You're telling me you wouldn't take candy if a face this charismatic offered it to you from a rusted van with blacked out windows?
Not buying it.
Anywho, yeah, given the reception he received from fans and critics alike in TCW and even the controversial prequels... I'd say the notion that ol' Sheev isn't exceedingly popular is a pretty dumb one.
The source of that enduring popularity really isn't that difficult to grasp when you consider that he's been consistently and painstakingly depicted as one of the most formidable baddies in mainstream pop culture, let alone in just Star Wars.
Now given that you're clearly not a dumbass, I can only conclude that your reluctance to accept the blatantly obvious owes to a deep and longstanding resentment of Sheev, most likely regarding a Star Wars villain you like better but has nonetheless been overshadowed by him.
Could indeed be Vader. But I suspect it's Nihilus. mmm
