Sil from Species, Zemo from Civil War and Mr Glass

[@srstriker6420]

Also I forgot to mention Swan from the Phantom of the Paradise, Snakehead from Jackie Chan the medallion and Bart from Unleashed the Jet Li movie

[@Joshr9501]

sorry mojo but 2000 is actually the last year of the 20th century. #1 dosen't count.

[@sugreev2001]

So glad you included Robin Williams from Insomnia. I absolutely love that movie. Along with that and Memento made me a Nolan fan. I’m not a big fan of post-Interstellar Nolan though.

[@F0NZ13]

Stardust is so underrated. I adore that movie.

[@DragonHeart613]

Stardust is the modern day Princess Bride.

[@F0NZ13]

@@DragonHeart613 hmm, never thought of it like that

[@Mightyblackcats]

its a crime how underrated this is

[@michaelmonthey5974]

Robin Williams played a villain TWICE in 2002. Insomnia and One Hour Photo. Both chilling thrillers!

[@soundone1502]

He also played a villain in 2008 Law And Order SVU

[@srstriker6420]

This is why he should have been the Riddler

[@mrflawless1165]

Bruh... Pan's Labyrinth and Stardust is a comfort movie of mine and I just watched Stardust yesterday. Glad it's getting some love.

[@thereallg4587]

*The creeper from jeepers creepers is definitely underrated.*

[@knightwolf9863]

I agree. This MOFO had a lot of potential, but dammit the writers didn’t put much work in…some areas that could’ve been improved to make The Creeper stand out.

[@mikegarcia7986]

Hell ya!! Scary Freaky!!

[@denyol2846]

the product of a convicted pedo/child molester

[@Caffeine_Club]

Not half as scary as the director.

[@user-ln6in5sm8v]

😝

[@YolandaAnneBrown95726]

Thank you for showing love to Harrison Ford's dark turn in "What Lies Beneath" (It's in my library). People may always consider Ford to play heroic characters, he's done dark before in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Conversation".

[@introvertsrock9843]

What lies beneath was surprisingly good

[@MediaChristianFanatic]

So glad that Steve (The Italian Job) and Alma Coin (THG: Mockingjay Part 2) are Honorable Mentions. Edward Norton and Julianne Moore nailed their respective roles as villains.

[@srstriker6420]

I’m so glad you put in Mission Impossible 3 and Jeepers Creepers in here

[@palomadelaine1]

I agree on Captain Vidal! Scary! and just one or two others

[@CORD1BUS]

Jim Carrey’s Count Olaf is absolutely legendary

[@sparrow420500]

You forgot Galadriel, specifically from Rings of Power, Helena Shaw, from Dial of Dysentery Wanda, from MCU, and Rachel Zegler, from real life!!

[@WhiteDragonXXX]

Great choices

[@BlenderStudy]

Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! Alice Poulson of Antitrust (2001) was one of them too. 😁

[@jaxonjaxoff3291]

Stardust is SO UNDERRATED.

[@gundamw3490]

X men First First class ❤

[@johnnydripp]

The Creeper is an awesome character. It’s a shame he hasn’t gotten a great movie to match yet.

[@hayeonkim7838]

Thanks for interesting and valuable video as always ❤❤❤

[@robbiescheid4127]

Stardust is one of my favorite movies thank you for putting me on the list more people need to see it

[@Caffeine_Club]

Homelander from Prime's 'The Boys' definitely deserves a seat at this table.

[@WinstonSmith19847]

I thought Kevin Spacey as John Doe in Seven would be on this list and possibly number one. " What's in the box ? "

[@corymorimacori1059]

“Ayo Lex Loser, you look like a villain at Comecon. You gettin ate up, you should have battled me at Ramadan!” Mansa Musa

[@Jeremiah_Rivers76]

Full stop, Harvey “Two-Face” Dent from _The Dark Knight,_ Gotham City’s ex-district attorney, is a good fright after what went down at the warehouse whose explosion disfigured him and killed Rachel Dawes. He lived long enough to become a villain.

[@Animeguy300]

Amazing list

[@Baffoono]

Your videos inspired me

[@pinkdream3115]

We need to talk about Jack in "The House that Jack built"

[@LaJurado]

Count Olaf!!! So glad to see the franchise (books, tv show and movie) here!!! The books are AMAZING

[@maksports95]

I’m surprised Harvey Dent from the Dark Knight isn’t on here

[@symmetrykidkun8]

Stardust is a delightful movie! Definitely a rewatch when I’m in a feel-good mood.

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Oh my gosh!! Yes! Stardust!! I love that movie!! My older sister showed it to me for the first time a few years ago and it is one of my go-to movies. I love all the characters, I love the goofy love story, I love the costumes, the sets…It’s a beautiful movie that definitely deserves more attention. It was also the first movie I ever saw Michelle Pfieffer in and I thought she crushes the role!

[@Sunprism]

I'd like to suggest Hertz from Shoot 'Em Up. Played wonderfully by Paul Giamatti, he's a former CIA profiler turned assassin with incredible detective skills and pretty good management skills, who just grows more crazed and crazed as the movie goes on. "My God! Do we really Suck or is this guy really that good?!"

[@jayestrada3852]

The sadistic Lado Arroyo from Savages played by Benicio del Toro

[@alessandrodamiani1867]

In 2007 Michelle Pfeiffer gave us another overlooked villain, Velma Von Tussle from the remake of the musical Hairspray.

[@Wolfsbane909]

the shaving scene with vadal in pan's labrynith was suspensful, i keep expecting an jump scare

[@Kakki82]

So agree on number one!

[@PoorAttemptAtHumor]

Clyde Shelton in Law Abiding Citizen is criminally underrated (pun intended)

[@mbuszka5295]

Half jokingly only, but for me very overlooked villian is OG SCREAM 1996 Stu Macher, especially with what franchise made of him later. He was holding Sid dad captive after kidnapping him, hosting a party meanwhile. Killed his 2 girlfriends(one ex), kept psychologically playing with people, when he pretend dismissable idiot. He walks around quoting others, using their words to twist them to new sense, as valuable info and keeps hanged dolls on a attic, showing he got pretty passionate much earlier. Plus, he is based on Michael Myers.🤔 Dang clumsy and hilarious, but needing no REASON, killing just for FUN of it, more gladly, closer he is to someone, makes him very memorable villian for me. No motive(especially as cliche as REVENGE) needed. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@CaptainMcTubeSnoot]

Koba from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Zod from Man of Steel Striker from X2 Blackwood from Sherlock Holmes

[@christophermerlot3366]

1) I rather enjoyed What Lies Beneath. Recommended. 2)Insomnia sucked. Watch the Norwegian original, which is brilliant. 3) Same with Italian Job. Watch the original. 4) I'm not sure you can call Capt. Vidal 'overlooked.' 5) And I'm casting a vote for Matt Dillon's Jack from Lars von Trier's 'The House that Jack Built.'

[@rubygracemoseley8144]

Oh my gosh!! Yes! 😂😂😂😂 Count Olaf! I quote him a lot and act out that goofy dinosaur scene a as well! It annoyed me so much that he kept getting away and getting Violet, Klaus and Sunny but he’s so funny and entertaining that I love him as well 😂

[@tracidavis3565]

I loved The Collector and The Collection. Thanks for showing love to one of my favorite movies. Too bad The Collected has been shelved. There is a debate on whether Sam from Trick r Treat is really a villain or a deity who upholds the Halloween traditions dating back many years. Check out CZS world and the Horror History on Sam. I feel like Krampus is more the same as well. Both good movies.

[@aJohnnyBenton]

Jeepers Creepers director was the real monster

[@josh72456]

I’ve not seen The Man From U.N.C.L.E, The Collector, The Loved Ones, Trick R Treat and Dredd.

[@WinstonSmith19847]

Robin Williams' character in 24 Hour Photo was a good villain also.

[@makeuploverjess5170]

What Lies Beneath and Stardust are 2 of my favourite movies

[@colinprice7964]

Completely disagree with number 9. Up until about 2 thirds into the movie, I couldn't have even told you who the primary antagonist was because she was so boring and one dimensional as a villain that I thought she was a red herring. And once I knew she was the villain, it hit me that there was nothing about her that was even a little bit interesting. A wooden performance of an underwritten villain.

[@aysada]

Everything Michelle Pfeiffer does is perfect. And your narrator is incorrect because what lies beneath was a very big hit that summer.

[@manoftheusajones5147]

TOP 10 Ugliest Robots

[@eugeniapatroncosta920]

Owen Davian is my favourite.

[@aaronmoi5980]

I personally would have added pike from “The A-Team” but great picks otherwise

[@pokemon_clown]

Omg Stardust was SUCH a good movie!

[@bee_man84]

How can Howard in 10 cloverfield lane be a villain when he is overprotective towards his guests when in the end there is shown in the movie that there is really an alien invasion??

[@XeniusChannel]

not me having a howard poster in my room XDDDD

[@catelynstark9883]

Cornell Stokes in Iron Cage Netflix MCU

[@gundamw3490]

RedHulk vs Catwoman Beautiful World ❤

[@chelseacanales8763]

Stardust and Trick or Treat are underrated movies

[@RevanNL]

Tony Stark from Avengers Endgame is not on this list, the man who ruined the lives of billions of people because he was too selfish to make 1 sacrifice

[@beaufonville4454]

Where's the "Top 20 Best Supervillain Teams" video?! #WatchMojo

[@Atomsk359]

The year 2000 is the last year of the 20th century

[@noahmagana137]

Hoffman remains the best villain in the entire mission impossible franchise

[@srstriker6420]

Yeah yeah there were early rumours that he was going to be the Penguin along with Johnny Depp as the Riddler in the Dark knight rises

[@l3k446]

Scariest thumbnail I've seen in a while

[@hellahighjavi7276]

Micah from RDR2

[@ojhoo0015]

omega olives

[@thegirlwitheeyes1232]

YES, LAMIA!!!!!

[@redfoe77]

What Lies Beneath, was a lousy movie. It keeps coming up on several "movies" list of one category or another such as this one. 🙄

[@townsville69]

Apart from Robin Williams the rest were pretty meh. Gul Dukat belongs on this list.

[@MsMELANE85]

Gone girl.....

[@Baseds__Backup_Account_3]

The villain is the hero of their own story, lol.

[@sidewinder2057]

What the f is that thing on the thumbnail 😰

[@jorgeadairramos7469]

Hello good afternoon 😮😮😮😮

[@AncestorEmpireGaming]

First non bot comment.

[@CertifiedCommentBotHater]

It's insane that KZbin is worried about their money instead of doing about the bots themselves and have us report them as new ones just keep being created

[@Reaperguy67]

Like anyone else asked about your comment number
