because nobody's scared of a Big Flaming Eyeball even if it is a Pseudonatural Paragon Big Flaming Eyeball of Legend

And you are confusing Morgoth with his follower Sauron. :\

 

[Tonguez]

Skipped the ones I didn't know. And really regretted a few choices. I mean "Emperor Palpatine vs Iago", that was a first round blockbuster.

Also, can you make a new thread when you start the next round?

 

[Gomez]

Also, can you make a new thread when you start the next round?

I don't see why not.

 

[Barendd Nobeard]

Ok here is the first round.

To vote please copy and paste the list and remove the losing villain from each match up.

Vote for the Best Villain in each match up. It is not a battle to see who is the toughest villain.

Save your comments on the voting for the bottom of your post. Don't put comments in the list itself.

62. Morgan le Fay (Legends of King Arthur)
63. Great Cthulhu
64. Auric Goldfinger




Some great nominations here--but I can't believe no one nominated the xenomorph from Alien (and the sequels)!

And Frank N. Furter is not the villain of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. He's the hero.

I voted Nurse Ratched over Blofeld--she's worse because she's supposed to help people.

Sorry, couldn't vote for Skeletor. Animated skull-heads voiced by poor Katherine Hepburn imitations just aren't scary!

61. Arthas the Betrayer (Warcraft 3) vs Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz) - that's a tough one! I went with the witch; I think Arthas is worse in the "supposed to help but turns evil" way (the Nurse Ratched rule), but the Witch really gets into your head (as a kid) even though she's only on screen less than five minutes.

And 62. Morgan le Fay (Legends of King Arthur) vs Professor James Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes novels) is tough!

Evil, evil pairings, Gomez. Good job!!!!

62. Professor James Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes novels)
63. Great Cthulhu
64. Agent Smith (The Matrix)

I don't see a lot here as villians, but...

1. Ming the Merciless vs Ms. Frost (The Satanic DM from Jack Chick's Dark Dungeons)
Hot, Evil DM Chick always wins.

6. Adelai Niska (Firefly) vs Napoleon the Pig (Animal Farm)
I haven't seen all the Firefly episodes, so I don't know this guy, and haven't read Animal Farm yet, but is in the list, and if it is as 1984, Pig wins.

7. Fat Bastard vs Lady Deathstrike (X-men)
My hate of all Austin Powers decides this.

8. Cain (Robocop) vs Lord Soth
Not really a contest...

10. Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) vs Ernst Stavro Blofeld (James Bond)
My hate of all James Bond decides this...

17. Hal 9000 vs Delilah (Sampson and Delilah)
The scene when Hal was slowly disconnected gave me nightmares, don't know why

19. Khan Noonian Singh vs Blinky the Red Monster (Pac-Man)
Blinky wasn't a villian, he was misunderstood!

21. Megatron vs Jon Irenicus (Baldur’s Gate 2)
This one is a close one, given how much I came to hate Irenicus, but nostalgia decides this one!

22. Randall Flagg (The Stand) vs Evil Ash (Army of Darkness)
Flagg is one of my favorite villians EVER, so...

29. Stormbringer vs Cigarette Smoking Man (X-Files)
No contest, I love Stormbringer

35. The Kurgan (Highlander) vs Darth Maul
I think this will be the closest one, I'm still undecided, but I'm going to give it to the Kurgan

39. Magneto vs Carnage
I don't really think Magneto is a villian, but the cool points go to him.

40. Davros (Dr. Who) vs Bob (Twin Peaks)
I watched the first season of Twin Peaks recently, for the first time. Creepy points go to him.

41. Strahd Von Zarovich (Ravenloft) vs Angelus (Buffy and Angel)
Angel/Angelus got the best babes, but I see Strahd as less angsty

42. Gul Dukat (DS9) vs Pennywise the Dancing Clown
Pennywise gave me nightmares for years...

43. Claybore (Cenotaph Road) vs John Powell (Night of the Hunter)
Don't know any of this two...

45. Servalan (Blake's 7) vs Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th movies)
My hate of Jason Voorhees decides this...

49. Gollum vs The Gunslinger (Westworld)
I don't really see Gollum as a villian, more of an antihero.

50. Lex Luthor vs Cruella de Ville (101 Dalmations)
After this season of Justice League, I see Luthor as a very serious villain. No nonsense about puppies...

52. Invader Zim vs Pinhead (Hellraiser)
Zim's cooler

53. Mr. Crocker (Fairly Oddparents) vs Skeletor (He-Man)
And Crocker is more efficient...

55. Boba Fett ( Star Wars) vs The Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves)
One Queen into the Saarlac pit

59. Six (Battlestar Galatica) vs Gargamel (Smurfs)
Sexiness wins this one!

60. Galactus vs General Zod (Superman II)
Every time I see Galactus, I can't avoid thinking about one episode of Dexter's Lab (Dial M for Monkey actually), where "Galactus" came to devour the Earth... can't take him seriously at all since then...

61. Arthas the Betrayer (Warcraft 3) vs Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz)
Arthas is one of the best videogame villians ever... you actually want him TO DIE even when you are controlling him...

 

[Wombat]

First Round

1. Ming the Merciless -- I go for MING! He's Merciless!
2. Francis Begbie (Trainspotting) -- Begbie; he's unambiguously evil
3. Dr. Doom -- Hmm, let's see ... a classic comic book villain or ... Okay, Dr. Doom, easily
4. The Joker -- no question again. The Joker is so twisted...
5. Thanos vs Plankton (Spongebob Squarepants)
6. Napoleon the Pig (Animal Farm) -- some animals are better than others
7. Lady Deathstrike (X-men) -- don't really know her, but I found Fat Bastard so ... boring
8. Cain (Robocop) -- don't have my heart in either
9. Lord Voldemort -- Bow Before Your True Master
10. Ernst Stavro Blofeld (James Bond) -- I mean, the nurse is evil, but Bloefeld had PLANS!
11. Bill Sikes (Oliver Twist) -- tough choice! I go with Bill for the classic appeal, but both are great
12. Dr. Fu Manchu -- plans and webs of terror win out
13. Bhaal (Forgotten Realms) -- but neither is high in my books
14. The Master (Dr. Who) -- The Master! The True Villain!
15. Satan (The Exorcist) -- Lloth does nothing for me...
16. The Clock King -- because the best Prince John was Claude Rains
17. Hal 9000 -- What are you doing, Dave?
18. Godzilla -- this is tough, mainly because it is hard to judge big-n-green, but I go with a guy in a rubber suit stomping on a model of Tokyo -- it's a universal language!
19. Khan Noonian Singh -- was this a serious match up? PacMan tasks no one...
20. Chairface Chippendale (The Tick) vs Thoth-Amon (Conan Stories)-- who else dared to carve his face on the moon?
21. Jon Irenicus (Baldur’s Gate 2) -- steals souls for fun, ruins whole cultures and cities, and he is just so SATISFYING to kill at the end!
22. Evil Ash (Army of Darkness) -- groovy
23. Mr. Burns -- Excellent, Smithers! Have the Rolling Stones killed!
24. Dorian Gray -- gotta love classical decadence
25. Mr. Edward Hyde -- ditto
26. Iago (Othello) -- Draw them close, build them up, ruin them. Subtlty wins here.
27. Anubis (Stargate SG-1) -- He's nice and nasty
28. Chancellor David Carlton -- by default only. Neither one of them is a wow
29. Cigarette Smoking Man (X-Files) -- how many lies? how many conspiracies? how many webs?
30. Docter Octopus -- Doc Oc by a head ... err ... tentalce
31. Darth Vader -- He's big, he's black, he's got one of the coolest entrances in all of moviedom...
32. Thulsa Doom -- this is not a contest
33. Hannibal Lector -- he's the scariest kind of guy going, highly intelligent and utterly without morals
34. The Borg Queen -- neither one of them really fully does it for me
35. Darth Maul -- much smoother moves
36. Mr. Glass (Unbreakable) -- because some things just need to be
37. Graf Orlock (Nosferatu) -- I have a thing for the silents
38. Jack Torrence (The Shining) -- unnerving
39. Magneto -- pure power and vengeance versus pretty much a nobody
40. Bob (Twin Peaks) -- ooh! Very tough! I like Davros, but BOB haunts my nightmares now
41. Angelus (Buffy and Angel) -- only because he was marginally better written
42. Gul Dukat (DS9) -- starts as a political weathervane, shifts to self-deluding destroyer of worlds, he's slimey and great!
43. John Powell (Night of the Hunter) -- not wild about either
44. Jabba the Hutt -- again, not wild about either
45. Servalan (Blake's 7) -- because I've never been forced to sit through Blake's 7, so it HAS to be better...
46. Casanova Frankenstein (Mystery Men) -- let's boogie!
47. Dracula -- Mickey's got a lot going for him, but the Count is the Count, pure classic!
48. Tony Montana (Scarface) -- only because of what he is matched with
49. Gollum -- Gollum is interesting
50. Lex Luthor -- an ordinary man who takes on Superman? That takes chutzpah!
51. Snidely Whiplash (Rocky and Bullwinkle) -- NYAHahah!
52. Pinhead (Hellraiser) -- but both bore me
53. Mr. Crocker (Fairly Oddparents) -- because he isn't in He-Man...
54. Sauron (Lord of the Rings) -- a demigod versus a robot? Please...
55. The Queen (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves) -- now SHE'S scary!
56. Kingpin -- the man who organizes wins!
57. Morgoth (JRR Tolken) -- poor Wiley, crushed flat by a god!
58. John Doe (Se7en) -- at least he's interesting
59. Six (Battlestar Galatica) -- oh glak! having to go with BG because of Smurfs!
60. Galactus -- they guy eats planets!
61. Wicked Witch of the West (Wizard of Oz) -- she's pure-on nasty!
62. Professor James Moriarty (Sherlock Holmes novels) -- AGH! AGH! How to choose? In the end I go with Moriarity because he is the Ultimate Nemesis, whereas Morgan le Fay is at least an ambiguous character, but I love them both!
63. Great Cthulhu -- Freddy knows nothing about the horrors lurking inside dreams...
64. Auric Goldfinger -- I give it to the free agent mastermind over the bad program
