Madara is a very calm and collected individual, but he doesn't come across as boring or uninteresting, he comes off as a huge badass, imo you could take Batman, wolverine and every badass outside of the naruto universe and Madara is still more badass than all of them combined.

He monologues in a way that I find very interesting and extremely convincing, he's not like so many other villains who you just want to shut up, every word of Madara's multiple speeches is very well written, and imo is the most well written character in this series.

I also find that he's only debatively evil, as he seems to want world peace just as much as Naruto or Hashirama, the only difference being the means of obtaining peace. he's not evil simply for the sake of being evil, like Orochimaru was, he just had a different way of obtaining peace.

He also has a very well developed backstory which is what I feel Orochimaru really lacked.

I'll always like how he was the one who basically gave this story a plot. Madara was the mastermind behind almost everything in the story.

I love Madara's abilities, he was huge threat, and like some other characters we never got to see his full power, which is something I really enjoy.

Madara has everything that makes a villain great and more, to me he's the villain that every other villain should aspire to be.

so who's your favourite villain in both the naruto series and in other media and why? My favorite is indeed Madara, cos his observations were entirely truthful. A Badass who kicked actual facts about the real world not fantasy, idealistic overpowered dudes like naruto & hashi

to me i feel madara's character made me see how kishi failed in finding a solution to human revenge and hatred, No character really found a solution to it.

Madara stated a universal truth: humans will never understand themselves

"yup, and his way was actually the "real" one, except for the stupid retcon which suddenly made it look like a horrible idea :) before that, i would have even agreed to his plan, i mean, why not? dream or reality, i wouldnt care, if im happy than im happy, it isnt like i feel "less happy" of a lie makes me happy ^_^

but this was what made the story go down, afterall madaras plans had been the best solution for the world-problems but the MC fought for....freedom? peace? friendship? in the end he was forced to be the wrong one since the MC needed to stay "correct", such sad ending "

Oops, didn't see this! 100% factual though! if were being truthful Naruto is a failed idealistic story, smh

same reasons i loved sasuke, he was a "real" character who reacted how 99.9% folks would have in the same situation but idealistic folks call him emo. Kishi made him give up his sensible and truthful solution just because naruto was more stubborn in his unrealistic idealogies, smh
