scar should have had a villain job coach once he got what he wanted he didn't know what to do with it
I mean Belos’s backstory is pretty sad but no he’s pretty f🤬**ing evil!!!
Sheldon plankton
Ice King from Adventure Time!
You know what, how about Spinel from Steven Universe The Movie?
I really love Megamind's arc. He was never truly a villain. He just accepted the role everyone labeled him as. And while he did enjoy his best friend Minion, the gadgets, the banter with Metroman, and the theatrics of it all, he never truly wanted world domination. So he tried to create a new hero, who turned out to be an actual villain. But with the the help of those he cares about, he was able to defeat Titan and become the hero he was destined to be. It's a beautiful story, and an excellent subversion of stereotypical superhero genre tropes at the time.
Fr
I agree with you there
Couldn’t agree more. And if they were to make a sequel to Megamind one day, and I am very much hoping that they do, what do you think, will happen for a possible sequel, and where do you think they could go, for a possible sequel to Megamind?
@Awesometacular Hero
They could possibly go the Superman route and have a refugee from Megamind's home planet show up. Don't know where from there, perhaps they're smarter than him, and he's just average.
The fact that he still remembers exactly what happened to his home planet and parents - vividly, in fact - makes the whole thing even more heartbreaking. This means that on top of all that we see in the movie, he's pretty much carrying a grief that no one in their right mind was ever meant to carry, to the point where he just makes jokes about it because it's easier. ("I was eight days old and still living with my parents. How sad is that?")
I’ve always loved the concept of villains who never wanted to be villains but we’re put in tragic situations that they had no choice.
You put my exact thinking into words!! Completely agree! 🤗
There is always a choice.
Which is the main reason why Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader has always been my personal favorite Star Wars character.
He was never a bad person,
He has always been a sad, tragic and broken man,
Physically, Mentally and Emotionally.
Me too but I always the pure evil villain trope mixed with their tragic upringkng
Kinda surprised the Grinch isn't on here. He's by no means a bad guy, he just wanted to be loved. In the 2000 version, he was bullied for looking different and in the 2018 version, he was simply neglected. No backstory for the original though... Also I guess Gru should be on here too cause maybe his villainous ways was the result of growing up with a bad mother and no father.
Being a villain was effectively the family "business" for Gru. His brother (who was raised by their father) even showed Gru their dad's lair.
@@thepancakeplanet8849 yeah wasn't thinking about that when I wrote this comment lol
Still though, I imagine having a neglectful mother had some play in his villainy
@@DTTheKnight Oh, most definitely.
Zuko's Character Development is Top Tier! From a confused teenager who just wanted to be accepted by his dad but then figured out that his dad was just plain evil and never loved him in the first place or at all to a hero of the fire nation, best friends with Aang and the best member of team avatar
His dad didn't love his daughter either. She was only a pawn for him. Azula was more influenced than pure evil. She even felt rejected by her own mother.
I love Megamind. And my heart broke for Killmonger.
Also, Dr. Doofenshmirtz is a great dad!
Maleficent paved the way for Joker and Cruella in depicting sympathetic backstories to previously notorious villains.
Star Wars' talent for destroying young men began with Ani Skywalker, forbidden "attachments", and continued with Ben Solo. Some of us have had enough. Snape's devotion to avenging Lily meant he could never allow himself to risk letting LV read that in his mind. Loki was lied to, manipulated, then discovered in the series that his whole life was a lie contrived for the Sacred Timeline, and chooses to become a hero. Tom conveys this beautifully. If you know Joachim Phoenix's background his Joker's pain will especially break your heart. And Disney ditched cartoon villain Maleficient for a traumatized, embittered young woman who learns not to punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty and becomes a regal heroine you just don't mess with. Angelina played her to perfection.
@@lefantomer Woah you just said it so gracefully! beautiful.
@@blossomwell.u7673 Thank you! I relate to these characters and I enjoy seeing them overcome their pasts and act heroically when they do, but hate to watch them abused just to let others shine, as it was put in the "Loki" series.
Don't forget, in the books Severus was much worse and much more arrogant than his film counterpart. He doesn’t just bully Harry he also bullies nearly everyone in Hogwarts out of spite in an obnoxious childish ways and in a bad way too.
Why Rowling, why?! I prefer the movie version better
@@jamestolbert1856 You haven't yet seen the novel versions of Rita Skeeter or Dolores Umbridge? They too were worse in the novels than their movie counterparts. But so where the Dursleys, and yeah even Lord Voldemort is more evil and by far more frigthening in the novels than in the movies.
Perhaps Gellert Grindelwald is (not counting the Fantastic Beasts series) is a notable exception. In the movies he betrays Dumbledore by telling Voldemort where the Elder Wand was, but in the novels he did not and even predicted that the wand would never be Voldemort's and prove to be his downfall (a prediction which would eventually come true) and he fully accepted that Voldemort would kill him for that (which he'd ultimately do with the Avada Kedavra curse. In the movies Voldemort left Grindelwald be).
The Collector from “The Owl House”. He’s just a kid with immense powers and he has trouble telling the difference between playing with others and causing them harm. He was trapped all by himself for so long and he just wanted to be free and make friends. I believe he will be redeemed in the finale because he’s not evil, he just doesn’t quite understand how his powers effect others.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
The literal "I'm just a baby" meme
Yeah I think collector is broken and someone said that collector is actually luz from the future who became the collector although I kinda find it hard to believe.
I actually didn’t think someone would bring Him Up lol, but like he’s just a kid who doesn’t know what destruction is
@@Dead-fire I hope they don’t end up having to kill him off in the finale. I also hope he doesn’t kill anyone.
Loki.... 100% agree! 😍😊 Ever since the MCU introduced him, I always knew there was a good person inside of him. Seeing him talk to Thor in the Elevator (Thor Ragnarok) & asked his brother he should stay at Asgard for awhile, Thor refused becuz he knew Loki would rather run away than stay put. That scene right there broke my heart. 😢😢 Even in the series Loki, Loki stated he doesn't like to be evil just crushed me. He's trying to be a good person, but everyone sees him as The God of Mischief. Seeing Loki in the show doing his best to stop Sylvie gives more hope to me that not all villains are bad, most of them r misunderstood. Now that season 2 of Loki is coming this year, i can't wait to see how he'll stop Kang & Sylvie. He's not a villain, he's an anti-hero. 💚💚
Thor: he’s my brother.
Black widow: he just killed 80 people.
Thor: He’s adopted.
@@jchacho6335 😂
The God of Mischief dies (because of Thanos), and next thing we know half the world is erased and there's DEFINITELY no more mischief? Loki was supposed to live, because mischief is required to make people laugh, make people happy. That's what's so tragic to me.
I agree with you there!!!!
@@jchacho6335 but hey, Thor luvs his brother no matter what trouble he's gotten into.
😊😂💚
Since the beginning I already liked Zuko , his journey in ATLA was one of the best arcs on the show
And a giant hint that he is good was shown in the spirit world episode in season 1. He was looking for Iroh and on the trail, he saw Appa in the sky. He could have went after Appa then and there, but he went to save his uncle instead. Evil to the core never saves love.
@@sarahhenry1845 "A giant hint".... pfff, that gentle to said that. Like Waylon Smither in the Simpson where all the stuff of him being gay presented as "evidences" never where actually evidences. They never hide that onscreen, and did not directly said that oncreen during a long time so that was obvious for everyone. Why confirming something if everyone already know and is fully aware of that ?.
The same thing completely occur for Zuko. Directly at the very first episode, it's obvious and put at the start which direction every characters will undergo, and for Zuko, his changement of side is completely guess easily by everyone from very long and far since the very beginning of the show. So this side change from the bad camp to the one of the protagonnists isn't a surprise by any means.
If he chase in the first time to catch the group and Aang, it's because his forced to do that.
I don't want to do dirty stuff, but is forced to day because he's not in a good situation (at the base) and if he do nothing and don't made what his own kind (his nation, and of course, by that, his own father) want him to do, he will even get worse and hurt even worse.
So, Zuko isn't a villain and antagonnist by any means (which make his entry in this video competely irrelevant).
Because you can be someone in the Evil/bad camp without actually be evil yourself, even be completely like the good guys in the Good camp, just you're forced by the true pure evil guys to do dirty stuff because they enslaved you in a way or another.
Also, Zuko as a whole in general is very, very a too overestimated character and adore/love him thus he have any real merits of any kind.
Zuko isn't bad as a character, by any means.
But truth be told : he's just an OK character. Nothing more.
I absolutely don't understand all these praises we made on him, and why we always said that his arc is good and one of the best things of the show.
Zuko is just an Anti-heroe all along from episode 1 to final, never a villain but never a heroe either.
I would really know why ?
Because, ironically, of all of the others protagonnist, as iconic and charismatic they are, it's him, the less well made of all.
At least for me.
Zuko is, at my opinion, too overestimated, and everyone praise and adore his character only because he change of camp, from the bad to good side.
Only because he go into the Good guys side at the middle of the ATLA show.
And alsmot everything on which all these praises and adoration, and that we said (too) often his arc is one of the best of the show, completely rest on that. Just because he change from the bad side to the good side (along with some views, but giibng he's already a good guy at the very begiining who only do dirty stuff just and only because he completely forced to do them with any others possible ways, there any real reals changes in this perspective).
But that doesn't made a specific character in question, in a story, such a high figure.
Such things only constitute a part of him and what made it great.
And sadly, there numerous negatives things we can say on Zuko that make him only a ok character if we do a true objective honest review of him !
The fact he go from the bad camp to the good camp, is and remain a single, not very high element or argument to give him all these praises he receive.
In addition to be a thing/element very common, generic and not new, used a lot of time way before, in medias as a whole.
So, something very conservative (not bad or boring, but not extraordinary either).
Firstly, Zuko is never an antagonist, a bad guy. It's always clearly show that if he do bad things, it's only because he forced or think to be forced to do it.
His changement of side is completely guess easily by everyone from very long and far since the very beginning of the show. So this side change from the bad camp to the one of the protagonnists isn't a surprise by any means.
We just wait, and wait long because it's very late that Zuko finally become intelligent to realise that he's only force to do and act as his father want to be, and that it's truly possible that his father and nation can be defeated, allowing things he want him to come and to be as he truly want to be.
(Because before, he truly believe that his father and nation were unstoppable and that there way any other way to live as the setting impose by his own nation ordered).
But still that Zuko pass really a very long and lot of time before be convince there another, despite he see numerous time the protagonnists' actions showing him that there always another way for everything, and to realize that he don't want to be like setting of his nation impose him to be.
Thus he know his own person very well, how he is him, since the very beginning.
So that sound stupid at the end.
Zuko isn't clever and (will) do everytime the bad decisions to take.
Zuko, in front of almost everything, a danger, an specific event, or everything else, in the show, take always the bad(est) decision possible.
And when he indeed do a somewhat good/positive decision in surface appearance, it's always following what someone had said and ordered to him (so not something he decide by himself).
And even here, the repercussions are also bad.
(for example, if he go to and fight Azula at the end, it's only because his uncle Iroh said it to him to do so, that he must because Iroh said she was not good. And seeing how Iroh, thus a very good character more than ok for once consider her own niece despite being open-minded is pretty bad and something we can complain on him. Even more since it's so because of him if Zuko end up doing bad things that truly hurt Azula, at the end of th show and even after in the comics).
Zuko is even an big ashole in many ways and someone who have very contradicted/conflicting mentalities.
And unvolontary without he take conscience of it on top of that (that an understatement) !
For example, it's shown that he show several time to truly care about Azula, his sister, and yet, at the end, instead of speaking to her to understand and help her when she almost crowned as the new firelord, he fight simply and purely her because his uncle Hiiro said to him to do this. (he choose the lazy way)
And even use at his own advantage, on purpose and fully aware of that, the mentally fragile state of his sister to fight and to try to win upon her !
I'm sorry, that is a not clever, stupid, dick and very hating move from him.
Also, he lost in a spectaculary way the Last Agni Kai against Azula since he's knocked out after Zuko try a trick against her to fight by using her own lightnings but fail because Azula again is more clever than him (Zuko is really loyal to him until the very end ! My felicitations).
So, btw, having win the last agni kai, Azula is the true legitimate firelord.
(Which made Zuko an usurpator).
Also, another exemple, again toward his sister, when Zuko try to join the Gaang after the failed Fire Nation's invasion, but failed at first because the others always don't like him for all he does before, he said that he could have put most of it (that the others didn't know that was him, like the fire assassin) on Azula and to be things she does.
And would have do it if the idea came to him earlier.
I'm sorry, but that also isn't ok from him.
So, when I heard Azula, Ozai but especially Mai, saying several times that Zuko is an idiot (which indeed he is a lot like what I mentionned show it greatly), I have the impression/feeling that the show itself seem to completely acknowledge this fact !
(But that could be just me in this latter point).
The second show, LOK, don't made great care of Zuko. Overall, in the sequel show, he's just here to be here, is not usefull, just an old man that can't do anything much and yet, again, made the bad choice.
He litterally goes away just before the Red Lotus antagonist capture and badly severely treat the Avatar, which will give all the entire repercussions who will lead to all season 4 problems about her (in all the definitions of this term), to join his nation to protect his own daughter, Izumi, because he think she's in danger thus not.
If he was stayed with the group to fight the Red Lotus, along with his dragons, the events would have been very different and even likely the entire oppossite (the writting of the plot wasn't here this day in the producers office as I can see, since that a great plot device excuse to lead the things we see happen, and who aren't themselves good either).
Everybody will said to me that the fact his daughter is potentially in danger is a fair enough element to get him away. But giving he was unable with his dragons to prevent the escape of the fourth, last member of the group (and yet, they weren't only two), I don't think he would have being very usefull to protect her daughter Izumi either...
So yes, I absolutely don't understand all these praises we made on him, and that almost everyone continue to treat Azula in a bad way.
She really need respect, to be gentle and nice toward her,and to only put her in a good light.
Azula is a very good and way more x 1000 lovable, truly badass, amazing and respectfull character than Zuko will ever be !
She's not and never was an antagonist/villain, and was already like Zuko in the same situation. Forced to do bad things and to be like his father and nation wanted to be and anything else otherwise she would be hit in bad ways she don't way to end, thus she herself too never want to do such bad things and to be bad too.
Zuko is just an Anti-heroe all along from episode 1 to final, never a villain but never a heroe either.
And Azula is just a sad tragic character who don't deserved any of the things she received and end up just be a punching-ball ball even way after the show conclusion, for sadic pleasure of people, thus it's sad and unfunny and not many people these days take pleasure and laught on that.
Just see painfully with sadness the things again and again, forever....
(as far I'm aware, she will get this year 2023 a complete personnal comic specially turning around her, and in which she will redeem herself etc... but that too late, and in addition, will not be a "big" comic like the mai ones we received prior, but a small one. Which shwo how the care and management about the franchise have undergo since many years. Because this kind of thing with Azula should have come way more earlier).
OF COURSE ! Everything here was my pure and personal opinion on the subject. Any problems if you, yourself, you have like him, even a lot !
But, as for my at least, whe I see Zuko everytime, I cannot revent myself to feel that something in him, or his character, does be pretty off or wrong to me.
Right there with you. I loved his character and his redemption arc was so compelling, he's become my absolute favorite redeeming character ever.
“Just because you’re a bad guy doesn’t mean you’re a _bad guy_ ”
Zuko deserves the praise. A good boy misguided into following a destiny that wasn't his own, and fighting himself on the inside.
He tries to do good, but relapses, falls back into old habits, and then finally turns over a new leaf through his newfound allies.
"Villains aren't born, they are made by the cruel world around them"
This video proves it....😢💔
Zuko the best arc in tv history period. Not just redemption but growth of a character also. Excellent
Woooow I wasn't expecting Prince Zuko to be on this list. Also you were wrong about saying that one critic says it was the best redemption arch. EVERYONE says it was the best
Megamind will forever be my favorite animated movie. It's hilarious, deep, entertaining... And the quotes !
*Presentation!*
In my opinion the villain on megamind is metroman
I definitely feel for Maleficent.
I don’t.
She redeems herself when she revives Aurora.
@@clogs4956 😮
Prince Zuko definitely has a tragic backstory and felt bad for him as we learned more about him, which doesn’t make his decision right but more understandable.🥺
Top 10 villains who are pure evil
Scar from The Lion King an all the Disney Renaissance films
Jack horner from puss in boots and diesel 10
i believe that all villains are broken. I remember when I visited my grandmother in the village, and my grandmother said, son one day some people will waste their time reading your comment then they’ll listen your new song on your channel
Number 1 emperor palpatine
Frollo ought to be the most evil Disney villain next to Scar. Ursula also kinda scares me a little. I was terrified of her when I was little.
I was surprised Doof wasn't number one then I saw that it was Maleficent and I kind of agreed.
Two villains who I thought were left off the list were the Phantom of the Opera and Mr. Freeze from “Batman & Robin.” Even though it was totally inexcusable for the Phantom of the Opera to kill the people he killed, it was revealed that he only acted the way he did because people picked on him his whole life since his face was misshapen. He even revealed that his mother hated and feared him because of his misshaped face. Mr. Freeze was doing what he was doing to heal his sick wife from a rare life-threatening disease.
They really put Killmonger and Loki on this list, but not Wanda? What she did in WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness were both direct results of her grief (or in MoM, grief + the Darkhold's corruption), but she wasn't an evil person.
Thank you!!
I propose WatchMojo make a list of Another Top 10 Villains Who Weren’t Evil, Just Broken.
There’s way too many for one list, especially in this age where storytellers gravitate toward the motif of grey areas
But I think it's because most people see her as more of a hero.
They didn't even put Magneto on this list...
That’s because prior to WandaVision and MoM, she wasn’t a villain at all
Here’s a perfect example of a villain that’s not evil, but just broken, and that’s Spinel from Steven Universe: The Movie.
Spinel was the best friend and playmate of Pink Diamond. However, after Pink was just assigned to rule her own planet for gem colonization, Earth, she had Spinel play a “game” by standing perfectly still in the garden waiting for her. Spinel waited for thousands of years, but little did she know, Pink Diamond was never coming back. Then when Spinel discovered that Pink actually abandoned her, and has now become her own son, Steven Universe, Spinel felt so heartbroken, that she dashes toward Earth attempting to demolish the planet believing Pink Diamond cared more about that planet then their past friendship. Luckily, Steven Universe, who learned that Happily Ever After is just an illusion, convinces Spinel that they can learn to accept change and growth. So Spinel decided it’s best to move on and accept the nurture from the rest of the Diamonds.
How is it that Catra from She-Ra & the Princesses of Power (who frankly should’ve been #1) wasn’t even MENTIONED on this list?!
To me, she remains the only antagonist character where you understand EVERY one of her motives that lead to every bad action she takes & instead of hating her for it, you just feel so bad for her that you want to wrap your arms around her in the BIGGEST hug! 😭 because in truth, she’s felt more pain than most people will feel in their lifetime ❤️🩹
And by the endgame of her arc she ends up doing the bravest thing possible that even She-Ra herself doesn’t come CLOSE to doing.
Truly appalled with her being ignored like this 😤
I know! How dare they leave her out of this list? I completely agree with u abt Catra. Her motives and actions are understandable
We like tragic villains because in some form we can relate to them and understand how they became the way they are. One of my favourite tragic villains is Electro; all he wanted was recognition for his work and to be noticed by the world, after being ignored his whole life.
Severus Snape has no excuse for tormenting a child
Could you do a list of Top 10 Heroes with Tragic and/or Traumatic Origins?
Snape is my favorite Professor, he didn't deserve to die like he did🥺🥺🥺
He wasn't a good person, but he did have the best intentions.
Dr. Doofenshmirtz, Jack Spicer, Cala Maria, Harley Quinn and Blitzo Bucko Wire were villains who weren’t at all heartless, just broken
Technically almost all of Batman’s villains would be on that list. Harley Quinn- her backstory including Jokers as well, Baby Doll- her failed career and people’s views of her, Poison Ivy- helping the planet just in a extreme way, Mr. Freeze- wife enough said, etc.
I feel like the Batman franchise as a whole should have its own list considering the same could be said for pretty much every villain
CALA MARIA!? How is she broken!?!?!?
Doctor Octavius (Doc Ock) from the Rami trilogy/ No Way Home.
(I love this niche character type!! It never gets old for me!)
I love that guy so darn much! He is the best one ever!😊
Megamind he has a tragic backstory. 1st no one notices a baby in prison. 2nd why wasn't he put in foster care
If that happened Megamind would be an outstanding citizen. He was taught by inmates. Why was he in prison for something that Metro Man did at the start of the movie.
The prisoners actually seemed to love Megamind a lot. The real problem started when they tried sending him to school.
@@startygernebulla2088 To Megamind's credit, he did tried to be nice toward the other kids but the other students (ESPECIALLY Metro Man who was a very arrogant and snobbish kid) kept out-casting him. Megamind was then "Screw it! These guys want me to be bad? Then I'll be bad!"
@@zeospark9715 That is what I meant, but good point
They judge him so they should burn in hell.
@@zeospark9715also the teacher since she just ignored all the problems going on to him
Prince Zuko was emotionall. He lost his mother, lost the respect of his fatther, and had a scar that is permanent for the rest of his life. given a task hoping to never be accomplished, and tormented by his sister.
I really felt for him.
Don’t Forget Harley Quinn from her own series, and Sheldon J Plankton also!
She was also broken in "Batman: TAS".
That doesn't make it okay to do so.
Let's also not forget about Robert Callaghan/Yokai from "Big Hero 6"
Eugene Levy in Splash. He just wanted to prove that he wasn’t crazy & told Tom Hanks that he wasn’t a bad person & that he could ask his friends if he had any. He also felt bad after Madison was captured & helped free her.
Loki is and always will be #1 for me. I never saw Loki as a villain. I always saw him as misunderstood. Yes he hurt people but only because he was hurt. Thor ragnarok really showed the good person and brother Loki truly is. There was always good in him he just needed to let it out. When he gave up his life for Thor in Infinity War, my heart broke 💔😭
Lotso from Toy Story 3 may have been a sociopathic and merciless teddy bear, he got abandoned and replaced which set him off being angry at toys and kids alike. He put Andy’s toys through dangerous obstacles by being wrecked by toddlers in the Caterpillar Room just for his enjoyment. He also left the toys for dead in the incinerator during his last chance to redeem himself.
Another example: Kron from Disney’s Dinosaur. I wouldn’t view him as evil, but he acts like an angry jerk who won’t listen to reason and torments the weaker members of the herd and has a conflict with Aladar. The reason he does that is because he’s scared for his strongest members, his sister Neera, his mantle and himself. He’s just overburdened and is devastated with what’s happening. For that matter, his behavior is like that of real life herd animals. He also seems to make up his mind on certain things.
I’m happy Darth Vader made it to this list. He wasn’t all bad, he’s just broken hearted. Because he lost people who are very important to him. (His mom and wife) No thanks to the Emperor.
I agree. Why a lot of people think he was that big villain is mostly because the original movies came out first. And many didn't like to see Vader as a little kid. But that was a good idea. It's never been Anakin 's fault, more like the emperor and the councel who chose not to believe in his abilities
@@clarajaysI have been saying that for years and most people for no reason don't understand nor even get that at all.
And that really bothers me a lot from them.
Anakin never asked for all those awful things that happened to him,
All he ever wanted to do is freeing his own mother from slavery and take her with him to somewhere far from Tattoine and save his own wife and the love of his life,Padme from a unexpected death at childbirth.
And the main reason why he ever wanted to become a Jedi,
It's because he always wanted to save, free and protect those who cannot defend themselves and preventing them from dying in vain,
Especially those who he always cares, loves and cherish with his own very good and pure heart and soul and become a recognizable hero that everyone can cheer and admire for all the great heroics he has done.
But unfortunately, both The Jedi Council nor even Palpatine never saw that in him.
The Jedi Council didn't give him the proper Jedi Training nor the proper Jedi Treatment nor even the proper help he truly needed and deserve.
They just constantly keep misjudging him, misunderstand him and kept lying & keeping secrets to him almost all the time.
No matter Qui-Gon and Count Dooku don't seat on The Council.
And they were actually right about The Jedi Council for being Liars, Wrong and Being Foolish Blind and Selfish to some other people like Anakin.
And they called themselves True Jedi,
What a bunch of blind and selfish fools.
And as for Palpatine,
He just wants him to become his new dark apprentice (A.K.A a slave) so can he do all of dirty work for him, kept lying to him, seduced and manipulated him with his own dark powers and then replace him with another different apprentice that is stronger than him (What a old evil prick and dick).
No wonder why Maul, Dooku and Vader wanted to kill him so badly.
And I don't blame them,
That old evil man truly deserves to die.
And Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader has always been my personal favorite Star Wars character.
Not only I synthesize with him,
But also relate to him as well.
OMG i never expected Zuko on this list. Great choice, I totally agree with this ❤
Same!!!!
Cruella is one one of the movies that you watch one time and forget that it exists
I’m sure in the case of Cruella, Vader & Maleficent this should be top 10 iconic villains ruined by backstory. The 2 Disney baddies becoming antiheroes which completely contradicts why people liked their demeanour in the first place (12:12 also different Disney baddie)
Right with you there!
Agreed
that bothered me so much wtf
I certainly agree with you on Cruella. She wanted to skin puppies to make a coat!
While we didn't need a backstory for Maleficent, I did enjoy the personal touch it added for her evil. Though, everything after the curse being placed... Meh.
Agree with you. That’s my exact problem with Disney villain era recently.
I really like Cheryl Blossom's backstory. She was a really good antagonist in the show before it went all crazy.
Purely from the source material... Snape wasn't really abused by his father, he just grew up poor and lonely, his parents were unhappy and he never really liked staying home but you never really get the sense that he was abused. You don't even get the sense of neglect as Potter gets from his aunt and uncle. They were just generally unhappy due to poverty. His mother is a pure blood that married a muggle, one thing that can be certain is that there was love involved. For one thing, if his father was an abuser, Snape never would have kept his name.
Megamind was never truly a villain in the movie, he liked hanging out with Minion and Megamind liked being the hero in Merro City.
I tend to find Zurg (or Buzz’s villainous half as it works) from Lightyear broken. It’s true he tried to erase every beautiful moment Alisha had but all he wanted was to be a space ranger again and have a sense of accomplishment.
Controversial opinion: I'm surprised Thanos (at least prior to Endgame) wasn't on this list since he didn't think of himself as a villain & he believed his actions were justified in the long term to save lives.
oh I loved the live-action Maleficent & Once Upon A Time heck even Loki & Megamind was awesome
What about:
.Wreck-It-Ralph from Wreck-It-Ralph
.Sunset Shimmer from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls franchise
.Starlight Glimmer from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
.Bruno from Encanto
.Jessie, James and Meowth from the Pokemon franchise
Ralph didn't even do any villainous actions in the movie, just in the game. Probably the worst thing he did was investing Sugar Rush, and even that wasn't intentional. The Nicelanders (or whatever they were called) treated him like an actual villain despite him practically living with them for 30 years.
but Bruno and Ralph are not really villains in their respective movie
No way home is literally about how the villains are really human inside and I love the movie for doing that
Cruella is such a heart wrenching backstory
👎👎👎. Prefer the 1966 animated films
I think it's stupid. Trying to make n animal abuser a sympathetic character
@@laurenpatrick4609 I agree with you there and was talking about this with a friend during the weekend when they were watching the movie
Mr. Freeze deserved a place on this list
Two-Face
Dinobot (Beast Wars)
Takano Miyo (Higurashi)
Hansel and Gretel (Black Lagoon)
Billy (Stranger Things)
Poor Megamind was bullied into being the villain by Metroman. Metroman was, in my opinion, the true villain in the movie, since he only bullied Megamind for praise, until Megamind figured the only thing he was good at was causing trouble
I like this idea.
In my original, potential series, my character, Terrance, fits this perfectly. He's been abused by his father, Thomas, who's even eviler than him, and Thomas kills his mother, Tara, as well, leaving Terrance with no one to turn to. His older brother, Theodore, picked on him, but really Thomas made sure they wouldn't reconcile. Also, he's a demon with insane powers, as well. He also wants to take over, and destroy the world to revive his mother.
Snape, Cruella De Vil, Dr.Doof, Joker and Zuko 💖
Oh how could I forget about Zuko?! One of my favorite tv redemption arcs.
Mako Fujisaki from Brynhildr in the Darkness (2014) isn't evil; she just broken because the people from The Lab took her humanity away from her and turned her into a Witch against her will that why she became a Villain.
Princess Luna from MLP:FIM was a broken villain, but her story is resolved so quickly in the first episode that I get why she's not here.
In the Netflix series You, Beck made it clear that Joe is broken 🤷🏻♂️. But i guess the jury is still out if Joe is a villain or not
Jamie was clearly a bad guy. And Erik was not broken, he was hurt and became bitter.
But Jamie did a lot of good
But Jamie did a lot of good
I havent watched much gane of thrones so i cant comment on that, but i must agree with Eric
No jaime was just misunderstood i mean would you rather that jaime didn.t stop the mad king and would let him murder/burn thousand of innocent People cuz i think he did the right thing by killing him sure there may not be an excuse for his attempted murder of bran but he is a good and honorable man none the less
Ikr people always forget Jamie pushed down an innocent child down the tower to cover his incestuous affair.😂
What I love about the Joker's origin stories is that he gets mentally broken one way or another. Jack Nicholson's Joker? Snaps because of botched surgery. The Killing Joke? Lost his wife and unborn child and fell into toxins after a robbery gone wrong. 2019 Joker? Was already mentally ill but was pushed too far by society. So either way, something was going to make him turn into The Clown Prince of Darkness.
It's true, in fact i'd say on some level at least half of the characters on this list are more (In their own right) like anti-heroes rather than actual villains.
I'm surprised no one from My Little Pony made it into this list. Nightmare Moon or Starlight Glimmer. Even Queen Chrysalis might count considering she was under the pressure to feed an entire colony for god-knows-how long, only for that colony to betray her
I know right? U’d think they’d at least consider Sunset Shimmer or even Cozy Glow
you even mentioned regina, awesome
I know
Zuko had one of the best character arcs of all time and he will forever be my favourite for it.
When Arthur Fleck was attacked by 3 men on the subway he shot one of them in self defense. When he shot the next one it was 2nd degree murder, and following the 3rd man down the platform (who was crawling for his life) and shooting him in the back was 1st degree murder. Arthur Fleck, like most of the characters on this list, started out as broken but became evil by the end of the movie.
Sererus snape wasnt a villan at all. All hes every done was for harry. His backstory was so emotional that scared him but cared.
Another honarable mention: Scarlet Witch.
Megamind I could relate to. People say I did bad things but really I try saving everyone. So went from hero to anti-hero to show people what a real bad guy lookslike. But I feel sorry for Maleficent even more
Loki, Sandman and Megamind are my favourites.
Msmojo really needs to take that "One critic said" back about Zuko. It's not just one simple critic that admires his redemption arc, not one, not two. It's everyone that watched ATLA who loves and admires Zuko's character arc period. They better choose their words carefully next time they bring him up.
Also needs to take out Cruella De Vil being broken she is just evil
@@Joyful_Traitor ok, that I can definitely agree with from a certain perspective
Happy sunday Ms Mojo, and nice top BTW. take care and i hope to see you soon for more, greetings from Colombia.
Zuko was built different
There's also Mr. Freeze.
Oh yeah definitely
Zuko, Joker, and Maleficient were the best ones in my opinion. All three of them had been damaged most damage the most because of the societies they lived in. Zuko scarred for life for having humanity, Joker ridiculed and bullied for his condition which was caused by abuse, and Maleficient whose heart and wings were torn by the man who she loved dearly just so he could be king. Two of them find redemption and light in their hearts once more, while one still remains in the darkness and becomes the demon that laid dormant for so long.
The first villain that came to my min when I started watching this video was Gollum from Lord of the Rings who has quite a well-known backstory due to his obsesson with the One Ring
I feel sorry for both Megamind and Dr. D. Both of them were just labeled as bad guys. But they weren't actually evil. Malificent too.
I am so glad Anikan, Joker, Maleficent, & Zuko are on the list. Surprisingly Princess Luna Aka Nightmare Moon and Syndrome are not on the list.
I think Loki is not as bad as he seems to be. He just wants to be accepted in my opinion.
Lannister and Darth Vader making this list is actually wild
I have some good ones as well:
Gollum - Lord of the Rings franchise,
Slade Wilson/Deathstroke - Arrow series,
Russel Collins - Deadpool 2,
Rex Dangervest - The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part,
Roul Silva - Skyfall,
Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard - The Amazing Spider-Man,
Electro - The Amazing Spider-Man 2,
Queen Freya - The Huntsman: Winter's War,
Medusa the Gorgon - the Clash of the Titans remake/Percy Jackson,
The Grinch - How the Grinch Stole Christmas,
Koba - Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,
Andrew Detmer - Chronicle,
Ben Solo/Kylo Ren - New Star Wars trilogy,
The Wicked Witch of the West - Oz: The Great and Powerful,
Starro the Conqueror - The Suicide Squad,
Artemisia - 300: Rise of an Empire,
Wilson Fisk/Kingpin - Daredevil series,
The Penguin and Catwoman - Batman Returns,
Black Adam - Black Adam,
Gabby Gabby - Toy Story 4,
Gorr the God Butcher - Thor: Love and Thunder,
Syndrome - The Incredibles,
Whiplash - Iron Man 2
and Magneto - X-Men franchise.
Megamind and Darth Vader, for sure
I agree with you
Me too
I'm not sure about Killmonger. Now, admittedly I haven't seen Black Panther, but I've seen and read enough to know what his endgame is. It doesn't sound like freedom fighting in as it is revenge. I mean it sounds like he wants to be the one doing the oppressing and will kill scores of people in the process.
Maybe it's just me, but that sounds pretty evil to me.
because it is evil
I feel like Hans should be in this list. He’s the youngest of 13 boys. All of whom tortured him. To top it all off his parents encouraged this bad behavior. All he wanted to do was escape home and find love. He just wanted life away from his horrific family
Hans apparently got misfitted into the villain role when they decided to make Elsa good. They could have had an interesting story with Anna and Elsa switching loves, and they had ready-made villains already out to destroy Elsa. Still don't know what they were thinking.
I'm not really a MEGAmind fan, but admittedly, I did enjoy his 2 fights with Tighten. Pun intended.
Let's not forget about John Kramer AKA Jigsaw from the Saw franchise, who's life started to crumbled when he had his wife Jill lost their new born child and was later diagnosed with terminal cancer and try to take his own life in the process only to survived his failed attempted suicide and became the villain that we're all familiar with.
Snape was never the villain, he was just playing a part as instructed by Dumbledore
Good video
If I were in Maleficent's place
I would take my revenge too
Maleficent’s backstory is definitely the best one on this list. Sad, but still definitely deserves number one.
Despicable Me VS Megamind!
I thought Gru from Despicable Me would be on this list.
Top 10 Greatest Marvel/DC Supervillain Teams!
Not gonna lie these are kinda my favorite types of villains.
facts joker was really broken and i believe that all villains are. I remember when I visited my grandmother in the village, and my grandmother said, son one day some people will waste their time reading your comment then they’ll listen your new song on your channel
I’ve loved Loki since he first appeared in Thor’s first trilogy film. It’s not that I didn’t follow what his character was doing; it was more that I couldn’t believe what a horrible, hateful upbringing he had been given (under the circumstances) & as the movies cont., it just became more & more clear that Odin was the worst parental figure ever! Just AWFUL! The fact that Loki still had the desire to impress both his father & his big brother after such horrific experiences impressed me greatly & his fairly quick admission on his series that he doesn’t enjoy hurting ppl made him even more admirable. When you consider what many of the “superheroes “ of the Avengers have on their ledgers, it seems somewhat hypocritical to call out Loki on anything he’s done on earth. If nothing else, he was holding onto Thanos’ mind stone the entire time he was there and it took mere minutes to get the human minds total wacked out by that sphere. How is that any dif than Natasha or TWS being mind controlled by evil Russians?!
Joker was tormerned,bullied, andbetrayed by the system that was supposed to help him
Can't agree with Homelander, even if it's an "honorable mention".
