Who is more evil? Richard or Blackmage?

For those unfamiliar with Black mage:




For those unfamiliar with Richard:





And just for kicks...

there are about five threads concerning this topic

but just anyways, BM

I think Richard. BM loves White Mage and has a soul.

Before i saw Richard the Musical, i would say Black Mage. But now i have to say Richard is the evilist. And he is a better singer.

What does Black mage sound like? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXR-RhbR0t8

BM wants to get in white mages pants. There is no love there. Also, BM was RULER OF HELL and killed the earth fiend. Richard would be obliterated by the hadoken, and BM has other spells like that too. Any spell richard uses on him that doesnt kill him completely would be richards downfall, for then BM would know it.

http://www.nuklearpower.com/daily.php?date=041231 what he really sounds like.

They're both, in their unique, beautiful ways, murderous, psychopathic maniac. But for now, I'd say Black Mage because I knew 8-bits longer than I had LFG. But, we shall see by the end of the year.

hehehe that D&D video is hilarious

Hah! That D&D one was fuuunny.

I already watched that... it was pretty funny. "I wanna cast magic missile!"

WHERE'S THE MOUNTAIN DEW? CAN I HAVE MOUNTAIN DEW?" lol

"I'M GETTING DRUNK! ARE THERE ANY GIRLS THERE?" lol

Its all the gym teachers fault for yelling at them because they can't do one freaking pull up!

LOL

I would say BM is far more evil than Richard...for the simple fact that BM has tried to kill everyone in his group more than once...and the only reason he hasn't tried to kill WM is because he doesn't feel like getting it on with a corpse, but something tells me he wouldn't mind. Richard has only lashed out a Cale turning him to ash once, and when fighting the kings navy shot at him...but he was provoked both time. BM just gets mad for no reason and throws a knife at his party members.

So yea, BM is more evil...Richard just happens to be better at it.

Lol, that D&D one is old XD "I'm attacking the darkness!"

I remember seeing that way back in the good ol' days o_O

well actually BM is better at it and more evil.

I'd agree with the point as indicated by the letter that Black Mage wrote that he does have some sort of soul. Of course hes odd, violent, and evil in his own right, but Richard is just pure evil.

Sorry but humanity wins in evilness. No matter what soulless creatures can come up with they atleast don't tell people they are entitled to do so because they are superior or just kill/torture specific groups of people.

it's hard to decided who is more evil, because they're both the same..

Meh, BM has moe of a soul then Richard. But you know, if they had a killing contest they'd probably tie....

but Richard had a wider range of spells.

BM

Cause he destroyed that orphans life so many times.

what orphans life?

I'd have to go with Richard. BM just kills his victims as quickly as he can and doesn't really torture them, Richard takes his time when he can and causes as much pain as he can.

In the comic there was a kid walking back to a campsite and found his parents dead, black mage is nearby and says something to this orphan.

Then he kills the foster parents.
And the other foster parents.
and other places where he lives, Black mage killed all the people around the orphan.

(Sorry can't quite remember it all)

Richard has essentially killed about 40 people, give or take. That includes indirect, as in pulling the guy out of the bush to take the arrows, and speculation, ie: lighting the mast on fire and going apeshit on everyone XD. LFG currently has about 80 strips.


NuklearPower, on the other hand, has about 900. Black Mage has killed in the millions, most likely (destroyed the Dwarven city TWICE, Lefein once, some other things I can't remember, kicked a puppy, orphaned a kid THREE TIMES, and... who knows what else). I'm such a nerd

So, I look at it this way--

In LFG, if there's ever the equivalent of the Castle of Ordeals, as in 8-Bit, and Richard faces himself, it will be a tie between the two. If Richard faces BM, we will know who is more evil

For those unfamiliar with 8-bit, the Castle of Ordeals was a place where the party went, and essentially faced the sin they most represented. BM was evil, and the only thing evil enough to represent him was himself. Which he killed. Making him even MORE evil.

/nerdoff

I could always make a video game with richard and blackmage and we can duke them out agaisnt each other.

See who would win.

Or LFG characters against 8-bit characters :-o Pit Fighter against Krunch or something

i gotta go with richard couse lets face it in the end BM is about as smart as a brick where as richard is sharp as they come also as soon as bm's is outa magic hes as dangerous as a little puppy with a knife taped to its back , richard can still take down a trolls without breaking a sweat.

That would be interesting.


BM >< Richard (both the physical manifestation of everything mean)

FT >< Cale'anon (both swordsmen)

RM >< Krunch (essentially, the smartest of the two groups)

TF >< Benny...?

god poor redmage Krunch would trun him in to a red stain on his hammer while rm is in the middle of trying to stat tweet his way to victory

Idk... assuming you've read through the webcomic to current, when has RDM ever lost a battle with his obviously-flawed plans? XD


I mean, he got the golden chocobo fgs .


Although... he never did build the cold fusion generator out of ice >.>;

true but thats when hes fightlign lest face it ememies who are dumb enough to give him time to srew around wiht a pencil and paper krunch would go hammer time befor the led hit the page

Touché.

I think it'd be White Mage vs Benny :-o

Yes, but that leaves THF x]. Maybe against... idk.


But I am installing WoW as we speak! I'm a FFXI-junkie, so I have a natural hatred for it born in my blood BUT! I do love LFG, so I'm trying it out.

TF against Tah'Vraay? o_O /shrug

Black Mage is both more evil and more funny. He wins all around.

the onion kid


BM does so torture them. Besides. Which comic does richard torture someone in?

actually, red mage is the second stupidest. He just fools the world into thinking he's smart. Thief is actually the smartest

They're all kind of dumb in their own way.

Richard [font="Impact"][/font][size="6"][/size]ROCKS

you fail!

and BM really just rocks more. seriously, BM had to have time frozen for some 8 trillion years having the word "care" explained to him. He still didnt get it. Richard, understands these concepts but chooses to ignore them. also, richards attacks dont siphon love out of the universe

That we know of :-o

it doesn't seem like a richard-ish type thing though, richard seems chaotic evil and BM is neutral evil.

oh yes

i'm sure BM has a lighter side, tho.. as do all evil people. trust me, ALL evil people.

His good side is only not evil by comparison to Black Mage's evil side. Unless you consider them "Evil" and "Evil Beyond Comprehensive Thought" and then his good side is just the lesser of two evils, literally.

Yes I just quoted the comic, but it's a good line.

Richard. BM still has a conscience that argues against utter destruction, while the only thing holding back Richard is that it's more enjoyable to mess with people before he kills them. Richard would willingly do anything that BM has done, and probably much more efficiently, and on the way would have always come out on top of the Light Warrior's squabbles.

For comparison:

BM - Kills entire villages/cities when he's in trouble or very annoyed
Richard - Kills entire villages/cities just because he can

Also, Richard is very creative with his massacres!

Okay, you guys are obviously not giving BM the credit he deserves. I love Richard and all, but honestly, the kills that BM have racked up over the.. really... really... long course of 8bit are innumerable. Remember Dwarfland? Where he just lit random villages on fire? That was awesome. He ended up shooting laserbeams from his eyes!

I prefer to reason this out with the saying, "quality over quantity".

BM- Mass killinization... destructively effective and awe- inspiring... but it lacks.. something.

Richard- blissfully artistic with every death, or series of deaths he causes.. lacks any real care for anything.. except maybe ponies.
