Funny you should use that picture because I really hate that movie and could only watch it once. :D Gaston was so much more entertaining than that stupid Beast. :P
In Bound by the Heart, I thought the villain Bennett Winfield was the best part and overshadowed the hero by far. :D

Hmmm...I've yet to indulge myself on that book, either. Someone mentioned you had a partiality to it though? :D

Given the annoying character stack, I can see why many would find fault with the series; I only, truly--ever championed a slight few..and they were the questionable ones.
Darken Rahl
Shota

I was tryin' to dig up a rendition of Darken Rahl from the book, but the shittastic pictures of Darken Rahl from the show, were flooding the engines. I watched only one episode, and shrank away indignantly. Whilst I adore the actor, the tv series ripped the book seven ways of Sunday. No thanks!
I used to have a couple, I'll go into research mode. Lol
IF a realistic view of Darken Rahl could be used, it would be his LotR's version, because his long blonde hair.
These are only acceptable to me, with blonde hair though. I shudder to think of the inaccuracy they contrived to sell for public interest. -.- When I discovered that Darken Rahl was Richard's BROTHER in the tv show....I flung the remote, and turned off the tv immediately. WHAT????? It has about the tangibility to the novels, as Xena does to Mythology. >.<

Was the show The Legend of the Seeker? I watched an episode and said WTF after I found out that it was based on the Goodkind books. But I kept watching it for the patented Xena/Herc lulz (same team created this one).

Me too, that's as bad as the book cover issue I have :D
Tessa of Destiny had a bad guy who kept leaping in and out of the story whenever the authors wanted Tessa to pick up her skirts and run to another country. He would literally dash into a scene and say something along the lines of, "Now I have you! You are mine!" and then she'd escape again.
I didn't go all umph umph over him, but his moustache-twirling gaslight villain antics were the most amusing thing about the book. :D

Sometimes the villains suit my penchant for life squandering revenge and the indisputably mal-intentive hankerin' to rid of every last one-celled organism the author used for a character placeholder. lol I mean really... villains need reformed too! So, tragically obscured souls may jus' take a little longer to replenish and clear out the black maggots and junk. >.>
Heh heh.
