Also, people want to have character deaths, but don't want to feel bad/sad about it, hence 'really evil' characters are great scapegoats. Of course, having a 'Trying to take over the world' character is just down right stupid. (Unless done right, eg the two L(s)) But in any case, personally I just want to see some villians without having to go through their dramatic past or having to know why they did what they did... EDIT: @raidou I already edited, it was only 4 (Carol, Vita, Rein and Lutecia)

I'd rather have villains with dramatic pasts, than "RAWR, I AM EVIL" villains. Everyone needs a reason, and "RAWR, I AM EVIL" villains tend to have more comedy leaning reasons. Things like "I'm bored" don't really fit. I don't mind crazy-type villains (Precia) but they had best have a reason for being crazy.
Wait, isn't character death just for sake of character death a little pointless? Oh, and this is only the third series. If all the villains were homicidal maniacs you'd probably be asking for more reasons. |

So okay, I don't mind the 'I'm doing this for a reason' part, but for the last two season, it's been the SAME reason. "I'm doing this for [name of loved one]" Quote:

This isn't Gundam QUITE yet. Killing people to "advance the plot" kind of shows a lack of creativity in my opinion... At least, if it is a character that cannot be sympathized with. That is a little more than a plot device, and somewhat lame one at that. What would be good is a character death that moves the plot along AND moves the audience. Only problem is that that kind of development usually only works on the "Good Guys" team. That would counter out the "evil villains just to have someone you don't care about die", which would defeat the purpose.

I agree that "RAWR I'M PISSED" and "ME WANT POWAH!" villains generally tend to be pretty boring. |

Yeah, maybe the wording wasn't the best... I just want some fights to the death. Its about time that Nanoha's awesome fights meet some nice brutal ends for once. Edit: Well, maybe we don't agree completely. I don't usually find them tragic. |

It would have to be someone besides Nanoha representing the good guys though. Maybe Fate, Vita, or Signum. Nanoha and Hayate just seem too nice to actually kill someone. Well, normally.
Edit: I have a strange way of categorizing actions. A good deed for a good reason is good. A good deed for an evil reason is flawed. A bad deed for a good reason is tragic. A bad deed for an evil reason is evil. A tragic character is still understandable, and as such is still someone that could somewhat easily be sympathized with. A truly "evil" character lacks that quality. |

I agree with Hayate (unless someone kills one of her friends), but I could see Nanoha tuning violent if she got fed up enough with a villain. She showed shades of it towards the end of As. |
