On the subject of Lord Voldemort - Oh, shite!

[themostepotente]

As luck would have it, the members of my dart team read Harry Potter. We had a discussion over beer last night about the Dark Lord, and I've come to this conclusion;

Voldemort is a fucking C-L-O-W-N!

Seriously, I think Lucius Malfoy should shove his incompetent arse to the side. I could really love the character of Lord Voldemort, but I don't like how he's continuously made to look the fool. Harry Potter foils him every single fucking time. Isn't he supposed to be the 'Dark Wizard of a generation?' He's the fucking KMART of evil, I swear. He doesn't even warrant a fucking Super KMART.

Snape betrays him, and no revenge is carried out?

His elitism revolves around 'purebloodedness' (<---is this a word?), and the fucker is a HALFBLOOD himself. Where the fuck is his defense for this?

And why doesn't he just inhabit the body of a woman for his host? I mean, c'mon, a woman would never fuck up this many times :P

I know I'm not the only one that thinks Voldemort is kind of a pussy.

So all of you writers of Voldemort, come and defend your Dark Lord.

*shrugs* What was Hitler's defense for the fact that he himself was quarter-to-a-half Jewish (his grandmother if I remember correctly), and yet he not only persecuted and killed all the Jews he could get his 'hands' on but he was rather militant about pureness of blood for the "superior" race of blue-eyed blonds? There is none, other than pure, unadulterated prejudice and power-hunger for the both of them.

Very good point. Do you like or dislike Voldemort?

Well it doesn't really matter outside the confines of fiction and fanfiction does it? He's not real is he?
I like Snape and I like Lucius. Does that make me evil?

themostepotente I agree. Voldie is a silly, silly man. He's that kind of insane that you feel sorry for, not the insanely scary like Hannibal Lector. But hey, he's good for entertainment value. And I think Fandom writers make him a bit nastier than JKR does, but that's just my opinion.

It honestly depends. I'm mostly neutral in my opinion of him. The books themselves are quite biased in their portrayal of him, not to mention he's most decidedly acting like he was driven insane in the decade and a half when he was formless.

Do I like his actions from before he was defeated the first time? No.

Can I understand his motivations for his anti-muggle rhetoric? Possibly. His background wasn't the best in the world, and I could see Harry himself heading down the same path if he didn't have Voldie to hate and to vow to never be like his enemy. The fact that his "ancestor" AND his new friends/peers at Hogwarts had a similar bias just enforced this hatred.

So yeah, if I like or dislike Voldemort usually (read: always!) depends on the author writing him. *nods*

Another interesting point you bring up about Harry. Where were you for the big Lucius Malfoy discussion, dear?

I think I was out and about recovering from either or both my exams or/and my computer back-stabbing me. It came at a point I wasn't much into any conversations, no matter the topic. ^^; Besides, I don't really read a lot of Lucius fanfics, unless they somehow or other relate to Snape or Harry. I pretty much stick to those two when reading HP fics, if only because I'm a pervy Snarry lover. XD What was the discussion about?
