villains motivated by revenge I could do

baddies with an insatiable thirst for

15 years too late oh and a spoiler alert
is definitely in order here don’t let it

Gruber die hard with a vengeance this
chosen mom having learned nothing from
the events of the first die hard
terrorists are back for a piece of that
John McClane action in this third film
of the series
what does four legs and is always ready
to travel this time around it’s still
the Germans and it’s still a guy whose
last name is Gruber Simon Peter Guber
he’s Hans Gruber’s brother as it turns
out Simon is the brother of Hans who was
killed by Bruce Willis seven years ago
Happy Trails Hearns he wants to steal a
lot of gold but also get some revenge if
there’s time in the back of the choco
tidings as 13 million dollars worth in
gold bullion luckily John is joined by
none other than samuel l.jackson for
some all-out action-packed goodness to
make sure Simon gets what’s coming to it
say hello to your brother
number nine professor robert callaghan
big hero six you’re her robert callaghan
like as in the callahan cap most blind
and callaghan’s laws of robotics if
you’re watching this film and wondering
who the guy behind the mask is then a
spoiler alert is in order because he was
the old man that seemingly died in a
fire
also known as the head of the San
fransokyo Institute of Technology’s
robotics program professor Callaghan
professor Callaghan uses telepathically
controlled microbots that he steals from
the film’s protagonist Hiro in order to
exact revenge on industrialist Alistair
krei Callaghan blames krei this is a
revenge story blaming prey for the loss
of his daughter during an experiment
gone awry Callaghan attempts to suck the
Pioneer entrepreneur into another
dimension but considering this is a
Disney movie we all know that our hero
will eventually save the day please let
me go I’ll give you anything you want I
want my daughter back number 8 Captain
Hook Peter Pan
am I not demanded me word mr. Smith
since his first days as a fairy tale
character Captain James Hook has always
been trying to catch that pesky Peter
Pan 50
say our gravitationally impaired hero
lopped off hooks hand in one of their
many swashbuckling duels thusly giving
the malicious pirate his name and the
metal extremity he uses as a weapon come
down boy if you look tasteful cold steel
apart from only having one hand Captain
Hook doesn’t have any of that magical
pixie dust to get him off the ground
which makes catching pan that much
harder but it also makes the characters
rivalry that much more entertaining to
watch number seven buddy pine syndrome
The Incredibles after all I am your
biggest fan buddy what happens when you
don’t let the snotty show-off hang out
with the cool kids
syndrome built his entire empire on the
idea of revenge I only wanted to help
and what did you say to me fly home
buddy
I work alone he wasn’t special like all
the heroes of his time so instead he
built devices that could make him
powerful and kill most of the real
heroes I’m single your nemesis in it
brilliant his plan was then to sell the
devices so that anybody could have
superpowers see now you respect me
because I’m a threat the supervillains
one big misstep adding a cape to the
costume
number six Amy Elliott Dunne gone girl I
am frightened of my own husband
if you’ve seen gone girl then you know
Amy is about as crazy as they come cool
girl
if you haven’t seen gone girl then here
are some spoilers for you I did not kill
my wife I am NOT a murderer
motivated mostly by sheer insanity Amy
sees everyone around her as an enemy but
most of all her husband Nick since he’s
been unfaithful and my lazy lying
cheating oblivious husband will go to
prison for my murder any sane person
would start thinking about divorce but
Amy instead sets up an elaborate trap to
frame Nick for her murder
love juban and all we did was resent
each other and try to control each other
cause each other pain that’s marriage
number five Harry Osborn knew Goblin
spider-man fries have you done what have
you done in what few consider to be the
best spider-man film of the trilogy
James Franco is looking for revenge
thinking Peter Parker seemingly killed
his father I swear on my father’s grave
spider-man will pay Osborn gets all
trippy on goblin gasps and fights Spidey
in an aerial brawl after a super
convenient concussion Osborn loses his
memory and all is good hey buddy hey
until he gets his memory back then his
revenge mission is back on again until
the worst Butler of all time reveals
spider-man’s
innocence there’s no question that he
died by his own hand and the true
culprit behind Norman Osborn’s death
number four Alec Trevelyan Goldeneye on
my count three two one
supervillains bent on world domination
always have to make time for revenge on
the greatest spy in the world see
Skyfall for a good example free both of
us
we’re the same ruling to do it but this
time around we’ve chosen the baddie from
Goldeneye back from the dead
Alec Trevelyan and bond are former
allies in mi6 but as it turns out
Trevelyan was double-crossing them all
along because he blames Britain for his
parents deaths in World War two you’ve
made me a very unhappy man one thing led
to another and bond accidentally burnt
some of Trevelyan space off it wasn’t
God who gave me this face twisting
whenever you see Sean Bean in a movie
you can save yourself a spoiler alert
and just assume that he dies epically
which is exactly what he does here
number three Koba dawn of the Planet of
the Apes human what mistreated at the
hands of his human masters Koba has
grown to hate mankind with a murderous
vengeance hey one whoa Apes together
strong in what might be the coolest
imagery since Optimus Prime wrote a
giant robot dinosaur Koba the scarred
bonobo picks up an assault rifle and
gets crazy luckily for the humans
Caesar steps in to show Koba and a coin
that they cannot make the same mistakes
that humans have made which results in
the two having an epic battle atop a
tower you
number two Freddy Krueger a Nightmare on
Elm Street yeah is God motivated by the
fact that he was burned by all the angry
townspeople for murdering their children
Freddy Krueger spirit survives and turns
him into an all-powerful dream creature
– Freddy
instead of putting his powers to any
kind of use he decides to dream kill all
the townspeople’s kids as payback things
go pretty smoothly at first because
Freddy is a horrifying hell monster but
the kids gain the upper hand and send
him back to hell or so they think the
great thing about Freddy is that he
never learns his lesson just tell me who
did it I’ll go get him baby Fred Krueger
did it before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
will not rest until his blood flows into
this very ground
we would come out your hinge oh my sweet
innocent Jesus my only child
but he’s not the child of Ra’s al Ghul I
am
you know don’t get my dog
and I were to introduce Reserve and the
galactically feared globally reviled
universally despised
they call me Ivan number one Khan
Noonien Singh Star Trek to the Wrath of
Khan I cannot help but be touched I of
course remember you after being banished
on two separate occasions once by their
creators for being murderous supermen
and the second time also for being
murderous Superman Khan and his crew
seek revenge against Captain James T
Kirk
ah like captain Nero from the 2009
reboot Khan is motivated by the death of
his loved ones which he blames on Kirk
and so he attempts to destroy the
enterprise Kirk out captain’s Khan but
it would appear that Khan is ultimately
successful as Kirk’s best bro Spock is
seemingly killed at the end of the Star
Trek sequel everyone prosper do you
