down our picks for the top 10 movie
villains we couldn’t help but root for
cool before we begin
we publish new videos every day so be
sure to subscribe for more great content
for this list will only be looking at
clear-cut villains so anti heroes such
as Tony Montana won’t be considered
since we’ll be talking about the fate of
these villains spoiler alert
is in order
number 10 Khan Noonien Singh Star Trek –
the Wrath of Khan and tell me where I
may find James while Khan’s first
on-screen appearance was in the 22nd
episode of Star Trek the original series
he wouldn’t truly gain iconic evil-doer
status until after the release of Star
Trek – the Wrath of Khan where he pushed
the USS Enterprise crew to their limits
and who can blame Khan for going after
Kirk and crew the starship captain did
exile him to a random planet and is
arguably responsible for his wife’s
death wouldn’t you go after the guy who
did that
that plus his imposing physical stature
and immense intellect make him one hell
of an opponent such a worthy adversary
in fact that Khan returned yet again in
the 2013 film star trek into darkness
shall I destroy you mr. Spock or will
you give me what I want number nine
Vincent collateral here’s 300 down
what’s your name max max I’m Vincent
it’s a shame Tom Cruise doesn’t take on
more roles like this one in collateral
crews plays Vincent a contract killer
who forces a Los Angeles cab driver to
ferry him around as he eliminates people
with ties to an ongoing trial you killed
no I shot bullets in the fall killing
Vincent is the kind of bad guy you’d
want to have a beer with assuming you
aren’t on his hit list cruise gives one
of his best performances bringing to
life a character that has equal parts
charming fare and deadly killer as the
film hurdles to its thrilling conclusion
it’s easy to forget that Vincent isn’t
the one you’re supposed to be rooting
for was an accident you tell me stick
nice cameras photos scene today is my
boss number eight
Brigadier General Francis X Frank Hummel
the rock tree of liberty must be
refreshed from time to time with the
blood of patriots and tyrants the best
villains are the ones with nothing to
lose after a rogue general takes over
Alcatraz and threatens to drop nerve gas
on the city of San Francisco it’s up to
an FBI chemist and a former British spy
with a unique knowledge of the island to
stop it what makes us really understand
Hummel is the fact that he’s doing a bad
thing for all the right reasons all he
wants is for the government to
compensate the families of the soldiers
who died under his command these men
died for their country and they weren’t
even given a goddamn military burial
situation is unacceptable he’s smart
capable and fiercely loyal to his men
sure he’s a little crazy but who is it
this is Brigadier General Francis X
Hummel United States Marine Corps from
Alcatraz number seven Oh Ren EEE
Kill Bill Vol 1 now if any of you sons
of bitches
as head of the Tokyo Yakuza Oh Ren rules
with an iron fist lopping off the heads
of anyone who dares to question her
authority she has a badass army of
bodyguards known as the crazy 88 at her
beck and call though she’s plenty
capable of taking care of would-be
killers herself
[Music]
but what really makes her sympathetic is
her tragic backstory she witnessed her
parents murders at the hands of a
vicious Yakuza boss and spent the rest
of her life seeking vengeance
unfortunately Oh Ren was one of the
people who betrayed the bride at the
beginning of Kill Bill so her death was
inevitable but that doesn’t mean that we
can’t wish she was still out there
decapitating loudmouth subordinates
number six magneto x-men talk about
perfect casting Ian McKellen is at the
top of his game in this film inhabiting
the role of magneto in a way few actors
would have been capable of x-men was the
first installment in what is now one of
the most critically and commercially
successful franchises ever the film
pitted magneto against the x-men the one
can be forgiven for hoping that the
former would emerge victorious anyway
having lost his parents to the horrors
of the Holocaust magneto is easily one
of the most sympathetic villains on our
list armed with a badass cape and the
ability to control metal this is one
baddie we’d like to have on our side
jobs always wanted to build bridges
number five Roy batty Bladerunner sure
if only you could see what I have seen
your eyes Blade Runner is a visual
delight dripping in so much style that
it practically seeps through the holes
in the screen the cherry on top of the
film’s proverbial cake is its supposed
villain Roy batty now where what do we
find this batty is an Android close to
death who’s searching for a way to
extend his lifespan we consider batty a
bad guy because he’s contrasted at every
turn by the film’s protagonist played by
Harrison Ford however all baddie wants
is to live which ultimately makes his
death the film’s most heartbreaking
moment I see number 4 Darth Vader Star
Wars Episode six Return of the Jedi you
underestimate the power of the dark side
as his final scene pointedly revealed
Darth Vader was in the end a man after
nearly three full films as the baddest
guy in the galaxy Darth Vader ultimately
redeems himself when he tosses the
Emperor down a reactor chute saving Luke
in the process
[Music]
and let’s be honest after it was
revealed to audiences that Darth Vader
was Luke’s dad it became a little harder
to root against him so when the final
film in the original trilogy was
released it became clear that Vader was
no longer the epitome of evil we thought
he was as he lies dying in Luke’s arms
it’s hard not to get just a little bit
choked up go number three the Joker The
Dark Knight you look nervous
is it the scars as if you didn’t know
this was coming
Heath Ledger’s iconic portrayal of the
Joker in Christopher Nolan’s seminal
Batman film will live on forever as one
of the greatest performances in
cinematic history never start with the
head the victim gets all fuzzy the Joker
is the villain the world deserves he’s
ruthless cunning full of Awesome
anecdotes and wicked good with a pencil
whereas Batman is the personification of
good refusing to break his moral code no
matter what the Joker is as his name
implies a total wild card the Joker is a
sociopath and a killer but he’s also a
realist and that makes him endlessly fun
to watch
as you never know what he’ll do next
sometimes you just want to watch the
world burn
number two Loki
Marvel Cinematic Universe your heroes
are scattered your floating fortress
falls from the sky where is my
disadvantage how can you not root for
the god of lies and mischief or a guy
who just wants to prove to his adopted
dad that he says worthy as his god of
thunder of a brother while it isn’t
exactly rare for a villain to overshadow
a film’s protagonist it is rather
impressive when they proved to be more
alluring than Captain America Iron Man
and Thor combined listen well brother
the Avengers is truly Loki’s time to
shine and he doesn’t disappoint using
his skills as a master manipulator to
wreak havoc on earth and he would have
gotten away with it too if it weren’t
for that gang of meddling superheroes
you’ll get him next time but before we
unveil our topic here are a few
honorable mentions don’t try to stop me
Smee okay this is it
don’t try to stop me this time Smee
don’t try to stop me this time Smee
don’t you dare try to stop me this time
Smee try to stop me how scare me I’m
gonna do anything to get your business
I’ll I’ll possess myself I gotta Wow yo
I got demons burning a hole through all
through me come on down here and see it
oh you got it in you Jake next one will
kill you Oh son of a bitch you shot me
an ass number one hans gruber
die hard
benefits of a classical education played
to perfection by Alan Rickman Gruber is
as suave as they come from his tailor
suit to his perfectly groomed facial
hair Gruber looks like he would be right
at home running a fortune 500 company
instead he’s opted for a life of crime
and were not for some annoying cop from
New York he’d be sitting on a beach
somewhere counting his very bones in a
touchdown we blow the roof has been
among sifting through the rubble and by
the time they figure out what went wrong
we’ll be sitting on a beach earning 20%
what makes Gruber a truly iconic villain
worthy of our affection is his cold
calculated demeanor in the face of
adversity you’d be hard-pressed to find
a villain with more swag than Hans
Gruber and that’s why we couldn’t help
but root for him get on the jet to Tokyo
