Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back to The Broke and the Bookish so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.
This week is Top Ten Villains- however we want to spin it. I'm going with villains that I'd like to know more about and/ or villains that are being redeemed/ or that I just like. Maybe because they're such awesome villains! So... here we go!
Jaime Lannister
Harley Quinn
the id monster from Forbidden Planet
The Sith
Especially the Emperor.
Smaug (and dragons in general)
How can dragons not be on a list of villains?
Ringwraiths
Capt. Nemo
Is he a villain?
BeiTech
I always love a good corporate villain.
Jabba the Hutt
Various scoundrels and bounty hunters
Looking back and thinking about it, I kind of wish I'd done a list of Marvel (or superhero) characters who are bettering themselves/doing good things despite a "dark" or villainous past. Someone like Harley Quinn. Oh, well! Next time.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I love the idea of a supervillains list!
DeleteLove what you've done with the list this week! Love the inclusions of gifs and clips. My TTT
ReplyDeleteHa ha thanks!
DeleteJaime <3
ReplyDeleteAnd yes I love me some bounty hunters too.
Bounty hunters :)
DeleteDragons make great villains. Unless they're metallic dragons. They're good. ;-).
ReplyDeleteHa ha you sound like a gamer!
DeleteI remember the first time I saw Jabba. He was terrifying.
ReplyDeleteJabba was... terrifying.
DeleteOOh nice mix!! BeiTech was pretty nefarious! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
BeiTech were!!
DeleteVery cool mix, Greg! And I like that Harley is up the top of your list too! (the end of the Nazgul chase never fails to give me chills!)
ReplyDeleteThat chase is awesome! And yay Harley!!
DeleteGreat list!! Beitech is such a good one.
ReplyDeleteBeiTech were SUCH nasties!
DeleteOMG! How did I forget to include Palpatine! He's like, the ultimate evil! Awesome list, Greg!
ReplyDeleteDeanna Reads Books
Right? I LOVE Palpatine
DeleteGreat list! I haven't read the books, but I have to agree that Jaime Lannister has been such a fun villain to follow - then again the whole Lannister family is full of such depth, they're so addictive to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe Lannisters *nods*
DeleteYes, Smaug should definitely be on the villain list! Nice choice there.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Smaug is awesome
DeleteYou've got a great mix of villains here, and I love watching that scene from LOTR😁
ReplyDeleteIsn't that awesome???
DeleteI picked Smaug too! Probably because I am in the middle of listening to The Hobbit on audio book. I went for Cersei Lannister instead of Jaime. There are so many villains to pick from in the GoT books isn't there?
ReplyDeleteOoh The Hobbit on audio would be fun!
DeleteDefinitely a nice mix of villains. I do love Harley Quinn, and I find her so fascinating.

I love your inclusion of Star Wars villains! We just watched Return of the Jedi last night and it never gets old watching Leia choke Jabba ;) Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere is our TTT.
I thought about GoT and even Jaime Lannister when writing my list, but GRRM's stuff can make it hard to classify who's actually a villain. Like, maybe everybody.

The Sith and Ringwraiths are great villains. Great list!
ReplyDeleteJaime made my list too! I love the moral ambiguity of like EVERYONE in ASOIF
ReplyDeleteHeck, all the Lannisters are. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love Harley Quinn and secretly want to be her!
ReplyDeleteI just re-watched Suicide Squad, I love Harley Quinn.
ReplyDeleteYes the ring wraiths are creepy!
ReplyDeleteJamie Lannister is a good one. And GoT isn’t lacking for villains! I nixed using any since I haven’t read the books (only watch the show) but I was thinking of both Ramsey and Joffrey.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Sith and Ringwraiths. They'd make my list, too...if I'd done one. ;)
ReplyDeleteYay for the id monster. Forbidden Planet is one of my favorite movies. 👍✨
ReplyDeleteLando and Boba Fett!! Two of my favorite SW characters! When I was a kid I would only drink from my Lando McDonald's glass. Lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jamie too - he is probably my favorite GoT character right now.
DeleteI was never a comic book kind of person. I've recently been making an effort to get into a few graphic novels and comics. I probably should read something with Harley Quinn in it because I am curious about her and all her renditions over the years :)
ReplyDeleteI will be so happy if Jaime Lannister kills his sister. I’m crossing my fingers that it happens.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I agree, Jaime Lannister is becoming less of a villain as the series goes on. It's like he finally realizes, oh wait, I'm a really crappy person and so is my sister.
ReplyDeleteUm, is it awful that I don't know ANY of these except BeiTech? So in lieu of discussing them, let's talk about OTHER villains. Like... Julie Mao's dad, what is HIS malfunction? And ummm Cage Wallace. He literally got all his people killed over something Skaikru could have donated. He's the dumbest tbh. Also, McCreary who ends entire planets. Ummm all the dead Queens inside Katharine! And Olivia from 12 Monkeys. These aren't even my favorite villains per se, but the ones I know we both know haha. (McCreary is totally a fave though, obviously.) OH how about the rapey dude from Impulse?!?! He really sucked!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you put the id on here made me stupidly happy.
ReplyDeleteI almost included Smaug on my list too! He's such a great villain! And the Sith! That's another great choice. Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteI expect we'll be seeing lots of Jaime Lannister on these lists today! And I adore Harley Quinn! Coincidentally, I just got the Harley Quinn: Mad Love novel for review today, huzzah!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I could've filled an entire ten from Game of Thrones! I was stuck with which Lannister to use and went with the one with no redeeming features!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I only chose villains in general not a specific theme. ^^;
ReplyDeleteBeiTech! Great picks!
