In my dynasty football league, we always do a random 64-"team" bracket and then vote on the matchups.

Last year we did fast food chains, this year we are doing greatest movie villains.

I am going to seed them, but would like your suggestions on who you think is the greatest.

Give me your 4 #1 seeds.

* NOTE: People like Joker is just one character, doesn't matter if it's Nicholson or Ledger.

One example that was mentioned:
Joker
Emperor Palpatine
Hans Gruber
Thanos

Hannibal Lecter
Darth Vader
The Shark in Jaws
Hans Landa- Inglorious Basterds

I feel this is a list that needs context. Are we talking coolest? Or most hated villains ever? Because there’s a difference. For instance, I loathed the warden in Shawshank and Emperor Commodus in Gladiator but they wouldn’t be a “favorite” villain.

Back to the list
Alonzo Harris- Training Day is a dark horse

I feel like your main horror characters will be high on the list.

Not coolest for sure, so I guess most hated? Or maybe the most popular in pop culture.

I don't really care, I just want to votes to seed these guys/gals.

  • Marty: Naw man it ain't white boy day".

Just throwing it out there but any man that has ever cheated on his wife (not me) would find this a terrifying character.

I dont really agree that Characters can be multiple actors. Like the Joker example, you should have to specify which. Ledger and Nicholson together make him very tough to beat. Just my 2 cents.

I'm going with:

T-1000
Joker (ledger)
Hans Gruber
And probably Darth Vader, just because of how iconic he is.

Honorable mention: Commodus from The Gladiator. Definitely one of the most hated.

Don't overthink this. It's just for 10 guys to have fun during the month of March.
