His Divine Shadow
Most of this thread is from before I saw [i]The Beach[/i] and [i]Heaven and Hell[/i], so I didn’t know who Prince really was.
I’m not saying His Divine Shadow is not evil, he’s just not as evil as some other characters. The more evil a villain is doesn’t always mean the better he is. I think His Shadow is the best enemy on [i]Lexx[/i] because his character is the most complex. Prince is just evil itself, and there’s not much real character. Mantrid has more dimension than Prince, but sometimes he’s too hard to take seriously, and he only became a major figure by standing on His Shadow’s shoulders. The being that destroyed the Light Zone wasn’t just Mantrid, he was half (or at least part) Divine Shadow.
His Divine Shadow has a Darth Vader appeal. An antagonist that is a powerful and organized evil. Yet, even in his darkest moments, there’s some humanity there.
