[@AnimeKat8849]

Matt Letscher definitely deserves to be way higher on the list, he's an amazing actor and an amazing villain So does Neal Mcdonough.. Like.. He does Damien Darhk so well, Arrow s4 had poor writing but he got his chance on Legends

Tom, he plays multiple versions of Wells, and he plays each one in such a amazing and believable feel.

[@rockypikmin4493]

Grant did a really good villain in my opinion and DeVoe had an absolutely phenomenal actor

[@TalkativeGoofball]

Manu bennett as deathstroke i think is the best cause everytime i see another deathstroke being played i just get so sad that manu Bennett isn't him. Although the rest may be better actors in other aspects like wells, chase and merlyn i would still be able to see them being cast by someone else

[@itamar20112]

I would have put Ra's between Reverse-Flash and DeVoe. I don't think the character is between those 2, but one of the main reasons I disagree with the people who say that he's a bad villain is because of the acting. I'm not comparing him to Liam Neeson because the 2 played very different versions of the character, and I've never watched Gotham, but he's AMAZING in the role. He's so menacing, and when I watch him I really do believe I'm seeing a leader of a dangerous assasins group, who is extremly good at fighting. I see why all the members of the league afraid of that guy, and I wouldn't buy all of that if not for the acting. Also, for me, Emiko is at dead last. Probably the worst actress/actor in the Arrowverse (outside of extras and MAYBE outside of kids). Even before she was a villain she didin't show any emotion. But when Emiko became a villain, oh my god... At least the actors of Rhea and Vandal Savage (btw I am too lazy to check the actor's names so I'm just calling them by their characters) were a little convincing and I can see that they were just asked to play the characters like that. But Emiko, her acting is probably at the level of school plays.

[@bencepokasz6873]

For me Matt Letscher is the perfect Eobard Thawne. When Eddie kills himself in S01 and Barry finally meets the real Thawne is just perfect. I think he should have played Thawne in all the other seasons. I mean, the only thing I can think of is that CW didn’t want to hire another person for the role.

It’s a shame the writers handled Devoe the way they did. Neil’s performances were always great, and he could have shined even brighter than he already did, had he played Devoe for the entire season.
