EWB's Top 50 Villains: The Results Thread

EWB's Top 50 Villains

“A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.”-Agnes Repplier

[so I wanted to provide little blurbs but I figured it just wouldn't do a list like this justice, especially since I haven't seen a few of these guys in action, so I'm simply going to allow the list to speak for itself.]

[Sousa]

Already needs more Annie Wilkes, even though I'm probably the only one who voted for her.

[TKz]

Awesome to see Norman Stansfield make the list. I love Gary Oldman and I loved him in Leon.

[Jimmy]

That's William Adama, not John Cavil; but I'm glad he made the list.

[Draevyn]

Fixed. That's what I get for blindly following Google.

[GoGo Yubari]

Already needs more Annie Wilkes, even though I'm probably the only one who voted for her.

In which case she'll definitely be on the list, so hey.

[Draevyn]

Yeah, the one bad thing about this list is that it had so many at a tying place once we got to 10 points..so I started going with the highest vote, and then when we got to single votes it was a basic first come first serve kind of thing.

"In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog. Audiences are smarter today. They don't want their villain to be thrown at them with green limelight on his face. They want an ordinary human being with failings."

44. Amon Goeth (Schindler's List)(9 pts, appearing on 2 Ballots)

43. Mitsuko Souma (Battle Royale)(9 pts, appearing on 1 Ballot)

42. Bill The Butcher (Gangs Of New York)(10 pts, appearing on 1 Ballot)

41. Ethan Zobelle (Sons Of Anarchy)(10 pts, appearing on 1 Ballot)

40. Captain Howdy (Strangeland)(10 pts, appearing on 1 Ballot)

On a note of my own, how can someone so cute be so damn evil? I never saw the movie so I don't know but she looks so cute. (Mitsuko Souma)

[Kaney]

I don't think Daniel Day Lewis was in Battle Royale >_>

I just hope Hans Gruber places fairly high up.

*Jedi Mind Trick*

You have seen nothing

[Lint]

If anyone would have voted for him..would Vince McMahon have counted for the Mr. McMahon character?

[Draevyn]

He is a villain. We have video game guys in here so yeah, he would have counted.

[Gazz]

If Pennywise isn't on this list, you all suck.

[Rich]

I remember him being voted for so i would guess he is.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

CSAMH: 6. Amon Goeth (Schindler's List)

RICH: 7. Amon Goth (Schindler's List)

44. Amon Goeth (Schindler's List)(9 pts, appearing on 1 Ballot)

CAPTAIN EO: 4. Ozymandias (Watchmen)

APSHAM: 9 Adrian Veidt (Watchmen)

50. Ozymandias/Adrian Veidt (Watchmen) (9 pts, appeared on 1 ballot)

[Draevyn]

Now you're just being picky. The points are still the same. I just forgot to change the ballot amounts...

[Guest Jacob]

Does George Lucas appear for ruining Star Wars with Jar-Jar Binks?

Fixed

[Sousa]

Guys, let's be honest here. I voted for Darth Vader because he's an iconic film character and a great hammy bad guy, but Star Wars wasn't exactly high cinema in the first place.
