I totally disagree with this take on Chaotic evil. A chaotic evil isn't moron (can be like any alignment). To basically explain Chaotic Evil: There is 2 axis Law - Chaos and Good - Evil. Chaotic Character don't care about following laws (doesn't mean they don't follow it!! Or break it just for fun, they COULD break it for fun... they don't have to), They normally follow their ''passions, needs and ambitions" - BUT they won't do that if it will put them in so much trouble that their own survival is in jeoparday. Chaotic : He follows the law IF it suits him to. Evil characters are selfish, don't care about other but themrself and causing pain and suffering to others is not to be condemned (doesn't mean they must be violent!! Or do bad stuff just for fun, they COULD do evil for fun... they don't have to). These characters have STATS... so a WISE chaotic evil might consider the consequences of doing sh!tty stuff. You don't HAVE to be violent O_O That definition in the player Handbook is SOOO reductive. Fook DnD 5e and it's BS. This AD&D 1e definition: The Major precepts of this alignment are freedom, randomness, and woe. Laws and order, kindness, and good deeds are disdained. Life has no value. By promoting chaos and evil, those of this alignment hope to bring themselves in position of power, glory and prestige in a system ruled by individual caprice and thgeir own whims.
I have to disagree with you about Doctor Doom. He is about as LAWFUL Evil as it comes. He is a tyrant. He wants to (and does) rule. He has a code of honor (if he gives his word, he keeps it, albeit with a self-serving twist.) There is nothing chaotic about Doctor Doom. Even The Joker strikes me as more Neutral Evil than Chaotic Evil. He won't just hurt or kill someone for no reason. In his twisted logic, he will commit such actions only if he finds it funny. That suggests a limited form of predictability, and thus he is not chaotic.
Even Chaotic NEEDS reasons. Chaotic = you don't care about rules. THAT'S IT. You can rule and be Chaotic, you won't follow the law... YOU made it for others... you are above that. You can have a code of ''honor'' (prolly gonna be twisted) Keeping your word because it's USEFUL to have people trust you, isn't the same as keeping your word because you value it. A chaotic evil character could live a life like an exemplary citizen. He never had reasons to break the law (yet), and never saw anything to gain by being an ass (yet). Willing to do both IS Chaotic Evil... even if you never did.
I think of Jarlaxle from D&D/The Forgotten Realms.
Really liking your videos. Keep them coming please.
Thank you. I appreciate the praise! Thank you for watching my videos.
I enjoyed the video, music was a bit to much imo. Smart going for more energetic, just a bit to distracting.
