"Some roads you shouldn't go down. Because maps used to say there be dragons here, now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there..." - Lorne Malvo
Yup, that was my FAVORITE line of his.
Literally that scene is amazing
One of the best scenes I’ve ever seen in a TV show, not even exaggerating.
@@waynejohnson1786 I agree. The tension and eerie nature of Malvo was something else in that scene. I mean, here you have an armed cop speaking with a skinny man with a goofy bowl cut, and he scares the armed policeman into letting him go with only a few sentences.
@@MacroprosopusTo be fair the cop was kind of a coward at that point in the story.
Malvo was a straight up malevolent, evil, mischievious demon. The emmissarry of the the devil himself. Billy Bob was great in that role.
4:50
4:50
I was literally just thinking this
Reminds me of myself
"No, highly irregular is the time I found a human foot in a toaster oven. This is just odd."
😂😂
"Lester, is this what you want?" One of the coldest moments from any villain I've seen. Billy Bob Thornton did a superb job as Lorne Malvo and he's still the best antagonist of the series by a mile.
I wonder how he would measure up in a fight against Vincent from Collateral?
If either got the jump on each-other it would be curtain's for the other.
"See you later, Lester. See you soon."
I find the killing of the Fargo mafia bit over the top. He alone vs 20+? This felt like bad writing to me.. took away something from his overall great character.
hanzee from season 2 is an amazing written character
@@dirkdiggler5581 To be fair they weren't expecting someone to just walk brazenly into their office with a submachine gun. They probably mostly got by on their fearsome reputation.
That sentence i swear to god made his presence in my soul ever since i ve heard it. Sometimes from time to time i m askin myself same question.
“Lester, have you been a bad boy?”.
That's what she said
I heard it was a Hammering 🔨
Bow chicka bow wow!
I was always faszinated about the fact that Malvo was helping lester multiple times without wanting anything in return or harming him, i think he had some kind of sympathy towards him.
The fact that the name “Lorne Malvo” is literally a play on the word “malevolent” makes his character even more interesting
It's called an anagram!
@@cleoh666it’s not an anagram.
It’s also a play on “Rated TV-(MA) for (L)anguage and (V)i(O)lence.”
@cleoh666 there's no "r" in malevolent therefore not an angram
Damn sure is ! Great show.
I always took the wolves as more metaphorical, like he was abandoned, hungry, then taken in by gangs, criminals, etc.
He saw the parallels in his own life, and crafted his entire personality on wolves.
"Some roads you shouldn't go down. Because maps used to say there be dragons here, now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there..." BEST villain in fargo!Billy throrton was amazing in the role! Loved his performance been waiting for this one!

Why the ai voice though
Everyone making the same comment… What a great community.
*He along with Gus Fring, are my all time favorite villains in any genre. They both are excellent puppet masters*
and Lalo Salaminco
To me, the creepiest moment with the elevator massacre was the little eye twitch that you mentioned. What was creepy was that the facial gesture wasn’t a tic of frustration but instead seemed to be Lorne winking to Lester, like, “Hey, check this out.”
The bigger villain is his barber
his hairstyle is good wdym
Yes! Lorne Malvo is my favourite villain of all time. He’ causes havoc for the sake of chaos, he revels in all the mayhem he causes… With a grin
“A Man like that….he be not even a man”
- Molly Solverson
“He’s a really dangerous-looking fella and had these really scary eyes”
- Gus Grimly
“You have black eyes, you’re trouble” and “Se’īrīm” (Demon in Hebrew)
- Ari Ziskind
Yess!! I recently finished Fargo season 1 and this character sends chills in my spine. Great job Billy Bob Thornton.
I never realized there were so many animalistic references with Lorne Malvo. It's fascinating to consider.
As you touched on in the video, I recall coming across a theory that Lorne is actually a demon. There's even a scene where a Jewish man approaches him for staking out Gus's apartment, and he even refers to Lorne as a demon after their brief conversation. And I recall a comment (which I'm only paraphrasing, as it's been so long) pointing out how it's common in folklore that knowing a demon's true name is a way of defeating them, or at least getting their attention. And right before the "shades of green" riddle, Gus called Lorne out by name, which broke his facade immediately. Those details, and the way he barely flinched and just stared for a moment after being shot, was just so creepy and fascinating in a way that makes him seem like something other than human.
(I forgot to mention the couple scenes where he just seems to disappear from a room too.)
Fargo is such a series, all season have great characters and stories. I love how every season happens in a different time
Season 1 and 2 is so good I couldn’t finish s3 episode one.. It didn’t catch on somehow
@@dirkdiggler5581 Is not as good as the other 2 but I think is still better than a lot of other series
@@dirkdiggler5581 i prefer season 3 over season 2, VM Varga is just such an interesting character, season 2 didnt have any characters that compare in my opinion
@@angeloz5830 I love Nikki Swango
Unexpected Bob Odenkirk at 23:05 :O I did not remember him being in this show.
Also Fargo was so good oh my god
his character was so dopey and he played it incredibly well, i loved him!!!
1st season is incredible but further seasons are just hard for me to get into. 1st one feels like a genuine continuation to the coen brothers movie.
Given all the supernatural stuff in the show, Lorne being raised by wolves isn’t all that unbelievable.
Yes it is, he even says its unbelievable himself. Saying that the jungle book is ridiculous
Don't know if you remember vile but awhile back, I recommended you cover Lorne along with Pietre Carvel from utopia. I'm so glad you finally made a video on Lorne as he is my favorite antagonist of all time.
Maps used to say, "There be dragons here." Now they don't. But that don't mean the dragons aren't there.
I'm so happy to see this one! Lorne Malvo is one of the best characters in recent memory - let alone one of the best villains. Billy Bob Thornton's portrayal is a masterclass. Can't wait to see your analysis!
Edit: I think it's an interesting analysis/take. I'll admit I can't really get onboard with the idea that Malvo was literally raised by wolves. That seems really, really silly to me. I think he's simply a "hollow" man and an agent for death, destruction and chaos. Nobody leaves an interaction with him better for the experience. A truly fascinating and brilliantly written/acted character.
Absolutely one of the most amazing channels on this platform. Cheers.
Yess!!! Fargo is one of my favorite shows ever made, I'm so happy to see this, been waiting for a video about Malvo for a while.
I hope you continue to cover the rest of the show.
Day two asking for Raphael Montero from Mask of Zorro. Stole an enemy’s child, put the hero in prison, accidentally killed hero’s wife, enslaved a population of people, attempted to burn slaves alive.
Such a great character.. he literally gives me chills. Great to see your channel grow Vile! Keep up the good work!
Been waiting for this once for probably close to four years. Super psyched to give it a watch
I think Catherine Trammell would be a nice addition to and overall amazing list, i would like to see too a take on Archibald Cunningham from Rob Roy and "And Then There Were None" characters
Great video as usual
Analyzing Evil: Jenny from Forrest Gump
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
She's not evil just damaged.
Jenayyy
@@EmoBearRights were born evil taught rights and wrongs she's the capture of what every female goes through in life they see no evil they've done
Ooooo. Nice one. Man, I hated her.
Best Fargo villain!
I think hanzee Is better. The one thing I hold against Malvo is the Rambo scene where he solos the Cartell.. that’s just super bad writing and takes the tension and being immersed in the story. Totally over the top.
@dirkdiggler5581 Mt brother in christ the show is a satire. It's supposed to me like that
This is the first time I’m seeing the theory that Lorne was raised by wolves and it actually makes the most sense for some reason. One of my favorite villains in media of all time glad he got his own episode
He wasn’t actually raised by wolves, it’s a fcking metaphor. Morons
What do you get when you cross Anton Chigurh and Tyler Durden? You get Lorne Malvo
While I like the wolf angle, I've always read it that Malvo was raised by awful people. I think along the lines of the very real monster Pedro Lopez and his upbringing of constant horror and abuse then being used to justify the disgusting crimes he committed. He sees people as pretending to be above animals and leans into that logic by being the apex predator wherever he goes. One of my favourite villains of all time. He can't be bargained with because he feeds on chaos and pain
Would love more Fargo villains mate
I almost died in Reno Nevada when I was 13. I was visiting my great aunt during the summer and had borrowed a bike and took off on some bike trail. Ended up getting lost but found my way back to the highway leading back into Reno. I didn't tell my great aunt what actually happened but I was so dehydrated I kept throwing up anything I drank all night. Reno is no joke.
Analysing Evil: Sleepers (1996)
Great choice. I like that movie and book.
@@purepessimist Like Killers of the Flower Moon, the "Evil" is more systemic than singular
Iconic performance in a series with many iconic performances 🤩🔥🔥🔥🔥
This character alone made the Fargo TV show it's own beast
YES! Loved the first fargo video! Been waiting for another one!
yyyyyeeeeeEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!
Lorne is my favorite villain of all time.
I was so surprised the first season had a happy ending. An actual good example of subverting expectations
For whatever I didn't finish Fargo
But this character left an impression on me in the few episodes i watched
I remember the scene where the cop pulls him over
the coen brothers truly have an affinity for crafting together mysterious, psychopathic, yet alluring antagonists. on that note, you should cover the rest of the notable antagonists from the fargo series, or not even so much antagonists but even the morally ambiguous characters in the following seasons.
Nice, I was just thinking the other day "Vile Eye should drop a fargo video" a little after me and the missus finished season 5.
Lorne lives for the chaos.

THANK YOU. i just watched this series like a week ago and i wanted so bad to see him here
I find it interesting you compared him to Chigurh from No Country For Old Men, because I consider the two of them very different characters. Forgive the following mini essay, but your videos always inspire my inner critic.
In the McCarthy novel, Chigurh is a highly symbolic and almost phantom-like character motivated solely by a supernatural drive to act as the literal hand of Fate; less of a man and more of a natural disaster in the shape of a man, bringing the consequences of human beings’ actions to them.
The Cohen Brothers made an ingenious creative decision in the movie adaptation, where such symbolism would inevitably be lost without the prose to explain his existence, and made him a real person who merely _believed_ he was the chosen agent of Fate, but was ultimately a mortal and delusional man. Albeit a hard boiled psychopath and a clinically insane one at that, completely detached from reality apart from where his all-consuming delusions of grandeur met the real world. Chigurh is associated with cars because he considers himself to be an emotionally vacant vehicle of death, as well. He feels nothing other than a singular, highly focused drive to enact what he crazily believes fate has in store for others, something which only he is aware of and for which he was put on earth to make real.
By comparison, Lorne Malvo is much more present, visceral, and grounded. While Chigurh is relentless, unstoppable, and fatalistic, Malvo is much more…human. _Almost_ empathetic, at least by comparison to the ice cold vacuum that is Chigurh. Malvo is sadistic and playful and comprised of the same meat and bones everyone else is, and is well aware of this. He is undeniably different from everyone else mentally, but is vulnerable to the same emotional foibles us normal people are, but expressed in much more predatory ways. If there’s one emotion that I associate with Lorne Malvo, it’s glee. Something which Chigurh seems neurologically incapable of experiencing. Joy, lust, satisfaction, hunger, desire, the capacity and willingness to embody false warmth and get close to people in deeply personal ways, stick his fingers in their wounds and twist them just to see how they flinch.
Chigurh is like a gun; he only has one purpose, which is to definitively end life, or use his potential power to change the course of things. And once his goal is met, he returns to being a cold, hard, yet dormant weapon. He aims carefully and seeks to do the job in a single shot.
Lorne Malvo on the other hand, is like a knife. Something also very dangerous and lethal, but which is seen first as something familiar and banal, and a weapon second. Lorne Malvo lives inside your father’s old pocketknife sheath, or in the butcher’s block on your sunny kitchen counter. He’s not dangerous until he is, and when he is it’s both messy and intimate.
Yesss, I 110% agree
I'd like analyses of other main fargo villains too. hanzee dent, VM varga, etc. especially lester, because his character development is interesting
You should do both Analyzing evil: Tom and Analyzing Evil: Jerry from Tom and Jerry
Are you 4 years old???
I can’t help but see Bad Santa whenever I see Billy Bob Thornton
I absolutely love what you do my man. I find hanzee from season 2 of fargo to be very fascinating as well, hopefully you analyze him. Keep up your great work, scholar of villainy
I'd love to suggest Lorgar Aurelian or Erebus from the Warhammer 40k universe.
Been waiting for this one for a long time. Keep em coming VE.
the lonely road of an abandoned man in wolf's clothing should never be eschewed
Thank you for now covering Lorne Malvo, can not wait to see the other characters like Mike Milligan, the Gerhardt family, VM Varga, Roy Tillman, Lorraine Lyon, the Fadda brothers, Oraetta Mayflower, etc
tbh i think the only other characters worth analysing is maybe mike and hanzee and of course Varga
Mike Milligan is not evil
Analyzing Evil: M. Bison
That was a great one of Lorne Malvo, Billy Bob Thornton did a great job acting as always, Loved it.
Great Video! Malvo was one of those perfect villains, I was genuinely scared for every character he interacted with. Hopefully we'll see a video for Lester soon as well. Watching him become a villain as the show progressed was pretty great
Cant wait for the next tier list with all these new characters
I only recently found your channel and these videos are fantastic. Some of your subjects are familiar to me and even for the ones that aren't, they are still fascinating. So well explained with nice editing that really drives home your analysis.
Amazing performance by Billy Bob Thornton
I think your last theory on the character makes the.most sense. Him been on top of the food chain. He gets bored so he creates future problems for himself to keep himself interested
"Sam Hess?"
"Who wants to know?"
".... 👀◀️▶️
Me. 😬"
The shades of green scene will forever haunt my dreams.
Been waiting for this one...
Fargo S1 was one of the finest series I've seen. The subsequent seasons... not so much. Forget where I dropped it.
S2 is best
On the topic of the Coen brothers, you should consider doing video on private detective Loren visser from blood simple! Might be the second scariest Coen brothers villain
Love the vid as always :)
Been waiting for this one. The cautious/reckless Lorne.
Hope Lester makes the list for his subdued unintended using others villainy. As well as the vampiric complex financial crime cooking offputting V M Varga from the third season.
Finally!!! Been requesting this one for AGES!!!
Okay dude, you missed the scene where he literally made frogs rain from the sky with no explanation. He's either the devil or he's being embodied by the devil full stop.
I think you should do Sicarco next. So many moments that show just gow much evil governments do, and what kind of evil someone is capable of when they give up on themselves
I think his haircut is so weird and he presents himself as so frumpy while working in the Midwest is because he’s reflecting how frumpy he perceives people in that area to be. When he’s jetsetting to Vegas, he looks completely different to better play that role
The most terrifying element of Lorne Malvo is that he wasn't even the worst villain. The things he did were terrible but Lester was a special kind of passive awful.
If you think Lester is more of a danger to you than Malvo is....
@@alittlebitgone Lester was normal and evil. That is infinitely more terrifying than Lorne.
@@alittlebitgone You could know a Lester right now and not even know it. You could be related to one.
I’d love to see more Fargo series videos - there are so many different shades of evil, from the mild and justifiable to the truly evil wolves like Malvo and Varga.
Definitely one of the more evil characters you've covered! Also as a suggestion, could you cover Negan at some point from The Walking Dead (show and comic) ?
billy bob is sensational here
This made me wanna rewatch the series now
I’ve been requesting the a characters since I started watching your channel 4 years ago. I knew you’d make this one eventually and I’m glad that day is today
Whether he was raised by wolves or not is secondary. He thinks of himself as one and all but admits it. He’s taking an alienated Lester under his wing and by the end we see Lester’s transformation into a cold blooded calculated psychopath. Lester is the boy in the parable as much as he is prey.
One of my favorite episodes so far. I do have one small note: I pick up on sentences that end with a preposition.
I understand prescriptive grammar would change, "no matter who it's taken from" into "no matter from whom it's taken."
I waited a long time for this video, so thanks for finally giving it. The secound season could get it own analysis and Varga from season 3 especially would deserve a take.
Just finished watching season one and Malvo is already one of the most threatening characters ive ever seen put to screen
I can’t wait to see this with Harley Quinn. Love this channel! You are a complete whiz with your words, and I expand my vocabulary when I listen to you. Keep up the fantastic content!
There's just something about Fargo villains that hits the spot, both TV and movie. Obviously Lorne steals the show in season one, but we also had some pretty damn fine secondary antagonists in Mr Numbers & Mr Wrench. Fargo in general is known for its excellent character building but it really gets to shine with its darker characters.
What hooked me on this show was Billy Bob Thorton
Lorne makes Thanos look like childsplay

@@joeparrigen4982 I know. But not Tuco and Hector
Would love to see an episode analyzing Thomas Eichorst from The Strain
Great vid on Malvo. Season one of Fargo has to my favorite of the series because of Billy Bob Thornton.
Could you sometime do one on the walking dead villains? Maybe Governor, Negan?
you have to do VM Varga next
another absolute beast of a villain from Fargo
Season 2 doesnt have anyone as strong as Malvo or Varga but instead a smorgasbord of villains with Hanzee Dent, Mike Milligan, and Dodd Gerhardt.
Season 5 has Roy Tillman, who isnt likable like other villains but absolutely detestable, which is unique in Fargo.
I'd love to see an episode on Lancaster Dodd from The Master. He is the most frightening kind of evil. The kind that doesn't seem to be a bad guy. He comes off as a kind father figure and a sage like teacher to many, but beneath the surface he's a manipulative liar who's using everyone around him to his advantage.
PLEASE do one on Chris Partlow from The Wire !!
That’s a great one
Excellent stuff 👍 Would love to see one on Ma-ma from Dredd
Wolves are meant to operate in a pack. For his sadism, Lorne would be torn apart by the very animals he fails to emulate.
hanzee dent next , pleaaaaaaaaase!!!
Lorne Malvo has to be one of the most terrifying villains committed to TV. Billy Bob Thornton was the right person to play him. He has that “don’t turn your back on him, or he’ll slit your throat” energy that’s needed for a character like that.
Looking forward to your essays on the subsequent Fargo series and the villains within it when you get around to it.
Aw heck yeah! You gotta do V M Varga next!
Hey Vile for July I have a suggestion of covering the world of Stray as that game was released during that month and it has really deep themes of oppression, corruption, and how the evils of the past can still affect the future.
The creator/writer/director of the Fargo series(Noah Hawley) made the series “Legion” that has equally impressive characters and has my favorite “bad guys of any” series. Also the same with the Netflix series “Godless”
Lorne Malvo is literally The Devil on earth, so malevolent and threatening... Amazing performance
Who was Lorne Malvo?
A rare breed.
SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU! Thank you so much! Fabulous topic. Please consider True Detective, Season 1, cult. I understand if you can't. Appreciate everything you do. I check everyday and watch constantly.
Would love to see videos on Emet-Selch from FFXIV & the characters & themes of Killer7
