As much as I love the campy, optimistic swashbuckling stories from the SW universe, there's something about the cosmic horror aspect of the franchise that I find so alluring. Nihilus, Abeloth, The Yuuzhan-Vong just scratch that itch for me.
Plz look into Supernatural Encounters. It's kinda in the limbo of EU canon but that itch for cosmic horror will be supplemented with DEEP rabbit hole lore expansions.
My reaction to your intro was "if you ever cover any of the warhammer franchises, you'd not only have to start from the beginning, but you'd also have to cover the whole thing. And at that point, you might as well become a warhammer tuber."
Well, to be fair... Space Marine, the novel, was released in 1993. Since then there have been multiple novels releases every year. So, for the last 31 years, over 300 novels have been set in the WH universe.
If this is true, then saying I’m hyped would be an understatement. Can’t wait for the Old Republic era. The KoToR games have some real good lore in them.
Definitely share this sentiment. After diving into the legends continuity, Star Wars has grown to be my favorite franchise, and I can't even put into words how excited I am for this "mini series" of evil across the franchise to get going 😈
"if it's existence has no meaning or purpose, then it must find ways to entertain itself." Mnggal-Mnggal's philosophy is like a nihilist that turned into a hedonist...
@@casualcookin3893Gaunter isn’t really a hedonist or a nihilist. He’s just there; he has a job that he does enjoy doing, but he isn’t bound by it in any meaningful way. He could piss off to Skellige and live as a hermit for three hundred years if he liked, but he enjoys making deals and capturing souls, so he keeps himself to task. It’s a bit like how the Devil is portrayed: powerful, but ultimately bound by laws even he can’t break. Gaunter answers to someone… who that someone is, or what, remains a mystery, and frankly, it needs to stay that way…
Star Wars has one of the most lore-rich universes in all of fiction because it has literal decades' worth of material to pull from (books, comics, video games, etc.). Unfortunately, lame-@$$ Disney can't seem to get past Stormtroopers/Rebels & TIE fighters/X-wings.
Star Wars Legends was the closest the franchise ever got to something like Tolkien’s Legendarium or the Cthulhu Mythos, at least in my opinion. While not everything worked, the sheer depth and near limitless possibilities lead to some very interesting stories, concepts, and characters that made the universe feel absolutely massive and kind of scary, like the Yuuzhan Vong, Abeloth, Vitiate, and of course Mnggal-Mnggal. What sucks is that Disney had the chance to actually adapt this already established source material, and yet they decided to throw it into the non-canon dumpster, and created the sequel trilogy, which we all know how that turned out.
KK could begin to mitigate the loathing and contempt her complete vandalism of the Star Wars franchise would be to recanonise all the "independent " Star Wars materials and to make £££ available to up and coming independent filmmakers to develop ideas from them.
Dear Vile Eye, you just made my day. The sheer depths of the old EU are brimming with fascinating and complex characters that are sadly very little disscussed due to the obscurity of the media they appear in. To hear you are at least interested in covering them made the little kid that saw the Prequel trilogy and fell in love with it EXPLODE with joy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I`m particularlly looking forward to the Vitiate and Yuuzhan Vong videos, but whatever you chose to do in the future, I wish you the best of luck. Cheers!
Years ago, there was a sci-fi book series I read called 'Renegade Legion'. In that universe there was an empire called the Terran Overlord Government that ruled a good portion of the galaxy. In one of the first books I read, there was a world that rebelled against the TOG. So, the empire sent a fleet of warships to deal with the uprising. They failed to fully defeat the rebels, and were unwilling to commit troops to fighting a protracted battle that might see the rebellion spread off-world. So, the fleet was ordered to recall all ground troops and begin a 24 hour bombardment from orbit. They bombarded the planet's surface until the skies burned and oceans boiled off. And they kept bombarding. When they were done, that world's surface was a near-uniform elevation, and there was nothing but molten rock cooling under blackened skies. I'm of the firm opinion, that THAT is how you deal with Mugg Fallow, or any other world heavily infested by Mnggal-Mnggal; you burn it from orbit. You don't send food down to it in the form of troops, you rain fire on it from above. No need to blow the world apart and risk specks of the entity escaping, just burn the world to cinders.
Or those same incendiary or chemical agents, deployed from orbit or beyond, en masse and continuously until it is deemed practical to potentially make landfall, preferably using droids to administer any tasks that require being down there, potentially in close contact with the entity.
@@MorganMalinish Yes, let’s just act like it’s that easy with how much there is to cover. Vile is a “quality over quantity” type of creator. Rushing anything leads to shitty results every time. Name anyone who found legitimate success by rushing their creation or project. Taking time to make sure you do something right pays off far more often than not. Vile’s choice is to either do it fast, or do it right-and he’ll always pick the latter approach.

I'm so happy you've decided to include and start off with Mnggal-Mnggal. I always found it to be one of the freakiest concepts in the SW universe. Almost anything to do with the Unknown Regions is inherently unsettling because of the nature of it being unknown, or at least not well investigated. Being aware that a thing like Mnggal-Mnggal exists is not quite like opening a door, but peeking through a window into a H.P. Lovecraft world. That whatever's there could have the capacity to be so far beyond normal. And the fact alone that the celestials literally walled-off a massive section of the galaxy with black holes, deliberately making it (mostly) inaccessible would have its own astronomical implications. It almost feels like the idea of going out of bounds in a game, but then the "out of bounds" timer doesn't appear to kill you, so you just keep walking for as long as there's "more game" ahead of you until things start to get weird and you feel like you really shouldn't be here. Except... there's *actually* something there.
ever been to the farlands babe? ever felt your own brain integer overflow? have you swam in the endless sea of static electric chaos outside the bounds of the universe from which matter and being pull themselves?
I disagree, sort of. From what I remember, Mnggal-Mnggal found genuine amusement in the torture it inflicted on other sentient life forms, unlike Cthulhu who doesn't really care and sees humanity as insignificant
It's actions seem to indicate it goes out of its way to bring harm to other life. It's more comparable to Nyarlathotep, who is one of the few Gods in Lovecrafts works who Know of humanities existence and actively fucks with us
The fact you chose such an obscure piece of sourcebook lore for the first video just shows how mucb of a true Star Wars fan you are. The best solution to containing this entity would probably a massive blockade entirely comprised of droids. I hope these peform well, your analysis on people like Traya and Caedus are needed.
Cosmic evil beyond comprehension will always be one of my favourite villain archetypes. Thank you for introducing me to this blob of pure evil, it’ll probably become one of my favourite characters in the Star Wars mythos lol. I’d also like to suggest videos on the characters and themes of Spec Ops: The Line and The Qu from All Tomorrows. I think they would make for some interesting topics to discuss.
The character's stories bleeding into each others is what I love the most about Legends. Especially the Older Republic era, where you have some of the most captivating, interesting, and well written villains in all of fiction.
They are horrific, they are alien, I get the vibe from them yet I also feels they are gruesome in familiar way...I don't know man. What I know is that for the whole 40minutes Alt shiftX video I was rooting for their demisse
@@thesenate1844Yeah. Most of the information we got on them is- They're Nomadic, hyper religious. They see themselves as Gods with their superior technology, and that the universe is a sandbox to manipulate. They built a lot of their structures in Pyramid shapes. Then they left one day to find another Galaxy. Beyond that, the last major mention of the Qu is when it's passingly said that the Asteromorphs eventually one day defeated the Qu with a combined effort from other Intergalactic aliens. It's glossed over because the "Author" didn't see it as important to the story.
The Mnggal Mnggal is kind of like a Dungeon Master and his party doing whatever they want, whenever they want for forgotten trophies. I say let’s turn its parent star into a black hole.
@@Idea_of_Lustre I think blackwing was a very potent form of a sith virus that basically did the same thing as the mnggal-mnggal, so technically they are slightly different
@@DFloyd84”The concept for the entity stems from H. P. Lovecraft, and Daniel Wallace also states that the similarity between it and the infection in Death Troopers was unintentional. A last-minute addition included the line that tied Mnggal-Mnggal to Imperial Project Blackwing.” It was unintentional at first but there was a tie added later
I, for one, can't wait to see more Star Wars evil character vids. I love deep lore, especially pertaining to science fiction franchises. Keep 'em coming!
If you ever decide to read Supernatural encounters, the unofficial silmarillion of Star Wars than you would realize the Mnggal-Mnggal is one of a family of Eldritch horrors.
He'd have enough content for at least 10+ videos on the various evil characters in SE. Darth Dreadwar would be a nice one. Same with that one dude that fell into the SW equivalent of WH40K's chaos, returned as a demon prince and reignited the belief in Hell on Corellia. The stories in that book are wild man; loved every moment of it.
I am so excited for this mini series to develop. Revan's canonical return to the light and his potential to have ruled the galaxy has to be my personal favorite story arc in the franchise. I look forward to watching your take on them!
i'm a big fan of SW, but thanks to this, I get to know a entity I didn't knew it existed. Thank you a lot. If you begin a bi or monthly series of SW villains, wish you the best for this new future work for the channel.
Going through the chronological evolution of evil in Star Wars will be fascinating to observe, how different eras create vastly different types of villains and monsters. It will be enlightening
I don't know how to explain the rollercoaster of emotion in the first two minutes of this show. I know you liked Star Wars as you have said it before and also your OT villains breakdowns so it's not like I wasn't expecting this or hoping for an expansion on the series. But now especially in the past year or so when someone says they like Star Wars I get this visceral reaction like "is this going to be followed by lore about something I love or are they gonna say the girl with baggy pants is ugly because you can't see her ass and this is why Star Wars has been ruined". It took less than two minutes to realize you just really wanted to talk about Star Wars. It's so fucking refreshing.
@@N_o196 though I know very little about legends, it has always been fascinating to me. And I seriously agree, it seems like everywhere I go there's some super negative grifter being super bigoted and I was terrified vile eye would join them
Star Wars is full of lore that needs to be explored and I hope that you d a video on the Yuuzhan Vong later down the line. PS: That origin film that Disney is failing to do will never be canon no matter what Kathleen Kennedy or the director turn lackey known as James Mangold says.
The Mnggal-Mnggal is by far the most evil thing in the entirety of the Star Wars universe, even more so than Abeloth, I'd say. The Mnggal-Mnggal will literally kill a child in front of its parents and then reanimate the corpse simply for its own amusement. It spreads itself because it wants to, like the Flood from Halo, except not even the Flood spreads itself simply for its own desire. It is rot that feeds on pain and finds sadistic pleasure in bringing absolute suffering to the galaxy.
And that's crazy because even the Immortal Gods of the Sith (evil celestials) and the Architects (Tilotny, Cold Dande Sine & Splendid Ap) were cautious of Mnggal-Mnggal's malignant appetite and infecition. Bro's very existence had galaxy level beings nervous.
Here are some requests: Elfen Lied Angelica Pickles(Rugrats) Lex Luthor(Smallville) Richard B. Riddick High Father & Dante(Fullmetal Alchemist) Vergil(Devil May Cry) Plankton(Spongebob) Lord Zedd(Power Rangers) The Makuta(Bionicle) Megatron The Comedian(Watchmen)
Out of all the weird and esoteric evil entities in Star Wars, this is not at all the one I thought you would cover. But I’m not complaining, this is awesome
Great job with covering a very obscure Star Wars character that feels like it would be at home in the SCP Foundation. Hoping the success of the video will spark more videos about obscure characters from some of my favourite franchises like Kill The Past or Shin Megami Tensei or Warhammer 40k just to name a few. Keep up the great work Vile.
So full credit, despite star wars being a well traveled, well learned franchise, you went through all the basics, and as a successful flex, i've never heard of this thing. Take a bow. In fact that's my only critic, this was such a strong foray into star wars i don't see how you can top it. Fingers crossed for war hammer 40k or old world.
Yeah, can’t see why he didn’t cover Cartman yet. He has done so many awful things to so many people, some of which weren’t even deserving of the torture he put them through. It kind of makes me confused as to how and why I should feel bad for him after he “sacrifices” himself to save his friends. Like sorry, but no. In fact, I wouldn’t put it past Cartman to pretend to be homeless, because I highly doubt given his intellect and influence that he would end up in such a state. It’s just not in character for the guy.
Bro just wanna say been a huge fan for a while now and man i love how the nerd in you made you keep tracing the evil back cause thats what my mind does to me and its awesome im here for it all thanks for the awesome content
I would love for you to dive into the evil characters of Star Wars, Legends continuity IMO is Superior than Disney Canon so I’d be super excited for this sub series of Analyzing Evil
The problem is not that disney makes bad villains.. its that they make cool concepts for villains then ruin them. Kylo was a cool concept, a dark side aprentice still on the way up and learning his way to the top. He could have become one of the best villains by the end of the trilogy with proper development if Disney and Ryan johnson/JJ Abrams didnt turn him into star wars twillight fan fic. Snoke had potential too, a misterious and powerful master, clearly wounded by some unknown event in the past. He could have been so much more, he could have fought palpatine in the past and lost if they wanted to tie their stories together in some form, but nah, they did the most anticlimatic, boring and character destroying arct possible. Qimir is the only good thing from acolyte but he risk turning into yet another twillight fan fic story. Could they stop with this whole trope for fuck sake? Anyway theres potential there if they dont fuck up. Hell even General Hux had potential as a non force user villain then they dismantled his character in the last movie. My point stands, all of these as concepts are cool and had potential, disney just needs to learn to stick to their guns with their villains and have FOCUS on their stories.
You have entered in the Expanded Universe. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. I can’t wait for you to talk about Palpatine’s son, the three-eyed mutant, Trioculus!
You mean Triclops. Trioculus was a different three-eyed mutant who a coalition of Imperial politicians led by Grand Moff Hissa tried to pass off as Palpatine's three eyed son because Triclops had been declared insane and thrown into an Imperial asylum.
I look forward to the massive chain of retaliation and malice that shall be your Star Wars analysis series. If you go through with it, it will be truly legendary.
This has to be the coolest announcement you could make! I love star wars, and it'll be cool to learn more about it in this series that I love. I somehow hadn't ever heard of this character, so that's promising.
The old republic rpg games, the mmorpg old repiblic game, most of the 90ish to 2010s expanded universe thats on books and misellaneous media like table top games @@Yusef-mt1rt im kinda sad but glad at the same time that disney did not touch the ecpanded universe. It also goes far ahead of the fall of the empire into a war with a biomechanical species from another galaxy that loathe technology
@@Yusef-mt1rt Sorry, I missed this comment. @brofister9682 already answered it though. I will say that not ALL of the new canon isn’t that bad, but the Legends material is overall better.
Yes YES yes! Eu is so so so full of villains and ideology’s that are so worth covering in your videos! Thrawn, Malgus, Bane, Lumaiya, and Plagues are some of the goats of Star Wars!
Day 35 of asking you to please make a video analyzing leo kasper/daniel lamb/the project from the game manhunt 2. Also, great video, my man, keep up the good work!
@ChrisDeVarro danny and leo are the most underrated video game villians mainly because manhunt made by rockstar is a pretty unknown game by them in contrast to gta
Damn vile, this one out of left field, but we Star Wars fans appreciate it! Very much looking forward to all the new Star Wars videos! Also, is it fair to say this is the most evil character we’ve covered? I wouldn’t mind that title going back to a Star Wars character.
My 3 favorite suggestions: - Analyzing Evil: Park Yeon-jin from The Glory - Analyzing Evil: Thor "The Swede" Gundersen from Hell on Wheels - Analyzing Evil: Frank from Once Upon a Time in the West
The Swede is such a good character and the actor who plays him is great. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice person but he did such a good job in Hell On Wheels whenever I see him in any other role I instantly hate him.
Wow - such a needed and wanted series. I know there are literally hundred of SW lore creators out there, but your methods of approach are not seen that often. And such promise starting with the Mnggal-Mnggal. Most people do not know that the SW universe has extradimensional entities, espcially something as strangely Lovecraftian mixed with Cronenberg as the ooze. Looking forward to so much more.
As a Star Wars fan I am both disappointed in myself and humbled that I have never heard of this character/entity until this video. I never read any of the Dawn of the Jedi books/comics. I’m happy to learn something new about Star Wars 😊
I used to really be into star wars lore when I was younger, but as I got older the interest just wasn't what it used to be, but after some of these AE episodes on star wars, I'm thinking I'm back. Great video, huge fan!!!
I pray this series does well. I need that Revan video badly

I’d also like to suggest videos on the characters and themes of Spec Ops: The Line and The Qu from All Tomorrows. I think they would make for some interesting topics to discuss.
Man! Go defend ham city!
@@timewarpdrive77 I’m too stupid for that
The character's stories bleeding into each others is what I love the most about Legends. Especially the Older Republic era, where you have some of the most captivating, interesting, and well written villains in all of fiction.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the novel "All Tomorrows" but the "Qu" really deserve an "Analyzing Evil" made about them.
Agreed
They are horrific, they are alien, I get the vibe from them yet I also feels they are gruesome in familiar way...I don't know man. What I know is that for the whole 40minutes Alt shiftX video I was rooting for their demisse
There is really sparse detail about the Qu in the story. I think it adds to the mystery and makes them even scarier
EXCELLENT WORK. THE VILE EYE 👁🗨 THE MOST EVIL 😈 CHARACTER IN STAR 🌟 WARS MNGGAL
@@thesenate1844Yeah. Most of the information we got on them is-
They're Nomadic, hyper religious. They see themselves as Gods with their superior technology, and that the universe is a sandbox to manipulate. They built a lot of their structures in Pyramid shapes. Then they left one day to find another Galaxy.
Beyond that, the last major mention of the Qu is when it's passingly said that the Asteromorphs eventually one day defeated the Qu with a combined effort from other Intergalactic aliens. It's glossed over because the "Author" didn't see it as important to the story.
The Mnggal Mnggal is kind of like a Dungeon Master and his party doing whatever they want, whenever they want for forgotten trophies. I say let’s turn its parent star into a black hole.
Also not going to lie. Feel like programming an AI with this personality.
The only thing as scary as the mnggal-mnggal is the blackwing virus from Death Troopers.
Well they're the same thing, so...
@@Idea_of_Lustre I think blackwing was a very potent form of a sith virus that basically did the same thing as the mnggal-mnggal, so technically they are slightly different
@@Idea_of_Lustre Daniel Wallace, who created Mnggal-Mnggal and wrote numerous other Legends material, stated that the similarity was unintentional.
@@tonywu3554 The blackwing zombies only keep functioning with a continuous source of the virus though- so they're kind of nerfed in comparison.
@@DFloyd84”The concept for the entity stems from H. P. Lovecraft, and Daniel Wallace also states that the similarity between it and the infection in Death Troopers was unintentional. A last-minute addition included the line that tied Mnggal-Mnggal to Imperial Project Blackwing.” It was unintentional at first but there was a tie added later
I, for one, can't wait to see more Star Wars evil character vids. I love deep lore, especially pertaining to science fiction franchises. Keep 'em coming!
Please, I want you to cover as many obscure Sith Lords as possible
We need Darth nihilus
@@Melkor8249hes not really obscure
If you ever decide to read Supernatural encounters, the unofficial silmarillion of Star Wars than you would realize the Mnggal-Mnggal is one of a family of Eldritch horrors.
He'd have enough content for at least 10+ videos on the various evil characters in SE. Darth Dreadwar would be a nice one. Same with that one dude that fell into the SW equivalent of WH40K's chaos, returned as a demon prince and reignited the belief in Hell on Corellia. The stories in that book are wild man; loved every moment of it.
A video on typhojem would be nice
SE is not official.
@@and8091 that may be true, but the deep well of new and expanded lore it contains is nothing to scoff at.
I am so excited for this mini series to develop. Revan's canonical return to the light and his potential to have ruled the galaxy has to be my personal favorite story arc in the franchise. I look forward to watching your take on them!
i'm a big fan of SW, but thanks to this, I get to know a entity I didn't knew it existed. Thank you a lot.
If you begin a bi or monthly series of SW villains, wish you the best for this new future work for the channel.
Going through the chronological evolution of evil in Star Wars will be fascinating to observe, how different eras create vastly different types of villains and monsters. It will be enlightening
To quote Colonel Kurtz-“the horror, the horror!” that is the best way to describe this abomination
@@Naked_snake_ to quote Dennis Hopper from the same film: "The heads. You're looking at the heads."
Huge Star Wars EU fan and would love to one day marathon a full playlist of your Star Wars Evil series!
Please more star wars. I learned a lot in this video and that doesn't happen much with Star Wars for me. Great video
You're such a fun guy, thank you!
Take your time with these videos, and I look forward to seeing this series play out over the years.
I don't know how to explain the rollercoaster of emotion in the first two minutes of this show. I know you liked Star Wars as you have said it before and also your OT villains breakdowns so it's not like I wasn't expecting this or hoping for an expansion on the series. But now especially in the past year or so when someone says they like Star Wars I get this visceral reaction like "is this going to be followed by lore about something I love or are they gonna say the girl with baggy pants is ugly because you can't see her ass and this is why Star Wars has been ruined". It took less than two minutes to realize you just really wanted to talk about Star Wars. It's so fucking refreshing.
Same big sigh of relief
Same! Star Wars discussion on UA-cam has been absolutely ruined by culture war grifters for years now, it's cool to see genuine lore discussion again
@@N_o196 though I know very little about legends, it has always been fascinating to me. And I seriously agree, it seems like everywhere I go there's some super negative grifter being super bigoted and I was terrified vile eye would join them
Star Wars is full of lore that needs to be explored and I hope that you d a video on the Yuuzhan Vong later down the line.
PS: That origin film that Disney is failing to do will never be canon no matter what Kathleen Kennedy or the director turn lackey known as James Mangold says.
Good for you
I can’t believe analyzing evil Kreia might be happening but it could be the most interesting video yet
The Mnggal-Mnggal is by far the most evil thing in the entirety of the Star Wars universe, even more so than Abeloth, I'd say. The Mnggal-Mnggal will literally kill a child in front of its parents and then reanimate the corpse simply for its own amusement. It spreads itself because it wants to, like the Flood from Halo, except not even the Flood spreads itself simply for its own desire.
It is rot that feeds on pain and finds sadistic pleasure in bringing absolute suffering to the galaxy.
And that's crazy because even the Immortal Gods of the Sith (evil celestials) and the Architects (Tilotny, Cold Dande Sine & Splendid Ap) were cautious of Mnggal-Mnggal's malignant appetite and infecition. Bro's very existence had galaxy level beings nervous.
mnggal-mnggal as a kind of mengele. unbothered by the suffering-experience of other sentiences. it's like looking into a child's mind.
This is gonna be a great series. There are so many dark evil vile creatures in the Star Wars universe.😊
Here are some requests:
Elfen Lied
Angelica Pickles(Rugrats)
Lex Luthor(Smallville)
Richard B. Riddick
High Father & Dante(Fullmetal Alchemist)
Vergil(Devil May Cry)
Plankton(Spongebob)
Lord Zedd(Power Rangers)
The Makuta(Bionicle)
Megatron
The Comedian(Watchmen)
Elfen Leid
*suppresses a shudder violent enough to shake my molecules apart*
5:38 Bruh look at this dude...
I saw your comment down there right when he popped up😂
Out of all the weird and esoteric evil entities in Star Wars, this is not at all the one I thought you would cover. But I’m not complaining, this is awesome
Dude the most evil creature in a galaxy far far away is a mouse from Earth.
Disney IS Mnggal-Mnggal. It takes over existing characters and turns them into empty husks, shadows of their prior selves.
Great job with covering a very obscure Star Wars character that feels like it would be at home in the SCP Foundation. Hoping the success of the video will spark more videos about obscure characters from some of my favourite franchises like Kill The Past or Shin Megami Tensei or Warhammer 40k just to name a few. Keep up the great work Vile.
So full credit, despite star wars being a well traveled, well learned franchise, you went through all the basics, and as a successful flex, i've never heard of this thing. Take a bow. In fact that's my only critic, this was such a strong foray into star wars i don't see how you can top it. Fingers crossed for war hammer 40k or old world.
It shares also many characteristics with Ungoliant from Lord of the Rings.
Amazing idea for monthly Star Wars content !
Some suggestrions:
Erik Cartman
Joe Goldberg
Franklin Saint
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji
Even more suggestions!!:
James st Patrick
Junko enoshima
And fang yuan
Yeah, can’t see why he didn’t cover Cartman yet.
He has done so many awful things to so many people, some of which weren’t even deserving of the torture he put them through.
It kind of makes me confused as to how and why I should feel bad for him after he “sacrifices” himself to save his friends.
Like sorry, but no.
In fact, I wouldn’t put it past Cartman to pretend to be homeless, because I highly doubt given his intellect and influence that he would end up in such a state.
It’s just not in character for the guy.
@@justaguyonyoutube4592I mean, the show is still going on so maybe that’s why he hasn’t been covered yet
It’ll be a long episode for sure
@@DamningTooth1
It can just be an analysis video explaining just how cruel and unhinged Cartman is.
@DamningTooth1 well he did euron greyjoy and the asoiaf books aren't done yet (though granted they will probably never be).
I would love to see Errol Childress from True Detective and the Coachman from Pinocchio
Bro just wanna say been a huge fan for a while now and man i love how the nerd in you made you keep tracing the evil back cause thats what my mind does to me and its awesome im here for it all thanks for the awesome content
I would love for you to dive into the evil characters of Star Wars, Legends continuity IMO is Superior than Disney Canon so I’d be super excited for this sub series of Analyzing Evil
I’ve barely picked up star wars recently and this type of highly quality content has been so fun to consume, hoping for more 🙏
Better than any villain Disney had made with Star Wars.
Disney is the true villain of Star Wars
If Disney had any say in this, this channel would just be called Analyzing Different Point of View.
Moff Gideon was pretty good, as were the imperials in Andor
The problem is not that disney makes bad villains.. its that they make cool concepts for villains then ruin them.
Kylo was a cool concept, a dark side aprentice still on the way up and learning his way to the top. He could have become one of the best villains by the end of the trilogy with proper development if Disney and Ryan johnson/JJ Abrams didnt turn him into star wars twillight fan fic.
Snoke had potential too, a misterious and powerful master, clearly wounded by some unknown event in the past. He could have been so much more, he could have fought palpatine in the past and lost if they wanted to tie their stories together in some form, but nah, they did the most anticlimatic, boring and character destroying arct possible.
Qimir is the only good thing from acolyte but he risk turning into yet another twillight fan fic story. Could they stop with this whole trope for fuck sake? Anyway theres potential there if they dont fuck up.
Hell even General Hux had potential as a non force user villain then they dismantled his character in the last movie.
My point stands, all of these as concepts are cool and had potential, disney just needs to learn to stick to their guns with their villains and have FOCUS on their stories.
@@brunohommerding3416Kylo was a good villain when it comes to his relationship with Rey. Outside of that, he is bad at his job.
Love this idea Vile, I'll happily watch (and like!) any Star Wars EU content you put out.
Will never stop asking for a Video on Megatron bro, PLEASE!!!🙏🏻
Dude! I agree, this has to be done one day.
Yeah i would like that too
Which one?
@@bigcgaming9042 tbh, bayverse or idw would be my picks for now
That would be excellent
Love your effort to go from Sith to Sith in order 👏 NOW THATS HOW YOU GET SOMEONE INTERESTED
You have entered in the Expanded Universe. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I can’t wait for you to talk about Palpatine’s son, the three-eyed mutant, Trioculus!
did they really name a guy with three eyes trioculus
You mean Triclops. Trioculus was a different three-eyed mutant who a coalition of Imperial politicians led by Grand Moff Hissa tried to pass off as Palpatine's three eyed son because Triclops had been declared insane and thrown into an Imperial asylum.
So Mnggal-Mnggal is basically The Thing, that's scary af.
but it thinks and sees us as a play things
gives me Halo Flood vibes too
@@sunlessshadow9498Yeah definitely sounds like Gravemind, especially how he described its speech patterns.
Yes!!!
I was hopeful that you'd cover more of Star Wars, particularly Kreia who's my favourite Star Wars Character ever.
I would love to see more starwars topics and to see the deeper depths of the Sith and there origins as it unfolds with every episode
If you manage to successfully cover every single evil character you mentioned in the intro, my life will be complete!
I've been watching the other Star Wars episodes repeatedly. This is a great idea for a series
Star Wars legends making up the coolest characters and lore just for Disney to ruin its legacy
Toxic fans try not to ruin anything chanllenge Impossible
@@TürkTeksaslı ? So saying starwars legends is good is somehow toxic?
@@Jacy-dx6dx Yes
@@Jacy-dx6dx I like both so im am not toxic
@@TürkTeksaslı that is very broken logic. Also. If you are then you are neither.
This is where the fun begins. I'm looking forward to this series over who knows how many years.
Abaloth would be an amazing video
Ah, good ol’ Abeloth.
Enough to give any a good Star Wars fan the shivers.
That would be an interesting one
I love how gnallgnall is like a mix of strange matter and a zombie plague.
Man i wish disney would've stuck with the expanded universe
oh love the creepy nightmarish stuff in star wars lore and this one has always bugged me in just the right way if that makes sense! great vid!
I'd love to see an analyzing evil on Arthas Menethil, the Lich King.
Aw he'll yeah, that'd rule
that video would be super long lmao
So "The Thing" is from the "Star Wars" universe.
OK OK OK, hear me out on this one....
Analyzing Evil - Mr. Landlord from Smiling Friends.
Is he evil ? I haven't been keeping up with smiling friends and watched season 1 in a while
I thought he was just weird and eccentric
Satan would be good since he's supposed to be evil but he's just lazy
Mr Frog could be a joke episode
@@shimshamjunior
You're thinking of Mr. Boss. The landlord is a different character from S2.
Is there really anything interesting to analyze in a show focused on comedy?
I look forward to spending the next few years keeping up with this series. Couldn't be more excited.
Life Day?
Having traumatic flashback to the Holiday Special :)
I look forward to the massive chain of retaliation and malice that shall be your Star Wars analysis series. If you go through with it, it will be truly legendary.
You have no idea how excited I am that you’re planning a dedicated Star Wars sub series! I’m here for all of it! 🎉
This is a brilliant idea and, yes, legends, canon is poison.
"A surprise to be sure, but a welcomed one"
Your star wars videos are always welcomed!
This has to be the coolest announcement you could make! I love star wars, and it'll be cool to learn more about it in this series that I love. I somehow hadn't ever heard of this character, so that's promising.
An Analysing Evil: Darth Vitiate would be awesome!
I'd love to see new Star Wars vids monthly along with the normal weekly vids
Whatttttttttttttttttttttt The Star Wars universe is bigger than I expected 1:09
Most fans are only really knowledgeable of the movies and games. There’s a whole lot of lore that typically goes unexplored in Star Wars
@@jamisonreynolds9949
What are the best sources to follow the story of a star war?
The old republic rpg games, the mmorpg old repiblic game, most of the 90ish to 2010s expanded universe thats on books and misellaneous media like table top games @@Yusef-mt1rt im kinda sad but glad at the same time that disney did not touch the ecpanded universe. It also goes far ahead of the fall of the empire into a war with a biomechanical species from another galaxy that loathe technology
@@brofister9682 thank you man
@@Yusef-mt1rt Sorry, I missed this comment. @brofister9682 already answered it though. I will say that not ALL of the new canon isn’t that bad, but the Legends material is overall better.
Yes YES yes! Eu is so so so full of villains and ideology’s that are so worth covering in your videos! Thrawn, Malgus, Bane, Lumaiya, and Plagues are some of the goats of Star Wars!
The Overmind of Star Wars controlling its version of the Zerg Swarm. Speaking of
Analyzing Evil:
Sarah Kerrigan/Acturus Mengsk from Starcraft
She has a lot of problems with her character That can seem quite dumb or ridiculous😅
Man this is the real niche of legends. This isnt in any of the games, books, microseries or such, but in obscure stuff. Never heard of this until now
Day 35 of asking you to please make a video analyzing leo kasper/daniel lamb/the project from the game manhunt 2. Also, great video, my man, keep up the good work!
Don't before I get Jax Teller and Clay!
@ChrisDeVarro danny and leo are the most underrated video game villians mainly because manhunt made by rockstar is a pretty unknown game by them in contrast to gta
Damn vile, this one out of left field, but we Star Wars fans appreciate it! Very much looking forward to all the new Star Wars videos!
Also, is it fair to say this is the most evil character we’ve covered? I wouldn’t mind that title going back to a Star Wars character.
My 3 favorite suggestions:
- Analyzing Evil: Park Yeon-jin from The Glory
- Analyzing Evil: Thor "The Swede" Gundersen from Hell on Wheels
- Analyzing Evil: Frank from Once Upon a Time in the West
The Swede is such a good character and the actor who plays him is great. I'm sure he's a perfectly nice person but he did such a good job in Hell On Wheels whenever I see him in any other role I instantly hate him.
Wow - such a needed and wanted series. I know there are literally hundred of SW lore creators out there, but your methods of approach are not seen that often.
And such promise starting with the Mnggal-Mnggal. Most people do not know that the SW universe has extradimensional entities, espcially something as strangely Lovecraftian mixed with Cronenberg as the ooze. Looking forward to so much more.
All of sudden an eldritch horror story from a galaxy far far way. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So wait this entity was the Grey goo from death troopers that's crazy never knew the lore behind that book but I always really enjoyed it.
Can't wait for the Vong in like 6 years :)
Darth kreit in 6.6 years😂
I'm surprised you covered Mnggal-Mnggal as not many people know about that entity, Looking forward to the SW videos!
Holy F****** Shit boys, into the deep lore we go 😁
so happy you jumped into this series! I’ve only watched the movies but now have so much new star wars to learn about!!
As a Star Wars fan I am both disappointed in myself and humbled that I have never heard of this character/entity until this video. I never read any of the Dawn of the Jedi books/comics. I’m happy to learn something new about Star Wars 😊
Honestly I wish I could jump to the future to get the full playlist and just binge it in one day. Let's go man!
Analyzing Evil: The Lich from Adventure Time
I used to really be into star wars lore when I was younger, but as I got older the interest just wasn't what it used to be, but after some of these AE episodes on star wars, I'm thinking I'm back. Great video, huge fan!!!
