Major Spoilers Question of the Day: Worst Movie Villain EVER Edition

By Matthew Peterson on October 8, 2019 3 Comments

This week’s episode featured a discussion of which movie villain was the very worst movie villain of all time, with candidates including Hans Gruber, Voldemort and Mirand Priestly from ‘The Devil Wears Prada.’ They’re all good options, sure, but are they really superior to Darth Vader? Or Unicron? Or Hedly Lamarr? Are they more nefarious than Dr. No, more off-putting than Dr. Giggles, more terrifying than Dr. Hans Reinhardt? Actually, now that you mention it, I’ve officially got MY vote, leading to today’s perfidious query…

The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) reminds Faithful Spoilerites that there’s a lot of evil in the world, but not every bad guy is literally, canonicaly sent to hell at the end of their tale, asking: What film bad guy is the worst movie villain EVER?

Ruthless efficiency! An almost fanatical devotion to pop culture! And a nice red uniform.

That Austin Powers villain. Don’t remember the name, don’t care. Don’t find those movies funny, just unappealing.

Worst written or Worst acted? Unfortunately, they outnumber the really wicked villains that challenge the hero.
