Just got home from seeing The Lion King in 3D and my opinion is now cemented forever.

Scar is far and away the best villain in a movie ever. The man (lion) is pure evil. Wittier than most villains and he actually delivers on the promise of murder and deceit.

By the way, no villain has ever had a better song in all of recorded history. Just sayin'.

Objections?
Nah, not even close to Frollo from the The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Not even close.
The character actually develops along with the story and the irony is so delicious after the middle part of the movie.

Frolo is worse, mostly because he is very realistic in the Hunchback of Notre dame

Joker >>> Scar.

Don't get me wrong, The Lion King is a great movie, but people blow the whole "Mufasas death was the saddest thing ever, Scar is SOOOOOOOOOO evil" thing way overboard.
Truth.

EDIT: Algorac, from The Sea Prince and the Fire Child, fucks everything up and only spends 5 minutes in the movie. Now that's a villain. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up!

Frollo is one of those rare villains that have their character develop along with the plot.
The irony surrounding his actions at the second part of the movie is fantastic. His personal struggle as well... I need to watch it again.

really? Atticus finch is the top hero in the past 100 years. Really? Thats just sad.

EDIT: Im somehow missing how atticus is better then people like Ghandi, T.E.Lawrence, Schindler, Batman, Superman, Andrew Beckett, or Mr. Smith, so I'll just hopefully put an end to this and say its of my opinino that he doesnt deserve to be number one He is certainly A HERO of cinema, but he is hardly THE HERO of the past 100 years in my mind. (EDIT2) however this is an opinion, so if you disagree, kindly do so quietly but dont tell me that Im wrong for an opinion.

Even though I've loved Scar, Minister Frolo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame takes it. I mean, he considers himself to be a perfect Christian, who has never sinned even though he mistreats and discriminates against entire cultures and oppresses his people, and over the course of the movie he's driven literally insane and therefore more violent because of sexual fantasies he believes to be sinful.

And again, LOVE Be Prepared, but compared to Hellfire? No contest.

Gentlemen and Gentlewomen your choices are all too obvious in my opinion,

Being a villain or beeing evil is about subtlety, ingenuity, succesfulness and stealth. If everybody knows who you are, you aren't evil. If you're talking about evil as a concept you need to specify, as Mr. Luthor puts it: I don't wash my hands, I'm evil.

Cthulhu is evil, I'm not sure if he does that on purpose because in his concept we are but amoebic cells without any sense of perception. So he probably is quite a nice guy when you are one of his type.

But I stick with him, as the most evil villain that will ever exist, considering that he is dead and still he is quite evil and fiendshly driving us humans to madness and despair, he absolutely outmaneuvers even Ming the Merciless.

Scar has a great suave, evil voice, but I think his motives are too cliche. The Joker on the other hand is sheer insanity, which adds an edge of unpredictability.
i thought for sure when i clicked on that video there would also be a link to jokerfish on the side, even though thats not him singing, but i would still assume he wrote the song!

uh evilest character? i made a thread about this a few weeks ago...

For me, I choose Solf J. Kimblee. He's also known as the Crimson alchemis. He is an explosives expert who usually turns live people into bombs.

"Ah... what a beautiful sound. It doesn't get any better than that. I can feel it deep in my bones, like a part of me I never noticed before. That sound is an extension of my being. And this land - this land that's governed by death - I will paint it red with this shard of destruction."
I'm sorry, but just about any anime villain I've ever seen is just too fond of exposition to really be evil. Kimbley falls right into that trap as well.

I'm sorry, but Gaston's song is a lot better than Scar's.
Very true, but is Gaston really a villain? Sure he's a douche and would fit right in at any frat party, but he was clearly trying to save Belle from a horrible beast with a violent temper, who had serious psychological issues, and was clearly holding her hostage against her will. I'd say that makes Gaston the tragic hero.

OT: Scar is badass. And ya, his song is pretty much top 2 Disney villain songs ever. I love how he's actually a total puss (hehe) when confronted directly and is only really able to lead from the shadows.

Imma let you finish, but Kanye Pest jokes are the funniest jokes of all time. OF ALL TIME!

But seriously, OP, I'm not feeling it.

Okay, that scene was pure epicness. My evil person of choice has to be... Calypso from Twisted Metal. He gives them exactly what they desire, just not how the expected it

Discord's an awesome character, but I'd hardly go as far as to call him the best villain ever. Do want to see more of him though.

Scar was a good Disney villain, yes, but he is heavily borrowed from a Shakespearean story already and his song is pretty high up there for a Disney villain.


If we're comparing any villain though, I can say with all honesty that this rendition of Dr. Wily wins it for the best song ever.

Edit: Yay for figuring out how to embed!

This is just speculation, but I believe he got the honour because he isn't superhuman or an action hero. He was just a normal person doing what he felt was right despite society's disapproval. That sounds pretty heroic to me.

Lex Luthor is clearly more evil.

BUT DOES HE HAVE ALL THE POWERS OF HELL?


Yea, didn't think so.

As far as disney villains go Maleficent is the most evil. Scar was jealous of his brother, Ursala wanted revenge for exile, Jafar just wants power, and Maleficent wasn't invited to a baby shower.
