TheCrannogDweller Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I strongly disagree with dreamcatcher's opinion on Hans Gruber. I think that the Die Hard movies are a famous series and that the original villain deserves to be on our list (plus, Alan Rickman). I also disagree about Durza. Eragon would've been a dismal movie, if not for Jeremy Irons and Robert Carlyle. They made it at least watchable. And I don't think the Alien is a villain, because for me it's just an intelligent animal, which is following its instincts. I like the idea of having a separate game for horror movies.

dreamcatcher Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'd say from the ones I removed from the list, Hans Landa (Inglorious Basterds) is the most deserving to stay. It's a Tarantino movie which automatically make it a cult classic despite the fact it's quite new, and Christoph Waltz was brilliant in it and critically lauded.I strongly disagree with dreamcatcher's opinion on Hans Gruber. I think that the Die Hard movies are a famous series and that the original villain deserves to be on our list (plus, Alan Rickman). I also disagree about Durza. Eragon would've been a dismal movie, if not for Jeremy Irons and Robert Carlyle. They made it at least watchable.Of course you disagree, it was your list I changed. Why would anyone want to have a villain from a 'dismal movie that has made it at least watchable' on the list? Eragon is a story written by a 15-year-old and it shows. Your opinion of Durza is so totally subjective, because the film was torn apart by critics and although I personally like Jeremy Irons/Robert Carlyle, they haven't received a single nomination for his role, not even of teen awards or fantasy awards or anything. Have you even seen the films Schindler's list (Ralph Phiennes was nominated for an Oscar for the role of Amon Goeth, he was so true to the real thing (google Amon Goeth plz) that the surviving Jews got scared because they thought he was the real one) or Misery (Kathy Bates got an Oscar for her amazing rendition of Annie). Those are classic villains from classic movies, please don't tell me Eragon is because I'm not ever going to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.C. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 And I don't think the Alien is a villain, because for me it's just an intelligent animal, which is following its instincts.Is this some sort of revisionist re-read where we try to interpret Roose Bolton as a good man? ;) The Xenomorph is the villain of the Alien movies (and a terrifying one at that), just as man is the villain in Bambi.Dr. Evil needs to be replaced with Blofeld. The former is a caricature of the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Can't we just split the list in two and have the game in two rounds, as we did for best ASoIaF sex scenes? Then the top 15 (or whatever) from each round go to the grand finale? Coz then we could get this thing started... :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I propose that we remove Sutler, The Architect and Galbatorix - this would get the list down to 60 villains, which we can do in two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrish Swamp Thing Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Excellent work Crannog. I suggest we do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Arya Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I second the split game suggestions.Also Alex Delarge is a MUST for me and Gordon Gekko would be great on there as well.Thanks Crannog!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 That sounds perfect, with your aditions, Crannog. Let's get this party started! :commie: :commie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrannogDweller Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 The credit should go to Quackti for linking me to AFI's list of best villains. :)Does anyone have any preferences as to which villain goes in which game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Unless it's too late I'd like to make a last minute plea to replace some of the 'slasher' film villains with more 'proper actror' villains, Amon Goeth was a much better villain than Leathface, because you can actually believe in him and (to a degree) understand where he's coming from.If it were up to me I'd like to see Anton, Amon and Patrick Bateman in the 30 over Leatherface, Freddie and Jason. (I'd also get rid of Durza, but he seems to have support) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrish Swamp Thing Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Personally, I would just assign the options randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K.C. Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Well Blofeld and Dr. Evil are both on the expanded list, so we could merge them to make room.ETA: I'm really going now, Nog. :leaving: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The BlackBear Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 ETA: :leer: :leer: because he was crazy hot in that movie as well ;) The best thing about this scene is the way he took the time to put his trainers and socks on but no other clothes, then carried a chainsaw around near his 'fruits' (as Joe Abercrombie calls them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrannogDweller Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm reworking the list at the moment. Be not afraid, Patrick Bateman is on it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
