The Greatest On-Screen TV Villain - Cersei Lannister?

[KingKhanWC]

Arnold in first Terminator movie felt more chilling to me. In movies Lee Van Cleef in The Good , the bad and the Ugly was standout.

Arnie was great but had a few jokes, funny scenes while T-1000 didnt find anything funny.

Lee Van Cleef is a great shout ,he was greedy, cunning and a great shot. Eli Wallach who played the Ugly was also brilliant bad guy, never to be trusted. The film is genius, still the best western after so many decades.

Gus Fring, Heath Ledger Joker, Hans Landa, Agent Smith and Darth Vader are my top picks.

It is tough for any western to reach that level let alone surpass it. This movie and Sholay are two movies i have watched countless times and will see them again.
Returning to great villains some of my other favorites are in no particular order
1. Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
2. Sheriff in Robin Hood. Bolth played to perfection by Alan Rickman
3. Freddy Kruger in Nightmare on Elm Street 1. Scary in first one. Sequels turned him into one liner machine.
4. Darth Vader (Ep 4 and 5)
5. Dr Lector - Silence of Lambs
6. Margret White - Carrie (70's). She played religious nutcase Carrie's mom.
7. Hans Landa
8. Joker ( Jack Nicholson and Ledger)
9. Last minute Villains - Anthony Perkins in Psycho and Kevin Spacey (The Usual suspects and Seven) , Jigsaw in Saw 1.
10. Khan - Star Trek 2

Sorry, but for me its Gus Fring, Heisenberg, Hector Salamanca and Don Eladio.

But than again, I am someone who rated BB above GOT.

If we had to compare both Fring and Heisenberg as the greatest villain than for me Heisenberg comes first. I am the danger!

I wish a spin off could had been made on Don Eladio and Hector Salamanca, how those both came together and started off.

Gus Fring, Heath Ledger Joker, Hans Landa, Agent Smith and Darth Vader are my top picks.

oh yes, in movies, its obviously the Joker and his flawed sense of justice.

The Joker has to be up there but is he really a villain or a good guy just angry at the world?

Most villians claim to be victims in childhood which turned them into monsters.

Arthur Mitchell - Trinity killer(Dexter) has to be one of the most evil baddies .

with Joker we never got their childhood story to know full facts. Jack Nicholson 's joker was already established gangster having affair with Boss's life. Falling into tank just pushed him over the edge. Heath Ledger's even less so. Joker was always meant to be genius psychopath with warped sense of humor.
I agree regarding Trinity Killer. Dexter series couldn't live up to same standard after they killed him.
Very few times we see the real factors behind villain's transformation reaching out to their childhood. Good example would be Ben Linus (Lost). Among Batman's lore Penguin come to mind. Some character were just born evil. Good example would be Kid from Omen. Brother Justin (Carnivale).

Ramsay Bolton from GoT gives me the creeps.

Even Harvey Dent in that movie and how the Joker manufactured a villain out of him was brilliant. The ideas of good/evil, chaos, justice, fairness, anarchy in that movie is just amazing, it's what makes it the best ever superhero movie by a country mile. And of course Two-Face's appearance is terrifying and iconic.

I forgot Wilson Fisk if we're talking about TV shows. My avatar should have reminded me lol.

Most villains have some level of warped justification to what they do, that's what makes them interesting. And it doesn't make their actions or the suffering they cause any less evil, so I wouldn't call him a good guy.

That plus Heath Ledger's performance, the iconic script/lines and appearance. He's funny and terrifying and almost correct all at the same time. A GOAT villain.
