Comments by "Morgan King" (@MorganKing95) on "Top 10 Iconic Movie Villains" video.

  1. Darth Vader is iconic and easily recognized though
    2
  2. But this list is about most iconic villains, and the Wicked Witch of the West has been referenced, quoted, and imitated for several years, as well as being played by several actresses in several adaptations. She also appears on the AFI 50 villains list at #4. And everybody should recognize her

  3. dotdotdot​ Biased, much? or are you just butthurt?
    2
  4. "All agree"? NOPE!

  5. The film is too recent, and it's mostly Tarantino fans who know who he is. Iconic villains are those who are being referenced and imitated several times, who appear on several top lists, and are one of the things people think of when they hear about the movie. They are also those villains who almost everyone recognize, even if they have not seen the film

  6. This is "Iconic", not "Best"

  7. Pretty much, yes

  8. I agree, I think Ralph Fiennes often tried way too hard to be scary and snake-like, but most of the time, he either sounded like a Vito Corleone ripoff or a dying old man, and some of his lines were just unintentionally funny. Voldemort in the first movie wasn't so bad though, and Ralph Fiennes is ok in the role when he just keeps his mouth shut

  9. ***** I like your interpretation, but I just don't think his acting fits in with it. Sure, Ralph Fiennes follows his direction to every single detail and knows how to make an entrance and establish his character, his physical actions are focused and well-thought out, he has a natural authority, he has great presence most of the time, there is always a process between each line exchange, and he brings out the almighty-powerfulness of Voldemort. However, there is a way to show endurance and willingness to to kill the main character without having to sound like you are at the nursing home, or sounding like Don Vito. Much of this can be accomplished in just the physical action and relying on presence. One thing that I liked about Voldemort was him being mysterious; in the first movie, he was cloaked most of the time and was usually just mentioned until we finally saw his face, and I thought it made him frightening. Ralph Fiennes also accomplished to bring out the mysteriousness of Voldemort when we saw him "The Goblet of Fire" and "The Order of the Phoenix" (where also his voice was satisfactory), but I just don't feel it in the last two movies. All in all, that weird laugh, funny facial expressions, and weak voice just make him unintentionally annoying to me instead of intimidating and mysterious.

  10. +Thiagu Raja His character name is Anton Chigurh

  11. No, they were right. It's pronounced "Rafe". You can check it out on either his Wikipedia page or his IMDB page (under trivia)

  12. Yes, but how many people have actually seen or even heard about Cliffhanger? Iconic villains are those who are being imitated and referenced to all the time, are instantly recognized, and are well-known to people whether they have seen the movie or not

  13. Watch the upload date
    1
  14. As much as he is an amazing villain, he isn't that recognizable for those who don't know who Daniel Day-Lewis is, and the film itself is not considered among Martin Scorsese's best
    1
  15. He is too recent to become iconic yet
    1
  16. He's not really that iconic though
    1
  17. +Clark Kent In all fairness, the video was for top 10 iconic villains, not top 10 villain performances
    1
  18. Clark Kent Did you read my comment? (or your own for that matter). This is a list for most iconic villains, and Joker is generally more recognizable and famous than Hannibal Lecter. If this was a list for the best villain performances however, then Anthony Hopkins probably would have been above Heath Ledger

  19. Calvin Candie? Seriously?

  20. +Inbar Gerbat He's not a villain

  21. Kartikaye Prasad Raoul Silva isn't that iconic compared to the James Bond villains Goldfinger and Blofeld
    1
  22. This is about who is the most iconic, and The Wicked Witch of the West is definitely the most iconic of the two
    1
  23. That's how Ralph Fiennes himself pronounces it as well. (Quote "It's 'Rafe' actually")
    1
  24. David Fuentes It's pronounced "Rafe Fiennes" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Fiennes

  25. Bane is not that iconic
    1
  26. This is for ICONIC villains, and Hans Landa really isn't that well-known to people who are not Tarantino fans. Everybody knows who Joker is since he's constantly getting referenced, parodied, and exposed in popular culture and because he's often considered the most popular character every time he appears

  27.  @Anubis-xk4ht  Something can be iconic and still be ridiculous or bad. Just look at the crane kick in "The Karate Kid" for example
    1
  28.  @Anubis-xk4ht  The concept of an icon is shallow and commercial anyway. Again, this is most iconic and not "best" Icon: "a very famous person or thing that is used by society to represent a set of beliefs or a way of life" Whether Joker is considered the BEST villain or not is up to debate, but he's definitely one of the most iconic villains of all time; everyone knows who he is, everybody thinks "comic book villain" or "Batman" when they hear that name, everyone knows the design, and everybody knows at least one quote or is familiar with his voice, and he's appeared in multiple magazines and top lists. If anything, an icon is comparable to a brand like Coca Cola. I don't think Harry Potter, Mickey Mouse, or Bugs Bunny are fleshed-out at all, but they're definitely iconic and represent major parts of pop culture

  29. Hans Landa isn't that iconic except to Tarantino-fans

  30. Hans Landa is pretty much only iconic to Tarantino fans, and Loki's too recent

  31. Villain with cool swagger was first popularized by Vincent Price in the 50's
    1
  32. Nobody really knows about him except the Tarantino fanbase
    1
  33. Really only popular with Tarantino fans

  34. He's really only iconic to Tarantino fans

  35. Cobra Kai didn't exist yet, and his role in the original trilogy wasn't really that iconic (Miyagi was a lot more iconic due to his training methods and "Wax on, Wax off" quote)
    1
  36.  @gregmeecham5903  He was in the original trilogy, but he didn't have much of a personality or presence compared to his appearance in "Cobra Kai", and he was overshadowed by Mr. Miyagi as a character despite the latter not being the villain. Heck, until "Cobra Kai", I barely heard anyone say his name; most people just referred to him as "that mean karate teacher" or something similar. There's also a reason why he's never appeared on any major list for top villains, whereas villains like Darth Vader, Joker, Hannibal Lecter, Hal 9000, Freddy Krueger, Wicked Witch, Norman Bates, Palpatine, Terminator, and even Voldemort and Hans Landa, seem to pop up everywhere. Not to mention how many Blofeld parodies there are out there

  37. This is for most ICONIC villains, not the most evil ones
