I always found it funny how John Hurt played the opressed Wilson in 1984 but also olayed the oppressor as the chancellor here in V for Vendetta. Talk about a great actor.
I am sure this wasnt lost on Hurt, as an occasion to play a twisted fascist form of O'Brien.
You beat me to it, it's even more ironic considering all the similarities between 1984 and V for Vendetta.
Versitility in roles is indeed what separates a good actor from a great one. Tom Hanks and Leslie Nelson are very good examples of this.
I actually requested Sutler on the 1984 evil episode exactly because of this.
Rest in Peace War Doctor!
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."
Ironic given that the people made the decision for government to save them…
At the end of the day, humans would rather subjugate themselves to a higher entity, than control it themselves.

As it should be. We, the people, put you in power, we the people can remove you from power if you don't represent us

The truth is that V, being an Alan Moore character, would have worked quite well in the "Watchmen" universe as a renegade vigilante chased by the authorities for not following the Keene Act. His interactions with Rorschach would be truly fascinating!
I think Alan Moore said writing V was a challenge, because he was a terrorist from a cause Moore supported.
He had to balance making V sympathetic and getting his point across without accidentally glorifying his actions.
Do you think he succeed?
Man I would read the hell out of that!
People don't understand Watchmen's themes, including Zack Snyder. Rorschach isn't supposed to be cool, Alan said so
Touch some grass.
@@Tacom4sterI guess Moore failed miserably if his intention was making Rorschach uncool.
Also, Hugo Weaving is absolutely perfect as V.
perfect
One of the BEST political thrillers ever made and one of the best CASTING choice ever made for a character for a film as Hugo Weaving’s portrayal of V is pitch perfect and absolutely incredible even tho we NEVER see his face. His voice alone is exactly the sophisticated, jovial, and cunning sly with a slight sinister edge that PERFECTLY represents and reflects who V’s character is in the film! As well as with his impeccable body language that which brings V to life in the film to showcase how full of life he is in the movie! Perfect casting and perfect character! Love this movie so much!
I agree. I don't think there was another actor who was popular at the time who could he done it.
It amazes me that one of the greatest performances of our time was delivered from behind a mask in a comic book movie. Hugo Weaving's performance is just beyond perfect. A true artist.
One of your best episodes to date.
When the movie adaptation first came out, some people were whining that they "had imagined V with a high pitched Joker-style voice". I personally couldn't have disagreed more, Weaving's portrayal was perfect like you said. Maybe the right actor could've nailed the high-pitched approach, but 1. I don't know who that could've been, 2. with the wrong actor that would've rendered V a cartoony caricature.
@@victoriah4648 lol a “high pitch voice” would NOT have worked AT ALL for V, V’s voice that comes from Hugo Weaving is PERFECT for V from how suave, jovial, and sophisticated it all is!
A V For Vendetta video on November 5th? Talk about timing!!! Thank you so much for covering this! Reading the book and watching the movie has become a yearly tradition for me. Now this has as well! Thanks so much for this, keep up the amazing work!
Yes timing of putting this V for Vendetta video was not lost on me either!
And he gave us Jason Voorhees on Friday the 13th. My man!!
@@DamningTooth1 yup, that too!
Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
Man, you're one of the few youtubers, who put out such frequent content, that over the years has not only avoided a decrease in quality but it’s gotten better and better. You’re one a whole different level now and you’re awesome!
Preach!
you're goddamn right !
Why do you copy and paste this comment every time there’s a new vid? Yes it’s extremely well made , but stop cock watching
I'm trying so hard to keep watching but it's hard when bro doesn't sound all much interested himself at what he's saying.
I don’t know if you comment this on every one of his videos or if it’s you copying another comment, but it’s insane that these are still going to top comment. Agree with the sentiment of course

One of the greatest graphic novels ever written. I was talking with a Gen Z'er and she told me they were reading a "comic book" in school. I already thought that was cool, but she later told me it was V for Vendetta! I couldn't believe it. Great to see this iconic graphic novel, truly become one piece of literature recognized by curriculum.
Tragic knowing how indoctrinated that child will become. Knowing nothing of the irony of this comic…
@@malbasedvalentine3210you would be surprised. Kids are also getting annoyed with the crap going on too. I mean have you seen how psycho their teachers get if someone doesn’t call them a they/them they take to tik tok. Talk about being a mature adult
The problem is the Left who is feeding her this are exactly like Norsefire but at the opposite end of the scale. Trying to erase history by changing words in books, Censoring debate, ripping down statues, sending antifa thugs to anything that goes against their current thing etc etc.
Most just want to live traditionally and that is seen as racist as that is the only word they can throw at people or bigot.
@@malbasedvalentine3210
What?
@@mattgilbert7347I think he's a dedicated fascist, of course he doesn't like the comic that was written by an anti fascist anarchist
R.I.P John Hurt, he plays Winston in 1984 & Adam Sutler in V for Vandetta
Correction he plays Winston. Not O’brien
He also did the voice for Aragorn in the Bakshi's Lord of the Rings.
@@RabbitShirakAnd the Horned King in Black Cauldron.
One thing I love about V is his theatrics. It just become more important today as we see how social uprising, good & bad, rely on larger than life character even more so than the ideal itself. We as a society tend to agree with a "person", a "side" more than a "concept". I find that to be a scary notion, but also an undeniable one.
V For Vendetta is certainly a very important one for discussion on dystopian villainy. Thank you for this quite timely Analyzing Evil video.
Your impeccable timing for these videos is undefeated. Longtime fan and you never disappoint.
I swear his timing is incredible, I had just watched V for Vendetta LAST WEEK because of an Instagram reel.
The algorithm is real guys!!!!😂 Big brother is watching us, let’s see if the next video will be big brother? 💀
A beautiful story about rising up against fascism. I’m so glad that V for Vendetta and its dystopian Britain has finally been covered. Great video!
Honestly I didn't even know about the comic only the movie should I read the comic?
@@deadeye6969 I highly recommend the comic. Its honestly the superior version
Agreed😊
@FookMi69 ok I'll give it a look thank you
Ah yes the classical "revolt Against the fascist oppressors" in exchange for degeneracy and "progress"
I was not expecting V to be featured this 5th of November. Thank you for featuring him, the man is GOATED
back in the 2000s when I was in 5th grade, I caught it on tv and watched it, then rented the dvd from our library and watched this movie upward to a hundred times, ended up going to school and talking about the government being corrupt and bombing them so they got the police involved.
Now, being in my 20s, seeing a 10 year old in the 2000s acting like that I can imagine it be pretty wild
Yeah sure
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V"
One of the best analysis of V For Vendetta I've ever watched. And something that should be kept in mind in these recent days, as a lots of individuals, movements, corporations and governments have been abetting persecution and violation of people's rights and freedoms under the disguise of promoting "equality".
As someone wise once said, *_"Villainy wears many masks, none so dangerous as the mask of virtue."_*
One thing I like to keep in mind is that V in the graphic novel is more morally ambigous of a character, while in the movie he's portrayed as being a charming man in pursuit of righteous revenge.
I like the movie, but I think the novel did a better job at posing implicit questions about V's morality and the morality of his actions.
When V is done right, people would argue over whether he's a radical activist with a righteous cause or a lunatic terrorist.
What's the difference?
One man's radical activist is anothers terrorist. You'll just be arguing your own biases and morality, not V's morality.
If I was put on the spot, I can understand V's actions and I don't entirely disagree with them. But the key thing is, I would be more inclined to agree with V because i agree with some of his reasoning, a goverment should fear it's people and a facist goverment must be opposed and fought against. It's not exactly easy to encourage that idea, or fear in the goverment of its people, without giving them something to actually fear, that being their own lives at risk from the people they rule. Like what, you think asking politely is going to work? "Please be kind to us, sir... " Since when has protest ever worked, you think there's a peaceful way to encourage a goverment fear it's people, especially if you're a single man or few in number and denied the ability to organise as explicitly against the current government?
I believe the scene where all the people emerge wearing the mask, all sharing the ideal, all willing to fight for freedom, that wouldn't have happened without an act of aggression. V had to make a show, to expose some weakness, to display to others that goverment can be hurt, that the people have a chance. You know, "if it bleeds, it means we can kill it.", so whilst I disagree with blowing up buildings, especially the historic or iconic architecture of London, I understand the reason for it and I can't say I wouldn't also come to the conclusion that it needs to be done to encourage those who are willing join in that fight if they see there's a chance. I'd probably be a little more selective about it but that would be to my detriment, there are some iconic buildings that stand as an icon of goverment, the thing you're opposing, and it just makes sense to target those icons. It sends the message loud and clear.
I think after that particular paragraph, I'm probably going onto a list, if I wasn't already. Remind me to never purchase a bag of fertiliser from B&Q using chip and pin.
But, there are groups who do pretty much the same things, and I don't agree with their actions because I disagree with their motives and their ideology. It's a funny old thing, hypocrisy, isn't it...
To put it simply, when it comes to me, a secularist can probably get away with things that I'd tear a theocrat apart for. That's just my bias, I can still understand the reasoning behind the theocrats actions and even sympathise, but I despise his idoeolgy and intentions so his actions are less tolerable. Nether are great but if you have to choose the lesser of two evils, I'd take the one that doesn't perform evil acts in the name of an imaginary tyrant, but to oppose and overthrow a real one. Not all secularists have ideologies I tolerate though, communists for example, I despise them immensely but I suppose I'd take them over Christian nationalists or Islamists, or Zionists.
I guess the tldr is that V's nature, whether radical or terrorist, depends on you. Seperate the emotion from the language, if that's the correct way of putting it, and they're the same thing. A radicalised individual willing to do some morally questionable things to get shit their way.
@@djinnxx7050 The difference is that the movie clumbsily painted V in an overtly positive light with zero moral ambiguity to his character. The comic book did not.
@@djinnxx7050 Also the rest of your post is kind of inconsequential to mine.
I'm not here to debate your political theory.
@djinnxx7050 you only destroy yourself when you become the very thing you were fighting against. People who idolize V are not nearly as intelligent or deep as they believe they are.
@@sevenproxies4255 He imprisoned a woman for his own political motives. I don't think that paints him in a good light, it actually displays that he to is capable of evil, if he can justify it to himself. The ends justify the means, that is a moral grey area, you could say it's even a little ambiguous...
Did that particular aspect slip your mind, or is that just a typical Saturday night for you and the ladies?
Remember, Remember the 5th of November,
The Gunpowder, Treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason Should ever be Forgot ❤
"People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people."-V from V For Vendetta.
I'm almost positive it comes from Thomas Jefferson.
@@TheBayzent Whoever it does come from they had the right mindset for the worst enemy of any nation is itself and when things get out of hand that is when you know you are in for the fight of your life.
You should do an analysis of Whiterose from Mr. Robot! I feel like she's a perfect villain to cover on this channel because of her unique motivation (which is to control time, make people immortal, and end all forms of suffering) which is undermined by all the suffering she caused to further her agenda.
That would be seriously awesome. Maybe he'd release it on May 9th (5/9).
Just finished watching the series start to finish. Never saw the final season. Loved whiterose… until the end. I thought they really screwed up the ending of her story. I was like Oh, ok, soooo all that scheming and conniving and convincing and confidence and … that’s it?
Idk. The final season after episode one which was shocking, everything else was plot convenience after plot convenience and a boring outcome. Which sucks bc seasons 1 and 3 are about as close to perfection as it gets. And I’m a picky b. I love shows like Lost, The Wire, Succession…. But hey I also love Buffy the vampire slayer the x files and supernatural so… lol what do I kno
I never thought of him as the villain until rn. Crazy how if you humanise a character and only show their side then can do anything and you’ll just not noticed
President Snow from the Hunger Games, Kevin from We Need To Talk About Kevin, and Tasya Voss from Possessor are great villains that should be covered
Oh il nam and squid game , lilico from helter skelter,
Villanelle from killing eve
Would be intriguing seeing his intake on Heihachi Mishima
I would love a video on Tasya Voss, good choice
I found we need to talk about Kevin so boring and pretentious - (spoiler) the idea of a school-bow and arrow-shooter is just so absurd I couldn’t take anything seriously. The kid was pure evil, no likable characteristic to relate to him and care about him at all. Or the mom. I didn’t even feel bad for her. Only the dad and sister. And hamster lol And I LOVE tinda swinton (spelling idk) I think she’s one of the best actresses of all time. But I just could not get into it, and I love heady movies you’re meant to think about for months and months. I respect people who could get into it and get something from it. Bc it’s not me. I didn’t hate Kevin, I didn’t like Kevin, honestly I was just bored. Possessor was such a great film!
Just wanted to add, my top villains would probably be Hans gruber inglorious basterds, Arthur fleck joker (if he’s even really a villain vs antihero), Anton chagur no country for old men, homelander the boys (an almost perfect example), Tyler Durden fight club and Patrick Bateman American psycho… is Snape a villain bc he’s about as sympathetic as it gets 💔
I would love a video on Kevin.
I’m always in the lookout! I love both your content AND your delivery, and thank you so much for the time and attention you give towards making your videos so great to watch. Discovered you while listening to a different analizys of tywin! That's my favorite video of yours! Please do more ASOIAF villains like ramsay!
Great video, loved the Hugo Weaving movie as well. This makes me crave a Vile Eye video on the Enclave/Vault-tec from Fallout.
The whole universe from fallout is corrupt
Well you got part of your wish😂
Hugo Weaving was an amazing casting choice. I understand he was a last minute choice but best choice ever.
I loved this film.... partly because its become so close to real life and it makes me more aware of media manipulation
Nah, it is the comic, not the movie 🤷🏻♂️
@dummbobqqqqq haha just realised that...but my points still stand
Curious, what to you has this relating to “real life”? I want to see how aware you are, or is it going to the expected answer.
@malbasedvalentine3210 I don't know what the expected answer would be. But I know the UK government tried to push in a number of more draconian laws about refugee and protest lawyers during the Covid Pandemic.
And they did use the influence of fear to get aware with alot of actions.
As Brit it was rather unnerving to witness
Perfect for the day and for the current political environment.
Impeccable timing, I just got done watching Vendetta as I always do on the 5th of November.
The literary references in the movie always fascinated me: Twelth Night, The Count of Monte Cristo, Richard III, etc.
But I think Mephistopheles from Faust would be an excellent exploration of evil.
Cheers, mate
What an amazing surprise man! You spoil us too much and i'm here for it!
just when i feel like there are only so manh villians, you come back and cover the greatest ones. Great work!
Man you’re dropping content at such a fast rate it’s crazy
I've never read the novel, but the themes and movie are a profound part of my mind. Thanks for the excellent video!
I have been waiting for this episode. I love your videos and hope you keep doing them.❤
As someone living in a dictatorial 1984 state, I have always had special feelings for this great piece of art. XD + Amazing video as usual 👌

@@mattgilbert7347 ask Justin Castreau
That escalated Quickly. XD
Thanks for doing this one. I can tell recent events have made to heavily consider and analyze this property and I thank you for your assessment.
V for Vendetta was the first book I read that provided an Anarchist perspective. A lot of media is quick to disregard it as just chaos, but it was really refreshing to read Moore place his beliefs into the book
I’m not an anarchist but it was interesting to see a perspective that wasn’t just “anarchism bad because chaos”
Great video man
It’s kind of a stupid comic in all truth. It’s exaggerated and reflects the authors biases of how things would occur if such a scenario were to occur, but in reality it would be more akin to people being more willing to support the new regime without question. Also, any revolution will be destroyed due to the advancement of technology (Internet) discovering their whereabouts.
@@malbasedvalentine3210
Ahh you're one of those. Go back to your bridge, troll. Or 4Chan, whatever. Just go.
Anarchism has neuances sure but IMO it will lead to even more Chaos even if you somehow managed to make sure it works, I don't think its practical to assume that just because you removed the State and somehow found a way to reorganise society that it would somehow stop all its woes (be it Anarcho Socialist, Primitive ect),
I mean its from Chaos and Lack of Central Rulership that made some of the most tyranical and broken states too, without a State to make sure that Rules are followed, the Honestly Rule typical of Anarchism IMO is not really gonna make people any safer in practice.
@@malbasedvalentine3210TBF to Alan, every Author has a Bias just look at say Tolkien, but while I agree that Alan beats you over the head with Anarchism, at the very least he makes the ending Vauge enough for people of any ideological perscription to interpret but IMO if this is realistic it would be as bleak as what happened before Norsefire took office, with its Remnants and everyone else Vaying for Power which happened IRL after a Tyranical Regime was toppled,
The French Revolution Began the sameway with Progressives Rebelling against the Old Order but then the Jacobins came in and introduced the Terror, then Napoleon then the Burbons got back in charge which could happen here, Now Imagine if the Instigators of that had No Plans after what comes after the Monarchy was toppled. (People tend to lump the opposition to a Tyranical Government into one group when in reality they are Lots of Different people with Different views on where to take Society next.)
@@forickgrimaldus8301never claimed no author have bias. I’m just saying that those who look at this comic or film as “truth” are naive. Also, the fact that the “right wing fascists” gained influence and power after the destruction, gives you enough context clues to show you that the opposite were in charge and fumbled it tremendously. This coincides with the real world where old school liberals are fumbling it with the their more radical side, and the more radical side are fumbling it with the average joes who in turn run to the their enemies. This is what happens when one so arrogant to understand the people around you, and instead remain isolated with fellow yes-men (Moore). V himself is the contradiction to what he’s trying to achieve, it’s almost laughable as he’s doing the work for the government, because he’s the boogyman the government has been trying to get the people to blame for the hardships of the past.
All in all Alan Moore should tremble knowing his work is the prediction of the liberalism’s fall of power, and the rise of the fascist right like myself.
This is by far my favorite movie thank you soo much for covering this character 💜 vile eye❤
Your sublime timing for this content is second to none! Longtime fan! You never dissapoint 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
Vile Eye, I love your work. Still, I maintain, we need an in depth analysis of Chain Smoking Man or Cancer Man from X-Files.
I’d very much like to see an Analyzing Evil video on the Cigarette Smoking Man too.
Lovely read of V for Vendetta, you're one of the best man, keep up the good work
Would love a video on the British government from Children of Men, ideally the film, because some of the themes and the world it is set in are very similar to V for Vendetta. I think it would be a really interesting analysis on the lengths people are willing to go to protect themselves and maintain order in a crumbling world, just like V for Vendetta. Thank you for this video and keep up the good work man.
Great work on this. I never read the comic, seeing only the movie, but I heard about it from a friend a long time ago in contrast to the movie, and I'm happy to see both brought into analytical view with your brand of objectivity.
Thoroughly insightful and interesting analyzing on a story with a flawed hero who might not have had much choice for pushing his country out of it's fear-filled complacency with that madman who sat alone in his cage.
Great video!
I love this story so much, but the similarities with our current world is just terrifying. It's a very clear warning, but I guess no matter what you do or how you present it, some people just can't see.
The dangers of not studying history. Leftists convinced the world that right wing ideology ends up in fascism, so people ignored the fact that there hasn’t been a single instance in which a leftist party didn’t end up becoming a fascist dictatorship.
Everyone ended up voting leftists in, America unfortunately included, and here are the results.
Wrong.
Not even close.
More of a Brave New World,
@@thereisnosanctuary6184you definitely need to go outside
Agreed. Most people are not critical thinkers at all. I noticed this at the ripe age of 7 years old, not even joking...kind of shattered my worldview, but has not disappointed in prophecy...
I've been saying this for ages, I hate how people portray V as "just as bad" it's like, no he's fighting so you have a choice, NorseFire is fighting to take it away
Who would say such a stupid thing?
Honestly, considering Vile Eye's record, I was expecting this video to be saying exactly that...
Edit: And I was _intensely_ disappointed...
This video was very entertaining and informing. I have only viewed the film, yet I can tell you that it is verily one worth watching. A work of art from the visionary Wachowskis and James Mcteigue. Despite not getting to see his visage, V is a very compelling character, and that is primarily thanks to the versatile and vigorous acting of Hugo Weaving. I was already convinced that he was a tremendous and valuable actor when I watched his performance as the vile virus Agent Smith, who I consider to be one of cinema's best villains, akin to the likes of the vivifying and villainous version of the Joker played by the late Heath Ledger. Although, I think that most of the vox populi agrees with my views.
Remember Remember the 5th of November. What a great November 5th drop!! Great vid as always Vile Eye
hey man love your videos love your new thumbnails they look AMAZING. im gonna give you a villain recomendation if you dont mind Odin from God of War Ragnarok hes definetly one of the more evil charachters i have ever watched i think like morgoth palpatine Amon Goeth level of evil also cant wait for your villain tier list update i really want too see where you place charachters like VIC Mackey or Bill Cipher or even Jack Horner. Hope you read this love the content man Keep it up
This movie is also prophetic as how all governments around the world are acting now
People of every generation have prophesied the downfall of government, yet here we are 🤷♂️
Woth most governments being left leaning. Hmm. Who saw that coming?
Israel
@@kingelijah8049 you mean the scum trying to wipe out Israel?
@@SuperLumianaire Wanna explain that one or are you gunna differ to a Fox News segment of Tucker Carlson telling us how "The Left" is the REAL fascists because... they took away the Green M&M's super sexy heels?
Seriously. What even is this "Left" to you? Most people saying "The Left are the real fascists" can't describe what a Leftist is or what a Fascist is. And in an age of the internet where fascists are fucking everywhere, especially that hellsite Twitter ever since Elon said "Yeah oops all Fascism, might as well get my money back by making this place somehow worse.", how is it the Left that's the real fascistic force of America and other such countries that are stuck in this stupid 2 party system?
"Remember, remember..." Very fine that you covered the graphic novel and not just the film.
I love this movie I'm so glad you are covering it.
AMAZING work as always man! Youre one of the best! And in honor of it's finale please consider covering villains of Attack on Titan! that series is bursting with despicable villains!
Teach people to value life of humans above all else religion history tradition and family. Teach people to help those in need no matter what. Teach people that no matter how hard they may struggle to keep the peace they must not forget to teach the next generation to not grow lazy and not continue to struggle for the same peace.
Not struggling is lazy. If you get what you want the whole planet would be one giant slum. And it would probably still be violent.
You worship the weak because they need YOUR HELP. You subconsciously think you’re better then them.
I was thinking about how cool a video on v would he like a week ago, glad it's here.
This has been my fav one yet ty for coverthis one I really liked it
This movie has become our reality in the UK right now.
The TV series 'Banshee' on Cinemax is a fascinating series upon the analysis of evil and should be considered for a video, one which examines all main characters of that series.
Maaaan i love your channel always the right vid on the right time! Keep it up! :D
You legend! The timing is brilliant.
The Mass Effect franchise is my favorite games of all time, and id love for you to do an in depth look into the Reapers. I think it would make a great video for this. The Analyzing Evil series is awesome, glad youre putting so much love into it. Keep up the great work Vile Eye.
At first I thought Alan Moore was just a spoilsport for hating the adaptations of his works. Then I actually took them in and noticed the messages he conveyed in his writing and characters and realized it would only make sense for him to hate the adaptations. Hollywood is taking these deep, critical, and in some cases prophetic stories and dressing them up with pretty actors and fancy effects to sell them while stepping all over the ideas they're meant to inspire.
And one more brilliant analysis, many thanks, one of my favorite movies, with Rosemary's Baby (thabks for that one too.) love your channel .... "Remember remember the fifth of November... "
V is my spirit animal. An anti hero who barely keeps his morality throughout his revenge... One of the best fictional characters of all time.
“A revolution is not a dinner party, or writing an essay, or painting a picture, or doing embroidery; it cannot be so refined, so leisurely and gentle, so temperate, kind, courteous, restrained and magnanimous. A revolution is an insurrection, an act of violence by which one class overthrows another.”-Mao Tse-tung
Mao was the hypocrite. Destroying the past to make himself a god.
This is a fantastic story and the movie version ended up being pretty good too. Of course my only gripe is that as the way things played out in real life, they got the government responsible in the story backwards but pretty close!
Love your analysis to one of my favorites.
Fantastic work as always. I’d love to see an episode on GLaDOS and Wheatley from the Portal series.
Remember, remember the 5th of November...
I remember first seeing the V for Vendetta movie, and while I do enjoy the movie, the part I always remember is when V introduced himself. The amount of words that begin with the letter "V" in that one speech was mind boggling. I honestly would dread the idea if someone decided to make a drinking game in that first couple of minutes where they take a shot every time V said a word that began with the letter "V".
Yes mee to it gives me chills and giggles I live that part so much
Love**
@@kassykreutzer6972 When rewatching V for Vendetta, I counted at least 49 words in that one speech that began with the letter V. From Viola to V. But if you don't include V asking Evie to call him V, then it was 48 words that began with the letter V.
@@OmnicidalClown1992 danng I never knew that
@@kevinsedwards lol me either lol
I just saw the movie yesterday, thank you!
Great as usual. I would still love a long video exploring Zero Wolf from Apocalypto.
Thank you for covering the Alan Moore comic and not just focusing on the movie. It makes for a much more accurate view and understanding of the Plot and all the influential characters of the story.
One of my favorite movies with one of my favorite actresses Natalie Portman. But Vile again please a video for Nina Meyers of “24” and Jenny Schecter from “The L Word” would be amazing. Two calculating and cold villains that deserve to be part of Analyzing Evil.
Jenny would be so left field. I’d love it too
I think the one you really need to do is Andrew Detmer (Chronicle).
First, it’s a terrible shame the studios and directors couldn’t agree on a sequel because Chronicle is my favorite superhero movie ever.
I think Andrew deserves a place here because he’s basically an ODE to every mass-murderer/ school shooter who’s been eating shit their entire lives and finally SNAPPED.
The concept of the Apex Predator and how Andrew’s powerlessness, trauma, and loss contributed to his slow descent into madness is very similar to Anakin Skywalker’s own tragedy. A good man corrupted by his own incredible power and the evil things people do for love and the moral boundaries we all might cross to save the ones we care about, even at the expense of our own sanity/soul.
I think Chronicle is a masterpiece of a film and one of the best Supervillain origin stories I’ve ever watched and I think Andrew deserves a place here for the evils he’s committed and the deaths he caused.
20:25 I agree with everything except this bit here. Anarchy is not chaos. Anarchy is simply the absence of government. There can still be restrictions of SOME kind, but chaos is total absence of order. These terms are not strictly synonymous with one another. A government can still technically exist within a chaotic society, believe it or not, as long as the government puts absolutely no restrictions to quell the chaos whatsoever.
Releasing this episode in this particular time is pretty clever. Well played.
Hard to believe this is the same guy who played Lord Elrond in LOTR. Btw, could you cover the Other Mother from Coraline?
Speaking of LoTR, it'd be great if Vile covered Sauron after he already covered Morgoth
@@alfalldoot6715in the Morgoth video, he said he'd be covering Sauron soon, but that video still hasn't happened😓

I like that you also analyze the themes of media sometimes
I am so glad you did this film.
You should do Scarecrow from the Batman franchise next, he's underrated in my opinion. As awesome video as always 💙😁🩶.
Which Scarecrow?
Bro you are literally the best content creator on the platform. It’s so hard for me to listen to people when they always give there opinion or ideology to coincide with what they think the characters are. You have a masterful talent to breakdown the facts and the facts alone. You also give your opinion and I like that to but you know how to split the two apart.
There should be an Analyzing Evil episode focused on my entire Rimworld colony.
Good to see this analysis.V for Vendetta is my favourite graphic novel and the movie adaptation is exceptional.
I'd love to see Robert De Niro as Neil McCauley (Heat) in this channel. More an anti-hero than a villain but still... super fascinating ❤
loving the videos!!
I will now give this video a watch every 5th of November
I have awaited this moment with great anticipation... and I'm glad it has arrived
He Remembered, Remembered, to drop it on the 5th of November.
You should totally do Jada next
Topical, and lovely content as always. Well done.
One of my top 3 movies, can't wait to hear this one
I suggest videos on:
Ersnt Stravo Blofeld
Darth Malak
Darth Kreia
The Joker (1989)
Two Face (Batman Forever/The Dark Knight)
Around 21:40 I wonder if it might behoove you to display on-screen the guidelines for which you determine moralistic choices so we can get a better look at the system of how your judgements are made.
Nice to see this comic on this channel thanks for introducing me to this comic I remember seeing the movie I never read the comics.
I love that the novel and book have a complete different feel but both hammer the same point home
This movie is one of my favorite movies of all time
Really sucks compared to the comic
@@dummbobqqqqqwell yeah. Hard to get all of the comic into a 2 1/2 hour movie.
Alan Moore seems to have second sight because his novels always seem to be ahead of their time. V For Vendetta, The Watchmen, there's a reason those books are still relevant today.
Is it "Second Sight" or just the situation playing out exactly the same all over again?
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 fair
Absolutely outstanding video many thanks 😊
Great as always Vile Eye. Thank you.
These new thumbnails are beautiful!
