...he actually did things to stop the Dungeoneer occasionally
instead of just standing around huffing and puffing...
...Fear had henchmen, Mogdred was billy-no-mates...
...Fear
had fireballs, Mogdred had a sword spell which Dungeoneers could switch off...
...Fear had eyes in the back of his
head, Mogdred wore a skull cap...
...Fear had a castle with a 16-bit colour surveillance system with stereo surround
sound and a pet Dreadnort. Mogdred had a damp cave in Level Three and a pet Gargoyle...
...Fear had a sense of humour,
Mogdred had... er...
...Fear had the Frightknights, Mogdred had some deaf and blind stumpies with drooping noses...
...Fear never wasted time trying to coax Dungeoneers into working for him. Perhaps he noticed that some spotty prepubescent
schoolkid who was blindfolded and who could only carry two objects at a time anyway wasn't going to be an enormous bonus to
his plans for world domination...
...Fear gloated, Mogdred merely threatened...
And the number one reason
why Lord Fear was better than Mogdred is...
...Fear wore a suit of skeletal armour, Mogdred wore a dress.
And now for the counter-argument...
Mogdred was a better villain than Lord Fear because...
...he was able to take things seriously every once in a while...
...he never got squashed under his own pet leviathans at the end of a quest season....
...he was a purist, didn't fool around with all that dirty cheaty
technology stuff...
...Mogdred boomed when he spoke, Lord Fear always sounded
smarmy...
...he never got beaten by anyone carrying an eye-shield (Dicken doesn't count, he went up against Malice)...
...he wasn't afraid to live in the same castle as his archenemies...
...Lord Fear kept getting beaten because
he was always wasting time gloating during the final confrontation. Mogdred only gloated BEFORE the final confrontation...
...so what if Fear had henchmen? They included Sylvester Hands and Lissard, for Pete's sake...
...Fear lost
five times in four seasons, Mogdred lost only two...
And the number one reason why Mogdred was better than Lord
Fear is...
...Mogdred never asked an Atlantean out on a date.
