Film Guru Lad's Top Movie Villains: Part 5

Here we are in another post from me as Rad Dingo. It is the last part of the top evildoers shown to have no remorse and could do those monstrously bad things that made us hate them. So these are the final three that will end at the top spot of the list, and if you haven't known any of these film villains, prepare for a shocking surprise of evil treachery.

If you missed the last parts of this list, you can (click here for part one), (part two), (part three), and (part four) check on the other entries.

#3. Scar (The Lion King)

Not all villains are in live-action
movies. Some are even in

animated features. When it
comes to family members
plotting against their relatives,
Scar is at the forefront. This
vain, cunning, deceptive,

and power-hungry lion has
committed many atrocities.

His evil acts include murdering

his brother Mufasa so he can

become king and deceiving his

nephew, etc. Unlike the other

Disney villain, Maleficent, who

has no intentions of obtaining

power through stealing one's

right to rule, Scar does whatever

he can to fulfil these ambitions.

English actor Jeremy Irons gave a terrifying, ghastly voice to this ferocious feline, and Scar is just one of the few Disney villains that get away with their plans until they get their deserts.

#2. The Joker (The Dark Knight)

One of Batman's greatest

enemies, The Joker, is an

insane psychopathic

clown who murders people

and plans to plunge Gotham

City into anarchy. Unlike the
comic's origins, this
murderous mastermind
hasn't had his whole skin
bleached by toxic chemicals.
He's shown to be wearing
makeup and having scars

on parts of his mouth to

match the character's twisted grin. He has no redemption, as he has zero empathy. This definitive portrayal of the character was disturbing and dark, with the acting of the late Heath Ledger. It is one of the last roles he performed, and what a massive role for him to have as a swan song. Ledger received an Oscar win posthumously, and I might keep this version on the list instead of other interpretations of the Joker.

#1. Darth Vader (Star Wars)

And finally, the best movie
villain of all time, who
is also the best character
in Star Wars..., is Darth

Vader. He is Luke's

estranged father, which

is one of the biggest

twists of all time and

makes him a compelling

villain. This dark lord's

evil deeds included

exterminating the Jedi, like

the younglings, force-choking

minor Imperial officers to death for failure and incompetence, and inflicting torture on Han Solo and others. Vader wears a special suit and helmet that keep him alive and breathing. Because of a fight with his former master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, causing him to sustain burns from lava on Mustafar, he gets mechanical limbs that turn him more machine than man. Darth Vader is not only the greatest of all the film adversaries but someone you don't want to tick off and doesn't accept any apologies.
