I think Baal is the coolest Bad guy on stargate sg1

[greenlantern2814jedi]

No doubt out of all of the Goa'uld Ba'al was the best he was awesome!

[rbk17]

Ball was smarter than Ori and he could reign them if not SG-1.

@RIPjkripper I thought Ba'al was the attractive one... I suspect he might have been the closest thing to a 'fan-favorite villain'.

[RIPjkripper]

All the Goa'uld were great villians. Ra was elegant, Apophis was smoking hot, Ba'al was hilarious, Anubis had a Darth Vader feel to him, and Lord Yu was interesting. But Sokar was, by far, the coolest.

@Darrknox i agree with you on that but if you look into your favourite villain mine would be the one with style, humor, personality and being intelligent and scheming the evil part for me ofcourse counts and anubis was very evil and half ascended but for me its baal

[Darrknox]

@TheInFormer500 That's a good point. I haven't re watched that far yet, so It didn't really cross my mind. And you're right, that really does transcend Ba'al from this power hungry Goa'uld into this evil being that's extremely suited for the villain role. However, you can even so far as to say Anubis, in all his truly evilness wanted to destroy the entire milky way. With no regard for anything. Honestly you can measure all the Goa'uld contre un autre into oblivion. It just depends I suppose.

[TheInFormer500]

@Darrknox well baal wanted to destroy the galaxy with the dakara super weapon thats pretty evil, apophis didnt really have a personality baal was superior though arrogant he still managed to adapt to suituations better than apophis did baal also had a sense of humor more, self aware (unlike the most goauld) i think baal was more evil because of his plotting just look at how he was in continuum how he wanted to manipulate earth so we wouldnt despise him and also trickedtealctoworkforhim thatsevil

[Darrknox]

@TheInFormer500 Because Apophis was truly evil. He was the embodiment of the Goa'uld. Ba'al was definitely an amazing bad guy though. I love them equally as characters.

[TheInFormer500]

why does everyone love apophis so much? he was a pansy baal was much more resourceful and cunning

[lioncircleantilope]

@nagaking07 Ball? that ws his name? lol :L
