Kyyle23 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) Voldemort really, guys? And the Saw franchise is terrible, but that discussion has been rehashed over and over on this board. Feel free to submit your own list that lords over everyone elses lists The quality of the overall film doesnt always effect the quality of a good villain. I look at the body of work, how many lives are affected and destroyed, the type of damage inflicted etc. There was a lot that went into it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems too young for guys posting on this site to vote for. We all grew up with Disney villains. Harry Potter came out when most of us were 20+.

Imagine how you would react if i said the exact same thing about a villain you chose, you would defend your choice too. I thought Fiennes was an intense, scary and completely heartless villain, and Voldemort was even moreso in the books. I also know that there are plenty of extremely good villains that were left out of my list unintentionally(totally spaced out on two MAJOR villains and didnt feel like resubmitting and giving knightni more work to do), but these lists will probably look different for all of us 10 years from now. Except for flasoxx. he probably will always have the same list of classic horror villains from now until the day he dies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Harry Potter movies, to be honest. I just wouldn't ever take them seriously enough to list any bad guys from them as villains.

It just seems too young for guys posting on this site to vote for. We all grew up with Disney villains. Harry Potter came out when most of us were 20+. In a list that has Cruella deVille, a Potter villians seem perfectly in character. The Harry Potter franchise changed YA literature and will be as classic as Disney to your grandkids. If anything, we're ahead of the curve in placing him on our list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when the first movie came out, I was 16 and had no desire to see them. 101 Dalmatians came out decades before I was born, so I grew up seeing that movie.

CrimsonWeltall Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 I haven't read the LOTR books, but I like the movies a lot. I never really thought of Sauron as a great villain. Does he have a lot more characterization and well, actually do something other than watch and order minions around in the books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
