If Kirk's crew were kidnapped and threatened and he was forced to do things he doesn't want to do in order to keep them safe, I argue that he would have done almost everything Khan did to save the people he cared about. And, in the end, it's Khan who does win because he is reunited with his crew.

Star Trek: Into Darkness is underrated. Sure, it doesn't hold a phaser to the original Wrath of Khan (let's not forget how compelling Ricardo Montalban's depiction of the character was), but Benedict Cumberbatch brought his a-game to the roll and made it his own rather than try and one-up Montalban. I especially loved the final chase scene between him and Spock. Never before in Trek had I scene such an action spectacle of two super-strong characters beating the crap out of each other while performing parkour Tom Cruise would be proud of.

He may be a bit obscure for this list but I think Edward Lionheart from Vincent Price’s ‘Theater of Blood’ should be on this list too. Price is so good that I pretty much root for any villain he plays (Dr. Phibes could probably be added to this list) but here he plays a wronged Shakespearean actor who is savaged by the critics guild. Interestingly many of their criticisms were leveled at Price in real life. After he supposedly kills himself Lionheart proceeds to kill each critic in a manner from one of the plays of Shakespeare that he acted in. The critics are played as pretty vile characters (except for one) and the kills are done with such style that it’s regrettable when Lionheart finally dies. It’s a really a fun movie if you haven’t seen it.

@@Just_Pele When he destroyed the stones, he ensured that the population would eventually double and be in the same predicament. All he did was buy some time. Not much of a savior. They were infinity stones, presumably imbued with infinite power. He wanted to retire to gardening. Why not use that power to maintain a neverending garden? His pathology drove him to his solution to the predicted problem.

@@freakshopusa yup. I've seen Criminal Minds episodes that explain Thanos's pathology- he suffered trauma, didn't process it, projects it onto others, and forces his solution, occasionally taking a survivor as a souvenir. Then he repeats the cycle.

and the interesting thing about thanos' "wipe out half to save the other half" strategy is that it's proven prior to the movie that it doesn't work. in the first guardians movie when they're doing the record scan of gamora it shows she's the last of her people, meaning that wiping out half the population of her planet only succeeded in dooming the other half to extinction.

It's a massively complicated task. Wipe out half and thrive. Because the snap is dispassionate, there is no way of knowing who is gone. An entire society may lose too many of their best and brightest to recover and thrive. Thus doomed to eventual extinction.

And that’s why the movie version of Thanos’ crusade to wipe out half the universe doesn’t work quite as well as the comic book crusade did, where he was doing it in an effort to win the affection of Death.

Although not a movie villain, Daenerys Targaryen from GOT was so ingeniously engineered (a woman rising through patriarchies, an idealistic liberator and mother of dragons) that many wanted her to succeed. Hell I heard stories of people naming their babies Daenerys. After being failed by the diplomatic tactics encouraged by her mentors and realizing the land no longer held any respect for her family name or would ever choose a woman leading a foreign host against an honorable man with a stronger genetic claim to the throne, she defaulted on the legend of her ancestor Aegon by attending the Genghis Khan School of Lasting Impressions and started shaping her better world through fire, blood and fear. It was such a good feint, that people to this day still dont see they fell for the charms of a burgeoning tyrant and think the turn came out of nowhere as a case of "bad writing".

8:45 I felt like Cruella was an alternate universe where 101 Dalmatians isn't going to happen to be honest... I guess if we ever get Cruella 2 we'll find out for sure, but I just feel like she didn't actually blame the dogs in the end and even loved them when she gave the freakin' puppies to the two families.
