Who would be in the running for 10 greatest fictional villains of all time?
*SPOILER ALERT* My pick would be Baron Vladimir Harkonnen from Dune. In the movie he's kind of wacky and weird, but I'm talking about the book's version. This guy was the epitome villainy; he was cunning, ruthless, underhanded, totally irredeemable. On top of that he did pretty good as a villain, having killed the Paul's father and destroyed his household. Who the fuck could have considered that Paul would not only escape but also be the fucking chosen one and gather an army of sand people and gigantic worms. Their is no way he could have conceived of that happening so this main lapse is forgivable.
What are your picks and why Sup Forums?
Jeremiah Phillips
Jesus.
Leo Rodriguez
Long John Silver from Treasure Island. I love nautical and pirate themed stuff and he was cunning, ruthless, easily understimated and hugely charismatic. After him Agent Smith from the Matrix.
Jordan Morales
Donald Trump. Hid weapon Starange H'air is more original yet compelling than any others
Nathan Ramirez
...
Nolan Gonzalez
...
Henry Perez
reasoning?
Jaxson Hernandez
...
Jose Peterson

Carson Wood
Except he DID know Paul's lineage and what he could be. The Baron was hoping Feyd was the kwisatz haderach (or at least another step closer).
Brayden Hill
the government 1984 Joker (the nolan version) Dorian gray (I'm not sure who the real villain is but the effects qualify) the cemetery (Pet cemetery) Hannibal Predestination (spoilers) the car (Christine, I'm a sucker for kings work) Tyler durden (the book is way better) the world (atlas shrugged)
Brandon Foster
and to make it 10, I'll add Shogo Makishima psychopass
Jordan Howard
he was a badass and had the best scenes. she was creepy and her face is cool no bad guys stayed badasses for very long in dragonball but when he first appeared he was a stylish badass. mr. lahey needs no explanation
Evan Gonzalez
Adrian Veidt (Watchmen) Auric Goldfinger (Goldfinger) Joker (Batman) Alex DeLarge (A Clockwork Orange) Agent Smith (Matrix) Darth Vader (Star Wars)
Luis Campbell
I agree. I have read the book several times and the way the character is portrayed is like no other
Aiden Flores
ALL HAIL LORD FRIEZA!
Hunter Cooper
Is it safe..?
Carson Bailey
Machine Gun Joe
Robert Sanders
I'm sick of your half-breed interference!
Connor Johnson
Damm it you beat me to it!
James Watson
...
Juan Bell
Seconded. This man is fucking evil
David Morris
Hitler, because everything he allegedly did wrong was fictional.
Joshua Cook
Counting Pixar movies, my favorite disney villians in this order are Yzma (Emperor's new groove), Syndrome (Incredibles), Long John Silver (Treasure Panet), Barbosa (Pirate's of the Caribbean), Hades (Hercules), Chef Skinner (Ratatouille), Mcleach (Rescuer's Down Under), Jaffar (Aladdin) and Rourke (Atlantis).
Brody Rogers
The Governor, Walking Dead from comics, and novel
Hudson Hall
Fear is the mindkiller ... comon i fear no villain
Ryder Fisher
Dagoth-Ur and Sauron.
David Roberts
Mr. Teufel
Gabriel Collins
is the first thing that comes to mind, but he doesn't really serve as the villain of his own story
Evan Powell
this
Zachary Torres
Syndrome was a detestable insecure dick and you got to see him turn from a regular kid into a murderer, unusual for disney. Also he was a caricature of Brad Bird.
Forgot to mention Yzma, Disney's most underappreciated villian (perhaps next to Mcleach). Hilarious, repulsive, no moral center, and terrific voice acting by a legend. Very expressive even by Disney Standards.
Tyler Brooks
“War was always here. Before man was, war waited for him. The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.”
Nothing in fictional universe has ever scared me more than The Judge. And I have read the scary shit.
Colton Hernandez
I think Judge Holden is second only to Satan as the best fictional villain. That is, if they're not the same.
Anthony Scott
I'm a big fan of the character from the book but this is my favorite version other than that. He's a classic villian and this version stayed true to his ambigous cunning nature, plus awesome design. I wish disney would make more movies like Treasure Planet. From an artistic and creative standpoint I'd say it's Disney's most ambitious movie ever and had a much appreciated more mature theme.
Jaxson Myers
eh, I really liked his character
then again, I was the ten year old with a love of science, history, and technology so I really connected with him
he's always been my favorite character in one of my favorite disney movies
Evan White
say what you will about the series but Barbosa was consistently a highlight and a nod to the classic idea of pirates.
Cooper Rivera
perhaps disney's most charismatic villian, enough said
Ian Barnes
one of Disney's more low-key villian's from a low-key movie, he was diminuative but intimidating and hilarious.
Ian Hughes
team rocket: theyve been making excuses for decades why they keep on chasing ash's pikachu specifically and basically nothing else spending a fortune on it and cannot be dissuaded from their deeds, regardless of how many times they fail how drastically and does not care how many more pokemon ash gets...
Bentley Cook
Most evil villain I can think of, all white men who support and allow these monkeys to riot outside the zoo. It's chilling.
Austin Wright
Honestly thought you were talking about team rocket power. Made absolutely no sense until I stopped being retarded
Robert Anderson
no one ever mentions this villian but he lights up the screen better than perhaps any disney villian whenever he appears thanks to his terrific design and larger than life voice acting. He was ruthless, charismatic and thanks to him being a more realistic villian surprisingly evil. And his truck is seriously badass. look it up.
Cooper Garcia
oops here's pic.
Jeremiah Barnes
Jafar was a very by-the-books villian done right.
Sebastian Lopez
Rourke was a classic twist villian. Thanks to the movie's surprisingly mature theme he was more ruthless than usual and he had perhaps the coolest death sequence of any disney villian. Side note, the Netflix version of Atlantis is heavily altered and cencored.
Lincoln Smith
honorable mention: Bill Sykes from Olliver and Company. A surprisingly dark and realistic depiction of a crime lord and one of Disney's least kid friendly villians.
Ethan Allen
honorable mention: Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Wonderfully twisted villian played by the legendary Christopher Lloyd. Not a kids movie at all and it featured many non-disney characters so I don't really consider it a "disney" movie.
Jeremiah Davis
honorable mention: the Horned King from The Black Cauldron. Visually Disney's most scary villian from one of their most artistically creative and mature movies (though the movie's tone ranged from silly to horrific and save for a few really cool scenes wasn't very good)
Chase Cooper
this man was the good guy
humanity above all
Nathaniel James
>Judge Holden gonna read that now. thanks.
William Gomez
Gul Dukat, no doubt about it.
He's the most slick, charismatic villain I've ever seen. And keep in mind, one of the other Cardassians in the show is the same guy who played Scorpio in Dirty Harry, and Pinhead in Hellraiser.
Gul Dukat literally fucked the mom of one of his enemies. He was space Hitler for the space Nazis, and even with the knowledge that he was a ruthless oppressor who's hobby was grooming the local women, he made sense. They had to make an episode especially to show people that he was a bad guy, because he's just that convincing.
Nathaniel Perez
>commandeered a klingon bird of prey using nothing but a cargo ship and the daughter of one the wenches he fucked once
Elijah Sanders
And the daughter of one of the other wenches he fucked.
Eli Sullivan
No one from Dragon Ball is going to be a greatest ever anything, faggots:
MAJOR CHIP HAZARD BECAUSE HE WAS THE MOST BADASS TOY I OWNED
Sebastian Nguyen
The Baron didn't know: what the kwisatz was, or Paul's lineage (both Bene Gesserit secrets).
Connor Bennett
thanks for reminding me of this character, he was my favourite thing about DS9. My favorite star trek series other than the original was Voyageur however.
Elijah Campbell
If we're counting video games, pic related for obvious reason. The amount of cunning and shit she managed to pull was unbelievable. Handsome Jack was also one of the best villain in video games history. For movies, one of my favorite villains was Yzma in Emperor's new groove. I really enjoy a villain that goes past the "I'm baaad" stereotype and really bring something to the movie. Barbossa in Pirates of the Carribean was in the same category.
Carson Sullivan
Man, I really don't like Voyager. What's the appeal to you?
Owen Hernandez
Egg man from sonic should be in there somewhere.
Nolan Cooper
PIGS
Ryder Thomas
I'd go for The Judge From Blood Meridian, or The Joker, the one that skinned that guy alive.
Adam Scott
Shit, beat me to it. Best villain for multiple reasons.
Elijah Hernandez
From an origins standpoint then the Snake from Adam and Eve is pretty much the king of villains, or Eve.
Christian Nguyen
Iago from Othello. He's the paragon of a nihilist, everything he says and does is calculated to cause some kind of destruction, death, or personal gain
Isaac Hill
This jesus dude and his many stories dying and comming back alive was the best zombie store to this day.
Austin Green
I liked the overall tone of desperation. They were trying to overcome enourmous odds and simply survive. It made it feel more cohesive and gripping then the other series which just sort of meandered between plots. The Borg were the main antagonists plus the Borg Queen was cool. The episodes that explored how the borg operated were really interesting. 7of9, the Doctor and that head case played by Brad Dourif (terrific underappreciated actor) were all terrific characters. I thought the finale with all the time travel and moral grey areas was good and the 2 part "Year of Hell" episode is my favorite episode in any star trek series period. Also I liked Janeway more than Sisko and I recall the series having some of the best used special effects.
Luke Murphy
Well, this nigga is the only one that has fulfilled the classic villain's dream of quonquering the whole world
