Putting president buisness that low is a total crime. Just because he got a redemption doesn’t mean it’s bad, it’s literally the son redeeming his dad in his eyes
Nah I don't think a cheesy redemption finale is the way to go about a villain who's a mirror of real life corporate neofascists. People irl already have way too much sympathy for them as it is. Plus it isn't low at all.
If he was i would agree, but its more so a kid seeing his dad in that way so while the allegory is there, the fact lord business is redeemed so easily like that makes sense to me. Literally all that was needed was this kid needed to spend non work related genuine time with his dad. And once he got it, bam! Redeemed! @@Brazilsfirstcommiefemboyleader
@@Brazilsfirstcommiefemboyleader Imagine being this deep into your own twisted ideology that you see a kid being upset about his workaholic father being strict and going, "Oh he's a fascist, sympathy for him is like forgiving Microsoft or Ratheon." Chill out, it's it not that complex, it's just a kid being mad that his dad is not being fun and in the sequel he's being a hands-off parent and letting his kids fight over the toys rather than do his job to mediate the problem.
The fact that there were only 20 villains in Warner Bros. Animation's theatrical movies shows to me the company has had A LOT more non-theatrical than theatrical movies (and villains). Let that sink in for a moment...
Warner as a company has been around for over a hundred years. (Actually close to exactly that. Google says 1923.) They have made hundreds of films over the last century. I feel as though this is to be expected.
34:43 That plot point about Mojo Jojo being the Professor’s old lab monkey isn’t learned by the girls until I think season 2 or 3 of the show, which the movie is a prequel of, so the writers couldn’t really do much with it since nobody is supposed to know about that at this point.
IMO they definitely handled Garmaddon and his redemption better in the show, they didn’t make it anywhere near as complicated, it just, straight up was that he was corrupted by the great devourers venom, which made the redemption better because we know he wasn’t in control whatsoever, so him being cured and turned human again was all they needed to do.
That, and there were several moments in the show where Garmadon willingly refused to bring harm onto his family, and even went out of his way to rescue his child from dying in a volcano, AND confessed to said kid that he wasn't a good role model and that Lloyd needed to pursue his own path, as Garmadon believed he himself could not. He only ever tried to harm his family when the Overlord forced him to. He was put in a corner with his destiny and became a tragic character you WANTED to see get saved.
I honestly think that The Lego Ninjago Movie as a whole (and not just Garmadon) would have been a lot better if the writers from the series had written/been consulted on the script for the movie because honestly this movie doesn’t really feel like a Ninjago movie as much as it does just another Lego movie
Don't forget about the portrayal of the Joker in *Batman Beyond: Return Of The Joker* . That was the DCAU Joker at his absolute most TWISTED and the pinnacle of the Mark Hamill-era Joker!
Bro is literally one of my top animated villains that gives me the jeebies - to the point I can't really watch the movie again despite how much I enjoyed it. xD It takes a lot for animated villains to do that since I LOVE animated movies, but maaan...When you do, you know you made a quality villain!
37:49 I kid you not, the second batman said “those guys are no match for the 4 of us”, it cut to an applebees ad playing “just the two of us” by Bill Withers
I will say that I think Rex Dangervest is not only how you can make a villain who can be comedic, threatening and even a little sympathetic after watching his back story, but he is probably the best animated twist villain ever. Disney, you should DEFINITELY take notes from this.
As someone who was heavily into the original show, I loved Garmadon in the Lego Ninjago movie, purely because he was a great difference from his show counterpart. Mark Oliver(the show's voice actor) was mostly menacing with very few moments of levity, while Justin Thereaux(the movie's voice actor) was more of the opposite. Due to the movie being more lighthearted fare, Garmadon was naturally going to be far less menacing, but he still had great humor as a dorky manchild with hundreds of minions and mechs behind him
Fun Fact about Kent Mansley: He's the voice of Christopher McDonald, also known as Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore. Imagine editing the rivalry scene between him and Adam Sandler's Davey Stone from Eight Crazy Nights, given a similar animation style to their respective characters. 😅
7:37 - 7:45 As a matter fact: Mr Waternoose was originally going to be voiced by Kelsey Grammer in Monsters University, replacing James Coburn after his death in 2002, but the character was dropped out for unknowing reasons during the film's production. But he did made a cameo appearances in a picture at the end of the movie.
If you want some context, the Lego Ninjago Movie is based on a TV show called Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu. The movie is based on the storyline of the pilot episodes and the first two seasons. (For the most part) And let me tell you, it is NOT like the movie. There's a lot of differences actually. Not just that one is a movie with limited time and the other is a TV show that has the chance to flesh out all its characters and world. No spoilers, but they also handle the Garmadon family story a lot better in my opinion, knowing that the context there is much different, and again because show, actually establishes the prejudice and unfortunate circumstances Garmadon suffered that made him the bad guy in the first place. If you are interested, I do at least recommend the two Pilot Episodes and the first two seasons, then see how you feel about it. The earliest seasons are in my opinion the easiest ones to get into, as they flesh out so many of the characters you see in the movie, especially the other ninja. A reason why fans of the show don't care for the movie is because the six ninja are fleshed out well developed characters full of personality and dynamics with each other and the movie stripped said personalities and dynamics. As a fan of the show, I do think the earliest seasons are at least worth one watch if you want to get into the brand, Jambareeqi.
I have to give Scwakhammer bonus points for one thing. In the dressing rooms, he says "Not you, you idiot!" and then makes one of the best faces I've ever seen in animation xD
In the original version of the Iron Giant's interrogation scene was a bit darker. Kent chloroforms Hogarth when he returns to the shed, takes him to a far away location and ties him up to a chair. His threat to take Hogarth away from his mom is also a little different. "We can make it more difficult. We can declare her... unfit. And all that that implies."
34:42 Actually there is an explanation for this missed opportunity: Continuity with the TV show. The fact that Mojo was the Professor's lab assistant was revealed in an episode "Mr. Mojo's Rising" , which established that Utonium didn't remember much stuff before the girls were born, something that Mojo tries to use to manipulate the Professor.
Yes that’s probably why. Although Jambareeqi made a review of the powerpuff girls movie many years ago, and he mentioned that there was an episode that explored the professor and mojo’s relationship more, however, there could be people who haven’t seen that episode and only saw the movie. A film usually has to work on it’s own to introduce newcomers into a show, especially considering that this film is a prequel. If something requires you to watch an episode of a show before watching a movie, that’s going to create an issue and a bit of confusion for the professor and mojo’s relationship in the film’s story.
Anyone else find it funny that the villains of the first Space Jam movie never realize they were trick into playint a basebasket ball game when they were going to take the LT's by force.
39:32 - 39:51 As much as that scene sounded like Kent scaring Hogarth into talk, it's kind of true too. As Kent as evidence that links Hogarth to the power station accident and can probably find something to pin Hogarth at the train wreck. And if word got out that these incidents were caused by a child, the town may start showing concern to where was the child's parents in all of this. Especially since Annie told Kent that Hogarth was wandering out that night. Therefore, Hogarth is left with the ultimatum: Does he take the blame for the Giant's recklessness, causing causing the public to look down upon him and his mother, and CPS takes him away due to "neglectful parenting", or does he reveal where the Giant is?
Thrax is one of the best Non-Disney villains in all of animation. He is very well-designed, beautifully animated and fantastically voiced by Laurence Fishburne.
34:42 - "The movie never embraces the emotional meat of this backstory" - Well the movie can't do that because the show already did that in "Mr. Mojo's Rising" where it was spelled out to the girls and the professor Mojo's connection which even Mojo had somewhat forgotten all the details of. And as the movie is canon to the show it isn't going to go against that point so if you want that emotional story watch that episode for it.
Fun fact: Hunter and Waternoose ALMOST shared a voice actor; as Waternoose's original VA, James Coburn, had passed away between Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University, MU was going to have a scene with a younger Waternoose voiced by Kelsey Grammer hiring promoted mailboys Mike and Sulley into the scare floor.
@@thelovingrockerboy7811 pretty sure there a more than 200 movie villains in existence since almost every movie has a villain of some sort thats gotta be like over 700,000 villains if not more maybe even in the millions
@@evenhartwick4422 personally, I thought Doodle referred to every villian Jamb's covered, but, to put a metric as an example, if every movie has an average of 2 villians, that would be 40 villians he covers in one video, also assuming he only covers 20 movies. Now, EVERY movie in existence would put that in the millions, right? Since the concept of a longform cinematographic release has been around for far too long to be pinpointed, with the credited date for breakthrough on the medium of theatrical screenings being on 1895, VERY LATE 1895, in fact. The concept, yes, was introduced by Thomas Edison's 1891 Kinetoscope, but that's a different tale So no, we would not be in the millions of villians. Let's assume now that 450 movies have been released every year from the 1895 to 2024, which is nearly 130 years, 450 × 130 × 2 would be...117,000 villians, sweet jumping jehosaphat. Millions? No An asinine amount that would take Jambereequi decades to produce? Absolutely
@@thelovingrockerboy7811 i mean i guess he wasn't specific so if just took "You should just rank every villain one day. Like all of them" as just being every villain in a movie. but i could be wrong maybe he will respond and clarify
@@evenhartwick4422 Either way, I think we all get that the point is, that would either be a REALLY long video or a really long series, and tbh, it'd be really fun to watch a series about movie's baddies, from the historical, the hypocritical and the just hyper-useless

Legit, if I didn't have massive stage fright and had any sort of voice talent, I would so wanna be a villain in a film! Animated is always a good one since you don't have to show your face or act (as in, do stunts, etc) yourself - just gotta be sure you can nail the character and such.
I love your videos. I love the Batman villains the most. I would love to see a video on ranking the animated female dogs of the movies. Dogs like Jenna, Sasha, Rita, Dixie, Lady, Georgette, Maya, and many others.
34:40 The movie CAN'T embrace the backstory between Mojo Jojo and Professor Utonium though, because it comes from the cartoon itself. There is an episode where Mojo being the Professor's old lab monkey is treated as a big twist, and the Professor doesn't remember him until the very end, which includes the revelation that Mojo accidentally created the girls himself. If any of the characters acknowledged this history, it would make the film non-canon.
I love Thrax. Even though he's in the middle of a childish, even gross movie, he remains intimidating and serious, unlike some other villains who are undercut by the comedic tone of their movies. Instead we know he's the real deal - that when he's on screen the heroes are in real trouble.

15:47 While Jason Issacs doesn’t exactly do a good impression of Paul Winchell, I think it’s still an amazing take on Dastardly on its own. He’s still campy, but he also puts in more creepy edge and sophistication.
Dick Dastardly is not that evil. All he wants is be with his dog and stole a treasure; that's it! He doesn't kill anyone or torture kids. This man just wants his best friend back, that's cute 🥰 I like the president of Acme's plan. It's weird and silly, goes well in a universe where Toons and humans lived together. It's a bit cruel to turn every humans into monkeys, forced them to build weapons than buy them. I would put him above Dick dastardly.
Last time I checked, I haven’t seen the movie, but I have seen the series briefly that this was the equivalent of I think the Digimon movie where you could’ve watch the movie and completely understood this series granite was it three stories, but last time I checked, he actually did supposedly have a good redemption arc I would highly get it a watch. It was the zoomer’s version of Bionicle for the childhood of the early to mid 2010s.
The Joker is not only my favorite super/comic book villain, my favorite DC character, and one of my favorite villains, but he's also one of my favorite characters of all time. Speaking of comics can you do a "top 5 best & worst episodes of X-Men the Animated Series" since its sequel series X-Men 97 is about to come out.
46:05 Also just love his design as it is a badass design for a deadly viris the tendrils on his head that look like dreadlocks and i love the badass overcoat and of course that glowing long over sized claw
The crazy fact is that these villains come from Warner Bros animation theatrical. If that's not all, imagine the whole stake of all Warner Bros villains.
2:49 I personally think that Lord Garnadon/The Lego Ninjago movie as a whole would’ve got over a lot better with fans if the writers from the Ninjago tv series had written the script for The Lego Ninjago
Awesome ranking of Warner Bros villain list Darla Dimple Mojo jojo & Thrax Are my favorite villains & the Phantasm is my all-time favorite villain design And of course joker i like him two in Batman mask of the phantasm is a great movie ever made with brilliant writing and story and animation my childhood favorite !
41:49 And see why Warner brothers would also reuse her design for the Batman villain Baby Doll apart from the fact they were both based on Shirley Temple
0:30, Steven Martin had alot of Fun playing the ACME Chairman in Looney Tunes Back in Action, 15:05 same with Jason Issac playing Dick Dastardly in SCOOB, even though I still defend that Film! Just give them the right script and they can make something hilarious and enjoyable
1:42- It would've been so much more sense if he were a forgotten Looney Tunes character from the early days- would've made him more memorable and nice callbackt to Judge Doom before Turbo came along
I mean I am a much bigger fan of the Joker obviously than Phantasm, but that’s because we’ve had much more screen time with him, but even then if we don’t look at movies. Mr Freeze or Two Face will always be my favourites because of the way their stories are told, tragedies that led their lives down despicable paths.
fun fact though with the Phantasm, His voice was performed by the same actor who did Andrea's father, which was supposed to be a red herring, we were meant to think that Andrea's father was the Phantasm, especially when she sold Bruce the story about how she thought her father was in town doing the murders and came to stop him, it's only when we see all the clues put together with Joker's identity reveal and that Andrea's father was dead all along and that his killer WAS the guy who would become Joker which set her on her path of revenge
4:06 reason they went with that definitely is from influences of the show which is really good. I mean in the movie which is a seperate thing mind you, garmadon actually is a bit of tragic character. Basically an evil snake, the great devourer bit him as child and poisoned him by corrupting him into slowly becoming evil which was a gradual process which took centuries. Also it’s later revealed that the great devourer was a normal snake corrupted by the overlord who is the physical embodiment of darkness and is essentially Satan. Also the 4 arms was for him to hold all 4 golden weapons which is caused by the evil venom. So to get 4 arms he needs to go to another realm. Only thing that holds him back is his son who he abandoned as he turned evil and was banished to the underworld. Then in season 2 the overlord possesses him kind of killing him with his body being a husk and yeah he was manipulated by Satan at first before that possession. Then once the overlord was defeated garmadon had the evil removed from him and he was normal. Also his son was destined to defeat him at least initially believed to so that’s another thing. Then garmadon sacrificed himself to a cursed realm to save everyone and then that realm was destroyed. Then garmadon is resurrected but only the evil part so his good side is gone and basically had to relearn his last if I remember that last bit right.
45:50 Honest to god that line is the best he has. Lord the way Thrax gets my heart fluttering😳 Also I know he’s not the best but Ruber is one of my favorite villains, god just Gary Oldman’s voice acting was fucking *perfect!!!!* *also Ruber kinda fine asf-*
Plus the hundreds of productions that got cancelled for easy tax write offs, terrible treatment to workers, how he deleted the hell out of many CN shows, how poorly he treated the Looney Tunes overall (the literal most FUCKING important piece of media of Warner btw), and (not trying to sound like DVD commercials) many, many, MANY more! Truly a vile character!
31:05 I also like how at the end of the movie Her two most loyal henchmen Mark and Keith actually start to realize that Lulu isn't a nice person And they redeem themselves by helping Krypto defeat her with Mark being Adopted by Cyborg and Keith Who now has hydroconesis is Adopted by Aquaman
I loved how in Batman Mask of the Phantasm we got to see what Joker was like before he became the Clown Prince of Crime. throughout the Batman Multiverse there are different backstories to Joker
The thing is that in the Ninjago Show is was actually explained a bit better and less of a turn and explained how Garmadon became evil and then turned good again. As well as how Lloyd became good.
I feel there were a few villains that were left out of the discussion, from the ones that appeared in the Scooby-Doo movies, Zombie Island, Witches Ghost, Alien Invasion, and Cyber Chase, the two Don Bluth movies that Warner Bros did distributed in the 90's, Thumbelina and A Troll in Central Park, the villain that appeared in the Pokémon 2000 (and I suppose the First Movie even though MewTwo was clearly blinded by hate then finally open his eyes to what he was about to do), etc.
20:43 Also I just love President Business' design under the guise of Lord Buissnes As I really like how his helmet and cape give him the appearance of a giant neck tie And I will say that it was clever of him to hire a corrupt cop with Multiple personality disorder to lead his Black Ops team of Robots While having them based in every single of the worlds besides Bricksburg As that tells you how big his empire really is plus Will Ferrell rather entertaining as this egotistical politician
Honestly, I am happy with Mojo’s place on this list! I loved him so much in the movie! And personally, I think we could give him a pass on his backstory with Utonium not being explored since the movie is a prequel to the show and they focus on that in an episode where he reveals this and the Professor barely remembered him aside from having a monkey lab partner named Jojo. That’s always been a down side of making prequels. Certain opportunities have to be ignored for the sake of continuity. That’s not on the fault of the villain.
I think the reason they never dived into the emotional part of Mojo jojo's history is because the writers didn't want to risk undermining how that history was a big reveal in the show, had they left clues or tried to explore it here it would have been either undercooked because they had to restrict themselves from revealing too much or it would have contradicted the reveal in the show and undermine that
I think in the Ninjago movie, Lloyd should have been eaten by the cat instead. That way Garmadon could actually realize what effects his horrible parenting could have on him. It feels much more full circle than their attempt to make Garmadon a redemptive villain.
Here’s my ranking. 20: Schwackhammer: His plan to enslave The Looney Tunes for a theme park is ridiculous. He ordered his minions to steal talents from famous basketball players. Stealing talents is cheating. The only things I like are how he’s money obsessed and Danny DeVito voices him. 19: Acme Chairman: His plan to turn people into monkeys is no too shabby. Perhaps some seriousness should go great. 18: Lord/President Business: He’s not the same in The Lego Movie 2. I do like how he redeems himself in the first movie. 17: Lord Garmadon: The Lego Ninjago Movie kinda should’ve portrayed him better, but I like his humor overall. 16: Terrance Mendoza: IDK about you, but envy is something that can give a villain the drive to become influenced, broken, or just pure evil. I can relate to Terrance because I struggle with online matches on Smite and Splatoon 3. Guy’s only got a few traits that make him a little too nice to be a bad guy and one of them is that he’s kind and polite to his clients. 15: Slade (TTGTTM): He finally shows up after being MIA from the series. I’m at bottom level of the grey area level neutral about Teen Titans Go. Teen Titans is much more mature. Slade is a dangerous foe. Even more so in the original. He is different however. Plot twist villains aren’t always that much to me overtime. 14: Pigeon Toady: He’s a socially awkward nutcase who rats the heroes out. Not to mention that he’s not really that much of a villain. 13: Dick Dastardly: (in my geek out mode considering that he’s seen on Boomerang all the time) Dang! Dick Dastardly just got a glow up!! Holy chalupa supreme!!!! His voice is so deep!!!! (In my normal commentary mode) his CGI adaptation is phenomenal and I have to see that movie, but I’m not sure why he’s the main antagonist of Scoob. Sure I can understand his motives, but seriously, I didn’t expect that. 12: Lord Ruber: Okay, despite Nostalgia Critic reviewing this movie already, I can tell that Ruber is edgy looking. Did I forget to mention the whole shoddy redemption seen of Bladebeak? Ugh! Lord Ruber steals the show. 11: AL-G RHYTHM: They didn’t have to make a Space Jam 2 in Cyberspace, but deleting The Tune Squad if they lose is going way too far. At least he’s gone and reduced to atoms in the end. This guy is one villain who I don’t think should be messed with. 10: Rex Dangervest: 5 words: Way better than Lord Business! Alternate evil versions of us from the future are not what they seem when they hide their identities from us. They pretend to be good, but then make us do bad things so that the future can be grim and dystopian. 9: Hunter: That battle mech that he uses to destroy the factory is just badass. I should see the movie sometime. 8: Lulu: More proof that Lex Luthor is a conniving and evil madman. Lulu has a motive like Rex Dangervest. Villains are either influenced, broken or pure evil. For Lulu’s case, she is both broken and pure evil. 7: LEGO Joker: I know that Joker and Batman have this bitter rivalry, but c’mon. It is blatantly obvious that Joker cares about Batman to an extent. I don’t have anything against The LEGO Batman Movie, but without it, we wouldn’t have gotten LEGO Batman’s glowing eyes in the Second Lego Movie. Is it just me or is The Lego Batman Movie connected? 6: Kent Mansley: Where do I begin? (Inhales) HE IS STINKING COWARD AND FULL OF PREJUDICE!!! Ahem! Try reading my rage and commentary for Kent Mansley in Nostalgia Critic and Hades’ voice. So yeah, he’s hilarious to laugh at, but that scene where he commands the guys in the battleships to fire at the city is where the final nail in the coffin is placed for his character. 5: Mojo Jojo: Now that I know his backstory, I’m at an extreme loss for words. His plan to make an army left me laughing my butt off when it backfired. I haven’t seen the rest of it, but I have to see how it goes in the end. 4: Darla Dimple: All I have to say is she’s pretty much intimidating when angry. I’d rather not let my cool go out the door that fast. Also, couldn’t she get a bodyguard with brains and muscle. I’d rather have that handled as well. 3: Joker (Mask of The Phantasm): Batman TAS Joker is one incarnation of The Joker that you’ll have to look out for. His lair being an abandoned amusement park ride is actually a good place for a lair if you were The Joker. 2: Phantasm: One thing I don’t like about this villain is all the frameups on Batman. I was expecting Phantasm to be a guy, but a woman!? That’s crazy! 1: Thrax: Thrax is a villain so dangerous that he is pretty much deadly and pure evil. I watched Osmosis Jones a bunch of times and overtime, I really got the big picture. Viruses are dangerous and Thrax proves that to all of us.
18:08 Gary Oldman’s strange microphone chewing performance doesn’t help that much either, as it just adds to the far fetched idea that Ruber is part of these knights.
I love that Thrax's section is really labelled Frank, even if it's a mistake. Because it is objectively Frank that caused Thrax to enter him. There is literally no denying he was his own downfall, and he got worse before Ozzy and Drix left his body in the cartoon so it's freaking wild that they even tried in the movie in hindsight. Frank is a lost cause. I'd say he's be a good organ donor if his organs failing from illness wasn't going to be his primary cause of death.
Maybe I'm just simply easy to please but Garmaddon and President Business were some of my faves. I fell in love with the LEGO Movie from the animated aspects alone, but then he was just such a fun character for some reason. And while I've never been into Ninjago, I just love how he's designed. LEGO Joker is my fave Joker as well, though I was never into superhero movies in general - and I didn't care for the OG or modern Jokers. Of course, Business will always be my first fave. :P Omg, I forgot that Thrax had a name other "Red Death". I forgot what he even looked like, lol! He's definitely one of my top "Villains that Gives me the Most Creeps", along with Zira from Lion King 2 and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command's version of Zurg (those eyes, honestly). But I actually had an OC inspired by him, as well as myself getting sick (not with the same sickness, but still). Thinking of it...I may have to design another char after him - I have been on a "trench coat and sharp claw" kick lately...Though claws aren't abnormal for me to add. Regarding who my faves are, I'd honestly say it depends on what we're going by. Like when it gets to just how evil they are, Thrax takes that lead immediately (though I've not seen all these films). If it's just for humor, the LEGO guys (with President / Lord Business being first).
Mr chairman was kind of fascinating, he moved and behaved like a Cartoon Character who just lost access to their toon force abilities and is forever confined to this not amorphous meat prison. If anything id like to see him return for the Gumball Movie
As a kid Thrax terrified me. How he killed that cell on the saliva boat to this day freaks me out and I cannot watch it. The mob boss death is still gruesome, but the way that boat cell's face reacts as he slowly heats up and bubbles is absolutely horrifying.
If you one day run out of particular villains to rank, will you do hero rankings? Not necessarily every single protagonist from every movie studio, just the ones you love and disslike the most would be cool.
I’ll admit, I at least think a lot of these villains motives and actions aged… uh, well. …especially Thrax with “the elephant in the room” (You’ll probably know what I mean)
As a kid I kept expecting Mr. ACME Chairman to be revealed as a mecha driven by Pinky and the Brain.
That actually makes a lot of sense.

The fact that there were only 20 villains in Warner Bros. Animation's theatrical movies shows to me the company has had A LOT more non-theatrical than theatrical movies (and villains). Let that sink in for a moment...
Warner as a company has been around for over a hundred years. (Actually close to exactly that. Google says 1923.)
They have made hundreds of films over the last century.
I feel as though this is to be expected.
I mean that's because WB has been around since the 1920s, they have bunch of villains. They're just forgotten.

34:43 That plot point about Mojo Jojo being the Professor’s old lab monkey isn’t learned by the girls until I think season 2 or 3 of the show, which the movie is a prequel of, so the writers couldn’t really do much with it since nobody is supposed to know about that at this point.
It was season 1. The very first season.
IMO they definitely handled Garmaddon and his redemption better in the show, they didn’t make it anywhere near as complicated, it just, straight up was that he was corrupted by the great devourers venom, which made the redemption better because we know he wasn’t in control whatsoever, so him being cured and turned human again was all they needed to do.
That, and there were several moments in the show where Garmadon willingly refused to bring harm onto his family, and even went out of his way to rescue his child from dying in a volcano, AND confessed to said kid that he wasn't a good role model and that Lloyd needed to pursue his own path, as Garmadon believed he himself could not. He only ever tried to harm his family when the Overlord forced him to.
He was put in a corner with his destiny and became a tragic character you WANTED to see get saved.
counter point, movie Garmaddon is funny
@@johird9990 Eh? I can see that.
@@johird9990definitely not.
I honestly think that The Lego Ninjago Movie as a whole (and not just Garmadon) would have been a lot better if the writers from the series had written/been consulted on the script for the movie because honestly this movie doesn’t really feel like a Ninjago movie as much as it does just another Lego movie

I actually watched that Film on Tubi for the 1st time and its fantastic
One of the best Joker personas!
@@KairaSuperSayan93 I agree with you
Seeing Thrax make it so high on the list made me so happy! He’s definitely one of more underrated animated villains!
true hes literally thee WB version of Frollo
Bro is literally one of my top animated villains that gives me the jeebies - to the point I can't really watch the movie again despite how much I enjoyed it. xD
It takes a lot for animated villains to do that since I LOVE animated movies, but maaan...When you do, you know you made a quality villain!
37:49 I kid you not, the second batman said “those guys are no match for the 4 of us”, it cut to an applebees ad playing “just the two of us” by Bill Withers
I will say that I think Rex Dangervest is not only how you can make a villain who can be comedic, threatening and even a little sympathetic after watching his back story, but he is probably the best animated twist villain ever.
Disney, you should DEFINITELY take notes from this.
Rex is a pretty good twist villain but I feel like best should go to Waternoose from Monsters inc
Kent is so brilliant. You can tell Christopher MacDonald has a blast behind the microphone.
Where is the Giant mansley?!!!
Why Kent kinda
As someone who was heavily into the original show, I loved Garmadon in the Lego Ninjago movie, purely because he was a great difference from his show counterpart. Mark Oliver(the show's voice actor) was mostly menacing with very few moments of levity, while Justin Thereaux(the movie's voice actor) was more of the opposite. Due to the movie being more lighthearted fare, Garmadon was naturally going to be far less menacing, but he still had great humor as a dorky manchild with hundreds of minions and mechs behind him
Fun Fact about Kent Mansley:
He's the voice of Christopher McDonald, also known as Shooter McGavin from Happy Gilmore.
Imagine editing the rivalry scene between him and Adam Sandler's Davey Stone from Eight Crazy Nights, given a similar animation style to their respective characters. 😅
The Powerpuff Girls movie is a prequel to the OG show and there was an episode that explained the continuity issue with Mojo
7:37 - 7:45 As a matter fact: Mr Waternoose was originally going to be voiced by Kelsey Grammer in Monsters University, replacing James Coburn after his death in 2002, but the character was dropped out for unknowing reasons during the film's production. But he did made a cameo appearances in a picture at the end of the movie.
If you want some context, the Lego Ninjago Movie is based on a TV show called Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitsu. The movie is based on the storyline of the pilot episodes and the first two seasons. (For the most part) And let me tell you, it is NOT like the movie. There's a lot of differences actually. Not just that one is a movie with limited time and the other is a TV show that has the chance to flesh out all its characters and world.
No spoilers, but they also handle the Garmadon family story a lot better in my opinion, knowing that the context there is much different, and again because show, actually establishes the prejudice and unfortunate circumstances Garmadon suffered that made him the bad guy in the first place.
If you are interested, I do at least recommend the two Pilot Episodes and the first two seasons, then see how you feel about it. The earliest seasons are in my opinion the easiest ones to get into, as they flesh out so many of the characters you see in the movie, especially the other ninja. A reason why fans of the show don't care for the movie is because the six ninja are fleshed out well developed characters full of personality and dynamics with each other and the movie stripped said personalities and dynamics.
As a fan of the show, I do think the earliest seasons are at least worth one watch if you want to get into the brand, Jambareeqi.
I have to give Scwakhammer bonus points for one thing. In the dressing rooms, he says "Not you, you idiot!" and then makes one of the best faces I've ever seen in animation xD
In the original version of the Iron Giant's interrogation scene was a bit darker. Kent chloroforms Hogarth when he returns to the shed, takes him to a far away location and ties him up to a chair. His threat to take Hogarth away from his mom is also a little different. "We can make it more difficult. We can declare her... unfit. And all that that implies."
I did not know that I know there was a different script that was made in 1997 is that the one you're referring to the original script?

Fun fact: Max’s booming Scottish accent is preformed by director Mark Dindal.
34:42 Actually there is an explanation for this missed opportunity: Continuity with the TV show.
The fact that Mojo was the Professor's lab assistant was revealed in an episode "Mr. Mojo's Rising" , which established that Utonium didn't remember much stuff before the girls were born, something that Mojo tries to use to manipulate the Professor.
Yes that’s probably why. Although Jambareeqi made a review of the powerpuff girls movie many years ago, and he mentioned that there was an episode that explored the professor and mojo’s relationship more, however, there could be people who haven’t seen that episode and only saw the movie. A film usually has to work on it’s own to introduce newcomers into a show, especially considering that this film is a prequel. If something requires you to watch an episode of a show before watching a movie, that’s going to create an issue and a bit of confusion for the professor and mojo’s relationship in the film’s story.
17:04 Gotta like Muttley. His laugh is virtually identical to mine. 👍🏽👍🏽
Ruber is one of the most intimidating, ruthless and underrated animated antagonists ever. His Gryffin is also badass!
It was my favorite movie as a kid!
Anyone else find it funny that the villains of the first Space Jam movie never realize they were trick into playint a basebasket ball game when they were going to take the LT's by force.
39:32 - 39:51
As much as that scene sounded like Kent scaring Hogarth into talk, it's kind of true too. As Kent as evidence that links Hogarth to the power station accident and can probably find something to pin Hogarth at the train wreck. And if word got out that these incidents were caused by a child, the town may start showing concern to where was the child's parents in all of this. Especially since Annie told Kent that Hogarth was wandering out that night.
Therefore, Hogarth is left with the ultimatum:
Does he take the blame for the Giant's recklessness, causing causing the public to look down upon him and his mother, and CPS takes him away due to "neglectful parenting", or does he reveal where the Giant is?
Thrax is one of the best Non-Disney villains in all of animation. He is very well-designed, beautifully animated and fantastically voiced by Laurence Fishburne.
34:42 - "The movie never embraces the emotional meat of this backstory" - Well the movie can't do that because the show already did that in "Mr. Mojo's Rising" where it was spelled out to the girls and the professor Mojo's connection which even Mojo had somewhat forgotten all the details of. And as the movie is canon to the show it isn't going to go against that point so if you want that emotional story watch that episode for it.
You should watch the Lego Ninjago Show. That version of Garmadon was insanely top tier 🔥
I think the Phantasm's degin is truely perfect. Mainly for its simplicity and synergy with her smoke ability.
Fun fact: Hunter and Waternoose ALMOST shared a voice actor; as Waternoose's original VA, James Coburn, had passed away between Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University, MU was going to have a scene with a younger Waternoose voiced by Kelsey Grammer hiring promoted mailboys Mike and Sulley into the scare floor.
You should just rank every villain one day. Like all of them.
That's over 200 villians, a count of 20 already takes him almost an hour, Jambereequi would deliver an...over 8 hour long video
@@thelovingrockerboy7811 pretty sure there a more than 200 movie villains in existence since almost every movie has a villain of some sort thats gotta be like over 700,000 villains if not more maybe even in the millions
@@evenhartwick4422 personally, I thought Doodle referred to every villian Jamb's covered, but, to put a metric as an example, if every movie has an average of 2 villians, that would be 40 villians he covers in one video, also assuming he only covers 20 movies.
Now, EVERY movie in existence would put that in the millions, right? Since the concept of a longform cinematographic release has been around for far too long to be pinpointed, with the credited date for breakthrough on the medium of theatrical screenings being on 1895, VERY LATE 1895, in fact. The concept, yes, was introduced by Thomas Edison's 1891 Kinetoscope, but that's a different tale
So no, we would not be in the millions of villians. Let's assume now that 450 movies have been released every year from the 1895 to 2024, which is nearly 130 years, 450 × 130 × 2 would be...117,000 villians, sweet jumping jehosaphat.
Millions? No
An asinine amount that would take Jambereequi decades to produce? Absolutely
@@thelovingrockerboy7811 i mean i guess he wasn't specific so if just took "You should just rank every villain one day. Like all of them" as just being every villain in a movie. but i could be wrong maybe he will respond and clarify
@@evenhartwick4422 Either way, I think we all get that the point is, that would either be a REALLY long video or a really long series, and tbh, it'd be really fun to watch a series about movie's baddies, from the historical, the hypocritical and the just hyper-useless

I think playing a Villain in any TV Show, Movie or Video Game seems like Fun
Legit, if I didn't have massive stage fright and had any sort of voice talent, I would so wanna be a villain in a film! Animated is always a good one since you don't have to show your face or act (as in, do stunts, etc) yourself - just gotta be sure you can nail the character and such.
Garmadon probably isn't that great because he actually has a redemption arc in the TV series. It is a very slow one there.
I love your videos. I love the Batman villains the most. I would love to see a video on ranking the animated female dogs of the movies. Dogs like Jenna, Sasha, Rita, Dixie, Lady, Georgette, Maya, and many others.
Quest for Camalot was a movie I watched as a child. I had one of the songs stuck in my head YEARS after I watched it only ONCE.
Now that the mainline dceu is done, you should rank the villains
34:40 The movie CAN'T embrace the backstory between Mojo Jojo and Professor Utonium though, because it comes from the cartoon itself. There is an episode where Mojo being the Professor's old lab monkey is treated as a big twist, and the Professor doesn't remember him until the very end, which includes the revelation that Mojo accidentally created the girls himself.
If any of the characters acknowledged this history, it would make the film non-canon.
I can't believe you only have 26k subs! You deserve 260k!!
I love Thrax. Even though he's in the middle of a childish, even gross movie, he remains intimidating and serious, unlike some other villains who are undercut by the comedic tone of their movies. Instead we know he's the real deal - that when he's on screen the heroes are in real trouble.
What a fantastic ranking! I love your villain ranking videos! 😄

While Jason Issacs doesn’t exactly do a good impression of Paul Winchell, I think it’s still an amazing take on Dastardly on its own. He’s still campy, but he also puts in more creepy edge and sophistication.
Dick Dastardly is not that evil. All he wants is be with his dog and stole a treasure; that's it! He doesn't kill anyone or torture kids. This man just wants his best friend back, that's cute 🥰
I like the president of Acme's plan. It's weird and silly, goes well in a universe where Toons and humans lived together. It's a bit cruel to turn every humans into monkeys, forced them to build weapons than buy them. I would put him above Dick dastardly.
Yeah the same but I do found that Back in Action could have some improvements
Last time I checked, I haven’t seen the movie, but I have seen the series briefly that this was the equivalent of I think the Digimon movie where you could’ve watch the movie and completely understood this series granite was it three stories, but last time I checked, he actually did supposedly have a good redemption arc I would highly get it a watch. It was the zoomer’s version of Bionicle for the childhood of the early to mid 2010s.
Next you should rank the Universal studios villains
Honestly man you need to rank the villains of Ninjago
The Joker is not only my favorite super/comic book villain, my favorite DC character, and one of my favorite villains, but he's also one of my favorite characters of all time. Speaking of comics can you do a "top 5 best & worst episodes of X-Men the Animated Series" since its sequel series X-Men 97 is about to come out.
46:05 Also just love his design as it is a badass design for a deadly viris the tendrils on his head that look like dreadlocks and i love the badass overcoat and of course that glowing long over sized claw
Can you do Rankings of Nickelodeon movie villains?
I would love a Disney Villains ranking video
Too many Disney villains
True but I would love to see them all ranked
The crazy fact is that these villains come from Warner Bros animation theatrical. If that's not all, imagine the whole stake of all Warner Bros villains.
2:49 I personally think that Lord Garnadon/The Lego Ninjago movie as a whole would’ve got over a lot better with fans if the writers from the Ninjago tv series had written the script for The Lego Ninjago
Definitely the best series on your Channel
39:25 The fact that he’s a redhead makes it funnier.
43:38 Actually, it is. He literally murders blood cells.
Awesome ranking of Warner Bros villain list Darla Dimple Mojo jojo & Thrax
Are my favorite villains & the Phantasm is my all-time favorite villain design
And of course joker i like him two in Batman mask of the phantasm is a great movie ever made with brilliant writing and story and animation my childhood favorite !
41:49 And see why Warner brothers would also reuse her design for the Batman villain Baby Doll apart from the fact they were both based on Shirley Temple
0:30, Steven Martin had alot of Fun playing the ACME Chairman in Looney Tunes Back in Action, 15:05 same with Jason Issac playing Dick Dastardly in SCOOB, even though I still defend that Film!
Just give them the right script and they can make something hilarious and enjoyable
Excellent work as usual.
Oh, there’s a virus that will give you heart attacks on the line😅 44:06
1:42- It would've been so much more sense if he were a forgotten Looney Tunes character from the early days- would've made him more memorable and nice callbackt to Judge Doom before Turbo came along
I mean I am a much bigger fan of the Joker obviously than Phantasm, but that’s because we’ve had much more screen time with him, but even then if we don’t look at movies. Mr Freeze or Two Face will always be my favourites because of the way their stories are told, tragedies that led their lives down despicable paths.
fun fact though with the Phantasm, His voice was performed by the same actor who did Andrea's father, which was supposed to be a red herring, we were meant to think that Andrea's father was the Phantasm, especially when she sold Bruce the story about how she thought her father was in town doing the murders and came to stop him, it's only when we see all the clues put together with Joker's identity reveal and that Andrea's father was dead all along and that his killer WAS the guy who would become Joker which set her on her path of revenge
4:06 reason they went with that definitely is from influences of the show which is really good. I mean in the movie which is a seperate thing mind you, garmadon actually is a bit of tragic character. Basically an evil snake, the great devourer bit him as child and poisoned him by corrupting him into slowly becoming evil which was a gradual process which took centuries. Also it’s later revealed that the great devourer was a normal snake corrupted by the overlord who is the physical embodiment of darkness and is essentially Satan. Also the 4 arms was for him to hold all 4 golden weapons which is caused by the evil venom. So to get 4 arms he needs to go to another realm. Only thing that holds him back is his son who he abandoned as he turned evil and was banished to the underworld. Then in season 2 the overlord possesses him kind of killing him with his body being a husk and yeah he was manipulated by Satan at first before that possession. Then once the overlord was defeated garmadon had the evil removed from him and he was normal. Also his son was destined to defeat him at least initially believed to so that’s another thing. Then garmadon sacrificed himself to a cursed realm to save everyone and then that realm was destroyed. Then garmadon is resurrected but only the evil part so his good side is gone and basically had to relearn his last if I remember that last bit right.
45:50 Honest to god that line is the best he has. Lord the way Thrax gets my heart fluttering😳
Also I know he’s not the best but Ruber is one of my favorite villains, god just Gary Oldman’s voice acting was fucking *perfect!!!!*
*also Ruber kinda fine asf-*
Bro got me feeling things 🤭
@@commercialairlinerfrrrrrr Warner Bros did not need to make him *THAT* fine
I wonder if Prowler was inspired by the Phantasm
Number 1: David Zaslav. He is trying to get rid of Coyote vs Acme.
Plus the hundreds of productions that got cancelled for easy tax write offs, terrible treatment to workers, how he deleted the hell out of many CN shows, how poorly he treated the Looney Tunes overall (the literal most FUCKING important piece of media of Warner btw), and (not trying to sound like DVD commercials) many, many, MANY more! Truly a vile character!
31:05 I also like how at the end of the movie Her two most loyal henchmen Mark and Keith actually start to realize that Lulu isn't a nice person And they redeem themselves by helping Krypto defeat her with Mark being Adopted by Cyborg and Keith Who now has hydroconesis is Adopted by Aquaman
43:50 You may think it looks shocking, but as a person who loves pathology, I think it looks gorgeous.
Jam does it again
I loved how in Batman Mask of the Phantasm we got to see what Joker was like before he became the Clown Prince of Crime. throughout the Batman Multiverse there are different backstories to Joker
The thing is that in the Ninjago Show is was actually explained a bit better and less of a turn and explained how Garmadon became evil and then turned good again. As well as how Lloyd became good.
I feel there were a few villains that were left out of the discussion, from the ones that appeared in the Scooby-Doo movies, Zombie Island, Witches Ghost, Alien Invasion, and Cyber Chase, the two Don Bluth movies that Warner Bros did distributed in the 90's, Thumbelina and A Troll in Central Park, the villain that appeared in the Pokémon 2000 (and I suppose the First Movie even though MewTwo was clearly blinded by hate then finally open his eyes to what he was about to do), etc.
goddamn i forgot how menacing Thrax is but seriously
why is he so goddamn sexy
IM SAYING LIKE 😭
20:43 Also I just love President Business' design under the guise of Lord Buissnes As I really like how his helmet and cape give him the appearance of a giant neck tie And I will say that it was clever of him to hire a corrupt cop with Multiple personality disorder to lead his Black Ops team of Robots While having them based in every single of the worlds besides Bricksburg As that tells you how big his empire really is plus Will Ferrell rather entertaining as this egotistical politician
Lego Joker is somehow a more comic book accurate depiction of the clown Prince of crime than Jared Leto's take! 😂😂😂
Yeah, that’s funny that’s not Dan Aykroyd that’s Bill Murray
I love the fact than in the Justice league Unlimited last episode you see what this Path made her become
A mercenary that kills people for money
19:09- it's really the mechanical minions, but especially Bladebeak- the concept in general being more interesting than Ruber himself.
Garmadon in the Show: "I yearned to make the world in my image. I never realized I already had, in you."
Garmadon in the Film: *A JOKE*
Honestly, I am happy with Mojo’s place on this list! I loved him so much in the movie! And personally, I think we could give him a pass on his backstory with Utonium not being explored since the movie is a prequel to the show and they focus on that in an episode where he reveals this and the Professor barely remembered him aside from having a monkey lab partner named Jojo. That’s always been a down side of making prequels. Certain opportunities have to be ignored for the sake of continuity. That’s not on the fault of the villain.
21:56 i agree As you can tell that doing this is actually hurting Bad Cop deep down as we get a very good idea that he loves his parents
I think the reason they never dived into the emotional part of Mojo jojo's history is because the writers didn't want to risk undermining how that history was a big reveal in the show, had they left clues or tried to explore it here it would have been either undercooked because they had to restrict themselves from revealing too much or it would have contradicted the reveal in the show and undermine that
I think in the Ninjago movie, Lloyd should have been eaten by the cat instead. That way Garmadon could actually realize what effects his horrible parenting could have on him. It feels much more full circle than their attempt to make Garmadon a redemptive villain.
Here’s my ranking.
20: Schwackhammer: His plan to enslave The Looney Tunes for a theme park is ridiculous. He ordered his minions to steal talents from famous basketball players. Stealing talents is cheating. The only things I like are how he’s money obsessed and Danny DeVito voices him.
19: Acme Chairman: His plan to turn people into monkeys is no too shabby. Perhaps some seriousness should go great.
18: Lord/President Business: He’s not the same in The Lego Movie 2. I do like how he redeems himself in the first movie.
17: Lord Garmadon: The Lego Ninjago Movie kinda should’ve portrayed him better, but I like his humor overall.
16: Terrance Mendoza: IDK about you, but envy is something that can give a villain the drive to become influenced, broken, or just pure evil. I can relate to Terrance because I struggle with online matches on Smite and Splatoon 3. Guy’s only got a few traits that make him a little too nice to be a bad guy and one of them is that he’s kind and polite to his clients.
15: Slade (TTGTTM): He finally shows up after being MIA from the series. I’m at bottom level of the grey area level neutral about Teen Titans Go. Teen Titans is much more mature. Slade is a dangerous foe. Even more so in the original. He is different however. Plot twist villains aren’t always that much to me overtime.
14: Pigeon Toady: He’s a socially awkward nutcase who rats the heroes out. Not to mention that he’s not really that much of a villain.
13: Dick Dastardly: (in my geek out mode considering that he’s seen on Boomerang all the time) Dang! Dick Dastardly just got a glow up!! Holy chalupa supreme!!!! His voice is so deep!!!! (In my normal commentary mode) his CGI adaptation is phenomenal and I have to see that movie, but I’m not sure why he’s the main antagonist of Scoob. Sure I can understand his motives, but seriously, I didn’t expect that.
12: Lord Ruber: Okay, despite Nostalgia Critic reviewing this movie already, I can tell that Ruber is edgy looking. Did I forget to mention the whole shoddy redemption seen of Bladebeak? Ugh! Lord Ruber steals the show.
11: AL-G RHYTHM: They didn’t have to make a Space Jam 2 in Cyberspace, but deleting The Tune Squad if they lose is going way too far. At least he’s gone and reduced to atoms in the end. This guy is one villain who I don’t think should be messed with.
10: Rex Dangervest: 5 words: Way better than Lord Business! Alternate evil versions of us from the future are not what they seem when they hide their identities from us. They pretend to be good, but then make us do bad things so that the future can be grim and dystopian.
9: Hunter: That battle mech that he uses to destroy the factory is just badass. I should see the movie sometime.
8: Lulu: More proof that Lex Luthor is a conniving and evil madman. Lulu has a motive like Rex Dangervest. Villains are either influenced, broken or pure evil. For Lulu’s case, she is both broken and pure evil.
7: LEGO Joker: I know that Joker and Batman have this bitter rivalry, but c’mon. It is blatantly obvious that Joker cares about Batman to an extent. I don’t have anything against The LEGO Batman Movie, but without it, we wouldn’t have gotten LEGO Batman’s glowing eyes in the Second Lego Movie. Is it just me or is The Lego Batman Movie connected?
6: Kent Mansley: Where do I begin? (Inhales) HE IS STINKING COWARD AND FULL OF PREJUDICE!!! Ahem! Try reading my rage and commentary for Kent Mansley in Nostalgia Critic and Hades’ voice. So yeah, he’s hilarious to laugh at, but that scene where he commands the guys in the battleships to fire at the city is where the final nail in the coffin is placed for his character.
5: Mojo Jojo: Now that I know his backstory, I’m at an extreme loss for words. His plan to make an army left me laughing my butt off when it backfired. I haven’t seen the rest of it, but I have to see how it goes in the end.
4: Darla Dimple: All I have to say is she’s pretty much intimidating when angry. I’d rather not let my cool go out the door that fast. Also, couldn’t she get a bodyguard with brains and muscle. I’d rather have that handled as well.
3: Joker (Mask of The Phantasm): Batman TAS Joker is one incarnation of The Joker that you’ll have to look out for. His lair being an abandoned amusement park ride is actually a good place for a lair if you were The Joker.
2: Phantasm: One thing I don’t like about this villain is all the frameups on Batman. I was expecting Phantasm to be a guy, but a woman!? That’s crazy!
1: Thrax: Thrax is a villain so dangerous that he is pretty much deadly and pure evil. I watched Osmosis Jones a bunch of times and overtime, I really got the big picture. Viruses are dangerous and Thrax proves that to all of us.

Gary Oldman’s strange microphone chewing performance doesn’t help that much either, as it just adds to the far fetched idea that Ruber is part of these knights.
I love that Thrax's section is really labelled Frank, even if it's a mistake. Because it is objectively Frank that caused Thrax to enter him. There is literally no denying he was his own downfall, and he got worse before Ozzy and Drix left his body in the cartoon so it's freaking wild that they even tried in the movie in hindsight. Frank is a lost cause. I'd say he's be a good organ donor if his organs failing from illness wasn't going to be his primary cause of death.

Maybe I'm just simply easy to please but Garmaddon and President Business were some of my faves. I fell in love with the LEGO Movie from the animated aspects alone, but then he was just such a fun character for some reason. And while I've never been into Ninjago, I just love how he's designed. LEGO Joker is my fave Joker as well, though I was never into superhero movies in general - and I didn't care for the OG or modern Jokers.
Of course, Business will always be my first fave. :P
Omg, I forgot that Thrax had a name other "Red Death". I forgot what he even looked like, lol! He's definitely one of my top "Villains that Gives me the Most Creeps", along with Zira from Lion King 2 and Buzz Lightyear of Star Command's version of Zurg (those eyes, honestly). But I actually had an OC inspired by him, as well as myself getting sick (not with the same sickness, but still). Thinking of it...I may have to design another char after him - I have been on a "trench coat and sharp claw" kick lately...Though claws aren't abnormal for me to add.
Regarding who my faves are, I'd honestly say it depends on what we're going by. Like when it gets to just how evil they are, Thrax takes that lead immediately (though I've not seen all these films). If it's just for humor, the LEGO guys (with President / Lord Business being first).
I legit laughed hard af at the disguise scene 😂
Darla Dimple was an amazing villain, inspired on Shirley Temple. Big and loud is a great villain song
Mr chairman was kind of fascinating, he moved and behaved like a Cartoon Character who just lost access to their toon force abilities and is forever confined to this not amorphous meat prison. If anything id like to see him return for the Gumball Movie
2:49 at this moment we knew nostalgia can't help
As a kid Thrax terrified me. How he killed that cell on the saliva boat to this day freaks me out and I cannot watch it. The mob boss death is still gruesome, but the way that boat cell's face reacts as he slowly heats up and bubbles is absolutely horrifying.
Banging list my friend 😊
i just watched osmosis jones in science class. cool to hear other people know it
If you one day run out of particular villains to rank, will you do hero rankings? Not necessarily every single protagonist from every movie studio, just the ones you love and disslike the most would be cool.

I think only a brad bird movie would do a joke like that. And it's hilarious.
Slade is one of my favourite warner bros villains as he's intimating and evil at the same time he's the perfect enemy for the teen titans!
I’ll admit, I at least think a lot of these villains motives and actions aged… uh, well.
…especially Thrax with “the elephant in the room”
(You’ll probably know what I mean)
