I’m the bad guy I don’t save the day I
don’t fly off into the sunset and I
don’t get the girl the dastardly mega
Minds defeat of his arch-nemesis his
creation and corruption of a new hero
and the incidental endangerment of his
love interest
almost weren’t enough to make this
villain change his ways in order to stop
me you need to find me first
Metro Baja but when he finally does come
around he makes a grandiose public
spectacle of the new leaf he’s turned
the way every super villain turned super
hero should I am sorry
way to go mega mind think about bad guys
they always lose
number 9 May Day a view to a kill this
sadistic and cracked eclis superhuman
Bond villain bodyguard and assassin
doesn’t mess around
she kills a detective and an mi6 agent
and gets away with it before James even
gets to say
she’s tough enough to fight a lude and
seduce him easily
let’s though to say
however her boss betraying her was the
last straw and I thought that creep love
me you know the other one he
double-crossed so she makes the ultimate
sacrifice by changing allegiances and
killing herself in order to stop max
Zorin from bombing and drowning Silicon
Valley number 8 Francis X Hummel the
rock you have any concern for the lives
of your men you will order them to
safety their weapons and place them on
the deck Frank Hummels renegade Marines
put the Pentagon and FBI under the gun
by threatening San Francisco with stolen
weapons and killing their Navy SEALs you
refuse payment I launched the gas you’ve
got 40 hours till noon day after
tomorrow to arrange transfer of the
money I am aware of your countermeasure
you know and I know it doesn’t stand a
chance
Hummel from Alcatraz out but when he
eventually launches one of the Rockets
we fear he might it lands in the ocean
because he wouldn’t or couldn’t really
kill civilians this mission was based on
the threat of force I’m not about to
kill 80,000 innocent people do you think
I’m out of my mind
however Kaos still ensues and Hummel
gives up the last rocket with his dying
breath finally taking responsibility for
his actions where’s the last rocket blow
Elias Borah lighthouse go better late
than never
number seven dr. Otto Octavius Doctor
Octopus spider-man – I want you to find
your friend spider-man tell him to meet
me at the West Side Tower three o’clock
I don’t know where he is find him I’ll
peel the flesh of her bone he kills his
own wife and a medical crew robs a bank
throws a car at Peter Parker and tries
to run a commuter train off its tracks
you have a train to catch
but somewhere in there is dr. Otto
Octavius a good scientist with a
conscience the Otto deep down is what
saves the day when he musters the will
from within to drown himself his dreams
and his tragic regrets with the fusion
reactor he fought so valiantly for I
will not die monster number 6 felonious
GRU Despicable Me I
Polonius grew is definitely no good guy
when we meet him in fact he’s pretty
despicable next we are going to steal
he’s no better when he somehow finds a
way to fake adopt three orphan girls to
serve his nefarious motives it’s like my
heart is a tooth in this got a cavity
that can only be filled with children
and even when he warms to them he
maintains his villainous ways you need
as a bedtime story no pretty please the
physical appearance of the please makes
no difference but it’s rescuing them
from another villain that really melts
his heart and puts his actions into
perspective
oh no and it is the worst mistake I ever
made
number five evany czar Scrooge a
Christmas carol among the many
adaptations since this Christmas classic
was first written prove that it is one
enduring and universal story any
Christmas Christmas in your own way and
leave me to keep it in mind whether told
in black and white or with Bill Murray
at the helm have them change his locks
clean out his desk and toss him out of
the village oh he’s fired it’s Christmas
thank you
the idea of a bad guy learning from his
misdeeds will always delight audiences
as a schoolboy in this Charles Dickens
novel adaptation all it took for Scrooge
to see the light was some soul-searching
into his past present and future to
reform from being a stingy Grouch
overnight and everyone is made the
better for it a Merry Christmas Ebenezer
and a Happy New Year as if you deserved
it number four Severus Snape the Harry
Potter franchise how dare you stand
where he stood tell them how it happened
that night tell them how you looked him
in the eye
a man who trusted you and killed him
tell he’s a complex character throughout
the franchise but with his dark brooding
behavior and hostility towards young
Harry Snape’s certainly no Care Bear
should anyone student or staff attempt
to aid mr. Potter they will be punished
in a manner consistent with the severity
of their transgression going back and
forth from a potential hero to a shady
antagonist it’s unclear what’s driving
Snape when he does things like kill
Harry’s friend Dumbledore and work with
his supposed sworn enemy
he-who-must-not-be-named
it answers to you and you only does it
however somehow in the end his motives
turn out to be completely Noble
protective and well-intentioned you have
your mother’s eyes
they want to spend a little quality time
with the Grinch I guess I could use a
little social interaction number three
the Grinch dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch
Stole Christmas
yes down eyes and a half fish hi
I’ll keep it all the Grinch’s epiphany
in the movie adaptation of this dr.
Seuss classic
isn’t too different from the famous
children’s storybook it’s based on oh
that’s that’s really a miserable
creature that hates Christmas skills the
gifts of lovable townspeople but has a
change of heart when he hears the
pleasant sounds of them caroling fine
the sounded merry but it was merry very
every who down in Whoville the tall and
the small was singing without any
presents at all in fact his heart grows
three sizes and his new spirit allows
him to perform feats of physical
strength
he even apologizes to the town and a
good time is had by all cheer up dude
that’s Christmas now that’s a bad guy
gone good
Merry Christmas mr. Grinch number 2

first and second films in this iconic
franchise in the original the t800 has
one purpose in life to destroy Sarah
Connor and by extension her future son
