lirazel: Elizabeth Debicki as Victoria from the film Man from UNCLE ([film] villainess)
I'm not talking about nuanced characters with gray morality this time (though I will certainly talk about those sometime!), I'm talking about straight-up villains! People (or other beings) you love to watch being evil!


Here are some that come immediately to mind for me:

+ The Fanged Four from the Buffyverse when they're all evil and before they become those nuanced characters with interesting arcs. I just love watching Spike & Dru in BtVS season 2 or the flashback scenes where they're running around causing havoc in historical locations. Would have watched a Fanged Four spinoff, but alas it never happened!

+ Mrs. Eleanor Iselin from The Manchurian Candidate. Angela Lansbury deserved every award for that role!!!

+ The Borg. Just collectively.

+ Victoria from the Man from UNCLE movie. This one is all style and no substance--we don't actually know her very well--but her style is so good that she deserves a place on the list.

+ Shawn from The Good Place. Maybe this is just because I love Marc Evan Jackson?


Tell me about some of your favorites!
