The Villains You Love

Recommended Posts

The other side of the coin of the "Movie/TV characters you can't stand" thread.

 

Completely despicable, irredeemable, amoral, power hungry, evil characters that you can't help but cheer on and route for!

 

Be it movies, tv or literarature.

 

I'll start things off with all 3 :p

 

Dr. Hannibal Lecter (preferably as portrayed by Anthony Hopkins):

Gotta love a good villain.

 

I'll add the aptly named Al Swearengen from Deadwood:

Cersei Lannister.

 

I know she's incestuous. I know she'd probably kill you after having sex with you. I know she is evil.

 

But DAYUM... she's hot.

When I was a small child I had a big crush on Darth Vadar. I didn't know much about anatomy back then, and I thought he was just wearing badass armour, anyway.

As a teenager, I fell for Sephiroth. He was anatomically correct, as far as I knew (in fact, the creators seemed to imply that he was very well endowed, as you can see from the picture below), so I would say I'd made some progress by my teen years. He was completely crazy, but I suppose his badassery made up for it.

Hans Gruber in DIE HARD cracks me up. His poncey delivery is an absolute hoot. And I think we all wanted to shoot Ellis.

Jaws

 

 

THANK YOU!!! I always felt really bad for the shark in Jaws....poor guy was just doing what nature intended him to do. Damn people should have just stayed out of the water once they knew there was a shark around :(

This will be obscure because this very cool show has just begun its run here in Canada. And for those just starting to watch, this statement will be unfathomable until you've seen it almost all the way to the end of its six-episode first season. But I have huge sympathy for poor Arby/Pietre from Utopia, once you learn the story behind the character:

...and kind of hope he finds his way after the events later in the series. Not so much "cheering on", but "sympathy and understanding".

 

(Here's the show's opening scene, to set the mood for the entire series:

The Sheriff of Nottingham. In every Robin Hood book/movie/whatever I've ever seen, I always end up rooting for him. Alas, he never wins...

 

I don't know why, but it's probably because Robin Hood is usually so nauseatingly nice. And, of course, Alan Rickman was the best of them, although he fact that he had the most horrendous Robin Hood of the lot probably doesn't hurt.

The Wicked Witch of the West. I liked her spunk. And who does not love flying monkeys?

Additional Comments: Besides, green skin is hot.
