I disagree. The title of best villain clearly goes to ZE MAJOR!

I sense sarcasm, but the chocolate rain and cotton candy clouds is a more long term evil plan, Diabeetus is a serious thing dontchaknow?NightmareLuna said:Ayup, this man speaks the truth. Anyone who makes it rain chocolate milk from Cotton candy clouds it surely the most evil thing ever...

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.

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 can get that, and Im not saying it isnt. But then you can put Oskar Schindler or Juror 8 up there. maybe I just didnt enjoy the novel or the movie, but i understand atticus' character, and it just seems like you could have a better hero up there.

Hamlet's Uncle did the exact same thing first. Plus he managed to kill the Hero.2HF said: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?

You have an good point but I don't think it's about what Mr. Cthulhu thinks about us little useless amoebic lives, it's about our meager and insignificant perception of what Mr. Cthulhu does to us. That is according to my standards more evil than everything else said in this thread combined...Slowpool said:Cthulhu ain't evil bro- since according to the philosophy of the Mythos, good and evil are artificial concepts that humanity made up to get by. Cthulhu is so far above and beyond humanity in cosmic importance that such a thing would seem about as important to him as an ant's food dance would to us. If amorality is evil, then yes he's evil. But he isn't malevolent.

I respect what you are saying and the manner in which you did it. Civil discourse on the net is a rarity, and it's always a pleasure to discover it.

Oh well, opinions and different strokes and such, I just dont think he's the best.

He helps the protagonist catch the bad guy. That automatically makes him not the villain.
But he doesn't sing. And if anyone could voice him, it would be Jeremy Irons.SidingWithTheEnemy said:You have an good point but I don't think it's about what Mr. Cthulhu thinks about us little useless amoebic lives, it's about our meager and insignificant perception of what Mr. Cthulhu does to us.

But you can of course disqualify him for not being a Disney character or not being voiced by Jeremy Irons, or because you simply don't know him. And while the first two are just -well- akward excuses the latter is just plainly wrong, because evil you don't know, or even begin to fathom is far more evil than some ranting villain telling you that he actually is evil while singing dancing or simply murdering people.

And already Atticus is an exceptional human being, as he's shown to have a sniper's precision with a gun. Its not that he shouldnt be a hero, but there are people on that same list, who do the same that he is heralded as a hero for.

Im sorry but firstly, in my opinion, if you think To Kill a Mockingbird is badly written you have really bad taste in literature. He doesn't simply accept the death of someone at any point he argues with the sheriff if you are talking about the very end of the book. If I remember correctly.emeraldrafael said:And again, I'll direct you to my reasoning <url=http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.315564-Scar-is-the-villianiest-villian-to-ever-villain-up-the-joint?page=5#12823641>here., because physical strength has nothing to do with it.

I just dont think that, in the same company of people he is in, he should be number one. I think that, largely, if the story had not been based upon the author's life and wasnt autobiographical in subject or if atticus had not had children, he wouldnt the hero he is, and this gets more credit then it does reserve just because it writes about race from a child's view in the deep south where race wasnt the issue it is today. Besides, ultimately he does betray what makes him so great when he simply accepts the death of someone, rather then being the moral upstanding man we're supposed to believe him to be.
...
I dont know, like i said in my post I linked to, I just dont think he should be number one. perhaps i didnt see the story for all that it was worth because it was jus atrocious to read, or i didnt enjoy the movie cause that was even more atrocious to watch, but i do understand the importance of it in the literature world and the characters. But when you put a fictional character such as atticus against the nonfictional Oskar Schlinder, Erin Brockovich, and Ghandi, or even against other fictional characters, such as Juror 8, Robin Hood, or probably the best comparison in form of fake character inspired by fictin Andrew Beckett, he just doesnt hold up as number one.
Where i would put him, i dont know, thats a lot more thought and reviewing of movies/literature then I really have time for, but he would most likely be in the the top 25, possibly the top 20, and maybe break the grounds of the top 15 for sure, and if not any of those, at least the top 40 (if you want to go by the music industry's way of ranking). Just IMHO, I dont tihnk he should be number one when faced with the competition he is.
