Who is your favorite tv villain?

Post Reply New Topic

Scorpius! (Farscape)

Also Moriarty from the BBC Sherlock series.

Really?

Did you see A Game of Shadows, by any chance? Jared Harris's take on the character was also quite good.

Yep

I did indeed, the American version is quite decent, but it cannot beat the BBC adaptation

I'll also chime in again, this time with the reoccurring masked serial killer, called the Reaper (based on the Zodiac Killer), from Criminal Minds. C. Thomas Howell, normally an actor portraying good guys, was without peer playing this multiple murderer who had hidden away for years as one of his own victims.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Yes, I will add another vote for Ba'al.
He's the villain that just won't go away.

The Box Ghost AKA Crate Creep! XD

And here is the lines that cracks me up every time.

Box Ghost: [grabs Sam's mechanical frog] Ha ha! I am no longer The Box Ghost! I am now... The Mechanical Frog Ghost! [frog shorts out] Uhh.... I changed my mind! I am once again The Box Ghost! Who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians!

Box Ghost: [reading his 'wanted' poster which says 'Not wanted for $2.50'] "Not wanted"?! [Tearing it apart] This is an outrage! Do I not inspire fear and loathing? [The top of his head comes off, his brain popping out.] [Several nameless ghosts start laughing at him.]

Box Ghost: Behold! The Lunchbox of Fear! [opens it, a thermos comes out]
Danny: [catches it] Hey, bringing your own thermos to our battles, now? You know, you could save us time by showing up already inside it.

Danny, Tucker: [Start eating the sandwiches the Box Ghost threw at them]
Box Ghost: Wait what are you doing?
Danny: Tasting our doom, and I have to tell ya it's kinda dry.
Tucker: You wouldn't happen to have any spicy mustard of doom would yah?

Box Ghost: BEHOLD! THE SHOE BOX- [Holds the shoe box over his head] OF TERROR!!
Danny: I'm sorry, but how are shoes scary?
Tucker: Dude, have you smelled yours?

I can support Gul Dukat from DS9...

I'll add Lex Luthor from Justice League Unlimited... no, WAIT!

Bester and Morden from Babylon 5

Gus Fring from Breaking Bad. Walter White's former employer in the meth business, and the only man who White truly feared.

-Bill, otherwise known as Kraichgauer

Benjamin from Lost. Also evil Locke/The Man in Black from Lost.
David Xanatos from Gargoyles.
Sokar from Stargate SG-1.
Almost forgot the Smoking Man from X-Files.

The Master from the original Dr Who:
Also Silverthorn from The Girl from tomorrow:

the best portrayal of a "villain" i have ever seen is the main character in a movie called wolf creek. i recommend it (not for it's violence, but for the actor's chilling and brilliant rendition of a serial killer)

just a quick scene description of the youtube clip below:

2 british backpackers team up with an australian young man and they are on a trip across australia. they visit a meteorite crater (wolf creek meteorite site), and while they are gone from their car, the psychopathic killer sabotages their car.

they return to their car and are unable to start it. as night falls, they decide to sleep in the car, but the killer turns up in a pickup truck, and acts like a friendly passer by who stops to "see what is wrong". he seems friendly but mildly gruff, and the english girls like him at first because they see him as more of a "man" than their australian young man friend. he "tries" to fix their car, but "can not", and so he says he can tow them to his place (few miles down the road) where he will fix their car. they reluctantly agree wondering if they will have to pay.

he tows their car for about 100 miles, and they are initially worried why he is taking them so far, but they wear it.

when they get back to his place, he offers them a drink around his campfire, and they eagerly accept because they are charmed by his extreme "australian outback" personality.

the following scene is the first scene in the movie where things start to go "pear shaped" for the backpackers as they try to overlook the quite worrisome personality change in the man.

it is only 54 seconds so you may as well have a look at it.

This one's easy:

Pain/Nagato from Naruto: One of the most interesting and 3 dimensional villains I've ever seen. Tragic, nostalgic, and suffering from a war torn past, Pain's goal is to reshape the fate of the world which he views as being corrupt and unjust. His views on the world are very deep and contain loads of wisdom, and he had chillingly epic moments i.e. when he blew up Konoha, when he did Chibaku Tensei on Naruto, etc. I just love his theme song:
