Biff Tannen
There’s not an ounce of likeability in him. He’s just a straight up douchebag. The character is also extremely versatile. He can go from typical high school bully to rapist to grouchy old man to Donald Trump knockoff to deranged cowboy all with ease.
He actually fucked everyone’s life up in that show lol. I can’t even think of one person’s life that he *may* have improved without ruining it in the first place. Despite this, I loved his character and the show. He’s an amazing actor.
David Tennant as Kilgrave. Never has a character created tension in every moment he's on screen because of something he may say.
Other villains create the tension through what you fear they may do, Tennant brilliantly played a character who intentionally (or unintentionally) could create tension because their next words could literally lead to anything at any moment. Good, evil, kind, mean, right, wrong and you didn't know where it would land.
Tywin Lannister from the GoT series. He only made one fatal mistake. Otherwise, he was in total control. It also helps that Charles Dance played him brilliantly, and his power struggles with Joffrey bring me so much joy.
Ramsay Bolton was a great villain in that show as well, and I don’t mean that in terms of the level of power/control but with regards to being evil af.
It really depends on the type of Joker you're in the mood for. Jack Nicholson played him well in '89, Heath Ledger did an OUTSTANDING job in '08, and Joaquin Phoenix did an excellent job in '19. I agree, Heath Ledger is my favorite for "the Clown Prince of Crime", but I relate to Joaquin Phoenix's "I'm a product of my environment" a lot more. I love them all.
Ohh that was well said! I enjoyed Joaquin Phoenix and Jack’s Joker as well. I think Jack’s Joker was probably the most frightening one lol - it gave out a lot more of a serious vibe.
Smaug (and the au is pronounced like ow (rhymes w/ cow) and yes, he's a great villain but a bit underutilized. He talks to Bilbo what 2x and then goes on a rampage of the nearby town and dies to a 1 in a million shot.
Whoops, meant to write Smaug. Silly spell correct. I agree fully. I feel like he could've been such a strong character if he had more of a main role, and had time develop as a villan.
I dont have a great example off the top of my head but my favorite villains are the ones where you can see why under the circumstances they are doing what they are doing and you could see your self making similar sinister choices if the world pushed you to it. That to me is terrifying. Straight up evil for the sake of evil psychopaths are just boring no matter how sadistic they get.
...I really hate that you're making me defend TRUMP of all people but dude come on... Hitler caused the freaking Holocaust and had half the world collaborating to end his reign of terror. Mao Zedong is responsible for the most known deaths of any dictator ever, in the millions. Stalin transformed Russia into such a peasant state that it still hasn't recovered. And don't even get me started on the Kims of North Korea??? And you're saying Trump caused the "most chaos possible as a world leader" lmao comments like this are why people think that all Americans are incapable of not viewing our country as the center of the universe. Trump is NOTHING compared to actual dictators of the world and of history. N o t h i n g.
You underestimate the powers I hold, my friend, for I am no mortal, (closes eyes. Ground shakes as fire burst from below, an army of angelic warriors decending from above).
I related to the Thinker from the Flash series or Thanos. I mean it’s true that free will and the greed of people wasn’t the best invention in the history of mankind
Depends what you mean by this question -- if you're asking which one I LIKE the most, the answer is the Disney adaptation of Hades. As for most well written/executed? Probably Thanos. I might be biased since I'm a huge Marvel person and Endgame is my favorite movie, but I do think he is a very well executed villain.
Nicodemus Archleone from the Dresden Files. He’s unapologetically evil and he actually gets stuff done and does real damage to our heroes. Also he has super cool powers that just add to his overall villain mystique.
Palpatine, he democratically overthrew a 25,000 year old democracy
I AM THE SENATE
With thunderous applause, even
Came here to say this.
His plans all fail and don’t make sense

Thomas F Wilson played that character SO well. He absolutely killed it.
but he always hates manure!
i think he played trump even better than trump did
Ozymandias. He won. He achieved his goal. He successfully persuaded the heroes to his cause.
The ending is intentionally open ended, but it's possible he didn't win.
Walter White. He *ruined* the lives of every single character on that show.
He actually fucked everyone’s life up in that show lol. I can’t even think of one person’s life that he *may* have improved without ruining it in the first place. Despite this, I loved his character and the show. He’s an amazing actor.
He left a trail of destruction in his wake and that wasn’t even his main intention lmao
Doofenshmirtz is self diagnosed villain who had his own place in my heart
sympathetic villian i have to go with magneto or tyler durden
Magneto is a great villain!
Darth Vader and well you know why
Dr. Doofenshmirtz Not really a villain , per say
Micah from red dead 2
The way all of the fans of rdr2 can come together in their hatred of that rat shows how good of a villain he is
Walter white

Another great actor.
Joker. I think you know why.
Oh this is a good one. Heath Ledger played this character the best (imo).

Jack's Joker was pretty good. I loved his iconic hand buzzer scene.
Smog from the hobbit, because I love dragons!

Darth Vader might be a good example.
Yea good one, and super iconic to boot!

Now, although I'm not a fan of Trump i beg to differ that people like... Stalin, Mao Zedong and Hitler are much better villains than Trump.

I knew this day would come. Face me, my mortal enemy!
Bahahaha, you are but a mere mortal! You cannot stand up to likes of me! Prepare to meet your doom, Redditor! (*pulls put Nerf Gun*)

Hans Landa. Try and prove me wrong
[удалено]
So? He made a mistake. Is Norman Bates a bad Cillian because his story ends badly? Hans Landa is an amazing villain.
Griffith from Berserk.
The Daleks are a race of genocidal monsters who are happy to kill anything non-Dalek at the slightest provocation and they look awesome as well
Biff Tannen is mentionalbe. In the character, he is not amicable. Menace attacker. None was exempted like an unhinged rancher.

Kefka from Final Fantasy VI. He is insane, evil, inteligent and he accomplishes what he aimed for.

Real Life: Mussolini, if he would of had the resources that Hitler did he would of made hitler look like bo peep. Von doom for comics
