Well, first on my list of best villains has got to be Spike from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." HE'S ON THE THEME SONG NOW!!!!! THEY CAN'T PUT HIM IN JUST ONE EPISODE PER SEASON ANYMORE!
"Let's go kill something!"
Next is John Bender from "The Breakfast Club," which happens to be my favorite movie. He's the typical stoner-who's-really-very-deep...but he is just so *cool*! And it's so sad when he almost cries...aw, I just love this guy. If I knew him in real life I'd end up being his Cynthia Lennon.
"Screws fall out all the time, the world's an imperfect place."
Speaking of people who never stop speaking the truth...I have to include Lisa, from "Girl, Interrupted." Okay, so she's not really evil or anything, just incredibly disturbed. But I couldn't help noticing that she and Bender would make a perfect couple...although she might drive him to suicide or something...I guess nothing's perfect.
Lisa: One more step and I'll jam this in my aorta.
Orderly: Your aorta's in your chest.
Lisa: Good to know.
And of course there's always Rikash...actually, he's a lot like Spike in being the sympathetic guy belonging to an evil race. In other words, you like him even though you're not really supposed to. (I don't believe T.P. was so blind that she actually had her *husband* come up with this idea! I mean DUH!)
Mr. Applegate, from "Damn Yankees." Sure, it's a corny musical about baseball, but you have to look past that. It is, in fact, a corny musical about baseball *and* true love, with some great songs and an awesome villain thrown in to spice (I almost typed Spike...I *so* need to stop reading so much fanfiction) things up. Anyway, Mr. Applegate is actually the Devil, who tries to get the main character to sell his soul. (Man, my brothers hated the idea that a guy would have to sell his soul for the Yankees to lose the Penant.)
"And the hopes that were dashed when the stockmarket crashed...those were the good old days!"
Oh! And how could I forget Doctor "Rocket" Romano from ER! In the earlier seasons, Peter Benton fills his space as conceited asshole, but then he had a kid and started being all nice. *BLECH.* So now we have Romano to make us laugh...
Romano: Didn't think I had a mother, did you?
Haleh: Just trying to picture her.
Okay, and Scar. He gets in here just for being a cool misunderstood younger sibling and for the quote "I'm surrounded by idiots" which I have used on numerous occasions :)
I know it's ridiculous to include one of my OWN characters on this list, but as evil goes, Gledyr of Gorenon is up there in my book. (And in Reesie's, I know.) I really need to read that story again...but basically he's a huge jerk and always beats up Katie. Except when John intervenes ;) Oh, and he was originally based on a lifeguard named Heath Bar...
"Oh, I agree with you. About the killing part, that is. I don't see any reason that we need to find them before they die."
The guy in "Everybody Loves Me, Baby" by Don McLean. Hey, he's conceited, he's obnoxious, and he started his own country! What's not to like?
Okay, this list is wandering away from the realm of the obvious...so, heading back there, how about Faith from "Buffy"? She's totally evil, she has wrecked Buffy's life numerous times, she thinks Spike is cute, oh and there was that time she almost killed Angel! Though the guy's really starting to grow on me...
Buffy: You just killed a person.
Faith: I don't care.
And, continuing with the "Buffy" characters, which some of you must hate, there's Cordelia Chase. The May Queen, The Ice Queen, Queen C, Queen Bitca...the list goes on and on. Suffice to say, she's a Queen among bitches.
"I like your jumper, Willow. It's good to know you've seen the softer side of Sears."
Oh! And as I was saying to "Reesie" the other day, you've gotta love Abby, from "Dawson's Creek." Too bad she was killed off in that incredibly stupid episode where they concentrated more on the whole aggravating Dawson/Joey thing than anything else. Well at least our Abby got her revenge by coming back to haunt Andie...
Chris: You know who you are? You're Nancy Drew. From Hell.
Abby: And don't you forget it.
Ooo, and going back to the list of people no one will know...Saphire, from "Sailor Moon". So he's not particularly cool, but hey, he's hot enough to make *Darien* look bad!
And of course I couldn't make a whole page without a Harry Potter reference (just thank your lucky stars that The Brady Bunch stayed off of this one) so I'll have to put Severus Snape on here. Sure, he's not at all likable...but, as Reese pointed out, those books just wouldn't be the same without him. Oh, and if I could tell J.K. Rowling something, I'd tell her to make *some* of her villains likable. I mean, she's got evil and annoying good guys, but no cool rotten apples. This is just starting to sound weird...
Oh! How 'bout Anne from "Sailor Moon"? Another one of those that eventually turns good, and during an episode that was practically *drowning* in cheese, no less.
"ALAN! If the TREE dies, WE die!" (this is a lot funnier if you've been to Matt's site...)
Well, I might as well sneak in something from my ancient past that none of my web friends are going to understand at all...Veil, from The Outcast of Redwall. (Wow, I just realized how few book characters are in here. So depressing.) Basically, this guy was evil, even though he was raised with those never-stop-preaching doers-of-good, the folk at Redwall Abbey. And then he ran away to join his evil Dad, and...well...okay, so he dies a hero's death. BUT IT WAS SO DAMN SAD! THEY NEVER GAVE HIM A CHANCE!
~calm down you barely even remember the book~
I remember being *sad.*
~you're always sad about something~
Not now, I'm babbling about evil people!
Let me see, who else is evil...a lot of people who aren't fictional are coming to mind. Hmmm....oh well, I'm tired. I'll come up with more tomorrow.
