    Why are people picking Zhao? I mean, I appreciate him as a camp factor, but he was NOTHING MORE. He wasn't threatening, he never did anything memorable, etc.

    ^^^Ok my bad about my previous post, though I am sure all of us are allowed to make mistakes...

    EDIT: meant to be for what sussit wrote.

    Back on topic I would say Long Fend would be the best secondary villain, he probably gave people the creeps the most.

    When it wasn't over loading on pure camp, it featured too much influence from spirits, bad pacing, etc.

    I way I see it, these three were the secondary villains for their respective seasons. The true main villains were an FN royal. Zuko in season 1, Azula in season 2, and Ozai in season 3.

    I actually consider Zhao the true villain. Zuko was like a sympathetic antagonist that isn't evil.

    Either Zhao or Long Feng though, to answer the question. No offense Maddkoss, but I hated CM. He never spoke and really all he did was stand from a far away place and fire lazar beams.

    I think I'd pick Zhao because Long Feng became weak after Lake Laogai. All he really did in Earth King was try to come up with lame reasons why the King shouldn't believe the kids. Then he just tried to come back, but he all too easily got owned by Azula and then we never got closure on what happened to him. I think he deserved better. I think he deserved to go out like Zhao did.

    In order to avoid anymore confusion, I have revised the name of the topic to "Best secondary villain: Zhao, Long Feng, or CM?"

    meh... I prefer the whole communist structure of certain society, DADDY issues, etc... I get that a huge portion of the show is based around Miyazaki influence, but everytime a spirit reference occurs, I find myself *jackpalming.

    Well the reason I say that is because Zuko was there in the beginning, he encounter the gAang more times than Zhao, and the gAang was more focused on him, example in episode 110, Sokka said "The reason Prince Zuko keeps finding us", he didn't say anything about Zhao.

    Zhao was more evil, but Zuko was the more frequent obsticule in the gAang's way in the first season. Being the main villain doesn't always mean the most evil villain.

    Why does spirits necessarily equal "Miyazaki influence?"

    Because the few of Miyazaki's films I've seen include spirits heavily.

    Psh. So?

    So do lots of things.

    I take it you don't care for the supernatural dimension of "Lost" either?

    Spirits are over-rated. Who needs a soul when you have money.
