Fans are trying and doing the impossible by naming the best movie villain

Twitter is abuzz with users trying to name the greatest movie villain of all time.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences fueled the debate asking, “Who is the greatest villain in movie history?” “. Initial options were Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader from the star wars franchise, Heath Ledger as the Joker from The black Knightand Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter from Thesilenceofthelambsafter Hannibaland prequel Red Dragon.

Right off the bat, users weren’t too happy with the Academy naming Hayden Christensen Vader at the expense of James Earl Jones and David Prowse.

It’s so disrespectful to credit Hayden Christensen with performing Darth Vader instead of James Earl Jones.

If you want to get technical, the late David Prowse played Vader through the original trilogy.

Luckily, plenty of other people ignored Vader’s feud to vote.

Darth Vader and it’s not close

Vader, we still talk about it forty years later and we still love him, he is a villain adored by generations of fans.

1. Lecter (the part where he blows Ray Liotta’s brains out will always stay with us all) RIP Ray
2. Vader. His presence is/was impeccable. But he finally came to light.
3. Heath Ledger as The Joker. His character was the hero of The Dark Knight IMO.

As for villains not on the Academy’s shortlist, users named (among many others) Joaquin Phoenix’s sneering Commodus from Gladiator, Harry Potter couple Lord Voldemort and Dolores Umbridge, the blue-eyed devil by Henry Fonda Frank de Once upon a Time in the West, There is no country for old peopleAnton Chigurh’s bowl lover, Christoph Waltz’s Oscar winner Inglourious Basterds the villainous Hans Landa, The Patriot‘s Col. William Tavington (tastefully played by Jason Isaacs), Ezra Miller’s titular terror of We need to talk about KevinAngela Lansbury’s malevolent turn in the 1962 classic The Manchu Candidateand the sadist by Louise Fletcher Flight over a cuckoo’s nest antagonist Nurse Ratched.

Antoine Starr from The boys the celeb even weighed in by declaring the debate “impossible,” which only encouraged fans to single out the actor’s unsettling turn as Homelander, even though the original tweet specified “cinema.”

They have the audacity to NOT correct themselves to include Homelander on this list. sth

Ok, but then a streaming series is technically not cinema? It’s a thin line, okay, but if it wasn’t played in a movie theater and is within the 2 hour running time of your standard cinema fare, that could be the reason…

—Stephen Goss (@essgoss) June 11, 2022

It’s an argument that’s been raging for decades already, and one that certainly won’t be resolved by Twitter devotees. If Homelander matters, however, Will Smith’s performance on the 94th Oscars broadcast should also be considered.
