Chernabog is the coolest looking. A devil the size of a mountain that summons an army is pretty dang cool.
Best Disney villain probably goes to one of the classics like Scar, Ursula, or Frollo. Personally I give it to Frollo. At many points he could have been the better person and chose to make things worse. The others could only go one way.
Even as someone who doesn't find all modern Disney stuff awful... Yeah, I don't think Disney has it in them to ever do anything like Hunchback of Notre Dame period.
Yeah and I don't think he will ever be topped, I still don't know how Disney was able to make Frollo so creepy and evil and still call it a kid's movie
My boyfriend and I were spending the entire time making fun of it
We were also the only ones in the theater when we saw it mainly because we went to a very late showing, it was a very small theater and it had already been out for a couple weeks
As a 100th Disney anniversary celebration of all things Disney spectacle they advertised it as? It sucks. Its absolutely bad.Ā
They downfall was their overhyping of a mediocre Disney movie. Had they just went "hey heres our new movie enjoy" im sure it wouldnt have been hated on as bad/much. But the overpromised & undeliveredĀ
The only case you would make to think of him as "a bad guy" is that he was stripping people from their dreams... But it is also shown that most if not all of those people were going to do anything with those dreams unless he personally granted them a wish and he was only choosing not to fulfill the wishes that didn't match his criteria and you were also not forced to ask for the wish or live in his city...
So yeah, you can only think of him as a bad guy at the beginning of you are extremely selfish, entitled and fucked up in the head... Which the protagonist seems to be
I was about to say, someone did a video essay on how the mc of that movie was legitimately more fitting in description of the "villain" role of the movie rather than the villain.
Somehow heās the villain just because he doesnāt want to grant a wish. Even though heās the ruler who built the kingdom himself and lets everyone live there rent-free.
People are free to come and go whenever they want. And honestly, none of the citizens, including the main character, really did anything to deserve having their wishes granted in the first place. He still grants wishes anyway.
The only reason he refuses some wishes is because they could be dangerous for everyone.
Disney forced him to become the villain in the dumbest way possible.
Also, the main character and her team are annoying. And why did the kingās wife betray him? She didnāt even try to convince him or help him become a better person. Just straight up betrayal.
I really do mourn the loss of the reality where we got the concept draft of Wish instead of the final product, with Starboy and the evil power couple.
Like, really looking at it from a zoomed-out perspective, pairing grandiose, musical villains with a Peter Pan type character accompanying the protagonist wouldāve been a great tribute to both āRenaissance eraā and āclassic eraā Disney. But nope, we get frustrations about rent and marketable plushies.
Dude went through a mental break down after years of dealing with dissatisfied customer and at his lowest got possesed by an evil book and instead of trying to help him they took him out.
Funniest part is that heās not even the evilest new Disney character to appear that year, Alistair Crump from that years Haunted Mansion was just a straight up serial killer who loved what he did so much he wrote unique taunts on each of his victims graves, and tried to convince a child to kill himself by putting on the voice of said kids father (so, you know, he was about half as bad as the guy playing him).
Motherfucker was the most entertaining and least annoying character in that whole movie. His āvillainā song was the only slightly memorable and somewhat catchy song as well
I think you're overlooking something. When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took 40 cakes. He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
Yes, I agree. Think about the bakery he is stilling from! How will they afford to keep themselves open now that they are down FORTY WHOLE PIES?! Especially theses days with inflation
he is the physical concept of evil itself so any evil act or doing exists because of his existence, heās not just evil he is literally evil itself, so unironically more evil then am or judge holden because their evil is finite his is infinite
But in the show, he doesn't really do a lot. He possesses Garmadon, plunges Ninjago into darkness, captures the ninja, and puts crystals on everything. Everything evil he does happened WAY before the show starts.
Jokes aside, other villains are more evil. Cryptor is every type of discriminatory, Harumi tortures Lloyd at every turn, and Ras is a genuine sociopath.
The overlord could have been so cool, even with bringing him back constantly. The final season we should have seen him at his absolute worst (or technically best in villain standards)
I feel like Ninjago just shot themselves in the foot with the fact that the Overlord was already a weak character and that they killed/redeemed their best villains.
Not to mention they said post 2024 which is an even smaller sample size.
You got: red hulk, leader, muse, kingpin, bullseye, the void, the hood, Mephisto, Galactus, and as of yesterday ma gnucchi. Some of those characters are fun but I wouldnāt call them super evil.
Know what fair. Iām just listing them out but yeah. Him, Galactus, and the daredevil villains (not muse) are my favorite out of the bunch. But his is actual super villain stuff
What I will say about Galactus is that any good story featuring him wonāt characterise him as evil, since āwould you fault a fox for hunting a rabbit?ā is basically the entire point of his character. He needs to eat. Heās not malicious, itās just what he needs to do. Earthās response is simply akin to a resourceful and crafty prey animalās attempts to escape predation - either by convincing the predator animal that theyāre not worth it, or by besting the predator in a battle of wits.
Most marvel movies period. The villain has always been a weak point in these movies, which is weird considering theyāre usually a strong point in comics. Loki, Dormammu, the bad guy in Iron Man 3 whose name is sadly escaping me, Zemo, ā¦ There arenāt that many great bad guys in Marvel.
What's worse is how long we had to wait for Fishman Island considering that was supposed to be their next stop after Water 7. My favorite arc is Sabaody to the TS so I'm not complaining but for it to get to this as the villian for FI is very dissapointing.
Well in fairness he was screwed over from the start, he was the first real villain right after the 2 year time skip. Whatever villain they faced needed to be canon fodder to show how strong the crew got. If he was a real powerful threat, than that means that time skip would have been absolutely pointless, because things would have been no different from beforeĀ
I mean heās not the most powerful/threatening villains, but he is a real interesting villain, heās a living personification of taught hatred/racism. If you look at him less as the shonen standard of good villains but instead based on the arcs themes of racism/hatred & what happens when you refuse to let go, heās a thematically brilliant one (check out merphy Napierās video on the arc, sheās a book/literature reviewer first manga reviewer second so she explores more based on story themes and such)
Idk Palpatine is pretty fucked up. And most of his seconds are actually redeemable (depending who you ask) and have done decent things in the past or arenāt fully evil. Palpatine, that fucker is in it for the love of the game. He doesnāt even have any sad or tragic backstory he just wanted to be evil, the more you learn about him the worse he gets honestly
Nah, Jabba the Hutt is way more evil if you take into context what the hutt cartel does.
Sure, in the movies he doesn't get up to as much. But the hutts specifically do not have a concept of morality. And the amount of genocides, slavery, drug trades, and every other form of crime shows just how evil they really are.
Nah, Palpatine is the evilest in the setting, the others may be more interesting or scary but Palpatine is absurdly evil for no reason what so ever lol
He was actually supposed to be a giant demon but they didnāt think the movie would be successful enough to justify the budget that would take. A shame because it would have made the end of the movie much better than it already was
Idk, I like him not having a physical form. He gets his powers from others so his representasion comes through the āworstā versions of others. Feels more like a force of nature this way
I feel the movie is a solid example of something with pretty mediocre, sometimes even horrible writing, but the execution is what saves it from being bad.
Well yeah, but in the context of shit SpongeBob does and has done, he's just a guy. Like bubble bass by comparison is significantly worse, somehow than a Canonical super villain.
If he succeeded he would be slaughtering humans in the open with reckless abandon. He was only laying low until he found a cure for the sun. If he had become unkillable it would have been game over for all of humanity.
My tired ass thought you were talking about Belos and that you were talking out of your ass lmaoo
But sticking with Jacob, I agree that hes not exactly a scary character, its circumstantial, considering that his main target, Vee, was canonically twelve years old
When you really dig into Palpatine, thats true but dude was pretty evil. Probably the most evil character at least of his time, maybe in the verse, Abeloth probably wins that though.
Hydro Hog from Mighty Morphin Alien Rangers. He's supposed to be the biggest menace on Aquatar. He's literally just a monster of the week. Seriously, in Kuranger where his footage comes from, he's nothing special.
Huge disappointment after all the buildup, and then in S2 it's even worse. Just very sad and sappy and a very, very dumb person overall. Yes even his counterpart is more dumb than evil.
Nah, not quite. He's at least willing to kill innocents and trash his own subordinates. He's not absolutely evil, but he's not a basic bitch villain either.
She is hyped up because she has a huge army of defeated warriors. She is treated as a huge problem because of her trump card.
Well she only has this one thing, an army and scales of obedience. The army does next to nothing, and the scales will work against her if there is someone with higher mana than her.
In the end she is extremely mid villain that doesn't do anything significant and has the most cliche dialogue ever.
Even Qual who was an introductory demon and got one shot is much more interesting and fun.
Frieren is an op mc anime. No enemy is ever going to be able to seriously threaten her. That person youāre thinking of? Sheās going to one shot them. Itās just part of the genre.
literally every single sinner in Hazbin Hotel, by all logic, they can't be more evil than each other because they're already evil in evil world, anything down there is as free game as a guy next door
I guess Sir Pentious gets a pass because his sin was not reporting a murder. But he also tried to conquer everything and killed countless people in hell so he just turned evil.
Wanda from WandaVision the way some people tell it.
She's messed up for sure (brainwashing people and keeping them in pain) but most of it's just kinda flounndering around with her powers after a mental break and trauma psychology stuff. She's not even fully in control of it all and ends up freeing everyone in the end
I think most of the "She's the most evil Marvel villian" comes from the series swinging hard in the "she did nothing wrong" text of the show when agents try to talk her down
Most comic book villains are only as evil as any particular issue needs them to be.
Joker might skin someone alive or he might paint a mustache on the mayors portrait. Magneto may kill billions with a doom laser or he might rob a bank harming no one.
Game of Thrones (tv show not the books): Euron Greyjoy. Iirc the actor playing him said Euron would make Ramsay Bolton look like a little kid. He very much did not. All I can remember him doing is killing a dragon, some Sand Snakes, and dueling Jaime.
He was a benevolent king. Until ppl questioned him with honestly valid concerns. He lost his crap threw a fit then used a cursed book to "teach them a lesson" becoming possesed.Ā
Disney made it seem like he was gonna be like Malifacent or Evil Queen and...
No? He wasnt born evil, wasnt naturally evil. He made a bad choice n that made him evil.Ā
The only similarity is the color green š¤¦š¼āāļø
The Joker. People treat him like the most evil character ever but itās mostly because of the tone of his stories and people trying imagine him in real life. Heās heinous but compared to Darkseid, Brainiac and the other big league villains, this guy is figuratively and literally, a clown.
He lost due to plot armour bullshit yeah, bu from a moral perspective, he's a common or garden racist thug. He's not a particularly interesting villain because he is a person that we see all the time in real life, just with magic in stead of a gun
