in showing how wondrous some of the island’s creatures are. This is shown several times throughout the film, from the cars breaking down to the dinosaur attacks to finding rescue. So being intelligent and having the capabilities of a hero are essential to his portrayal of a great Sci-fi character.

The best Sci-Fi villain is Terminator from the film The Terminator. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s robotic character represents everything it means to be a sci-fi villain. First of he is a killing machine from the future, and he just won’t die. Being completely a robot made him a very vital component to the Sci-Fi process. Terminator is a force that humans struggled to fight against since he was a machine. He could rebuild himself, and hardly ever took any damage. It also helps that he was programmed to just be pure evil, completely out to kill his targets. There is no question with his mechanic abilities and the fact that he is completely a force of evil that he is the best Sci-Fi villain of all time.

The best movie villain ever was definitely the Joker from The Dark Knight. The Joker was just the symbol of evil against Batman’s good persona. He was sick, demented, psychotic, a murderer, a thief, and just all around criminal. Not only did he commit crimes, but he also managed to make them other people’s faults at many times. He got inside people’s minds, and royally messed with them on a psychological basis. This tactic was not only pure evil, but it brought the evil out in others who many times were believed good. That made his character very dynamic, he was evil, but he made you second guess his character in the grand scheme of things.
