Evil Male Divas [don't you know I still believe?]

This song has existed for, what, a week? And I knew my solemn mission that must be completed
It honestly just...encompasses the energy of what I love in specific male villains. Dudes who could have Britney cover energy. And that was the theme, that's it, it's not deeper than that
Anyway, we have some new folks that I haven't spoken of so let's do the rundown!
-Norman's kind of a gamble - I don't yet know if I'm thaaaaaat attached to him, but TBH vidding him is a way to find out. What I do know is that I have been trying to catch up on my classic scary movies, and after watching Psycho, I just sat there like "THAT GUY IS A FRIGGING DORK." Apparently later reboots of the franchise tried to make him serious? Nah, man, this is a guy who literally sank thousands of dollars into a lake because he did a panic murder, and who, upon being interrogated by the cops, basically acted so guilty that they figured out he did it right away. And problematic as it may be...you know how I do love when villains play with gender presentation. Anyway, probably my favorite of the actual classic horror movie villains (excluding fellas like Roat or, uh, Steven Wilkins from Trick'r'Treat DON'T ASK)
-You may have figured out I'm on a bit of a TFA high. Slo-Mo and Nanosec are FAR from the only villains I picked up because THAT SHOW'S ROGUES GALLERY IS SO GOOD, Y'ALL. IT'S SO GOOD. Anyway. I feel like zero percent of you are surprised that Starscream and Blitzwing are the two faves I came away with. And I do still ship them, and I intend to at some point deliver you a quality BlitzStar shipvid but the problem is the only audio I have for them right now is memes and crack because the entire point of the ship is that they're both living sh*tposts (plus hidden bonus angst I put there myself)
-A many thanks to ‪@WhoaFreeman‬ for helping me to revisit the first Ace Attorney game, or at least the final bonus case of it - you all saw me dig up April May, but I'd forgotten how much I adore DAMON GANT. (Spoilers for an old game?) Like. His aesthetic. His breakdowns. How he acts all goofy and friendly until you realize he's the biggest twist villain in the entire thing. I don't for a minute think he'll stay Lawful Evil; he's jaded now and actual criminals can sway him to the Darker Side. Gant has tasted blood and craves more
-I did not get into Rayman for villains. I got into Rayman FOR RAYMAN. He's adorable and I love him and maaaaybe vids of him and the crackship I got for him? But anyway I'm going along enjoying the adventures of this silly purehearted boi when a red-hatted scalie with a gun shows up to hunt the protagonist for sport and my heart eyes turn on full blast. Count Razoff my beloved. HERE COMES CANNONBALL BILL. Look, Ubi had to know he was going to be a dark horse because TWO of the R3 minigames have him as playable, that's no accident
-Yeah I'm still on about Dan McNeely. Fun villains come in all sorts of media packages
-Whoooof after putting Masson from CoC in my Gorey Demise vid, I realized that I had to get at least one of my other two boys from that anthology in a vid at some point. Joe Allen (which I fully believe is his official name because he obviously chose it for himself) was so fun. That episode was HARD to watch but it was worth it for his sheer depravity. If you ever do watch it, trigger warning for EVERYTHING but he's just such a wicked fella and he's having fun and therefore I managed to slap in the only 0.5 second of footage I could scrap for him
-DON'T LET SLEIPNIR HARBARD DIE 2K24
-Graham Specter really shouldn't have been in this video thrice, but I have CONTINUOUSLY shorted him for screentime in the other multi-tribs and I kinda just was vibing with him so I was like, yeah, he gets this today
-Fun fact: Ragdoll was originally part of this lineup, but was omitted because all my WHAM/villain fave vids are focused on my wild fanfic AU, and in that, Ragdoll may be a "he" on occasion but he is very nonbinary! I should find an excuse to do enby villains at some point, get Double Trouble in on that action
Simps welcome. Simping allowed. Simping ENCOURAGED.

As someone who is part of the Britney Army since 2008 and like the original song, I am struggling which version I like, but hearing I like BOTH VERSIONS!

[@gordhanx]

When I heard those opening notes, I was hoping we'd get this version of the song! You did NOT disappoint! This was unbelievably fun! Great to see you old faves in here along with some new faces too!

[@darkdatch8791]

This was both amusing and epic at the same time, well done!

[@Toonmaster707]

Another great video showing off fun and charismatic villains. I especially love the bit with Don Karnage and his crew and how it felt so in sync with the song.

[@GPischke]

I liked that brief shot of The Amazing Mondo.

God bless you for this

Since you've enjoyed Transformers Animated thus far, might if I recommend the next Transformers series you check out be either the Beast Wars/Machines duology or the original 80's Transformers G1 series?

What is Britney cover energy exactly?
