Please Help Me Name my Villain?
I need your help. Please help me name my villain?
I’m a Disney artist, a traditional woodcarver. Every now and then, someone will ask me if I ever carve villains. People actually like a “good” bad guy, because they always know it’s just pretend.
But no one ever commissions me to actually carve one, and I’ve always wanted to. So I decided to make up my own villain.
When we think of villains, we know in our hearts that it’s really just good storytelling. Disney villains might be scary, but they always lose in the end, right?
But not this one.
My villain is real. He doesn’t get defeated. He just keeps turning the dial. And he’s coming to get us!
Allow me to explain…
For most of my life, people have always been opinionated. We disagreed about politics, about religion, about all sorts of things; but we still basically respected each other. We still loved one another. We still hung out with one another, still got along. Our differences really weren’t much of a thing.
But something has changed.
Now, it feels like division isn’t just happening—it’s being cranked up on purpose. And I think my villain (and his evil superpower) may be the reason why…
He’s an AI swamp slime creature, lurking in the digital muck of the Twitterbog… or maybe the Metabog? A six-fingered monster with his hand on the controls. And his superpower? He turns the dial.
First he turns it this way, then the other.
It doesn’t matter who’s in charge. No matter who’s in power, he stirs up the worst emotions in half the people, then swings it back the other way. One day, it’s this side. The next, it’s the other.
He feeds on politics, on religion, on anything that keeps people at each other’s throats. And the crazier things get, the stronger his superpower becomes, the more opinionated his victims become.
And as he does so, he evilly exclaims: MWWAARRRG-HEH HEH HEH!!!
And just when it looks like things might finally cool down, just when a sliver of hope looks like it may be on the horizon…
He slams the button on his evil Meme Machine.
I even gave him six fingers just for that button!
I’ve been thinking about this and have a few names in mind:
Dredge? Baitlord? Sludge?
By the way, I’m also working on his “Good Guy Superhero” counterpart too. His superpower is going to be “LOVE” and he’s going to win in the end. I can’t wait to tell you more about him. He’s going to need a name also.
But before I ask for help with naming my Good Guy Superhero, I want to hear your ideas.
What would you name this bad-guy villain?
