    What I love about Captain Dubois from Madagascar 3 is the fact that she's such a simple villain with no sad backstory, just wanted a Lion for her collection and yet the filmmakers made her into some sort of Terminator killing machine in hunting the animals which makes her such a badass, scary and entertaining villain in DreamWorks history. Hans Zimmer's amazing music for her really helps a lot too and you can just tell Frances McDormand had a lot of fun voicing her

      It turns out she is more than just an animal controlling officer, she’s a poacher. doesn't care about her job as animal control officer! All she does is poach animals just for the sport of it! DuBois had no intention of bringing the animals back to the New York City Zoo in the first place. (the crowd gasps) She was secretly planning on killing the animals just so she could skin them and mount their heads on the walls as trophies in her home! She's more than just an animal control officer, she's a poacher! A deranged lunatic that hunts and kills animals for her own twisted amusement! She even kills endangered animals!

    Lord Shen from KFP 2 is undoubtedly the best villain in the Dreamworks films in my opinion! The fact that he committed genocide against the Panda’s was absolutely cruel. The way he carries himself, being high, mighty, and menacing only fuels the cool factor of his character, including how he and Po are connected in their stories. Plus, he is a skilled peacock warrior. 🦚 ⚔️

      ​@@ErasureeraserWell, you don't need a strong villain to be great. You need a villain that is actually smart, cunning and actually threatening and intimidating. The villain's name was Grimmel btw. I like how Grimmel raises actual stakes every time he appears on screen or when he actually talks too. From his first appearance, to Hiccup's house, to him knowing that Hiccup will be heading north, all of it. I also like how he is a parallel to Hiccup. It's like if Hiccup killed the Night Fury that day but Hiccup didn't because he actually cared and Grimmel just almost wiped out the entire species. F. Murray did a fantastic job with his voice. And I think he is the only villain that actually wins even at his death.

    Kai is an amazing villain in terms of presentation in Kung Fu Panda 3.

    Out of all the HTTYD villains listed on this list they should’ve also included Dagur & Johann
    Dagur started off as a crazed warlord who’s unpredictability & determination can bring fear & intimidation towards his foes. Plus throughout the rest of the series he’s slowly became more of an antihero as we learn more about his background & the growth he developed in learning about his father & bonded with his sister Heather.
    Then there’s Johann, he was an antagonist that NO ONE saw coming!😱
    Like Viggo & Grimmel, Johann is extremely cunning & calculative. However unlike those two, Johann knew how to play the long game in getting what he wants. He spent his years masquerading as a timid & annoying seafaring man traveling port to port to trade goods & being a loyal ally & friend to Hiccup & his loved ones, but in reality he’s a thief whom steals & murders other sailors & perceived their adventure stories as his own to cover his tracks while also abusing the Hooligan tribes trust to get what he desired the most, the king of dragons. His use of emotional manipulation managed to threw off Hiccup & his father & nearly succeeded in obtaining his life’s goal.

    Ian McShane's voice acting hits all the right notes for a good villain: against most opponents, Tai Lung is smug, confident and assured, but with Shifu, he gives way to fury as he confronts his foster father about his role in all this.

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Ralph Fiennes brings his villainous charm to Ramses. Ian McShane plays Tai Lung as a tragic villain. Gary Oldman creates another memorable villain in Lord Shen. Jude Law brings eeriness to Pitch Black. Djimon Hounsou makes Drago Bludvist so terrifying.

  • @optimusprime5945

    Lord Shen is one of the best DreamWorks villains thanks to his gorgeous design and how complex he is as a character. Though he presents himself as a mighty warlord, at his core he is a scarred peacock who cannot move past the trauma of being rejected by his family.

  • @joheljimenez696
    @joheljimenez696 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Lord Shen, you really messed up and knowing that he overheard his destiny and that he went out of his way to destroy all Panda's was not cool Po's backstory always brings a tear to my eye

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What makes Lord Shen such a fantastic villain is the tragedy of his character. At his core, all he longs for is happiness and self-acceptance, but he is too scarred by the past to accept what has happened and instead focus on the present moment. This leads him to pursue bigger and better conquests in the hope that they will fill the hole in his heart.

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What makes Lord Shen a dangerous enemy on the battlefield is because of his strategic planning and weapons expertise. Lord Shen is especially proficient with gunpowder and his proficiency with the ingredient pushes him to build a huge cannon to conquer all of China.

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What makes Hal Stewart so dangerous as Tighten is that he takes a liking to his newly transformed self and gains a sense of empowerment from it. Tighten does not shy away from the disposal of his enemies in order to achieve his goals, which speaks to how he readily puts ego and power above empathy.

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Gary Oldman expertly captures Shen's gleefully evil personality and remorseless behavior whenever he demonstrates his advanced weaponry or makes manipulative attempts against Po. Shen was proof that Gary Oldman can excel in both animation and live-action when portraying villains.

    Tai Lung is a martial arts master who usually fights physically and can take a lot of punishment. Lord Shen relies on his intelligence, speed, hidden throwing knives and cannons to fight. Kai is a supernatural being who uses chi to attack.

  • @optimusprime5945
    @optimusprime5945 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Tai Lung is an interesting villain for demonstrating the dangers of pride. All he cared about was being the best, and when that was denied to him, he refused to be humble and rather gave into wrath until he was given what he wanted. Ian McShane gives Tai Lung the right amount of arrogance and emotional pain in his voice.

    Top 3 (In my opinion):
    1. Lord Shen
    2. Pitch Black
    3. Captain Chantel Dubois
    These villains each have their style of being wicked and crucial to the worlds around of them, but Lord Shen is the most villainous because of how he sees his fate and what lead him to the dark side. I Imagine myself in the movie against Lord Shen, where I lose my right eye while fighting him (according to the time when this movie came out, I would've been 10 years old!).

Overall the picks are well matched with the villains.
