Villains you actually rooted for

What are some villains you had hoped would succeed?

Fu Manchu

...

...

Sheriff of Nottingham

Because of the narrative or because Rickman ran an acting clinic and BTFO of everyone else in the film?

...

...

He died a true American

...

Is that Neil Gaiman?

these

Oh wait, you said "villains"

Was he the most misunderstood "villain"?

All 3 villains desu

...

...

>Turns a dying, corrupt, immoral, and divided Republic into a powerful galactic Empire with a hierarchy that ceased to be built upon an impotent bureaucracy
>Justifiably purges the child-brainwashing, cult-like, militant religious fanatics from the inner circle of the galactic government, having showed immense leniency up until they drew first blood in a (failed) coup-turned assassination attempt - against a democratically elected leader no less - in their vain effort to secure their jealous stranglehold on the politics of the Republic, and to secure their unjustified denominational hegemony on the force as a whole.
>Coordinates and then destroys the powerful (((banking clans))) and corrupt (((trade federations))) that had preyed on entire planets, like his own homeworld of Naboo, with next to no resistance from the Republic that came before him
>Transforms Coruscant from a wartorn planet with a visible crime and drug epidemic into the secure heart of the Imperial galaxy
>Restores order to the galaxy/makes the galaxy great again
>Promotes an explicitly non-dogmatic view of the force, instead of the psychologically oppressive and aggressively closed-minded view of the Jedi
>Promotes the ideas of love and family (supporting Anakin and Padme’s right to be together, to have children) over the Jedi doctrines of total chastity and emotional repression
>Raises and acts as a father figure to a deeply troubled young Jedi for many years, only for said Jedi to be ambushed, horrifically burned, and forever maimed at the hands of an outlaw Jedi master for the apparent crime of being an apostate to the Jedi Order
>Eventually assassinated in a plot by fugitive Jedi masters, and the galaxy is once again plunged right back into the darkness and unforgiving chaos that he’d spent his life and rule keeping at bay, completely and undeniably vindicating his actions.

>Was he the most misunderstood "villain"?
Without a doubt.

...

worst meme

>Anakin, if one is to understand the great mystery, one must study all its aspects, not just the dogmatic narrow view of the Jedi. If you wish to become a complete and wise leader, you must embrace a larger view of the Force. Be careful of the Jedi, Anakin. They fear you. In time, they will destroy you. Let me show you the true nature of the Force.

"Villain"

didn't want him to win per se, but I did want him to kick the living crap out of that obnoxious fat-ass panda.

fantastic character and acting. I wanted him to win just so he'd stay as a major part of the show.

Barbara in Gotham did absolutely nothing wrong and I was hoping she would kill Lee

Pan is an obnoxious little shit who was willing to let Wendy drown for a chance at some mermaid poon. All Hook wanted was to salvage what little dignity he had left and avoid a mutiny.

...

After Tai Lung and Shen this guy was shit tier. Boring backstory, boring fighting style and J.K. Simmons' voice doesn't have the same grandeur as Gary Oldman or Ian McShane.

Fuck yes. It's like the message of the movie was: If injustice happens, you'd better just sit back and take it, otherwise you're the villain.

He did in the original version before Jamie Foxx threw a shitfit.

...

Perfect movie ruined in the last 10 minutes.

fuck those blue aliened fucks and those species betraying humans
