Chamberlin Skeksis from Dark Crystal vs Gollum


Who is a more creepier stalker of a hero?

I vote for Chamberlain as being more creepy, possibly because I first saw the movie as a child, so something "scary" is ten times scarier to a small child. But I also feel like he was never a creature you could have empathy for. With Gollum, you can see a possibility of redemption when Frodo works hard to develop a relationship with him, calling him Smeagol and trying to understand how the ring has corrupted him. You feel pity for Gollum. I don't think I ever felt pity for Chamberlain even when he was kicked out by the other Skeksis, because he always seemed evil.

So you think Gollum is a tragic figure and a sympathic character while Chamberlin is a greedy ego-driven bad guy?
