Poll: Who is more "evil"

[DarkElf49]

I know neither is evil, but witch in your opinion is more evil. Ix or the Teliaxtu.

At first sight I'd think the Teliaxtu :) , but the Ix in GEOD (so far, 1/2 way through) are also breaking the "human morals" of the book.

[IxianMace]

I'd say the Tleilaxu definitely because they are untrustworthy, and create gholas. Generally, they're a bunch of shady characters, especially with their Face Dancers. The Ixians are more techonology oriented, if you're referring to God Emperor of Dune, I guess you mean the part where they created Hwi Noree as a 'perfect' creation to subtly attack the emperor Leto II. But in that case they were just trying to get rid of the emperor due to his oppressive laws and his prescience.

[ordos45]

It depends on your views of evil. I would have to put them in a tie.

The Ixians are notorious for stretching the line between humans and machines in the likeness of humans throughout the books. They are violating morals, etc.

The Tlielaxu, they freak me out. They're twisting of genetics, creating replicas of the dead, etc. Its just not good in my opinion, yet not entirely what i consider evil.

So I'm divided on the issue.

[Caid Ivik]

In first were "supreme evil" Shaddam IV. and Harkonnens, in Messiah Tleilaxu, in Children Alia, in God Emperor Ix and in Heretics Honored Matres.

[vidiware]

never read the books but i look at ix as the 'good guys' IX Rules... IX shal rule your computer!

[Anathema]

I'd call neither Ix or Tleilax evil- maybe the honoured matres.

[Dante]

Everyone is evil from another point of view. The Tleilaxu are/were religous fanatics and saw everyone else as evil. But everyone else say them as 'the dirty Tleilaxu.' It all depends on your point of view.

(But I'd say the REALLY evil ones are the Honoured Matres.)

[TMA_1]

Your right viscount in many ways. Each is evil in their own way. its a given with power structures.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

Ix are not evil. They are the Atreides allies, how can they be evil?

And of course the teilaxu are evil, they are almost as pure evil as possible...well of course the Harkonnens are even more evil, but that is impossible to vercome.

[Dante]

And it did say in the books that power doesn't corrupt, it merely attracts the corruptable. Meaning that anyone in a position of power is threoretically evil.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

I read that today in Children of Dune acctually.

And the harkonnens should have more power so that they seem more evil

[TLContaminator]

Tleilaxu becouse what we do is ilegel

so we are evil thats whats make us good

[Emperor Harkonnen]

hm, do you think that the harkonnen spice stockpiling is legal, or the production of atomics?

and what is it the tleilaxu doers which is illegal?

Ix probably produce computers

[Gunseng_Harkonnen]

Ix isn`t evil at all for me. And Tleilaxu in House Atreides made this war on Ix. So the are worse not only than Ix...

[Khan]

Yeah tleilaxu are definately more evil

[Emperor Harkonnen]

To be evil you have to be sofisticated also, orelse you are just mad.

and that is exactly what House Harkonnen is, with their devious schemes ;D

and I didn't mean that Ix is evil, I just meant that they also do illegall stuff. and they couldn't be evil, cos their atreides allies.

[Colonel_Worf]

The Tleilaxu, definetely.

[Acriku]

Ix are evil in the sense of Dune. They arrange design and sell shrubberies, err thinking machines/technology and thus so forever carveth in stone as heretics.

In the sense of present day reality Earth, Tleilaxu because making computers is fine, but cloning people for slaves/further use is more evil (maybe not very evil, but more nevertheless).

And you can save your "read the thread you idiot that's been said already" I am too lazy.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

what is thje point of cloning expenisve slaves when u can just find them in a village on your own planet ;D

[Mad Rhetoric]

Tleilaxu.At least the Ixians don't steal the dead......And the ix don't reproduce themselves when an infeltrator explodes near a group of units.

[Inoculator9]

I vote the Tleilaxu.

[Sarahbones]

I'd say the Tleilax are more evil but also have the capacity to do more good. The Ixians are trying to copy the human mind. The Tleilax are tampering with human genetics. But a thinking-machine is at best a thinking-machine, whereas the Tleilax are able to "revive" lost loved ones and other relics of the past (not that they would do it out of sheer kindness or anything).

Revive?LOL! ;D Unless someone wants a disfigured zombie going arounfd and slapping them with muck than nobody would want them.

The Ixians are trying to copy the human mind.THE TLEILAX ARE TAMPERING WITH HUMAN GENETICS.

[Anathema]

Mad, I assume you haven't read the books?

The Tleilaxu can make genetic duplicates out of corpses, though they initially didn't have the ability to give the ghola back the memories of his "past life".

OK,I know that,so i mean,why would someone want a replica of lost loved ones when it is going around killin people?*Thinks of your grandma going around with a chain gun and gunning people down* ;D ::) ^-^
