Hey Pandas, Who Is Your Favorite Movie Villain, And Why? (Closed)

Of course 'joker' he does not have superpower but still he challenges superhero.

Clyde Shelton from Law Abiding Citizen. You really can't blame him for his vengeance.

Venom. Gotta love anti-heroes. :)

dr. doofenshmirtz from phineas and ferb. the poor guy was just trying to be happy.

Dr. Terwilliker (Hans Conried) in "The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T." (1953). Dr. Terwilliker is an evil piano teacher who enslaves 500 boys to forever play a giant piano. This absolutely brilliant, and bizarre, movie is written by (Dr. Seuss) (Story, screenplay and lyrics). Catch it! You'll never forget it.

Madame Medusa from The Rescuers. She is like Cruella De Vil on steroids. Cruella only ever planned to kill 101 dalmations to make a coat, but she never stooped so low as to adopt an orphan girl just to keep her as a slave and forced her into an underground cave to retrieve a rare diamond. She also had two pet crocodiles that acted like her bodyguards.

Hans Gruber in "Die Hard". I soooo wanted to be kidnapped by him.
I'm glad that Alan Rickman graced us with his presence in many more movies after that.

I have two favorite actors who played villains with class and intelligence. They could be, and often were, cruel, but they were also the epitome of what a "real" villain should be. They were not brutes, they were not cutthroats, they were devious, intelligent and scary as hell. And those two actors were Basil Rathbone [THE Sherlock Holmes] and Robert Douglas. The absolute best swordfight was Robin Hood [Errol Flynn] and the Sheriff of Notingham [Basil Rathbone]. You knew that they were "evil" but, ohmygawd, you couldn't help yourself swooning over them. Alan Rickman is a modern day incarnation of that type of character.

Bane from The Dark Knight Rises, without a doubt. Rich little man to Bane: "stay here I'm in charge", "do you feel in charge?", " I paid you a small fortune", "and this gives you power over me?"... I just can't help but root for him whenever he confronts the rich and corrupt. His presence, demeanor, and attitude - So well played by Tom Hardy

El Guapo from the 3 Amigos, legendary!

Alan Rickman in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves. He's hilarious. On 2nd thought the Alan Rickman villain in all his villainy

For TV, it's Gus Fring hands down...man built up a criminal enterprise from nothing, and some startup wet-behind-the-ears gringo blows his face half off.

For film, my sentimental favorite is Frank Booth (Blue Velvet). Hideously twisted and perfectly portrayed by Dennis Hopper in a deliciously off-the-rails performance.

Maxwell “The Wizard” Wallace played by Robin Williams in the movie August Rush. Robin played the villain so well, because he is so likable, and acted like he had Evan’s best interest at heart, but the whole time was using his musical talents to make money.

Colonel Tavington (Jason Isaacs) in The Patriot. Pure evil.

Mama Fratelli (Goonies) or Clarence Bodicker ( RoboCop) for me

I can't pick my favourite movie villain so I will add two:

1. Syndrome because although he was considerably evil, that evil was born out of jealousy of Mr Incredible and all the supers that have powers and the rage that he wanted to be helpful but Mr Incredible denied him the chance to be helpful all because he doesn't have powers even though he is amazing at inventing stuff and is generally right to believe that to leave powered supers unchecked would be a quick path to chaos and destruction.

2. Screenslaver because she helps raise the statement of powered supers going uncheck would lead to chaos and destruction but adds a new twist to it by adding the question, "What were to happen if an unchecked super were to turn evil?"

But if you were to ask me who were my favourite villains of all time, it would have to be both Light Yagami and Tsukasa Shishio because they are both right in believing that a world without the greedy and the unpure of heart would be a paradise for those who are tortured by those kinds of people.

Roger "Verbal" Kint aka Keyser Söze from "The Usual Suspects"

Michael Myers because no matter what you do to him, you can't get him to stop.

Gene Hackmann. The untochables, the firm and many other movies...

Quinn from Into the Badlands...

He just has this tremendous charisma and aura I wish I had.
