will the real evil overlord please stand
up I catch a cat bite so welcome to
watchmojo.com in films released between
2010 and 2009 and by worst we don't mean
the most evil we mean that these
villains fail to live up to their
potential or they just straight-up
sucked also a spoiler alert in effect
what a touching daddy son reunion moment
it reminds me of the time I deleted you
both number 10 all Minette The Mummy but
Pharaoh had a son the boy now would
inherit her destiny an armored net
understood power was not given it had to
be taken to give this box office and
critical bomb a little credit the makeup
artists at least tried to give Amun at a
unique design if only the screenwriters
had put in the same level of effort
aside from her appearance and the fact
that she's a princess
there's nothing about Amma net that
sticks out especially when compared to
universals past mummies she's not creepy
like Boris Karloff's incarnation of
Imhotep even Arnold Vosloo despite often
being surrounded by cheesy effects still
brought a menacing sense of dignity to
his portrayal Hama net won't scare you
to death but she will bore you to death
with her cookie cutter origin story
nonsensical motivations and utter lack
of a personality I love my father with
all my heart
I only wanted his love an actress of
Sophia boot Ella's charisma deserved
much better than this
[Music]
number nine set gods of Egypt whereas
the mummy at least got a performer of
North African descent to play the
titular role gods of Egypt was accused
of whitewashing across the board the
most distracting casting choice has got
to be Gerard Butler who makes only a
half-hearted attempt to disguise the
Scottish accent as the villainous
Egyptian god set we'd say the butler
chooses the scenery here but the movie
is so reliant on CGI that there probably
wasn't much scenery for him to chew
[Music]
speaking of which set becomes even
harder to take seriously whenever Butler
turns into a ridiculous CG abomination
anyway you cut it set is a far cry from
save Leonidas I can understand killing
for a crowd but this is madness yes
number eight
Vivien NIM way Hellboy you can tell that
the Hellboy reboot was going for a campy
er tone based on the presence of Milla
Jovovich
who specializes in b-movie horror yell
vivillon NIM Way also known as the blood
queen also known as the Lady of the lake
we're forced to surrender the name way
the Queen of blood well the great King
Arthur comes to Pendle Hill while not
the most complex villain yogev itch
could have had a lot of fun here by
hamming it up but instead of going over
the top Jovovich generally looks bored
in the role delivering her lines with
zero emotion and a listless straight
face even when the blood Queen gets
decapitated the actress only appears
marginally invested when your villain is
a sorceress who spends part of the movie
cut up into pieces the last thing she
should be is dull like the rest of the
film
Nym way is a bloody waste quit while
you're number seven fire lord ozai The
Last Airbender
although Admiral Zhao is initially given
more screentime
Fire Lord Ozai is the true big bad of
the Avatar universe if this live-action
adaptation was your introduction to the
franchise however you'd never understand
why the Fire Lord is supposed to be such
a big deal the original show spent two
seasons building up Ozai before finally
unveiling his face I've redeemed
yourself myself
welcome home even as a hidden figure OHS
I could send a shiver up anyone's spine
thanks in part to mark Hamill's devilish
delivery here OHS I just walks on screen
with no build-up or a cool introduction
with this information we could bring
down the Northern Water Tribe City we
could show the world the true strength
of fire I am pleased what's worse he
doesn't come off as intimidating
sinister or really all that bad
we never believed for a second that this
guy could command a room let alone a
monarchy sozin's comment is returning in
three years it will give all firebenders
the ability of the highest firebenders
the ability to use their own Chi to
create fire that is the day we will win
this war and prove the fire nation's
dominance number six
parallax Green Lantern this film's
interpretation of parallax is about as
generic as supervillains get he has no
personality or defining traits outside
of being a giant extraterrestrial being
that our heroes need to defeat
everything we learn about parallax is
conveyed through bland exposition making
him all the more on compelling at the
very least the filmmakers could have
given us creative design but he's
literally just a massive head clouded by
smoke in the comics parallax is
described as quote a yellow entity that
was made of living fear
in this film
parallax only possesses hints of the
color yellow and we doubt that he could
strike fear into anybody under three
unless you've read the comics it's easy
to forget that this villain even has a
name number five balem abrasax Jupiter
ascending only a year after accepting an
Oscar for the theory of everything Eddie
Redmayne won a Razzie for playing an
intergalactic businessman with an
Oedipus complex I create dies that is
quite the 180 to be fair
balem abrasax is by far the most
entertaining part of this otherwise
uninspired space opera that being said
this is still one of the most awkward
and embarrassing villains ever to grace
the silver screen
balem has two notes most of the time he
speaks like a prima donna getting over a
sore throat
other times he randomly screeches like a
whiny preteen going through puberty
channeling John Travolta and Battlefield
Earth and Tommy Wiseau in the room I'm
so happy I have you as my best friend
balem scenes may be enjoyably awful but
the only thing he creates is
unintentional laughter number four
Steppenwolf
Justice League if Justice League was
supposed to be DC's answer to the
Avengers then we guess that Steppenwolf
was intended to be this cinematic
universe is equivalent to Loki except
without the charm or humor or engaging
backstory or anything remotely memorable
I think there's an attack coming not
coming it's already here they called him
Steppenwolf the end of worlds he lived
only to conquer heck the most this guy
has in common with the god of mischief
is his helmet which many people would
agree was Loki's lamest feature I will
take my place
summon the new gods
it's power if you're gonna get some of
the greatest superheroes and pop-culture
together
you had better pit them against a worthy
villain from the second Steppenwolf
surfaces however the audience is utterly
underwhelmed not only is he given one of
the laziest CGI designs in modern cinema
he also spouts some utterly unmemorable
dialogue number three Doctor Doom
Fantastic Four of all the definitive
villains in the Marvel library Doctor
Doom is the one that Hollywood has
continually botched the most when your
world is destroyed
and I'm all that's left then it will be
enough whatever future versions of the
character lie on the horizon we can take
solace in knowing that nothing will ever
be more enraging than this when we first
meet Victor Von Doom he comes off as a
pompous weasel less like a diabolical
mastermind and more like that jerky
coworker every office has you're
supposed to be down here working yeah I
am that's what we've been doing that's
not what it looks like so right off the
bat it's hard to believe that this guy
is going to emerge as a threat things
don't get much better when Victor debuts
his new look which could easily be
mistaken for a mannequin that didn't
come off the assembly line right that
place kept me alive gave me strength
power
what kind of power
the kind men like you must never possess
number two the Joker Suicide Squad while
the trailer suggested that Jared Leto's
Joker would be this film's big bad the
spotlight was instead stolen by the
enchantress I lost my foot in
but you can get it back right I can my
dear anything you want The Joker
meanwhile got about 10 minutes of screen
time although we're not exactly
complaining if it were Jack Nicholson or
Heath Ledger in the role we'd feel hard
done by but every time Leto grinds his
grills or lets out a half-hearted laugh
we just wish that Harley Quinn would
dump him already
[Applause]
we're not sure what the inspiration for
this portrayal was but Leno's joker
comes off like a hot topic patron trying
to act edgy if you cross him with the
mask okay this misguided take on the
character earned Leto a Razzie
nomination but he I rot eclis lost to
our number one pick it wasn't so crazy I
think you're insane
go away
well what takeaway can we learn from mr.
Leto folks don't turn in an unlikable
performance of an iconic villain that
can also be said about our number one so
before we crown our worst villain of the
2010s let's look at some honorable or in
this case dishonorable mentions
millennia ago the most ruthless of their
kind Malekith sought to transform our
universe back into one of eternal night
such evil was possible through the power
of the ether
[Music]
I'll finish all I ever wanted was the
survival of our race you must see why I
had to betray you didn't betray me you
betrayed your side
sweet gentle children you who weep
molten terms of innocent tears dry them
dear nervous for I have sprung you from
life's cruel dungeon and hereby grant
you liberty foolish child
he ignites it and tells his true enemy

Batman vs Superman dawn of Justice we
know better now don't we
The Devil's don't come from Hell beneath
us no Batman vs Superman is actually a
movie that tries way too hard to be dark
and brooding except when it comes to
Jesse Eisenberg's portrayal of Lex
Luthor giggling urinating in jars and
shoving Jolly Ranchers in people's faces
this version of Luthor seems better
suited for Joel Schumacher's Batman
movies why do we have problems up here
the problem of of evil in the world the
problem of absolute virtue on second
thought even Schumacher would probably
tell Eisenberg to take it down several
notches whatever Eisenberg was going for
it is not Lex Luthor he's more like Mark
Zuckerberg if he tried to take over the
world a different way honestly he's just
won bazinga away from being Sheldon
Cooper even if you took all knowledge of
his calculating comic book counterpart
out of the equation this movie's villain
would still be an epic fail he's coming
