I liked Ian McDiarmid as Palpatine in the Prequel Trilogy movies before he revealed himself to be a completely evil Sith Lord, but I thought that he was too over the top in Return of the Jedi and Revenge of the Sith after he was disfigured by the Force Lightning reflecting back on him, and he became a cackling, evil caricature of a character, but maybe that's what Lucas was going for.

Yeah I know what you mean, like those evil loud laughters, devilish grin, over the top dialogue, he did become a bit of a caricature of a villain.

Absolutely. In some ways, though, I think that Lucas wanted him to be a caricature, because the villains in those old serials like Flash Gordon, like Ming The Merciless, were over the top like that.

It really was over the top and agreed that I preferred before he revealed himself - watching him being "good" while shaping events to his liking and shaping things in the background

Yes, the whole name Darth Sidious fit him perfectly, because he did things in insidious ways, doing harm in a way that is gradual or not easily noticed, the very definition of insidious.

Plus my having been lately obsessed with Clone Wars working on my 2nd full watch in like 2 months

Have noticed so many insidious things or comments or looks that its remarkable to see it in the series too as well

Pretty much fooled everyone That side of the character is more interesting to watch than full on evil for sure. Subtleties are always cool.
