[Disclaimer: I haven't watched a single episode of JoJo, so if you give spoilers here so help me god I will come and murder you and everyone you know in their sleep]
Let's take a moment to celebrate these types, shall we? The kind that show they're evil, and love every second of it. The kind that look like they punch babies for exercise. That always have an evil smirk and seem to think only of world domination or other malevolence all day. The Properly Villainous. Get outta here with your psychological complexity and antiheroicism, Zuko! Your cold methodicality is no use here, Darth Vader! We don't take kindly to eldritch horrors like the Reapers here. This hiah's a place for good plain ol' bad guy-ness only!
I'm making this thread having recently watched this little clip on youtube:
It immediately struck me how villainous Dio seemed just on the basis of that clipshow: the smirk, the cocky, smug attitude, his imposing stature and how he has the power to back all this up. This guy's no poser, but a proper villain, and I want to watch the show now.
Other examples include Ozai from Avatar, for mostly the same reasons as Dio:
And of course Palpatine from Star Wars
Floor's open for more! Include pics, preferably with the villain smirk demonstrated above.
