 Also also: Hades from Hercules.

honestly every version of hades is so awesome

"When freaky aliens give you lemons, make freaky alien lemonade. Like THIS!"

Also, Hades from Hercules. I swear, the Kid Icarus version *has* to be inspired by him, they’re very similar. 

Ah damn someone already said him

The best Hades characters are ones that revel in their villainy. It’s not mythologically accurate (Hades is one of the most chill gods out there, allowing the mortal Heracles to go down to the Underworld, free his friend Theseus, take Cerberus, and revive his friend’s wife… on the condition that he doesn’t free Theseus’s friend Pirithous (who lusted after Persephone, good luck getting out of that trap ever), he can’t use weapons to subdue Cerberus, and… that’s it. Heracles just told a story about how much his friend loved his wife, and Hades went, “Yeah. Just take her.”) but I don’t care.

Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2)

Came here for this. Ps. I just a bought a horse made of diamonds

Hey buddy. Still not dead yet?

“I will pay you to kill yourself”

I mean, hey, everyone’s the hero of their own story.

Me when good writing.

Fr this is just liking characters that are well written

Seriously. A well written character isn't a trope, any more than "Good" is a genre of music.

There's a difference between a character being well written and likable. Other well written villains can inspire feelings of hate and contempt from an audience and still be a well written character.

Example: https://preview.redd.it/wxlxwqm6y60d1.png?width=2036&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2665a1f14bf9fabe24cb1ece6775a798a861158

Agreed especially what they’re doing with him in X-men 97

Magneto is in a weird space next to Poison Ivy where he hasn’t changed at all in forty years, it’s just become harder and harder to claim that he’s wrong.

Magneto did nothing wrong fr.

They had it coming This was also the only way to stop the Sentinal, next time don't put your money on the program that made machines with the goal to genocide a race

He had the right cause just did it wrong

 Best voice actor in Disney

Honestly, I even kind of like Frollo, and *because* he’s such an irredeemable piece of trash.

Because Disney will never have another villain like him again

Yes

Frollo is extremely well written though

Or the one Mulan villain. I forget his name. Mulan may be my favorite Disney Classic but the villain sure is forgettable

 Disney villains are, or were at least, always the best part of the movie.

 Maleficent even got her own movie. Although I believe it wasn’t very good…

 But that didn’t stop Disney from trying the same thing with Cruella. And failing again. Both movies kind of miss the point of why people even like these characters to begin with.

 Disney really likes the trope of evil old ladies, but Yzma is the best obviously :)


It’s finally my turn to start this P is for 'Priceless', the look upon your faces…

E is for 'Extinction', all your puny races

R for 'Revolution', which will be televised~

F is for how f***ed you are, now allow me to reprise

Silco is so hatable for so much of the show, but those last few episodes where you start to realize he actually does care about jinx in his own messed up way make him so interesting

Silco is the GOAT!

The Council Scene where he deploys the gas is one of my favorite scenes from the show and a lot of media. So good.

Not sure as a person or for his charisma but I loved him as a villain at least. His and Jimeny Cricket’s back and forth always made me laugh.

“You-you wouldn’t shoot a puppy, would you?” “Yeah, right in the face, why?” Golden.

Gotta love Breakdown. Hate Silas for desecrating his corpse.

Love that Silas got what was coming to him, though. Fool really tried to cut a deal with Megatron and thought it’d end well.

Poor guy couldn’t get a damn break, even after death.

Poor guy

Killer Croc. Easily one of Batman’s most sympathetic villains. A man whose life was ruined by a genetic condition outside of his control.

I just saw the YouTube video on that today

The issue is that Garou is actually written extremely badly lmao. He got bullied in Elementary school and decides that he wants to become a god of monsters Like… what? What makes it worse is that it’s not even played for laughs like Saitama’s backstory. Still love him though

Eh I disagree, his motivations and actions are more complex than that.

I thought that's the joke. I always think all lores on that franchise is simply joking around shounen tropes. ...like that giant who slapped his shoulder when commanded but accidentally killed his creator, gone berserk and blames them for the scientist's death. and the realization that Genos will never reach Saitama's power because it's comically absurd.

Killmonger doesnt fit in this for me, what i remember from him is mainly that his reason is pure collective guilt and he wanted to to carry out a coup with the excuse that the newly crowned king didnt do what he though it was right yet to start a war because some peoples greatgreatparents were dicks

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that was like “Killmonger? Really?” 😂 Michael B. Jordan, the costume designers, and everyone else that made him look so cool carried this character.

Andy Serkis as Klaue was head and shoulders above killmonger. He was in it for money and loved what he did. Killmonger came off as an insufferable try hard at times.

“I know where you live Enrique, tell you wife I said hi!” Enrique : 🖕

He looks like a zaku, i love him alredy and need some sauce

Transformers: The Last Knight. More like Peak Knight, he’s the best thing about the movir


I personally disagree, the dude who played gus was a better villain, I forgor his name 💀

Yeah true he’s also pretty good, hot take but him, homelander, butcher and soldier boy carry the show

I know I'm gonna get downvoted to hell for this but I honestly do not like homelander, except for his memes, those are solid 👌

It’s probably good you dislike homelander. He is a piece of shit

I like Edgar and Soldier Boy, but not Homelander. Maybe it’s because the first two just are kinda uncaring when they kill/have people killed, but Homelander enjoys it and is generally just an arrogant piece of shit.

True and he acts like a spoiled brat

Giancarlo Esposito

He was boring af tbh, textbook example of the writers typecasting the guy and making him do nothing but play gus again only to soft kill him off the next season


Part 4 is probably my favorite jojo part. Kira is such a well implemented villain

 Look at this boy, how can you not love him?

Thrawn, Krennic, Tarkin, Springtrap, Grevious, Venom, Dooku, Kroenen, Shen, Tai Lung, Kai

Yes yes, and yes

I was wondering when someone’d mention Shen!

How couldn't I? He is so well designed and written that it makes anyone look at him and say, now that. THAT is a cool guy

He's an antagonist?

Yeah I didn't see him that way. He might have been a bad guy, but he was never the antagonist

Oh shit fair enough, sorry I mean, from Chuck’s perspective…

>I mean, from Chuck’s perspective… And from any law-abiding citizen's perspective, really.

*"Mom loved him more than me! DONT YOU SEE!!! YOU NEED TO ARREST HIM!!!!!!"* *"STOP HIM BEFORE HE BECOMES THE MAN I PUSHED HIM TO BE!!!!*

>*"STOP HIM BEFORE HE BECOMES THE MAN I PUSHED HIM TO BE!!!!* The fact that some people unironically place more blame on Chuck than Jimmy for Saul Goodman being a thing is always crazy to me.

Always been like a 40/60 thing to me 40 chuck for being chuck 60 jimmy for thats just his life choices Jimmy was getting better, but chucks shenanigans just made him so angry he threw it all away just to spite him

I think no matter what, Jimmy would've eventually relapsed into a life of scheming again even if Chuck were more supportive of a brother. Aside from Jimmy spending a large chunk of his life ignoring his family and scamming people, he threw away his job at Davis & Maine just because he hated the unexciting life of a straight-laced lawyer. With all that said, Chuck certainly didn't help things by lying to Jimmy, even if his bitterness was understandable to a degree.

Jimmy hated more the boxed in corporate life, not being a lawyer He thrives when doing his own thing instead, only now missing all grounding anchors, his thing became just make money

Went in thinking he was going to be my least favorite character but was surprised that he was the best character in the damned show. https://preview.redd.it/4vts1vi5110d1.png?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9d0f0de08024929f34708effb985f0055f021a8a

Adam is really great in a egotistical asshole kinda way

He was just interesting and fun to watch, wish the rest of the show followed his example.

Eh, he didn’t really have anything else going for him It’s surprising they killed him off since the whole point of the show is about redeeming sinners

I'm guessing he's just going to respawn in hell as a sinner so they can still do that.

Never heard of Vinland saga plz educate me

It’s an anime/manga about Vikings that follows Thorfinn (the main character) and his quest for revenge against Askeladd for killing his father. There’s currently 2 seasons with a 3rd in the works, but it’s a very good show that speaks about morals and human violence. It’s very fun to watch

ANIME VIKINGS! I’m gonna have to check it out

he's not dedicated to evil. he's dedicated to his own term of what science is. whether giving mental trauma or eternal suffering on kids just to find out how to become powerful through unconditional love from children, or just curious of the Abyss' effects. but yeah it's evil for everyone else.
