Baddest of the Bad - Round One - It's Gonna Get Ugly

[thedamndest]

After John McClane walked away on his bloody feet with the King of the Action crown, many of you were wondering: who is the baddest baddie in film? We opened this question up to all movies, not just action movies, because it seems that in action movies many times the hero gets all the cool one-liners and the bad guy just pounds his fist like a school girl. So here they are, 32 of the baddest baddies. 3 days to vote.

Remember to choose one of the two in voting.
1a OR 1b, etc.

Hoping to see lots of love for Simon Phoenix. :)

On the internet, against Darth Vader, he doesn't stand a chance

[thedamndest]

This will come down to Darth Vader and the Joker.

[Rammsteinmad]

Fucking badass.

[What Would Kevin Do?]

I gave Simon Phoenix love.

[Kapoutman]

I love Simon Pheonix. But he's against Vader. :(

[Fignuts]

fuck, bill vs the predator was tough.

[KYR]

Where the hell's Lo Pan???

[thedamndest]

He gets a bye to the finals to face the winner.

[Downunder]

Fucking badass.

voted The Joker

Not enough choice really, and some of them need not be there, and we should be allowed two votes really.

[DaveBrawl]

Upset Chong Li and Lo Pan (KYR opened my eyes to this glowing omission in the first tournament) didn't make this.

[Jeritron]

voted The Joker

Not enough choice really, and some of them need not be there, and we should be allowed two votes really.

You fucked up. There's multiple choice. You're supposed to vote for the winner in each matchup.
Everyone does that, and then the winners advance in the bracket. It's not simply a standalone poll where you vote once from a pool of contenders.

[Jon Kano]

Well in my opinion not all decisive polls should be done that way, the advantage of doing one big stand alone one allows for a overall majority opinion. All these bracket bullshit rounds and shit are ok for the films, but there are not going to be the same amount of people voting each time.

I didn't fuck up at all. Including characters like Scar from the Lion King, now that's a fuck up for christ sweets sake.

[thedamndest]

We're just trying to gauge what a very tiny section of the internet's opinion of the best bad guy out of a given selection is of bad guys is, based on their own personal biases and preferences as of July-August 2009. We're not trying to cure cancer here.

[Jon Kano]

Well maybe you should.

[thedamndest]

We're trying to figure out who the Baddest Bad Guy is first.

[Jon Kano]

Well I think you can cross Scar off the list.

Jigsaw (SAW) turned him into a hot dog.

Which brings me to another point, speaking of Jigsaw, WHICH I WAS, why is he not on the list?

[Jeritron]

because the Saw franchise sucks

[Jeritron]

Also, the same people do vote everytime for the most part.

Either way, that's absurd logic. Not all of the same people vote in every election. They can turn out, or they can choose not to turn out.
Is the winner of the 2008 presidential election any less the president that the winner of the 2004 election, because the voter turnout wasn't identical?

[Jon Kano]

Well yeah, they even had to count it numerous times. 'Just to make sure'.

SAW films do suck, but were on about the characters are we not?

Alls I'm saying is some of the choices were bad ones, and it would be better to have one big extended vote for TPWW's fave villain. Stop being so sensitive its just my opinion.

I still fuckin voted.

[thedamndest]

We talked about how we would end up setting this up. We decided on this format because we could include a good amount of solid competition from lots of different areas (hence why Scar was chosen) but not have it take lots of time and have people lose interest. Jigsaw was considered, but we felt we had horror adequately covered with other inclusions.

It's all going to come down to Joker or Vader anyway.

[Jon Kano]

OK fairplay

[weather vane]

darth vader is fuckin gay

star wars is gay

you are gay

[Jon Kano]

Hey, why don't I just go eat some hay, make things out of clay, lay by the bay? I just may! What'd ya say?

[Skippord]

Hannibal Lector should win

[Miotch]

The fact that Alec Trevellyan <sic> isn't crushing Hans Gruber is atrocious.

[Ogen]

Well in my opinion not all decisive polls should be done that way, the advantage of doing one big stand alone one allows for a overall majority opinion. All these bracket bullshit rounds and shit are ok for the films, but there are not going to be the same amount of people voting each time.

Scar was an evil bastard.

[Jon Kano]

Scar was an evil bastard.

Hmmmmm, he did that he had to do.

Besides, Simba had an awesome time with Pumbaa and Timone, then he became a better king than he coulda been because he was stronger through what Scar put into motion.

So really, he's just misunderstood.

[Fignuts]

He killed his brother and left his nephew to die, ffs.

Myers is just a cookie cutter slasher movie villain.

You people are dumb.

[4 knuckles up]

I would like to submit my answer in the form of a rap.
