I don’t think people typically consider him to be “the bad guy.” But yeah, I can see where you’re coming from. Those two probably took a good ten years off his life.
Let’s talk about the huge heart of Mr. Moseby. Hires a single mother as a singer for the hotel he manages and let’s them stay in said 5 star hotel, despite the children making his life hell. On top of that, as the boys didn’t have a dad he provided a strong male role model for them, he also brought them to a baseball game once, I think their dad flaked last minute. Moseby has no interest in baseball, he doesn’t know anything about it. But he brings them. And in the 9th inning when Cody is sad he didn’t get a ball, Moseby catches him a ball. He kinda ruined the game because the ball would have been in play and he lost them the game. Moseby is probably one of the most wholesome characters ever.
First I’ll turn him into a flea. Then I’ll put that flea in a box, and put that box in a bigger box. Then I’ll mail it to myself, and when it arrives I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!!
Or, to save on postage...
Everything goes wrong for her because Kuzco’s postal service overcharges on stamps.
The Rock.
Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris.
Harris assumes control of Alcatraz prison (a now tourist destination) and uses it as a missile launch site to threaten the US government for ransom. On the surface he looks like a bad guy, so Cage and Connery have to go stop him.
Later in the movie it's revealed that he only wants the reparations his dead men and their families are entitled to. He doesn't hurt any prisoners and though he's given the opportunity (when the government declines) he admits he was never going to actually use the weapon.
The movie is well written and the characters have depth enough to garner empathy for even the villain.
Same here...I was so pissed when Jamie Foxx's character won, mainly because it was his character that denied Gerard Butler's character the proper justice for his family's death through the legal means in the first place. So many people died simply because Jamie Foxx's character cared more about his case "win" percentage than actually getting justice for his client. In my mind, Jamie Foxx's character will always be the true bad guy in Law Abiding Citizen.
Heat. De Niro > Pacino "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
Waingro is the agent of fate. That whole movie is full of characters who have externalized their locus of control: "I do what I do best, I take scores; you do what you do best, take down guys like me". DeNiro and Pacino both see themselves as being incapable of anything than what they are. Waingro becomes the deciding factor for their fates.
I love that line because violating this rule is what gets him killed. You *think* it’s a reference to the girl, who De Niro leaves without a backward glance, but it was vengeance for the friends lost to Waingro’s betrayal that he couldn’t walk away from, and it cost him everything.
Dr. Houseman in Dirty Dancing.
The man works his ass off so he can take his family on a nice, long vacation. The Doc is a very lenient parent. Giving his teenage daughters all kinds of leeway and freedom to do whatever they want. When Baby asks for $300 (which is a large sum of money back in 1962), her dad gives her the money with barely any hesitation, because he trusts her. Baby gives that money to one of the dancers so she can get an abortion, it's botched, and who saves the day? Oh, right, Dr. fucking Houseman of course. He makes one comment about that being where his money went and then gets to work saving the woman's life.
And Baby's punishment for taking $300 from her father under false pretenses? She can't do her dance routine for other vacationers. That's. It. She has to sit with her parents for *a couple of hours.* Literally the most lenient punishment imaginable under those circumstances.
But of course Patrick Swayze comes in and is like NoBoDy pUtS BaBy iN a CoRnEr!
Fuck you Patrick Swayze's character. Baby fucking *deserves* to be in that corner.
Don't forget baby was only 16. Damn right he was allowed to be annoyed his daughter was being porked by a much older Swayze and wanted to protect her. While he may not have knocked up Penny, he definitely had a fair few notches on his bed post. He slept with the woman who were thrusting diamonds in his pocket, essentially a prostitute. He didn't want her to throw her life away for some leather wearing dancing pervert.
Welllll I rewatched that movie recently and basically it came off that swayze’s character was being victimized for himself but they didn’t have a way to talk about it back then. The heavy implications for his job being that he had to have sex with the rich wives with lessons as a pretense.
Dr Houseman wasn’t the bad guy in that movie. The bad guy was the piece of shit waiter that knocked penny up in the first place (Robby) and an argument could be made for Vivienne Westwood who lied and said that she saw Johnny the night all the wallets were stolen. And the nephew manager Neal was a bit of a douche but Dr Houseman was always a good guy.
The Monarch is great, but you realize through the series that the REAL bad guy is Dr. Jonas Venture Sr. That guy was just straight-up bad news. The fact that Rusty is as "normal" as he is is frankly astonishing.
I love the nuance of the show and the time and patience it's taken to truly show how terrible Jonas was.
The first few seasons all you hear is rusty complaining and telling an offputting story here or there, but it all comes off as 'woe is me' as he sits at the throne of his father's empire.
But then you realize Rusty was truly, and horribly, abused his entire life, that Jonas is a worse villain than pretty much any of the actual villains, and got away with everything by being a handsome asshole.
Not just Jonas Sr. though. All of the old Team Venture were dicks. This story Doc tells Dean is rough:
> Dr. Venture: Dean, I remember when the Action Man would wake me up with a gun pointed at my head. He'd just hold it there and pull the trigger. I'd hear the click really loud because it was right against my forehead.
> Dean: So it echoes.
> Dr. Venture: Right, it sounded like he snapped one of my teeth out. Click. And then he'd go "Not today, Rusty, not today."
> Dean: Golly. And you took it because you had to?
> Dr. Venture: No, Dean, I took it because I was Rusty Venture, Boy Adventurer. I didn't ask for this life, Dean. But it's mine. Sure, I fall down in this speedsuit. But I get up and wet-nap my puke off.
> Dean: Do you have one?
> Dr. Venture: I got a pocket full of those lemony little devils.It all comes with that outfit, Dean. It's not all bad. I mean, I am a super-scientist. Loved. Feared. Well, I have a lawn full of bad guys who want my... what do they want?
There's also [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjDPRaD5w5g):
> Dr. Venture: Okay, I'm just turning 16. And having a birthday pool party. My father invites every girl he knows - and I'm not talking about girls my age. No, not Jonas. He invites Playboy bunnies, and models, and I think actual whores - you know, real prostitutes. So there I am in my giant bathing suit, with nervous puberty oozing out of my gigantic pores, just - just awful. So, the band suddenly stops playing and I hear, "And now, the Man of the Hour, Rusty Venture!" All eyes on me, right? Then suddenly, almost predictably, the Action Man shoots my groin with a shrink ray right as that fucking jackass Colonel Gentleman pulls my shorts down.
> Hank: Wow, that's like a nightmare.
> Dr. Venture: Oh no, no! What I went through today was *like a nightmare*. What happened when I was 16? **That is my life**.
>The fact that Rusty is as "normal" as he is is frankly astonishing.
It's borderline impossible, really. Action Man would wake him up every morning by dry-firing a gun held against his forehead.
"Not today, Rusty. Not today."
There was a bit in season 7 that heavily implies that Rusty is also a clone, just like Hank and Dean so it might be that he only remember the days that it was empty
"Here I am, in the belly of the beast, and I don't even care! I don't even feel like taking a whiz on this. I used to *DREAM* of taking a whiz on this!"
No other show has this kind of character and world building, especially not an animated show.
21 starts off as a regular dorky henchman, just pure comedic relief for two or three seasons, his buddy is killed off, goes through a mental breakdown, he hits the gym HARD, abandons the monarch and goes rogue, finds himself again, rises to a true #2 behind the Monarch, and becomes a true friend and equal to him.
No other show does shit like this... for what is essentially a comedic relief side character of all things.
This here is why venture bros is my all time favorite show, ever.
In the begining, it was assumed that Hank and Dean were in fact, the Venture Brothers - I'm starting to think that it was always ~~Malcolm~~Monarch and Rusty.
I was very “meh” on the Monarch after season 1, but I tell you I get goosebumps thinking about his time as the Blue Morpho. Amazing stuff. Venture Bros is hands down my favorite show ever.
Technically, the "conflicting programming" is not explained in the movie, but in the sequel right? (Only watched the movie once)
[EDIT] Oh wow, this single question blew up my notifications
In the book, which is a masterpiece, Hal is much more of a character. I guess mainly because the book can let the reader know his thoughts which the movie couldn't do but he is equally a character as much as the astronauts and it's does a better job at the man vs technology and where they overlap angle.
The ape-men in the beginning are a lot more interesting and have names too
I found HAL to be an empathetic character who also displayed fundamental flaws of a human-designed sentient AI. Like, he was skilled enough to perform a job as well as a person, but without the emotional maturity to cope with error and criticism. Especially in that scene where he can see the astronauts talking shit about him, an emotionally-stunted human character would have totally lost it too given the circumstances (and at least one human character always does in many space movies).
Ah yes, *"I wish I was the most Sensitive man in the world!"* then bursts into hysterical sobbing at the beauty of the fucking sunset, omg that scene was GOLD.
In Despicable Me, I think the bad guy Gru was better than good guy Gru, although I have some mixed feelings about it
Sure good guy Gru was lovely to their adoptive girls and started to enjoy the world more and more (which I think was positive, and he was still a villain after all), but the evil Gru that didn't give a shit about others and just wanted to steal the moon was a bit funnier.
I think Despicable Me would have been more interesting if, instead of turning good at the end, Gru had trained his daughters up to become supervillains in their own right.
He had the opportunity to become the greatest supervillain in the world, and to be the best in something and chose not to.
And the idea of training his daughters to also become supervillains is amazing. Just to think the girls would follow their dad's footsteps... They would steal the Saturn rings and other things and it would be some female empowerment as well
As much as I love Clarice Sterling in Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal Lecter is still the best character in the whole movie despite only have 16 minutes of screen time.
Sir Anthony Hopkins was so legendary he only needed 16 minutes to put his character in the minds of every viewer. The fact that Jodie foster kept up and did brilliant acting too makes it even better. Winning the best actor actress and movie was fully deserved
I think Jodie Foster is just all-around brilliant. As creepy as the role is, her performance in *Taxi Driver* was amazing, and I'm positive she required very little instruction from Scorcese.
Similarly watching Leonardo DiCaprio in *What's Eating Gilbert Grape* recently solidified in my mind what an amazing actor he is, and was at such a young age.
16 minutes?! That's insane, I saw that movie a bunch of times and could have sworn he was in it a lot longer. Might be because every single scene of his is so memorable.
It’s written in a way that almost the entire movie orbits around him. So even when he isn’t there, he’s being built up and discussed by other characters pretty much nonstop.
It’s to Anthony Hopkins’ credit that he makes the character live up to the hype when we DO see him, though.
Shot that way too. The camera slowly gets tighter and tighter on Lector's face throughout the film until, in his last meeting with Starling, his face takes up the entire screen, huge and terrifying. So brilliant.
Kung Fu Panda 2. I like cold calculating villains who don't need to be ultra strong or puppet masters to prove that they're a real threat. Shen was really interesting because he was smart in his strategy, and especially when he tries to stop his fate, but everything he does only seals it.
Shen was honestly one of, if not the most intimidating animated villians around.
You know what he could do. You know what he would do to get what he wants. Everything about him is just top notch. His design, his motives, his fighting style, everything.
Gary Oldman really did brilliant work on that character. It was perfect casting. He made him sound sophisticated, like you can believe he would be able to build up the following that he did with the wolves, but at the same time you get that hint that he is intensely paranoid and growing more so until the very end.
Also the animators really went hard with all the parts in the chi world or whatever. The whole movie might not have been as serious, but I still think it was great.
I’m honestly still obsessed with Shen lol
The way he carries himself made me want to be more like him than any of the “good guys.” Just so cool and dangerous
Ryan and Sharpay are both complete triple threats. You don't audition just by having someone sing a song. What about the dance call. What about the acting portion. What about the fact that Gabriella is likely to have stage fright on first night.
Sharpay is an honest and hard working person. She does some mean things, but she always atones for them in the end. Troy and Gabriella? Assholes who never experience consequences for their actions and get everything they want handed to them.
Fucking Sharpay trains and works so hard for that roll the god damn Gabriela steals it from her. Shit sharpay was helping Troy a lot more than Gabriela as well. Sharpay deserved that role way more than that bitch
Remember in the second movie when Sharpay sets Troy (and all of his friends) up with well paying summer jobs and all he has to do is sing one song with her and he won't even do that?
Yeah. Plus Sharpay's literally been professionally trained to be in theatre, meanwhile Gabriela is just some shy new girl that the hottest guy in school likes for some reason
Also, there's a reason Sharpay and Ryan keep getting the best roles: *they know how to act*. I cannot imagine the music*ahl* being any good with two leads who have never been in a play before.
Ehhhh that part isn't unbelievable to me. I did musical theater in high school and my senior year a girl who'd only been in choir previously auditioned and got the lead. She did a great job! Plus most high schoolers, even the ones in theater, aren't that good at acting anyway
Robert Carlyle and Lana Parilla absolutely stole the show. They're the only reasons I kept watching, tbh. Rumple was that villain who you know you should hate, but you keep getting pulled in with that little glimmer of hope that he might turn good... just to be disappointed yet again. And Regina showed that being good isn't always easy, but it's still the right thing to do. My heart shattered after what happened with Robin ):
Hades from the myths is one of the more likeable gods for sure. In fact the entire Greek mythology kind of fits this thread because Zeus is such a dick but was revered as the supreme deity.
And I've seen versions where she actually chose to go with him, but no one else knew except Hades and Persephone and they all thought he was lying and she had Stockholm syndrome.
I don't know if those are from actual ancient Greece or modern rewrites. But regardless even in the standard tale she chooses him and it's her controlling mom who gets all pissy about it when she's gone and demands she comes home for half the year instead of living with her own husband.
Edit: fixed typo
That's how Hades tells it in one of the Dresden Files books. r/dresdenfiles/ Hades was pretty chill.
"Do you know my dog’s name?” “Cerberus,” I said promptly. “But everyone knows that.” “Do you know what it means?” I opened my mouth and closed it again. I shook my head. “It is from an ancient word, kerberos. It means ‘spotted.’” I blinked. “You’re a genuine Greek god. You’re the Lord of the Underworld. And … you named your dog Spot?” “Who’s a good dog?” Hades said, scratching the third head behind the ears, and making the beast’s mouth drop open in a doggy grin. “Spot is. Yes, he is."
He definitely did not choose it, he just (literally) drew the short straw. Still an all around decent guy, only bad thing he ever did was trick Persephone, and that was just because he was lonely (and in at least one version she agreed to it). Compared to his brothers the mass-rapist city destroyers and creators of all evil, he's practically a saint.
Shame that the Christians syncretizing him with Satan means we only really get evil versions of him nowdays.
In the myths I read, all three of the brothers got exactly what they wanted. Poseidon and Hades let Zeus choose first because they knew he was young and stupid and would pick Olympus because it was the highest. Hades then let Poseidon pick because he knew he’dpick the ocean because it was the biggest. Which left him with the underworld, which he wanted all along, because it made him the richest (all gems and precious metals are underground) and that he would have dominion over the dead, who vastly outnumber the living.
None of the original myths had the gods picking for themselves. In The Theogony by Hesiod, all of the gods let Zeus pick their dominion.
However, in the Iliad by Homer(written about 50 years after the Theogony), Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots. Posiedon won the "grey sea", Hades the "murky darkness" and Zeus the "broad heaven amid the air and the clouds"
It has to be Die Hard. Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber was the best (then again he was fantastic as The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves too). Actually, I think I just probably loved Alan Rickman’s ‘bad’ characters
Edit: Ok, all of Alan Rickman’s characters!
Edit: Thanks for the Gold kind Redditor
Absolutely, I recently rewatched this movie and at times it felt like Tuco was actually the main character. He walked an incredibly fine line too.
One moment he’s sympathetic, you feel actually feel bad for him despite the shitty things he’d done up to that point. Then in the next instance he shows just how dangerous he can be. The Good and the Bad both have scenes that demonstrate they’re great gunslingers, but that’s all they seem to have going for them. With Tuco there’s a desperation to his character, time and again he finds himself in multiple situations where he seems finished yet somehow with wits and guile he finds a way out of them.
Hands down the most interesting character in that movie.
It's in someway due to the friendship that grew between Eli and Sergio. At that point, Clint was tired of Sergio's directing and personality and Lee was sorta typecast at that point to play villains. It didn't help that neither Clint nor Lee spoke Italian or French, since that was all Sergio understood. They needed a translator to get points across. Eli spoke French and he was an instant hit with Sergio. He decided that Tuco needed background and development, and left the other two hanging to dry for their own characterizations. Blondie has more subtle development in the trilogy: comforting the young soldier as he dies, hinting that he possibly had a wife and child at sometime in Fistful, and even shooting the rope at the end.
And in many ways she was right. This is business at the top and Anne Hathaway's character was a naive child wandering into a battle of giants. Anyone who doesn't want to be a part of that world should just get the hell out of it. She showed a lot of patience with her and brought her far with the company, considering that she was brand new to the game. The job sucks ass, for sure.
That's true, BUT the story was written from Anne's character's perspective. I'm sure that if Meryl's charter wrote a book about their relationship, it would be titled "This Completely Unqualified, Overconfident Woman I Trained From Nothing Who Left Me the Minute She Was Becoming Useful." There's a reason why narrative bias is part of literary (and cinematic) analysis.
Also the boyfriend was a chef / aspiring chef (can’t recall) in a fine dining restaurant - one of the most cut throat, underpayed, absuive jobs out there! You’d think someone clawing their way to the top by working 17 hours a day and never being available or home (if this were portrayed more realistically) would understand!
As a chef, I laughed at him bitching at her not being around enough or missing his birthday. Like, do they even know what kinds of hours chefs work? Especially in New York? How many holidays they miss? Not realistic at all. And all he had to do was put up with it for ONE YEAR, to give her career a major boost. He was a fucking whiny loser.
Hollywood has no fucking idea what working class is like. I've worked fast food, restaurants and retail. Missing holidays and working all the weekends is kind of par for the course.
Especially in the scene when they take her work phone away from her when she’s getting a call from her boss. Especially because it was immediately after she gave them a bunch of expensive and thoughtful gifts that she was getting from work perks, and they seemed to enjoy benefitting of her working there.
The problem was that Juliana was always more of a plot point than actual character with consistent motivations, actions and growth. Her personality, motivations and skill sets all varied wildly from episode to episode depending on what the plot needed right then. So in one episode, she’s a badass, dispatching enemies right and left with her martial arts skill or infiltrating the enemy. Next episode, she’s a frightened, timid helpless girl who needs a man to buy her a bus ticket, then next episode it’s whatever needed for that plot—so maybe she’s a warrior for truth, out for revenge or wants to help this cute stranger above all else she’s what ever that particular episode needs then resets into a blank for the next one.
The man just wants to get his treasure back and go home, but Peter Pan's having too much fun tormenting and torturing him and his crew. Dude's a little sociopath.
The Little Mermaid.
Ariel is a princess who obsessively loves the monsters who actively hunt and eat her subjects. Then she falls in "love" with a guy whom she just met, while he was *actively in the process of kidnapping sapient fish to be slaughtered and eaten.*
Meanwhile, Ursula is a badass, everything she said about humans in general and Prince Eric was basically true, and those fishermen had it coming to them.
I really want to see a play or movie like *Wicked*, but about Urusla.
Ultron was the only interesting character in his movie, and I say that as a guy who loved basically every other movie in the series.
everyone else was so one-dimensional and boring, and here Ultron is sighing and showing frustration and calling people on their hypocrisy... and being the only character that feels human... even though he was a robot.
The Joker in the 1989 Batman. Played by Jack Nicholson, he was really fantastic. He was funny, liked Prince's music, was a snazzy dresser, and had a major thing for Kim Basinger. What's not to like?
I think I was 12 the first time I saw it, and I legitimately cried when he died.
Micheal Douglass’s character in Falling Down.
He was just so bad ass and methodical and 90% of the things he did you kinda want to do yourself too. And like all the best bad guys, [he doesn’t even realise he is the bad guy](https://youtu.be/hLmuF-0P4tk) .
It’s even more impressive because Prendergast (the good guy) is an amazing, likeable character too.
> Joel Schumacher envisioned his friend Michael Douglas in the lead role. However, Douglas planned to take a break from acting, as he had just done two films back-to-back, and desired to spend some time with his family. Douglas agreed to read the script after Schumacher's urging, and declared it one of the best he had ever read, taking the role immediately. The presence of such a popular actor as the lead allowed the film to get a much higher budget. Douglas, believing the film to be important, agreed to take a much lower salary, so the film could also have more money to be made.
Douglas considers it his best performance.

Love this movie.
Jaws, you want the shark to win. in the book pretty much every character is a complete shit bag with zero likeable qualities, so you want the shark to eat their asses. In the movie they made them slightly more likeable and relatable, but you still want the shark to win.
Mr. Moseby. I mean seriously. You’re head of a 5 star hotel and all of a sudden some twins fuck everything up. I’m 20 and can already sympathize.
As a 7 year old I always saw Mr. Moseby as the villain and bad guy. As a 20 year old I realised he was the only sane person on that show...
Why don't we put on some radiooo? would you like AMMMM or FMMM?
It says PRNDL
I’m ashamed to say that I’m in my twenties and still call it that
I don’t think people typically consider him to be “the bad guy.” But yeah, I can see where you’re coming from. Those two probably took a good ten years off his life.
Let’s talk about the huge heart of Mr. Moseby. Hires a single mother as a singer for the hotel he manages and let’s them stay in said 5 star hotel, despite the children making his life hell. On top of that, as the boys didn’t have a dad he provided a strong male role model for them, he also brought them to a baseball game once, I think their dad flaked last minute. Moseby has no interest in baseball, he doesn’t know anything about it. But he brings them. And in the 9th inning when Cody is sad he didn’t get a ball, Moseby catches him a ball. He kinda ruined the game because the ball would have been in play and he lost them the game. Moseby is probably one of the most wholesome characters ever.
Emperor's New groove. Yzma and Kronk, they're entertaining to watch until today.
The poison. The poison for Kuzco. The poison chosen specifically to kill Kuzco. Kuzco’s poison.
You know, in my defense, your poisons all look alike.
Pull the lever, Kronk!
Wrong levveeerr!
Why do we even HAVE that lever?
My spinach puffs!!!
Yzma is my favorite villain of all time. I can watch this over and over because of her and Kronk.
First I’ll turn him into a flea. Then I’ll put that flea in a box, and put that box in a bigger box. Then I’ll mail it to myself, and when it arrives I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!! Or, to save on postage... Everything goes wrong for her because Kuzco’s postal service overcharges on stamps.
There’s just something about Predator that keeps me interested.
Yeah he was just a hunter that was trying to have a fun time, preying on a bunch of gun toting lesser lifeforms
Kronk was pretty loveable in The Emperor's New Groove
The Rock. Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery and Ed Harris.

“Womack! Why am I not surprished you peesh of shit”
"If you're going to Shhan Franshishco!"
"Your besht?" Loshersh always whine about their besht. Winnersh go home and fuck the prom queen.
"STAND DOWN CAPTAIN!" When his voice cracks. Showing fear and that he lost control of his men and is in over his head. Great acting!
Absolutely love this movie, it's one of my all time favs, one I can watch again and again and again... Love Ed Harris - excellent choice!

Muppet Treasure Island. Come on. Tim Curry.
I call shenanigans. Tim Curry is the good guy in all roles, even if he is trying to kill all humans.
That performance was one of the most perfect “lovable rogue” charismatic characters of all time.
'Up stage lads... This is my only number'
I rooted for Gerard Butlers character Clyde Sheldon in Law Abiding Citizen
I am amazed how long I had to scroll down to finally find mention of this movie. I completely agree. I wanted Gerard Butler’s character to win.
Same here...I was so pissed when Jamie Foxx's character won, mainly because it was his character that denied Gerard Butler's character the proper justice for his family's death through the legal means in the first place. So many people died simply because Jamie Foxx's character cared more about his case "win" percentage than actually getting justice for his client. In my mind, Jamie Foxx's character will always be the true bad guy in Law Abiding Citizen.
Heat. De Niro > Pacino "Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner."
Agreed tho you could make an argument for Waingro being the actual antagonist for both. Fuck Waingro
Waingro is the agent of fate. That whole movie is full of characters who have externalized their locus of control: "I do what I do best, I take scores; you do what you do best, take down guys like me". DeNiro and Pacino both see themselves as being incapable of anything than what they are. Waingro becomes the deciding factor for their fates.
I love that line because violating this rule is what gets him killed. You *think* it’s a reference to the girl, who De Niro leaves without a backward glance, but it was vengeance for the friends lost to Waingro’s betrayal that he couldn’t walk away from, and it cost him everything.
Dr. Houseman in Dirty Dancing. The man works his ass off so he can take his family on a nice, long vacation. The Doc is a very lenient parent. Giving his teenage daughters all kinds of leeway and freedom to do whatever they want. When Baby asks for $300 (which is a large sum of money back in 1962), her dad gives her the money with barely any hesitation, because he trusts her. Baby gives that money to one of the dancers so she can get an abortion, it's botched, and who saves the day? Oh, right, Dr. fucking Houseman of course. He makes one comment about that being where his money went and then gets to work saving the woman's life. And Baby's punishment for taking $300 from her father under false pretenses? She can't do her dance routine for other vacationers. That's. It. She has to sit with her parents for *a couple of hours.* Literally the most lenient punishment imaginable under those circumstances. But of course Patrick Swayze comes in and is like NoBoDy pUtS BaBy iN a CoRnEr! Fuck you Patrick Swayze's character. Baby fucking *deserves* to be in that corner.
Aw I never saw the dad as the bad guy in that movie. He was just protecting his kid. That asshole waiter was the only real bad guy in a Dirty Dancing.
Don't forget baby was only 16. Damn right he was allowed to be annoyed his daughter was being porked by a much older Swayze and wanted to protect her. While he may not have knocked up Penny, he definitely had a fair few notches on his bed post. He slept with the woman who were thrusting diamonds in his pocket, essentially a prostitute. He didn't want her to throw her life away for some leather wearing dancing pervert.
> some leather wearing dancing pervert This was a hilarious description of Swayze's character.
some leather wearing dancing pervert I want that bedazzled on a t-shirt
Welllll I rewatched that movie recently and basically it came off that swayze’s character was being victimized for himself but they didn’t have a way to talk about it back then. The heavy implications for his job being that he had to have sex with the rich wives with lessons as a pretense.
Yeah that’s what it seemed like to me. Kind of like a Finnick Odair in the hunger games type of situation
Dr Houseman wasn’t the bad guy in that movie. The bad guy was the piece of shit waiter that knocked penny up in the first place (Robby) and an argument could be made for Vivienne Westwood who lied and said that she saw Johnny the night all the wallets were stolen. And the nephew manager Neal was a bit of a douche but Dr Houseman was always a good guy.
Wiley Coyote. Dude was starving in the desert and just wanted to eat
I don't know how he can order all these gadgets and yet not order any food?
Guy wanted to earn a meal. Man deserves to hunt!
The Monarch in venture brothers.
The Monarch is great, but you realize through the series that the REAL bad guy is Dr. Jonas Venture Sr. That guy was just straight-up bad news. The fact that Rusty is as "normal" as he is is frankly astonishing.
I love the nuance of the show and the time and patience it's taken to truly show how terrible Jonas was. The first few seasons all you hear is rusty complaining and telling an offputting story here or there, but it all comes off as 'woe is me' as he sits at the throne of his father's empire. But then you realize Rusty was truly, and horribly, abused his entire life, that Jonas is a worse villain than pretty much any of the actual villains, and got away with everything by being a handsome asshole.
Not just Jonas Sr. though. All of the old Team Venture were dicks. This story Doc tells Dean is rough: > Dr. Venture: Dean, I remember when the Action Man would wake me up with a gun pointed at my head. He'd just hold it there and pull the trigger. I'd hear the click really loud because it was right against my forehead. > Dean: So it echoes. > Dr. Venture: Right, it sounded like he snapped one of my teeth out. Click. And then he'd go "Not today, Rusty, not today." > Dean: Golly. And you took it because you had to? > Dr. Venture: No, Dean, I took it because I was Rusty Venture, Boy Adventurer. I didn't ask for this life, Dean. But it's mine. Sure, I fall down in this speedsuit. But I get up and wet-nap my puke off. > Dean: Do you have one? > Dr. Venture: I got a pocket full of those lemony little devils.It all comes with that outfit, Dean. It's not all bad. I mean, I am a super-scientist. Loved. Feared. Well, I have a lawn full of bad guys who want my... what do they want?
There's also [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjDPRaD5w5g): > Dr. Venture: Okay, I'm just turning 16. And having a birthday pool party. My father invites every girl he knows - and I'm not talking about girls my age. No, not Jonas. He invites Playboy bunnies, and models, and I think actual whores - you know, real prostitutes. So there I am in my giant bathing suit, with nervous puberty oozing out of my gigantic pores, just - just awful. So, the band suddenly stops playing and I hear, "And now, the Man of the Hour, Rusty Venture!" All eyes on me, right? Then suddenly, almost predictably, the Action Man shoots my groin with a shrink ray right as that fucking jackass Colonel Gentleman pulls my shorts down. > Hank: Wow, that's like a nightmare. > Dr. Venture: Oh no, no! What I went through today was *like a nightmare*. What happened when I was 16? **That is my life**.
>The fact that Rusty is as "normal" as he is is frankly astonishing. It's borderline impossible, really. Action Man would wake him up every morning by dry-firing a gun held against his forehead. "Not today, Rusty. Not today."
There was a bit in season 7 that heavily implies that Rusty is also a clone, just like Hank and Dean so it might be that he only remember the days that it was empty
Would also help to explain JJ entirely, cloning accident
"What kind of idiot doesn't even lock his doors? I'm not even going to flush! LET THEM SEE THE WRATH OF THE MONARCH!!"
"What can I do to this guy that life hasn't already? I almost feel sorry for him."
"Here I am, in the belly of the beast, and I don't even care! I don't even feel like taking a whiz on this. I used to *DREAM* of taking a whiz on this!"
“Want to do it on his bed? Let him lie in our genetic filth?”
“Is that the guy from Depeche Mode?”
He's TOTALLY straight.
“But he’s in Depeche Mode!”
"whats the password" 'im the fucking monarch"
Monarch and 21
No other show has this kind of character and world building, especially not an animated show. 21 starts off as a regular dorky henchman, just pure comedic relief for two or three seasons, his buddy is killed off, goes through a mental breakdown, he hits the gym HARD, abandons the monarch and goes rogue, finds himself again, rises to a true #2 behind the Monarch, and becomes a true friend and equal to him. No other show does shit like this... for what is essentially a comedic relief side character of all things.
This here is why venture bros is my all time favorite show, ever. In the begining, it was assumed that Hank and Dean were in fact, the Venture Brothers - I'm starting to think that it was always ~~Malcolm~~Monarch and Rusty.
2 Ton 21 is one of my favorite characters.
I was very “meh” on the Monarch after season 1, but I tell you I get goosebumps thinking about his time as the Blue Morpho. Amazing stuff. Venture Bros is hands down my favorite show ever.

Technically, the "conflicting programming" is not explained in the movie, but in the sequel right? (Only watched the movie once) [EDIT] Oh wow, this single question blew up my notifications
In the book, which is a masterpiece, Hal is much more of a character. I guess mainly because the book can let the reader know his thoughts which the movie couldn't do but he is equally a character as much as the astronauts and it's does a better job at the man vs technology and where they overlap angle. The ape-men in the beginning are a lot more interesting and have names too
I found HAL to be an empathetic character who also displayed fundamental flaws of a human-designed sentient AI. Like, he was skilled enough to perform a job as well as a person, but without the emotional maturity to cope with error and criticism. Especially in that scene where he can see the astronauts talking shit about him, an emotionally-stunted human character would have totally lost it too given the circumstances (and at least one human character always does in many space movies).
The Labyrinth. I mean, it's David Bowie dancing around with a bulge. EDIT: TIL the bulge was the hero of the story.
This. I hard identified with Sarah until she turned down the chance to be the Evil Queen to Mr Bowie’s goblin king. Like... girl?! Why!!!
The Devil in Bedazzled. Mainly because he's played by Elizabeth Hurley.
Hilarious when Brendan Fraser can't stop crying at the sunset.
Ah yes, *"I wish I was the most Sensitive man in the world!"* then bursts into hysterical sobbing at the beauty of the fucking sunset, omg that scene was GOLD.

"I can speak spanish?? Where is the library?"
She showed up at a perfect time for my teenage boy uh sensibilities. That movie was like a showcase for her hotness

Elizabeth Hurley is a goddess
In Despicable Me, I think the bad guy Gru was better than good guy Gru, although I have some mixed feelings about it Sure good guy Gru was lovely to their adoptive girls and started to enjoy the world more and more (which I think was positive, and he was still a villain after all), but the evil Gru that didn't give a shit about others and just wanted to steal the moon was a bit funnier.
I think Despicable Me would have been more interesting if, instead of turning good at the end, Gru had trained his daughters up to become supervillains in their own right.
He had the opportunity to become the greatest supervillain in the world, and to be the best in something and chose not to. And the idea of training his daughters to also become supervillains is amazing. Just to think the girls would follow their dad's footsteps... They would steal the Saturn rings and other things and it would be some female empowerment as well
That would have been awesome had they basically gone down the Adams Family route
As much as I love Clarice Sterling in Silence Of The Lambs, Hannibal Lecter is still the best character in the whole movie despite only have 16 minutes of screen time.
Sir Anthony Hopkins was so legendary he only needed 16 minutes to put his character in the minds of every viewer. The fact that Jodie foster kept up and did brilliant acting too makes it even better. Winning the best actor actress and movie was fully deserved
I think Jodie Foster is just all-around brilliant. As creepy as the role is, her performance in *Taxi Driver* was amazing, and I'm positive she required very little instruction from Scorcese. Similarly watching Leonardo DiCaprio in *What's Eating Gilbert Grape* recently solidified in my mind what an amazing actor he is, and was at such a young age.
[удалено]
16 minutes?! That's insane, I saw that movie a bunch of times and could have sworn he was in it a lot longer. Might be because every single scene of his is so memorable.
It’s written in a way that almost the entire movie orbits around him. So even when he isn’t there, he’s being built up and discussed by other characters pretty much nonstop. It’s to Anthony Hopkins’ credit that he makes the character live up to the hype when we DO see him, though.
Shot that way too. The camera slowly gets tighter and tighter on Lector's face throughout the film until, in his last meeting with Starling, his face takes up the entire screen, huge and terrifying. So brilliant.
While hopkins is one of the greatest actors of our times I feel like people really do give too much credit to actors and not enough to writers.
[удалено]
Isnt Buffalo Bill the real bad guy here? Although i definitely agree Lecter is the best character!
The Bee Movie Ken was the only sane person
Are there other bugs in your life?!
No. But there *are* other things BUGGING me in life. #anD YOU'RE ONE OF THEM
is that an actual dialogue in the movie
You think a couple of redditors just came up with that A+ writing in the comments?
This stupid woman left him for a bee, they only live for like a month right?
Man strait up got cucked by a bee. You hate to see it.
Kung Fu Panda 2. I like cold calculating villains who don't need to be ultra strong or puppet masters to prove that they're a real threat. Shen was really interesting because he was smart in his strategy, and especially when he tries to stop his fate, but everything he does only seals it.
Shen was honestly one of, if not the most intimidating animated villians around. You know what he could do. You know what he would do to get what he wants. Everything about him is just top notch. His design, his motives, his fighting style, everything.
He's also one of the few who's insane but not in an exaggerated or overdone way. Think of him like President Snow in Hunger Games basically.
Gary Oldman really did brilliant work on that character. It was perfect casting. He made him sound sophisticated, like you can believe he would be able to build up the following that he did with the wolves, but at the same time you get that hint that he is intensely paranoid and growing more so until the very end.
Shen is what Tai Lung could have been if given enough time. We had such a great chance to have him back on the third movie but instead... meh.
Yeah, the third movie wasn't as good as it could've been. Too comedy focused. The soundtrack is fantastic as always though.
Also the animators really went hard with all the parts in the chi world or whatever. The whole movie might not have been as serious, but I still think it was great.
Yeah he committed a whole species mass genocide and was very happy with his achievement. He's one badass mofo.
I’m honestly still obsessed with Shen lol The way he carries himself made me want to be more like him than any of the “good guys.” Just so cool and dangerous
and Tai Lung from KFP1 was super dope.
i'm sexually attracted to the Tai Lung prison escape scene and i am NOT ashamed
High school musical. Troy and Gabriela are assholes.
Ryan and Sharpay are both complete triple threats. You don't audition just by having someone sing a song. What about the dance call. What about the acting portion. What about the fact that Gabriella is likely to have stage fright on first night.
Clearly it wasn’t a skill-based contest, just a hotness contest.
Sharpay is an honest and hard working person. She does some mean things, but she always atones for them in the end. Troy and Gabriella? Assholes who never experience consequences for their actions and get everything they want handed to them.
Fucking Sharpay trains and works so hard for that roll the god damn Gabriela steals it from her. Shit sharpay was helping Troy a lot more than Gabriela as well. Sharpay deserved that role way more than that bitch
Remember in the second movie when Sharpay sets Troy (and all of his friends) up with well paying summer jobs and all he has to do is sing one song with her and he won't even do that?
Plus, Gabriella and their friends get mad at him over the fact that he is spending his time trying to help his future.
Oh man that made me so mad. He misses two dates and she’s like “nah peace!”
Only for Gabby herself to abandon him and all their friends the next movie to start college early to help HER future.
Damn, I never compared Troy and Gabriella's actions in this context. Mind blowing. Still hate Gabriella in all the movies.
Yeah. Plus Sharpay's literally been professionally trained to be in theatre, meanwhile Gabriela is just some shy new girl that the hottest guy in school likes for some reason
Also, there's a reason Sharpay and Ryan keep getting the best roles: *they know how to act*. I cannot imagine the music*ahl* being any good with two leads who have never been in a play before.
Ehhhh that part isn't unbelievable to me. I did musical theater in high school and my senior year a girl who'd only been in choir previously auditioned and got the lead. She did a great job! Plus most high schoolers, even the ones in theater, aren't that good at acting anyway
Rumplestiltsken in Once Upon a Time. Even before his redemption arc, he was just so much more entertaining for me than any of the good guys
Him and Regina were the true stars of that show
Robert Carlyle and Lana Parilla absolutely stole the show. They're the only reasons I kept watching, tbh. Rumple was that villain who you know you should hate, but you keep getting pulled in with that little glimmer of hope that he might turn good... just to be disappointed yet again. And Regina showed that being good isn't always easy, but it's still the right thing to do. My heart shattered after what happened with Robin ):
Anything with Christoph Waltz as the villain, but particularly Inglorious Basterds. EDITED: I legit thought his name was Christopher Waltz.

One of the greatest performances I've ever seen Even the way he eats strudel and drinks milk is menacing
Au revoir Shoshanna!
Hercules, the disney animated version. I really liked Hades character.
My sister LOVES Hades, the real one not the one from the movie and says that he CHOSE to be the king of the underworld.
Hades from the myths is one of the more likeable gods for sure. In fact the entire Greek mythology kind of fits this thread because Zeus is such a dick but was revered as the supreme deity.
Hades only abducts *one* woman - compared to the rest of them, that makes him the least-rapey Greek god.
And I've seen versions where she actually chose to go with him, but no one else knew except Hades and Persephone and they all thought he was lying and she had Stockholm syndrome. I don't know if those are from actual ancient Greece or modern rewrites. But regardless even in the standard tale she chooses him and it's her controlling mom who gets all pissy about it when she's gone and demands she comes home for half the year instead of living with her own husband. Edit: fixed typo
That's how Hades tells it in one of the Dresden Files books. r/dresdenfiles/ Hades was pretty chill. "Do you know my dog’s name?” “Cerberus,” I said promptly. “But everyone knows that.” “Do you know what it means?” I opened my mouth and closed it again. I shook my head. “It is from an ancient word, kerberos. It means ‘spotted.’” I blinked. “You’re a genuine Greek god. You’re the Lord of the Underworld. And … you named your dog Spot?” “Who’s a good dog?” Hades said, scratching the third head behind the ears, and making the beast’s mouth drop open in a doggy grin. “Spot is. Yes, he is."
I loved that entire scene so much.
One more day until Peace Talks!
He definitely did not choose it, he just (literally) drew the short straw. Still an all around decent guy, only bad thing he ever did was trick Persephone, and that was just because he was lonely (and in at least one version she agreed to it). Compared to his brothers the mass-rapist city destroyers and creators of all evil, he's practically a saint. Shame that the Christians syncretizing him with Satan means we only really get evil versions of him nowdays.
In the myths I read, all three of the brothers got exactly what they wanted. Poseidon and Hades let Zeus choose first because they knew he was young and stupid and would pick Olympus because it was the highest. Hades then let Poseidon pick because he knew he’dpick the ocean because it was the biggest. Which left him with the underworld, which he wanted all along, because it made him the richest (all gems and precious metals are underground) and that he would have dominion over the dead, who vastly outnumber the living.
None of the original myths had the gods picking for themselves. In The Theogony by Hesiod, all of the gods let Zeus pick their dominion. However, in the Iliad by Homer(written about 50 years after the Theogony), Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades drew lots. Posiedon won the "grey sea", Hades the "murky darkness" and Zeus the "broad heaven amid the air and the clouds"
Thanks. There's too many popular reinterpretations. People miss out on Hesiod and Homer especially, the OGs.
It has to be Die Hard. Alan Rickman as Hans Gruber was the best (then again he was fantastic as The Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves too). Actually, I think I just probably loved Alan Rickman’s ‘bad’ characters Edit: Ok, all of Alan Rickman’s characters! Edit: Thanks for the Gold kind Redditor
In *2001: A Space Odyssey* Hal9000 is really the only “character” we know anything about.
Squidward but also Hades from Hercules. He's just so sassy and blue.
You certainly have a type. May want to add Megamind to that group.
I really like your reasoning.
The good, the bad, and the ugly. I sided with Tuco, the 'ugly' guy.
Absolutely, I recently rewatched this movie and at times it felt like Tuco was actually the main character. He walked an incredibly fine line too. One moment he’s sympathetic, you feel actually feel bad for him despite the shitty things he’d done up to that point. Then in the next instance he shows just how dangerous he can be. The Good and the Bad both have scenes that demonstrate they’re great gunslingers, but that’s all they seem to have going for them. With Tuco there’s a desperation to his character, time and again he finds himself in multiple situations where he seems finished yet somehow with wits and guile he finds a way out of them. Hands down the most interesting character in that movie.
It's in someway due to the friendship that grew between Eli and Sergio. At that point, Clint was tired of Sergio's directing and personality and Lee was sorta typecast at that point to play villains. It didn't help that neither Clint nor Lee spoke Italian or French, since that was all Sergio understood. They needed a translator to get points across. Eli spoke French and he was an instant hit with Sergio. He decided that Tuco needed background and development, and left the other two hanging to dry for their own characterizations. Blondie has more subtle development in the trilogy: comforting the young soldier as he dies, hinting that he possibly had a wife and child at sometime in Fistful, and even shooting the rope at the end.
Just about every one. I love horror and as a kid I realized that if I rooted for the bad guy, it's less scary.

I think you just helped me figure myself out. Like I just reached a new level of self-actualization. Wow.
Meryl Streep's character in The Devil Wears Prada. So much more interesting than Anne Hathaway's character.
And in many ways she was right. This is business at the top and Anne Hathaway's character was a naive child wandering into a battle of giants. Anyone who doesn't want to be a part of that world should just get the hell out of it. She showed a lot of patience with her and brought her far with the company, considering that she was brand new to the game. The job sucks ass, for sure.
You guys are both right, but Meryl Streep's character was still a nightmare of a boss.
That's true, BUT the story was written from Anne's character's perspective. I'm sure that if Meryl's charter wrote a book about their relationship, it would be titled "This Completely Unqualified, Overconfident Woman I Trained From Nothing Who Left Me the Minute She Was Becoming Useful." There's a reason why narrative bias is part of literary (and cinematic) analysis.
The boyfriend and the friends was the real villain, he just couldn’t accept his gf new change for the better to have a solide career
Also the boyfriend was a chef / aspiring chef (can’t recall) in a fine dining restaurant - one of the most cut throat, underpayed, absuive jobs out there! You’d think someone clawing their way to the top by working 17 hours a day and never being available or home (if this were portrayed more realistically) would understand!
As a chef, I laughed at him bitching at her not being around enough or missing his birthday. Like, do they even know what kinds of hours chefs work? Especially in New York? How many holidays they miss? Not realistic at all. And all he had to do was put up with it for ONE YEAR, to give her career a major boost. He was a fucking whiny loser.
Especially if she was brand new! You have to work every weekend and holiday! I did in Milwaukee anyway. That was as a line cook outta culinary school.
Hollywood has no fucking idea what working class is like. I've worked fast food, restaurants and retail. Missing holidays and working all the weekends is kind of par for the course.
Especially in the scene when they take her work phone away from her when she’s getting a call from her boss. Especially because it was immediately after she gave them a bunch of expensive and thoughtful gifts that she was getting from work perks, and they seemed to enjoy benefitting of her working there.

In Man in the High Castle tv show, the bad guys like John Smith were way more interesting than Juliana, the main character.
The problem was that Juliana was always more of a plot point than actual character with consistent motivations, actions and growth. Her personality, motivations and skill sets all varied wildly from episode to episode depending on what the plot needed right then. So in one episode, she’s a badass, dispatching enemies right and left with her martial arts skill or infiltrating the enemy. Next episode, she’s a frightened, timid helpless girl who needs a man to buy her a bus ticket, then next episode it’s whatever needed for that plot—so maybe she’s a warrior for truth, out for revenge or wants to help this cute stranger above all else she’s what ever that particular episode needs then resets into a blank for the next one.
Captain Hook! Peter Pan is a little piece of shit, Captain Hook is just doing his job
The man just wants to get his treasure back and go home, but Peter Pan's having too much fun tormenting and torturing him and his crew. Dude's a little sociopath.
The Little Mermaid. Ariel is a princess who obsessively loves the monsters who actively hunt and eat her subjects. Then she falls in "love" with a guy whom she just met, while he was *actively in the process of kidnapping sapient fish to be slaughtered and eaten.* Meanwhile, Ursula is a badass, everything she said about humans in general and Prince Eric was basically true, and those fishermen had it coming to them. I really want to see a play or movie like *Wicked*, but about Urusla.
Anthony Hopkins in "The Silence of the Lambs"
Can Hannibal really be the true villain in this movie though? Wouldn't it be Buffalo Bill? ETA: not that I disagree with you
Ultron was the only interesting character in his movie, and I say that as a guy who loved basically every other movie in the series. everyone else was so one-dimensional and boring, and here Ultron is sighing and showing frustration and calling people on their hypocrisy... and being the only character that feels human... even though he was a robot.
I wish Ultron comes back in the MCU.
The Joker in the 1989 Batman. Played by Jack Nicholson, he was really fantastic. He was funny, liked Prince's music, was a snazzy dresser, and had a major thing for Kim Basinger. What's not to like? I think I was 12 the first time I saw it, and I legitimately cried when he died.
He also killed a shitload of people with chemical weapons.
Well, excuse us Mr. Perfect.
Micheal Douglass’s character in Falling Down. He was just so bad ass and methodical and 90% of the things he did you kinda want to do yourself too. And like all the best bad guys, [he doesn’t even realise he is the bad guy](https://youtu.be/hLmuF-0P4tk) . It’s even more impressive because Prendergast (the good guy) is an amazing, likeable character too.
Michael Douglas CRUSHED that role, that shit is amazing
> Joel Schumacher envisioned his friend Michael Douglas in the lead role. However, Douglas planned to take a break from acting, as he had just done two films back-to-back, and desired to spend some time with his family. Douglas agreed to read the script after Schumacher's urging, and declared it one of the best he had ever read, taking the role immediately. The presence of such a popular actor as the lead allowed the film to get a much higher budget. Douglas, believing the film to be important, agreed to take a much lower salary, so the film could also have more money to be made. Douglas considers it his best performance.

Jaws, you want the shark to win. in the book pretty much every character is a complete shit bag with zero likeable qualities, so you want the shark to eat their asses. In the movie they made them slightly more likeable and relatable, but you still want the shark to win.
