Antony Starr deserves an Emmy 100%.
Mr Robot WASN’T a villain
Lea michele as hester from scream queens
Antony has been getting robbed since 2019!
Yes. Yes he most definitely deserves an Emmy. Brilliantly performed
Someone give Antony Starr an Emmy
Word👍🏾
🥛👅
If John Hamm got an Emmy for playing Don Draper from Mad Men, if Matthew Rhys got an Emmy for playing Phillip Jennings from The Americans, and if Bryan Cranston got an Emmy for playing Walter White/Heisenberg from Breaking Bad, then Antony Starr should get an Emmy for playing Homelander from The Boys!
"I'm not worried about it, man," Starr told Rolling Stone when asked to share his thoughts about the awards buzz surrounding his character. "As I've gotten older, my ambitions have changed. And I realize the mechanics behind those things, the politics and all of that. And I think, good luck to everyone, but yeah, that's not what drives me."
For doing what exactly?
Antony Starr as Homelander is the best thing about The Boys
Billy Butcher is pretty cool too.
One of the best things about television, period. He has had the time to make Homelander an epic all-time villain. He deserves an Emmy IMO
i agree his the best villian ive seen so far.
Trump thinks he looks exactly like Homelander. He's even selling overpriced digital trading cards that look like homelander with trump's head on his body 🤣
Anthony Starr as Homeland and karl Urban as Billy Butcher for me !
Homelander’s the best tv villain right now
litreally
Indeed.
Ever
ATHONY STARR DESERVES AN EMMY!!!!
Antony Starr needs an award please
Homelander is such a love to hate villain whenever you think he can’t get worst he hilariously gets worse.
You know a villian is extremely good when you still like them for the role they play, Homelander is the goat
Or when you watch behind the scenes footage and you’re still scared of him.
Lalo deserved that number 2 spot to himself. Even Gus feared him
Lalo was not a better character or played better than Gus was. So no.
@@crucialthedon3997 Gus had BB. BCS was Lalo’s. Those last episodes he was a monster
@@willyice704 Lalo 4 and gus 3 or the other way around they are very neck and neck to me and walter has to be atleast 2
@@sidarth632 this is from the last decade so Gus and Walter on breaking bad do not count
Tbh, Lalo is the most underrated villain of all time. It is because not many people could continue watching BCS because they thought the show was "slow".
Stupid people don't understand that "slow" doesn’t mean "not good".
Antony Starr’s performance as Homelander is SO good. He really makes you hate/fear the character.
Absolute 10/10
No redemption for him at all.
David Tenant as Kilgrave was definitely in my top 5!
Kilgrave is terrifying. Just the thought of a psychopath with the ability to make you do whatever they want. *shudder*
Exactly! He was so sinister!
The show wasn't as good without him
I honestly could imagine someone like Kilgrave existing in the real world, even without mind control. He actually wouldn’t feel out of place in “The Boys”.
Give Anthony Starr an Emmy!!
Bev Keane from Midnight Mass definitely deserved an honorable mention. You know you're a good villain when you're more hated than the literal blood sucking vampire that's in the show. Also Lorne Malvo deserves an actual spot on the list and not an honorable mention.
Seconded. Bev's the worst. Midnight Mass is such an amazing and underrated show. Mike Flanagan is the most exciting thing in horror since Jordan Peele.
True
Giancarlo Esposito - Gus Fring Breaking Bad & Stan Edgar The Boys. He always plays the perfect Villians. He made Gus Fring so relatable.
I became a fan of him for his portrayal of Neville on Revolution. I've watched a couple of movies I otherwise wouldn't have because he was in it.
He made Gus Fring relatable but still mysterious.
His interactions with Homelander always were the best thing about stan edgar! He always showed Homelander who was boss even tho Homelander could easily kill him
And Moff Gideon in The Mandolorian.
What’s next grand regent thragg
One of my favorite things about Antony Starr's portrayal of Homelander is the small facial details, he adds in an extra facial expression, or some weird noise, or whatever to whatever emotion he is feeling which makes it seem so authentic.
Nobody makes me feel as unsafe as Anthony Starr as Homelander.
Every. Damned. Scene I am just wondering what he'll do next. He feels utterly unhinged and I am loving it! I was so surprised to see Anthony Starr in Covenant, Guy Ritchie's movie, as he was completely different and he looks SO GOOD with black hair and beard!!
What a talent.
Mads as Hannibal
Ramsay and Joffery's performances were perfect. They were supposed to be despised characters, and they pulled it off.
Homelander is both incredibly captivating & terrifying in equal measure. Antony Starr is brilliant.
There is absolutely no redemption for Homelander. None At All. And if you don't believe me go ask Elizabeth Shue's character and her son.
.... they tried with Jamie Lannister in Game of Thrones. Damn his ending was terrible.
@@Caffeine_Club No redemption qualities either.
Madelyn stillwell was a monster herself, but her baby was just a baby..
@@thomerno that is not an excuse.
Pretty sure he saved the baby. Probably out of some twisted feelings for Mads. It was actually Butcher who was willing to kill the kid even though it wouldn’t have injured Homelander at all.
Homelander just takes the cake. He absolutely steals the show, you hate to love him
love to hate him *
Jeffrey Dean Morgan is perfectly cast as Negan
Giancarlo Esposito is always a treat to watch.
Oh you failed so hard on this one! David Tenant as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones doesn't even rate a mention?
That's such an underrated show.
It’s Antony, not Anthony
They even got Matthew Waterson’s name wrong too!
Thanks for pointing out this typo, much appreciated.
Sue them 🤓
I would have had Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal on here. He had massive shoes to fill and did a great job
Can't have this list without Tom Cavanagh as the reverse flash/ Harrison wells
You most certainly can. He did well with what he got but what he got was some of the worst writing I’ve ever seen on tv
Why wasn’t Mark Pellegrino listed for his portrayal of Lucifer in supernatural? Not only was he amazing as the devil but he was genuinely terrifying, funny and in some cases sympathetic.
I was also waiting for Teddy Sears as Zoom in The Flash (second season), but I also enjoyed Mark Pellegrino as James Bishop on the first season of the underrated U.S. adaptation of Being Human.
probably because of the "in some cases sympathetic" part. would you call homelander sympathetic? or ramsay bolton?
@@dietotakuHomelander, yes. Ramsey, no.
I felt he was too sympathetic. He let shit slide way to much instead of just killing people.
No way, Death in SN was better tho Lucifer was good too
All great picks. Great video.
i think Robin Lord Taylor as the Penguin deserves to be a honorable mention
Didn’t think of this but yes he’s incredibly underrated. His performance is the main reason I kept watching that show
awesome job about TV Villain Performances of the Last Decade from Top 10
This is one of the most pitch perfect lists on Watch Mojo. They nailed it.
Hugh Laurie as Richard Roeper in The Night Manager. That show is underrated AF.
Hamish Linklater as Father Paul in Midnight Mass. Brilliant villain in an amazing show.
Harry Treadaway as Brady Hartsfield in Mr. Mercedes - such a great show.
Father Paul wasn't the true villian though. He's just proof of the old adage that the path to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Dude that thumbnail is a perfect 😂
Antony star people. Antony. There's no "H".
It's Starr. There are two 'r's.
😂 @@silgen
Amazing video watch mojo,fantastic job.
They didn't even get #1's name right 😂😂
I would've hoped to see David Tennant from 'Jessica Jones' on this list. He was so chilling. Anthony Starr 100000 percent deserves his number one spot. And an Emmy.
“Last chance to look at me, Hector.”
-Final words of Gustavo Fring
The Boys! Just these clips of Starr's Homelander make me wanna watch it all over again and again.
New season is pretty good imo, and there's a new episode tomorrow
Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister. That man could be calm and subtle, yet incredibly powerful and intimidating.
That was such an awesome character, only second to Tyrion imo. And that was his only weakness, to disparage him. No one would've stopped them if they had worked together.
Antony Starr as Homelander is chilling and unpredictable
Kingpin deserves a higher spot in this list.
Pretty good list!
Antony Starr is amazing as Homelander. Range of emotions that he is able to put in that performance sometimes in same scene is outstanding.
Congrats Anthony Star for being Villainous Villain Star! HAHA
Should have waited for this list. Billy Butcher should be on this.
I wouldn't say Butcher is a villain. Anti-hero maybe, but not a villain.
They all are pretty horrible.
@@rachelfishbein1478 He meana after this (4th) season ends, Butcher will be the villain.. That's why he said "should have waited"
Amazing list and Antony Starr is the best, but I would add Kevin Thompson as Kilgrave in Jessica Jones. Fantastic performance!
That thumbnail is everything 😂
Gen Z's- Vecna and Homelander
Legends- Logan Roy and Gustavo Fring right at the top.
That is a very well earned no. 1
Eden Espinosa as Cassandra 🔮
"Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure"
I don’t love HOW they made her into a villain. But I’m not gonna deny how talented the voice actress was.
If Giancarlo Esposito portrays his mystery villain In Captain America Brave New World with the same amount of energy he did Gus, then we will be in for a fun time
How are you gonna credit Christian Slater for Mr Robot when the REAL villain Whiterose (played masterfully by BD Wong) was RIGHT THERE!!!
Antony Starr is a perfect casting for Homelander
Homelander is the greatest TV villain of all-time for me. Will be sad when the show ends next season.
I compare Anthony Stars performance as homelander to heath ledgers joker. Both are so great on screen and you can’t but continue to watch them wondering what crazy scene will come next. Definitely two actors that embodied their role of playing the bad guy better than any hero in the film. You want to hate them but you can’t stop watching them. The films wouldn’t be the same without their performance. Give Anthony his recognition and awards already Hollywood, he sure earned them.
Daniel Shermann's performance as Troy in FTWD season 3 was excellent
Can't believe she mentionned The Governor but didn't include him on the list
John Creese, Homelander, Vecna, Ramsey Bolton has to be the most valid list I have ever seen.
well deserved homelander, but kilgrave was better than some on the list
What about Keith David as King Andrias from Amphibia, Ron Perlman as The Lich from Adventure Time, Robert Englund as Anti-Pops from Regular Show, David Tennant as the Lord Commander from Final Space, and Matthew Rhys as Emperor Belos from The Owl House?
Would have gone with the purple man for David Tennant
Every time Homelander is on screen, he just makes you feel uncomfortable. That's a sign of a great villian.
I would have unsubscribed if Homelander wasn't number 1. This dude sends shivers down my spine and not in a good way. Excellent choice!
Love the nod to Mr. Robot
Lee Pace as Brother Day in Foundation needs a mention here as well.
Anthony's jaw muscles must also br nominated for all the awards.
Homelander as Antony Starr is crazy good
Honestly homelander is the main reason why i watch the show, not that the show is bad, far from it, even though season 4 is kind of a let down so far, but each scene homelander is in are tense and so fucking interesting to watch, he is fucking horrible but at the same time the more we see of his story the more i understand how he must feel
Season 4 is great. I'm enjoying it a lot.
So glad that Tony Dalton at least got an honorable mention as Lalo. One of the greatest TV villains of all time.
He should’ve had that 2 spot to himself. He had a Homelander type creepiness to him. Gus even feared him.
@willyice704 agreed, and it was the only time we truly saw Gus fear anything and anyone. Also, Lalo surviving the ambush on his estate was terrifying.
Ziegler, Ziegler, Ziiiiiiiiiiiegler.
Pip Torrens As Herr Starr Preacher (2016-2019) Based on the Antagonist from DC Vertigo's Preacher series adapted by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg for AMC
Anthony Starr does such a great job at playing a psycopathic supe. He is up there with Heath Ledger's Joker.
Just watched to confirm Omni Man & Homelander are on the list. Was not disappointed.
(Multiverse) Sinister Mark Grayson should be an honorable mention.
Alex Hirsch as Bill Cipher in Gravity Falls.
The role was supposed to be a guest appearance by David Lynch, but he couldn’t make it and Alex, the show’s creator, stepped up to fill in for him and ended up making the character the show’s main antagonist.
Wendy Byrde?
I feel by the end of Ozark, I saw her as a villian.
"the only man in the sky is me"
Somebody get this man an Oscar
Well deserved #1 - Antony Starr is amazing.
Since animated shows were included, it's a shame there was no Silco from Arcane - I think it's a big overshight.
Nobody can replace Anthony Starr as Homelander
I think homelander is in top 3 in tv and movies combined, just after vader and the heath ledger's joker
A villain doesn't see their acts as villainous but as justifiable actions to achieve their goals. 🎉
If homelander isn't top 3, I'm deleting... I only left him off #1 because of GOT
Edit: pleasantly surprised he is #1... So they're more cultured than I thought
Antony Starr is absolutely amazing at this role. When he's on screen, I am basically petrified as a viewer, right alongside the characters he interacts with. On top of that, if you watch bloopers and behind the scenes stuff and group interviews, he's a total light-hearted goofball and that makes his performance all the more impressive.
so many incredible villains from the hannibal series. Im surprised none were mentioned 🤔
Better Call Saul and Mr. Robot are some of my favorite shows of the last decade.
You never know what Homelander will do because of Anthony Starr's amazing performance
Matthew waterson did a great job bringing magneto's emotional side to life.
Anthony Starr has a way of looking crazed, indifferent, and still kinda innocent from how he was treated /raised. It's amazing.
Ramsey Bolton And Anthony Starr are those villains that you can’t wait for them to receive what’s coming to them.
I think we all knew Antony Starr as Homelander was going to be number 1, but I'm shocked to see Jack Black as Bowser not included in this list at all (not even in the honorable mentions like wow)
Homelander is a hero, not a villain!
Vincent D’Onofrio is so good that I’m always rooting for Kingpin.
Jim Moriarty and Eurus Holmes need a mention to say the least. They were absolutely menacing in Sherlock
Shame there isnt a mention of Mads Mikelsen as Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal.
Joseph Morgan as Klaus Mikaelson in TVD & Alex Hogh Anderson as Ivar the Boneless in The Vikings deserves a spot
Homelander definitively is a great character study. Perfect performance. Dad in Succession. Marlo and Omar in the Wire needs to be there.
Antony Starr is killing it as homelander. One of the greatest performances of all time hands down. Phenomenal.
I'm surprised that Jason Spisak as Silco wasn't on the list or mentioned
Homelander's got to be number 1. Most people think he's not even acting, that's how scary it is. & It's the only reason I clicked this thumbnail.
This would've been better as a Top Ten Comic Book Villains of the last Decade so that you can include other series in a different list.
I would add Jon Hamm's Roy Tillman in Season 5 of Fargo. Rape, Domestic Violence, and Murder hard to get more evil. Still there's that Jon Hamm charm.
Where's Lee Pace as Brother Day, the Emperor on Foundation Tv show? His performance is stunning, one of the best parts of the show
JK Simmons should do more voice work. One of the greats. He was also chilling in OZ.
