My favorite is Bog king from Strange Magic - Has a song talking about how evil he is. But all he does is prevent the spread of dangerous mind control magic, and quarantine people under the effects of said magic. Yes he greatly annoys people doing so, but honestly? If I get hit by a love potion, please quarantine me.

Literally Satan.

Among his greatest sins: trying to be a bro and let Adam and Eve know that they were naked in some perv's garden

Edit: come to think of it, it's not entirely accurate, as I don't think Satan ever claims to be evil. But there's a lot of anti-Satan propaganda in the Bible.

TV show Lucifer is a fun watch. The Devil gets tired of running Hell and decides to relocate to LA.

[-] IMongoose@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

I love Lucifer. Every episode is exactly the same and it's amazing.

The show is loosely based on a standalone Sandman spinoff comic that I think is quite good.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Funnily enough, I found the comic dry and snooty. The show was a lot more fun.

I think you would really enjoy reading paradise lost. OK, maybe you wouldn’t enjoy reading it because it’s written in late 15th century iambic pentameter, and the anachronistic vocabulary makes it a bit of a slog— but it’s an incredible (apocryphal, but what about Satan isn’t?) story about how Lucifer became Satan.

Just make sure to get an annotated copy so you can understand what the hell is going on.

Is it ever stated that the serpent is actually Satan?

[-] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 day ago

Not explicitly. The book of Enoch (non-canon) claims it was Azazel, other sources claim Samael or even Lilith. Now if you want to take a completely secular view it’s important to note that Satan as we think of him now is a Christian concept and doesn’t exist in the Torah or in classical Judaism, but was simply a term meaning “accuser” or “tempter” that wasn’t a person or individual but more of a general concept of sin or temptation that prevented someone from doing the will of god

Satan is referred to as a serpent a couple times in the bible.

I haven't read the Hebrew version, so maybe that telling says it?

Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz

He is actually a really good dad throughout the show.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 17 points 1 day ago

And because he's such a great dad, Vanessa gave him a basket full of recreational self destruct buttons for fathers day.

[-] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 day ago

A thoughtful gift to a mad and self-described evil scientist.

[-] actually@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I wish he was less oppressed

[-] TriflingToad@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I got a platypus controlling me!

Megamind. Dude raised in prison and bullied his whole life, he just want attention from Metroman. Once he got the attention of Roxanne the act basically stopped.

[-] AnyOldName3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

He did more-or-less kill, and then steal the identity of, the museum guy. He's not a paragon of virtue, either.

[-] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah, but he isn't evil that he likes to think he is. He kinda mess up the town once in a while while trying to get even with Metroman. Though there's no confirmed kill from him. Titan on the other hand is evil.

He was pretty evil for a good while, then went back to evil again during ][v][ajin saga for a bit. He did a fair share of evil shit for a good while before he became a bro.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Melkior/Morgoth, they saw that Arda was a deeply flawed creation and attempted to correct it before existence was sung into being.

After the fact their actions are certainly viewed as evil by the world they tried to change but had the rest of the Vala joined his song the world simply would have been different, not worse.

The Warcraft narrator, he says he's an evil man but just wants to disco.

...Wait, I misheard that?

[-] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago
[-] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

I looked everywhere for that one.

I Scream from Chikn Nuggit.
