Love to Hate	comment	This villain trope is for the characters we love to hate. "Love to hate" is a term used to describe villains we enjoy. We love them for various reasons, such as excellent character development, being hilarious, getting the best writing, having a memorable personality, or being lucky enough to have a top-notch performance by their actor. But at the same time, the fans still want to see the baddie get their comeuppance in the end. There is still hatred, after all. Also named Heel Hate. Faux Affably Evil, Affably Evil, Laughably Evil, Magnificent Bastard, and Card-Carrying Villain are sub tropes for different reasons. Being a Large Ham definitely helps (see also Evil Is Hammy). An Anti-Villain is often one of these due to the character development they often get. A villain who's The Scrappy or Creator's Pet is typically not eligible for this trope as are some villains who cross the Moral Event Horizon. Not to be confused with Draco in Leather Pants, which is when a villain's fandom will gloss over the actual nastiness of a villain and insist that he or she is just misunderstood, i.e they throw their sympathy to them even though they don't deserve it; in this, fans acknowledge the atrocities the villain has done but they like them for their villain traits. Also not to be confused with when the heroes would love to hate the villain, but just can't manage it. This is someone whom the fans enjoy and even maybe respect because of their unapologetic evilness. Their shamelessness is cathartic to us, and they retain their awesomeness as time goes by without Villain Decay. In order to be eligible, a villain must be generally well-regarded/well-liked by said fandom while the same fandom still acknowledges they're a villain. Being here means that said villain is part of the pantheon of great villains. Therefore, it is possible for a Complete Monster to be listed here (for example, The Joker, Pennywise, and Red Skull). Compare Hate Sink, where a character's intended role is to be hated by the audience. They can fall under this trope if viewers find them engaging despite being someone for them to root against. Also compare Jerkass Dissonance, where a character becomes beloved in spite of being so detestable. Can also overlap with Rooting for the Empire if the villain is so entertaining the audience actually WANTS them to win. See also Evil is Cool, a major cause of this sentiment.

Love to Hate / int_11b7db91	comment	Adventure Time: The fanbase takes a real liking to the dreaded, unfunny, dark, murderous and with No Sense of Humour terror that is the Lich, mainly because he took such a drastic turn from the show's usual silly tone. The base was intrigued with him long before he made his first full (non-cameo) appearance in season 2. The love got boosted when he cleverly outsmarted Finn in the season 4 finale by exploiting his heroic traits and using them against him. Magic Man. Mainly because he's funny, despicable and scary at the same time. Lemongrab. An awesomely creepy, nightmarish, weird character who moved all the season 5 into Darker and Edgier territory. Big Destiny as well. Despite being a greedy bully, he's entertaining to watch and has some memorable lines.

He's a popular character for being both an innovative idea for a Big Bad, his mindset becoming more and more repulsive as time goes on, and the fact that his fake adorkability actually being incredibly creepy is played 100% straight from the very beginning, something which is still not seen all that often.

However, this is also a big-time case of Base-Breaking Character since there's plenty who flat-out hate him for it, and some who defend his actions. It gets murkier after Rebellion when he does something that causes him to lose much of his excuse while simultaneously receiving long overdue karma.

He also proves to be a more interesting antagonist than the previous ones, since he knows how to use Elm's democratic process and two-party system to his own advantage, as opposed to the other aristocrats relying on brute force. While it's satisfying to see the protagonists expose his crimes and put him in his place, all the antagonists who outlast him won't be able to contribute as much to the Democracy Is Flawed aesop, since they aren't manipulating the system from the inside.

Love to Hate / int_1858fe06	comment	Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Nack the Weasel. He's a greedy, somewhat charming, and amoral bounty hunter whose inability to win has won him many fans. Unlike other villains, Nack is smart enough to know that Sonic outclasses him and tries to work around this. Dr. Finitevus, for his awesome-looking evil overlord Evilutionary Biologist appearance and sophisticated demeanor. His exceptionally high intellect and being an expert Chessmaster easily make him one of the most awesome and popular villains from the comic books. Dark Enerjak, particularly the Knuckles incarnation, due to being such a far cry from his original counterpart's descent into Butt-Monkey territory. He is one of the few villains to be such a bastard, yet is so badass and monstrous that he just deserves respect. He was able to defeat almost all the main cast in one fell swoop. Scourge the Hedgehog, being an evil version of Sonic the Hedgehog. Being so snide and sadistic has never looked this entertaining. Lien Da, a sexy, sadistic assassin wearing revealing, provocative leather outfits, and is a whip-toting combatant. Adaptational Villainy made Dr. Eggman into this. He's way more dangerous here than in any other incarnation and takes an almost sadistic glee in his bouts with Sonic, and considers it all part of an elaborate game where he's the mastermind.

Love to Hate / int_1869a077	comment	Samurai Jack: Aku. A Shapeshifting Evil Overlord who takes evil to ridiculous levels simply to watch his victims squirm. He has a very unique design, is created from pure evil, and also tends to be pretty funny. It also helps that he was voiced by Mako, who is on full ham mode the entire time. The Demonic Spirit from "Jack and the Haunted House" doubles with Creepy Awesome, and it's possibly the most frightening and disturbing creature that ever appeared in the series. Unlike Aku, this being is played completely seriously, with no humorous quirks to detract from the insane nightmare that is this creature. Scaramouche the Merciless. Despite the fact that he's an Ax-Crazy Psycho for Hire, he's very entertaining to watch. The High Priestess. She serves as a major role to demonstrate how Aku is not the only malignant character in the whole story. And unlike Aku, she's a completely serious character. And her final fight was an incredibly cathartic moment. The Dominator from "Episode XVCI" is a colossal dick, but his role in the story is held up as an example of how a one-shot villain can be just as scary and terrifying as the main antagonist. His chilling voice certainly helps. Both the Omen and Inner Jack. They serve as a more psychological threat to Jack, making the narrative much more complex and interesting than before.

Love to Hate / int_1a12bbee	comment	Loki of The Mighty Thor. Gotta love the brotherly hate they feel towards each other but gotta hate his attitude. Up until he died and came back as a mischievous pre-teen Magnificent Bastard. It's only a matter of time until his inevitable turn back to evil, but right now he's all love. Or not. The child committed Heroic Suicide and a copy of the old consciousness took over his body. This old-new Loki's still not evil though, the kid was so much love that gave them yet another chance, which they're determined to use... sadly nobody else wants them to change, including an evil future version of themself, who is this trope full stop. Loki's truly Loki's own worst enemy. For what it's worth, there are fans (maybe even the majority of them), who would like them to stay split for the obvious reason to neither lose the version they love, nor the one they love to hate.

Love to Hate / int_1adee40d	comment	The Game Masters from The World Ends with You are quite nefarious but are still well-loved by the fans for various reasons. Yodai Higashizawa is fairly well-liked as a villain due to his various food-related puns, intimidating stature, cool Noise design, and surprisingly gracious reaction to his defeat at the hands of Neku and Shiki. Being voiced by Travis Willingham also doesnâ€™t hurt. Sho Minamimoto is a Jerkass with zero redeeming qualities, yet his loud and eccentric personality, coupled with his hilarious math-related catchphrases, make him one of the most popular characters in the game. Mitsuki Konishi's coldness and cruelty would normally make her a Hate Sink, yet she is loved by the fans due to being perceived as one of the more attractive characters in the game, as well as due to the fact that she poses a far greater threat than the previous Game Masters.

Love to Hate / int_23945975	comment	Pick just about any Disney animated villain. Any one of them: Peter Pan: Captain Hook is a ruthless pirate out to murder the Kid Hero, but he's so Laughably Evil and unlucky while still being a genuine threat that it's hard not to enjoy him. Sleeping Beauty: Maleficent is one of Disney's most beloved villains thanks to being a cool Dark Action Girl with her impressive powers, genuine cunning, and iconic One-Winged Angel form. Cruella De Vil is one of Disney's most popular villains despite her goal being to literally murder puppies, thanks to being quite funny and hilariously over-the-top about her evil. The Jungle Book: Shere Khan is one of the film's most popular villains thanks to his Faux Affably Evil, Wicked Cultured personality and being a sincerely badass threat to the protagonists. The Black Cauldron: The Horned King]] is quite popular for being a genuinely terrifying Knight of Cerebus with a genuinely creepy appearance, and for John Hurt's excellent vocal performance. The Great Mouse Detective: Professor Ratigan is quite popular, thanks to being a gloriously hammy Diabolical Mastermind voiced by the ever-charming Vincent Price. The Little Mermaid (1989): Ursula is beloved not in spite of, but because of how unrepentantly and gloriously evil she is, on top of being genuinely badass. The Rescuers Down Under: Percival C. McLeach is an Evil Poacher who tries to murder the Kid Hero by feeding him to crocodiles and enjoys killing animals despite knowing they're sapient. He's still quite loved by fans for being a genuinely funny Large Ham voiced by George C. Scott with some truly golden lines. Aladdin: Jafar is quite popular for his entertainingly bombastic personality, his genuinely funny and humanizing moments with Iago, and being quite creative with his magic once he becomes an Evil Sorcerer. The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie Boogie is a monstrous sadist, but he's still beloved by fans for being an entertaining Large Ham with a great Villain Song. The Lion King (1994): Scar is an evil tyrant who murders his own brother, but he's also one of Disney's most beloved villains thanks to being a gloriously snarky, hammy Evil Brit voiced by Jeremy Irons, and for having a truly amazing Villain Song. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney): Judge Claude Frollo is a racist Knight Templar, but he's beloved by fans for being a surprisingly complex and serious villain. Hercules: Hades is evil, no doubt about it, but he's also beloved even by people who don't like the movie thanks to being a charismatic Motor Mouth with all the funniest lines.

She's a (self-proclaimed) Great Detective who washes up on Rokkenjima and proceeds to hijack the gameboard. She's a Canon Sue, Parody Sue, and Black Hole Sue, and while the narration won't stop gushing over her the characters in-universe can't stand her, especially after she pins all the murders on Natsuhi, kills Beatrice, gets into a fight with Maria over candy and makes her cry, and tricks Battler into a logic error with a Wounded Gazelle Gambit. Erika is completely ruthless and amoral. Despite that, she is a fairly popular character. Also, in-universe Battler acknowledges her as an opponent in the end and is upset at her absence at the after-party. The witches in general are this, due to their trollish nature. Big Bad Beatrice is a Magnificent Bitch who desires to make Battler her slave. Erikaâ€™s master Bernkastel and Lambdadelta may also qualify after being revealed as the true villains.

Love to Hate / int_283044d7	comment	Super Danganronpa Another 2 has Kanade Otonokoji, the Chapter 3 culprit. Initially, she seems to be a very shy, submissive girl who's often pushed around by her older twin sister Hibiki. However, Kanade not only proves to be a huge help in investigations and trials, but she reveals she's a lot more forceful, stern, and even cruel when she wants to be. All of this culminates in the third trial with The Reveal that not only is she really the dominant sister, but she's a ruthless, manipulative Serial Killer who's murdered and maimed well over 60 people for getting too close to her sister. A sister who she's also sexually attracted to and has been gradually breaking down psychologically into her submissive puppet. Thanks to this, she also executed the longest and most complex murder situation in the entire game, killing Cool Big Sis Setsuka just for getting too close to Hibiki, and in the end, she gets both herself and her sister killed so they could be together in death. All of this has come together to make the character simultaneously one of the most popular and despised characters among the fanbase.

Love to Hate / int_2e9ef429	comment	Batman: Arkham Series has a lot of great villains in Batman's Rogues Gallery, but these ones here stand out for how amazing, but at the same time evil, they are: The Joker, as for usual, is a monstrous psychopath and one of the vilest enemies that Batman faced in his entire life. But at the same time, he is a cunning mastermind and is incredibly hilarious in a twisted way. The fact that even after his death at the end of City he still manages to make his presence felt at Gotham says a lot about his strength and influence. Scarecrow here is the embodiment of Evil is Cool. In Asylum, his fights are easily one of the creepiest and most iconic parts of the game. Especially his third encounter, for exploiting not only Batman's fears, but the players' fears as well. In Knight, he gets upgraded to Big Bad and clever chessmaster, successfully taking over Gotham City in one night. Also, how many villains can boast on how they, not only discovered Batman's secret identity, but also revealed it to the entire world besides Scarecrow? The Riddler is such a smug bastard that you canâ€™t help but chuckle at his antics. It also helps that heâ€™s legitimately pretty funny and is the only one of Batmanâ€™s foes in the games that can go toe to toe with him in the intellect department. Itâ€™s no mean feat for a character for whom the delicate balance of keeping him smart enough for Batman but not having him dumbed down by constantly getting beaten by him has proved difficult.

Love to Hate / int_2f203125	comment	Part of the appeal of the Shin Megami Tensei series is that many games feature God — and not just any god, it's YHVH, the Abrahamic God — as the Big Bad and a subset of those games feature him as a Final Boss that you can kill, whether you like showing you're above massively powerful deities or are not terribly keen on Abrahamic religions. YHVH's cabal of four Archangels — Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Gabriel — fall under the same boat for many of the same reasons. Hell, in one ending of Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, humans' power of observation — more specifically, you and your comrades' refusal to believe in Him, refusal to accept what he claims to offer for humanity — reduces him to a mere demon like all of the other gods He's subjugated.

Kimblee also gets a lot of love from the fanbase, for being the well-dressed Breaking Speeching bomb-throwing SOB that he is. Envy is this for the saner contingent of the fanbase (those who don't try to put him in leather pants) since it's easy to see him as cool, yet still despise him not only for killing Maes Hughes but for starting the Ishvalan War. Then there's Pride for being a Creepy Child and The Dragon to Father, plus how unsettling he is. For Fullmetal Alchemist (2003), it wouldnâ€™t be difficult to find a fan who tells you how much they love Dante then immediately lists out the reasons she is a horrible, despicable person that should never be forgiven. It is usually because her goals are rather realistic and believable but still so completely petty that you canâ€™t help but like her and get disgusted by her at the same time. Plus, she is quite good-looking (at least, after she took over poor Lyraâ€™s body).

He's a sadistic criminal who annoys everyone he meets...but the show would be less funny without him, which leads to his death when Cerebus Syndrome kicks in. Adam Taurus cements himself as this in his brief appearance in Volume 3. Even the show's writers are disgusted by him, and to say the fandom would really like to see him get his comeuppance is an Understatement. Brutally maiming Yang, one of the most universally liked characters on the show, will do that. Word of God also suggests that Adam was an abusive boyfriend to Blake in her time in the White Fang. Co-Dragons Mercury and Emerald also get some of this, especially Mercury, who is a snarky Jerkass who is one of the most capable fighters in the series. It helps that the fight scenes that he is involved in tend to be some of the best in the show. The "hate" part comes into play mainly due to their involvement in Yang being framed, and then topping it by murdering Penny.

The Deep is a sleazy, abusive scumbag, but the show spends a lot of time showing how truly pathetic he is. It can be tremendously cathartic and entertaining to see him constantly fuck up and in constant fear. It's aided by Chace Crawford's shamelessly self-pitying performance. Stormfront's Smug Snake personality gives her an incredible presence thanks to Aya Cash's excellent performance, and once she's outed as a racist sociopath (and eventually, an actual Nazi!) who's not only a Distaff Counterpart to Homelander but somehow angers the man himself, audiences quickly embraced her as the ultimate Hate Sink.

Love to Hate / int_396e0331	comment	A Classic Disney Shorts villain: Pete, in almost all of his performances especially the ones performed by Jim Cummings. A sizable portion of the Goof Troop fandom loves him for being three-dimensional and a consistently hilarious Chew Toy due to Laser-Guided Karma (and because he's played by Jim Cummings) despite hating him for reasons that would normally make a character into The Scrappy such as being a Manipulative Bastard without being a Magnificent Bastard and deliberately tormenting The Woobie. However, that doesn't mean everyone feels this way: he gets a fair share of Draco in Leather Pants and complete hatred too.

Love to Hate / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Several villains in the Dragon Ball franchise: Tao Pai Pai, Freeza, Cell, Buu, Broly, Cooler, among others. They have amazingly cool appearances and powers, after all. Goku Black from Dragon Ball Super is shown to be a smug, arrogant bastard who is fully willing to commit mass-scale genocide to create a "utopia" free from mortals. Yet, his speech patterns that is helped by Nozawa's voice acting, the way he performs them in gracefulness, and being an overall badass villain has made him one of the most beloved villains in the series. On the other scale of the duumvirate is Zamasu. He is shown to be a racist, narcissistic, and manipulative Supreme Kai who desires to commit genocide of all mortals but the way he does it is completely hypocritical considering that he is fully willing to commit genocide on all the gods. Yet it is these qualities that make him well-loved by the fandom, though not quite as much as Black.

Love to Hate / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Dolores Umbridge is an interesting example. There are eviller villains in the series, to be sure, but none of them are quite so passive-aggressive about it, nor are many of them the type of people readers might actually encounter in real life. As a result, Umbridge is more fun to hate even than the Big Bad. Bellatrix may be a better example because she actually has enjoyable qualities as a character - she's badass, sexy, hopelessly insane, and Helena Bonham Carter gave a fittingly psychotic performance in the films. By contrast, Umbridge's character mostly exists to be a Hate Sink. Voldemort himself qualifies, seeing how he was voted the #1 villain in a poll that decided which character was the best literary villain. Draco Malfoy and his father Lucius, whenever they're not getting the Draco in Leather Pants treatment. Vernon Dursley, Harryâ€™s abusive and wizard-hating uncle. While the rest of the Dursley family gradually comes to respect Harry, Vernon never ceases to be petty and mean. Nevertheless, thanks to his many quotes and blunders, as well as Richard Griffithsâ€™ scenery-chewing film portrayal, Vernon contributes to many funny and meme-worthy moments.

Love to Hate / int_3d22c14b	comment	Gundam 00 gives us both the main villain and his top enforcer. Ribbons Allmark is a Smug Snake, The Chessmaster, and the poisonously smug leader of the Innovators, making claims of godhood while believing himself to be the savior of the humans he wants to rule over. He is also one of the most skilled Gundam pilots in the franchise, being the original pilot of the first created Gundam in the series proper, and orchestrating the events of the series while playing the world like a fiddle. "Prince" Ali Al-Saachez also qualifies for being a rogue-ish, smooth-talking Psycho for Hire who gladly admits he's the worst kind of person. Despite his monstrous personality and status as a Hero Killer, he wins serious points for his Ace Pilot skills being enough to rival all of Celestial Being's Gundam pilots, his tendency to bitch-slap the occasional asshole as much as he does step on less deserving people, and the hammy, bombastic personality he exudes in combat. As loathsome as he is, he is made of evil awesome.

Love to Hate / int_437c83b7	comment	My Little Pony: FIENDship Is Magic: Nightmare Moon has been a victim of Villain Decay. Her debut had her fail to be anything more than a nuisance before her defeat, even her original confrontation with Celestia was over surprisingly fast and she still failed to do anything else. Her entire established history on the show had her fail to live up to her villainous reputation. Here, she shows more cruelty than ever before, retroactively took over as the Big Bad in the comics arc that implied she was a pawn, and even in defeat, was able to spend her 1000 year banishment inflicting nightmares on ponykind as revenge. Her finally showing why she became associated with Nightmare Fuel in-universe has been well received. Chrysalis' issue has made her more this than ever. The reveal she's existed for at least 1000 years prior and spent much of it not being sealedaway. What she and the changelings did during this time, and their origins, are even darker than what was expected of them, raising their threat level. Chrysalis shows impressive brilliance throughout, like having a changeling impersonate her, letting her get the drop on everyone despite suspicions of "her" behavior being a trap and break out. Scoring the first straight case of The Bad Guy Wins in the series has left fans excited for what she'll do next.

Love to Hate / int_44127c7c	comment	Power Rangers: Lord Zedd, as he was one of the scariest, intimidating, and badass villains in his first appearance as well as one of those not based on Sentai footage. He even retains some of this after his Villain Decay as it can be seen that he actually had more victories AFTER his marriage to Rita than before it. Through a non-canon example IVAN OOZE from the movie. He's bound to make you laugh at some point in the movie. Being played by Paul Freeman certainly helps. Astronema, for her good looks and attitude, badassery, and much darker personality compared to the earlier villains. Trakeena, very similar to Astronema, but with only a more genuinely evil personality and desire to destroy the Power Rangers. It helps that she actually developed from a Spoiled Brat into a vicious alien warlord capable of holding her own against the Rangers and sending her own men to destroy her enemies as suicide bombers. Master Org is one of the most ruthless and menacing villains in the entire franchise, with no redeeming or even comedic qualities. Dr. Viktor Adler, in particular is childish, hateful to even his own minions, and was even willing to kill a baby and his parents out of petty jealousy. Despite this, Master Org was actually liked by fans for his ground-breaking evil instead of being despised. He was also able to successfully destroy all the Wild Zords, nearly kill the Rangers themselves, and overall darken the entire series with his mere presence. Master Org may be a monster and many other things, but he is certainly anything but forgettable. Vexacus is a menacing yet delightfully hateable villain in a sea of otherwise incompetent villains or villains who have limits. He is not afraid to darken the setting of this otherwise lighthearted series nor amuse us with his snide remarks and sarcasm. He is also a dangerous and cunning warrior whose badassery on the battlefield makes him a popular villain. Mesogog, whose Deadpan Snarker tendencies, creepy appearance, and cold, calculated reasoning have made him one of the most popular villains in the franchise. Venjix is very popular due to being the most dangerous, successful, and perhaps the most evil villain ever conceived in the franchise, having destroyed most of the world in the backstory and keeping the RPM Rangers on their toes as a constant threat that never suffers any Villain Decay. When Evox was revealed as the latest incarnation of Venjix, fans were ecstatic at seeing how his storyline ends. Serrator, due to being such a badass villain, always wiping the floor with the Rangers. His sophisticated, teacher-like demeanor also highlights his coolness. The only thing that matches Serrator's awesomeness is his sadism and evil. Vrak, like his Sentai counterpart Brajira, is often considered to be one of the redeeming factors of Megaforce. He is easily described as many things: a sadistic, sociopathic master manipulator who often plays everyone like a piano, a badass warrior who often gives the Rangers a hard time, and one of the most evil and ruthless villains in Power Rangers history. Plus, his numerous menacing, cool forms, ranging from a cyborg to an insectoid armor, are also considered one of his awesome features. There's a reason why he is also one of the most popular villains in the franchise. Being based on an equally cool, manipulative Sentai counterpart helps, too.

Even with an abundance of villains, the High Evolutionary still manages to stand out as one of the cruelest and most detestable Big Bads in the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, and is just as beloved because of this. It helps that Chukwudi Iwuji's intense performance makes the character an all the more enjoyable to watch and root against.

Its personality and all its actions against the cast are utterly despicable, making it highly cathartic when Kong puts the creature in the ground, yet it's anatomically and visually a very beautiful and fascinating mix-and-match marine monster to behold, and it poses a scarily powerful, competent and personal antagonistic threat to the cast whose presence can be felt very keenly and sends all humor out the window, making an effective Big Bad.

Love to Hate / int_5755b96a	comment	The Order of the Stick: Played for Laughs with Faux Affably Evil Cloudcuckoolander Xykon and Evil Twin Nale, among others. A lot of the fandom's love for Xykon stems from the fact he's a convincingly written For the Evulz who still manages to be a Brilliant, but Lazy Cloudcuckoolander. Miko's fall from grace turned her from simply Scrappy to this. When she killed the Cool Old Guy, the hatred she'd garnered up to that point reached critical mass, in-universe and out. Tarquin, who manages to be smug, Genre Savvy, helpful, and balance competence with being a Large Ham, is a meta-example. He knows he's an evil archvillain, and will eventually get defeated by a dashing hero, but he's entirely okay with that because at least he'll be an awesome villain whom everyone will like more than the hero.

His voice acting and being a Man of Wealth and Taste make him charismatic and popular with fans.

Love to Hate / int_5ada53ed	comment	Almost many of the James Bond Big Bads fit this trope to a tee, as it helps that many of them are damn cool as well. But a few villains stand out for being memorable: Goldfinger: Auric Goldfinger whose perfect blend of cruelty, charm, brilliance, and wit have made him the most famous Big Bad in the film series. His henchman Oddjob also ranks as one of the most popular henchmen in the entire franchise. Ernst Stavro Blofeld is by far the most personal of all of James Bond's enemies, since he's his Arch-Enemy. He's also the Trope Codifier for Right-Hand Cat, The Blofeld Ploy, and Diabolical Mastermind. Being played by great actors such as Telly Savalas, Donald Pleasence, and Christoph Waltz also helps. Blofeld's henchmen Dr. No, Rosa Klebb, Red Grant, Emilio Largo, Mr. Wint, Mr. Kidd, Le Chiffre, Mr. White, and Mr. Hinx also qualify. Live and Let Die: Baron Samedi, to the point that he even makes an appearance as a playable character in GoldenEye (1997). The Man with the Golden Gun: Francisco Scaramanga and Nick Nack. The former is an Evil Counterpart of 007 and played by Christopher Lee, who later played Dracula, Saruman, and Count Dooku. The latter ranks as one of the most popular henchmen, especially due to his height. The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker: Jaws ranks as one of the most well-liked henchmen in the franchise to the point that he's one of the few villains to actually survive his movie, even having Joker Immunity. His popularity is probably the reason that he ends up surviving and making a Heelâ€“Face Turn. The Big Bad of Moonraker, Hugo Drax, also qualifies as he's one of the darkest Bond villains. A View to a Kill: Max Zorin who stands out as one of the most psychotic villains that Bond has ever gone up against, yet his actor Christopher Walken puts on such an awesome performance that he becomes really enjoyable to watch onscreen. His Dragon May Day also counts as well, being a Dark Action Girl. Goldeneye: Alec Trevelyan to the point that on top Bond villain countdowns, he usually ranks near the top when it comes to Bond villains that have never appeared in an Ian Fleming novel. Being a Diabolical Mastermind that serves as one of Bond's best Evil Counterpart helps. His henchmen General Ourumov, Boris Grishenko and Xenia Onatopp are also pretty great villains in their own right and just as evil as their boss. Tomorrow Never Dies: Elliot Carver is a truly despicable Big Bad, but his Evil Is Hammy theatrics and Chewing the Scenery via his actor Jonathan Pryce make him an utter blast to watch. Skyfall: Raoul Silva who's able to fluctuate between being a giggling goofball and a dangerous murderer with little provocation. Sometimes being both at the same time. This has made him one of the most popular Bond villains in recent times.

Love to Hate / int_5afbc0cb	comment	Undertale: Flowey, a talking flower. Looks silly and childish, right? Well, his first course of action after introducing himself to you is to trick you into running into bullets aka "friendliness pellets", then soon afterwards changing from his innocent-looking smile into one of his signature Nightmare Faces while declaring his intent to kill you. This and his subsequent, spoilery appearances make for well-lauded sources of Nightmare Fuel, especially in the Neutral path when he force-closes the game on you, hijacks the game and your save file, and shows up in a terrifying One-Winged Angel form capable of using Save Scumming against you. Never have the words "FILE x SAVED/LOADED" (commonly associated with emulator savestates) been so effectively terrifying. Chara, the Fallen Child. At least, to those who consider them evil, theyâ€™re a chilling Deconstruction of the typical RPG hero, killing for the sake of power, manipulating those around them to accomplish their goals, even roping the player into a killing spree, and generally being a cruel Omnicidal Maniac and perfect partner to Flowey. On a less serious note. Jerry, The Friend Nobody Likes, who is "spared" by conspiring with the other monsters to ditch him mid-battle, and is an unbelievably durable Stone Wall just to make sure murdering him on the Genocide run is just as annoying. And even then, the Fallen Child on a "No Mercy" run is willing to spare him at the start of battle, which has been interpreted as either the Child not wanting to bother taking the time to kill him, or deciding that having him be an obnoxious presence to other monsters is crueler than just killing him outright. Jerry is even hated in Neutral and Genocide speedruns because killing him takes longer than finding another encounter and killing them. Thanks to all this, hating Jerry is more a fandom in-joke than an actual expression of malice. Even the "hate art" focuses mostly on how much the other characters hate him.

Love to Hate / int_6b85085e	comment	Make no mistake about it, Kano of Mortal Kombat is a bastard, through and through. A gun runner, smuggler, realm-traitor, and unrepentant sociopath, the heroic members of the cast openly despise him and even his fellow bad guys can only just barely tolerate him. Despite this, his over-the-top ham and equally over-the-top Australian-ness have cemented him as a character who's both fun to watch and fun to watch getting his ass kicked.

Sure, his cinematic implies that he is trying to atone and become a better person, and lore seems to suggest that he was forced into the action, but so far all we've seen is him being a major dick. Everyone likes him despite and maybe because of his asshole-ish behavior and snarky voicelines.

He's just so good at what he does that it's hard not to admire him, even as you root for the heroes to stop him. There's a reason the fans nicknamed him the Magnificent Bastard. Brainiac receives similar treatment. He's utterly cold and never shows a hint of emotion or remorse. And that's why the fans love him. James Marsters' snarky performance helped.

Love to Hate / int_72262aee	comment	Avatar: The Last Airbender: Pre-Heelâ€“Face Turn Prince Zuko is an Anti-Villain example. Considered the most well-developed character in the show. Princess Azula, Zuko's sister, is one of the nastiest characters in the series. She casually manipulates and intimidates people and is perfectly willing and able to kill if it advances her agenda. However, her charismatic way of villainy is very entertaining to watch, as well as how effective she is as a villain since the term Magnificent Bastard really applies to her. Long Feng is the Treacherous Advisor to the Earth King who is very effective at keeping a Government Conspiracy going on. Like Azula, Long Feng is a very charismatic villain, but not on her level, as he, unfortunately, experiences when dealing with her. Zuko is hardly a character whose villainy is enjoyable and Azula is cool enough to qualify as hate to love. But Zhao on the other hand, he's got that kind of obnoxiousness only the best Smug Snake can provide: making you groan on sight yet strangely liking it.

Love to Hate / int_73d7930f	comment	Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Gul Dukat, the former Prefect of Bajor, is continuously scheming to retake the planet while sincerely protesting that he was the best thing to happen to it, and all those Bajoran rebels just didn't understand. He doesn't see any evil in himself, genuinely loves his daughter, and wants very badly to have a Worthy Opponent relationship with Captain Sisko—at the same time, he stalks Kira, throws himself in with a doomsday cult, and beats an injured Sisko with a crowbar at one point. More often he gets Draco in Leather Pants, but Marc Alaimo's nuanced and charismatic performance means that he's universally considered a great character. Weyoun, played by Trek veteran Jeffrey Combs, is another popular villain. Weyoun has smarm down to a science (helped along by genetic engineering), always trying to convince whoever he's talking to that they really will appreciate that dagger in their back, it's a mark of the new friendship between them and the Dominion. The moments when he experiences Clone Angst give him just enough sympathy. Kai Winn is the queen of passive-aggressive behavior. She is almost universally reviled by fans because of just how well-written she is (many can say they know someone like her on a small scale). She's nearly as smarmy as Weyoun and bitter at Sisko for taking her place as Bajor's religious leader; it's a plot twist if she shows up and isn't the cause of the A-Plot. Her actress, Louise Fletcher, compared her to a pope: not the international modern versions, but the ruthless, conniving medieval pontiffs who made the Inquisition famous.

RagnarÃ¶k proves that he's every bit the tyrant described in the previous game. However, between his charmingly Faux Affably Evil demeanor and Richard Schiff's charismatic performance, he proves to be quite entertaining to watch whenever he's onscreen. Heimdall is Odin's most loyal follower and a Jerkass of the highest caliber. He's unbelievably smug and mean-spirited to everyone, something done with so much earnesty that it somehow loops around to entertaining. It also makes his well-deserved beatdown from Kratos all the sweeter.

Love to Hate / int_7d1c83da	comment	Better Call Saul: Chuck McGill is a smug, conceited hypocrite driven by envy and rage to destroy his deeply flawed yet loving brother, which earned him a lot of hate from the fandom. He is, however, also considered just as compelling to watch as any of the series' other characters to his complexity, how formidable he is as an antagonist, the genuine good points he makes about Jimmy from time to time, the humorous moments that come from his arrogance, and the tragedy of his bizarre mental illness (which is never played for laughs or as weakness). There's also Michael McKean's powerful and layered performance, which makes Chuck as fascinating to watch as he is eminently hateable. Notably, Chuck's death at the end of Season 3 has been met not with cheers or triumph but with genuine sadness from the fandom. On the flipside, his guest appearance in a flashback in the series finale was met with universal approval by the fandom. Lalo Salamanca, in contrast to most of his family, is both effortlessly charming and completely ruthless, with an unpredictability and pragmatism that keeps the audience guessing as to what he's going to do next. He is both physically intimidating and intelligent enough that Gus Fring actively fears him, showing a side of Gus never seen before. He's a total departure from most other villains in the Breaking Bad universe, and a perfect foil for Jimmy and Gus both.

Love to Hate / int_81f5d35d	comment	Kamen Rider has several despicable villains who get this honor. Helps that several of them are also very cool to go along with their evil: Kamen Rider Ryuki has Takeshi Asakura/Kamen Rider Ouja, an uncaring serial killer who subverts just about anything resembling redeemability. His parents died in a fire...that he caused out of boredom. He saves a little girl...for monster bait and doesn't care she's going to die. He wanted to reunite with his brother...because he hadn't died in the fire and he wanted to make sure he knew what a horrible person he was. But every single time, he looks cool doing it and it's fun to see him be so horrible. Kamen Rider 555: Masato Kusaka has a strong claim to being most hated character of the entire franchise in the Western hemisphere. To the point where the Western fandom gave a collective cheer when Kiba kills him by breaking Kusaka's neck. Notably, this is a good thing because we're SUPPOSED to hate this guy, so it's not much of a problem. Fans both in the East and West have even declared September 13 (A play on his activation code "9-1-3") "Masato Kusaka Day", celebrating how much of an asshole this guy is. Even his own creators and voice actors have joined in and are proud to have created such a following. So, good job? From Kamen Rider Gaim there's Professor Ryoma Sengoku, hands down. He's a total monster willing to use anything and anyone to achieve his goal had a hand in killing Mai, and destroy Kaito's hard-earned power up. But on the other hand, his hammy and memetic behaviors are hilarious. Kamen Rider Drive has Medic Roidmude, a coldhearted, sociopathic bitch with intentions of eugenic purging, manipulative plotting, a habit of constantly showing up Brain to the point of making him a Jerkass Woobie, and she has enough cruelty to supplant Heart as Drive's Arch-Enemy almost entirely by virtue of the fact that she really is just that evil. She is considered to rightfully be one of the best villains in the show because of this. From Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is Kuroto Dan, an insane, egomaniacal sadist who makes sure to give people a bad day when he's not planning things out. He's insanely petty, going to the absolute extreme when his ego is the slightest bit bruised, he boasts about his genius with a ridiculous hamminess in both speech and facial expressions whenever he feels like, and if you want him to get punched in the face, that's normal considering how much he feels the need to taunt his opponents at a range where they could easily do so, but rarely end up doing. While it's fun to see him get beaten up, it's more fun to see him just be a horrible human being that does everything in an over-the-top manner. Kamen Rider Build gives us Blood Stalk/Evolt, a thoroughly cruel megalomaniac who wishes to wipe out all life in the universe and loves to Kick the Dog For the Evulz. But his cool factor and his fun and laid back personality with lots of bright colors added in to make him an enjoyable antagonist when onscreen. Taken even further by his upgrade into Kamen Rider Evol. You thought the other evil riders and pseudo riders in Build were walking swag factories of puppy-kicking hate and balls-blasting epic. In comes Evolt who pretty much exists to exclaim the virtues that evil gets all the cool toys.

Love to Hate / int_88fce462	comment	The King of Fighters: Most of the series' Final Bosses tend to qualify if only because, well, they're SNK Bosses of the highest caliber, straight from the Trope Namer themselves. With some exceptions like Krizalid or Original Zero, these are the stand-out examples: Rugal Bernstein is a bastard of the highest order. Murderous, petty, and with a nasty god complex on top of that, he's committed some of the most vile atrocities before the series even began, such as the murder of Heidern's entire 50-man battalion, killing his wife and daughter, and taking his eye from him for good measure. It's for this reason and his notoriety as an SNK Boss (especially in his debut game and 2002) in general that he's the shining example of this trope in the franchise. Ash Crimson is a rare Villain Protagonist example. He's a cocky, conniving, treacherous little brat that pulled the wool over the eyes of both his own teammates and Those From The Past, the likes of which included its leader Saiki, who also happened to be his ancestor. Additionally, he also Depowered Chizuru Kagura and Iori Yagami, taking their powers for his own personal gain and earning the ire of one furious Kyo Kusanagi and Yagami himself (so much so that they actually put aside their differences to get back at him for what he did to Chizuru). And despite all of this, in the end, it was for a much nobler cause, as he intended to use the Sacred Treasures' namesake artifacts to aid in his quest to stop his ancestor from summoning Orochi for his own ends, outright sacrificing his entire existence in doing so. In his tenure as the arc protagonist of KOF, Ash has earned quite a reputation in-universe and out, making him one of the more memorable characters in the series (for better or worse), as a result.

Love to Hate / int_8ac4e993	comment	Several villains from the Gundam franchise: Gihren Zabi of Mobile Suit Gundam. He's universally acknowledged as the biggest psychopath in the show and loved for it. Also from Mobile Suit Gundam, Char Aznable is treacherous, hypocritical and sociopathic at times, but he's also an extremely skilled pilot able to mount a serious threat to the protagonists and has such a charisma to him that it's hard not to enjoy him whenever he's onscreen. It also makes it all the more fun to root against him when Amuro Ray finally settles his rivalry with him in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack. Paptimus Scirocco is a Manipulative Bastard who deceives and betrays just about everyone, while Yazan Gable acts as Scirocco's enforcer and has a bloodthirsty love of killing. Despite this, the two of them are among the most enjoyable characters in Zeta Gundam even as they're doing despicable things. Scirocco for being the only intelligent character in a show full of immature children, and Yazan for being a Badass Normal Hero Killer in a series where Newtypes are usually the only characters to achieve anything of import. Haman Karn of Zeta Gundam and Gundam ZZ. She's a devious bitch who does some very bad things, but she's so ruthless and diabolical you can never truly loathe her even if you're rooting against her. ZZ also has Glemmy Toto, who's enough of a bastard to make Haman seem nice (particularly in the manga). Katejina Loos of Victory Gundam is well-loved for her insane personality, being a major Hero Killer and her memorable moments in the series, and at the same time hated for all the horrible things that she has done to the point where her fate is considered to be fitting punishment by many fans. Rau Le Creuset of Gundam SEED, who singlehandedly talked the world into self-destruction while coming off as a seemingly impossible combination of Char Aznable, Emperor Palpatine, and Hannibal Lecter. Gundam 00 gives us both the main villain and his top enforcer. Ribbons Allmark is a Smug Snake, The Chessmaster, and the poisonously smug leader of the Innovators, making claims of godhood while believing himself to be the savior of the humans he wants to rule over. He is also one of the most skilled Gundam pilots in the franchise, being the original pilot of the first created Gundam in the series proper, and orchestrating the events of the series while playing the world like a fiddle. "Prince" Ali Al-Saachez also qualifies for being a rogue-ish, smooth-talking Psycho for Hire who gladly admits he's the worst kind of person. Despite his monstrous personality and status as a Hero Killer, he wins serious points for his Ace Pilot skills being enough to rival all of Celestial Being's Gundam pilots, his tendency to bitch-slap the occasional asshole as much as he does step on less deserving people, and the hammy, bombastic personality he exudes in combat. As loathsome as he is, he is made of evil awesome. Desil Galette of Gundam AGE is also heading in this direction. A seven-year-old Sociopathic Soldier who becomes the hero's archenemy? That'll get you on the fandom's radar.

He starts off as the charming, handsome victim of Darcy's selfishness, but a few strokes of Darcy's quill expose him as an unprincipled cad who seduces people's younger sisters. Janeites take every opportunity to gleefully trash him.

He is a teddy bear who cracks bear puns like no one's business, has an awesomely twisted theme song, and indulges in innuendos and black comedy. He's also more than happy to manipulate high schoolers into murdering each other for no reason other than to make them suffer ultimate despair, crushing their hopes and dreams at every opportunity. And yet, he's proven to be one of the most popular characters in the entire series. By extension, thereâ€™s â€œhisâ€� true identity, the Ultimate Fashionista Junko Enoshima, who loves to pull off complicated gambits and, oh, destroyed the entire world.

It's also so satisfying to see Alex Murphy give him his just desserts and put an end to his ruthless gang. Cain in RoboCop 2 is one of the creepiest villains in the series. He likes to kill minions just for being loose ends who have outlived their usefulness, and is utterly sadistic to those who rat on him. Tom Noonan really makes the character his own, with his emotionless delivery and confident gait like he's one step ahead of his enemies. When he gets transformed into a giant cyborg, Robocop confronts him for a climatic battle and delivers his comeuppance.

Persona 5: Fans generally agree that Kamoshida is one of the best-written and most delightfully despicable antagonists in the game. Some have gone as far as criticizing the game for peaking too early due to this. The only other antagonist to rival Kamoshida in this category is Masayoshi Shido. He is responsible for ruining the life of the Player Character over the pettiest reason and is willing to murder innocents, including his own son all to improve his career. Fans seem to enjoy his onscreen appearance and love hearing his speeches, though clearly not as much as they love giving Shido the ass-kicking he deserves.

He's abusive towards his family, rude towards just about everyone else, only saves people for the fame and glory, is childishly jealous of All Might, and has done more evil than most of the actual supervillains. He's also widely beloved as one of the best antagonists in the series; his despicable behavior really makes him stand out and he's legitimately badass, with a great design. Many fans eagerly hope that the heroes eventually fight him, not only because he deserves it, but because such a battle would likely be really awesome.

Love to Hate / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: The evil Joffrey (like his book counterpart) is so despicable that his actor Jack Gleeson gets a lot of praise from the fandom for making him so easy to hate. It helps that he's so often and so thoroughly put in his place by characters like his uncle Tyrion (Tyrion slapping Joffrey is a major meme) and grandfather Tywin. Tywin himself, even more so than his book counterpart, if for no other reason than being portrayed by the incredibly charismatic Charles Dance. A Deadpan Snarker and nearly always the smartest guy in the room. He rules his family (and often the Seven Kingdoms in every way that matters) with an iron fist and can often be pointlessly cruel, but his perfect poise and utter lack of self-doubt make it fascinating to watch him work. Just like in the books, the monstrous Ramsay Bolton is just so vile and despicable that it is hard to look away. It certainly helps that he is given a tremendous performance by Iwan Rheon who somehow manages to make this vile monster weirdly charismatic. Ramsay also shows that although heâ€™s even viler than Joffrey, unlike Joffrey, Ramsay is actually highly intelligent and cunning and does his dirty work himself. Ramsay is probably the most vile and despicable character in the series but that only makes him more fun to watch.

Love to Hate / int_b407d2d7	comment	Yuuya Kizami from Corpse Party. A sociopath who spends the entirety of the game hunting down and viciously murdering his classmates and friends. Also one of the most popular characters in the fandom, largely in part due to an amazingly hammy performance from Tomokazu Sugita that makes his deluded arrogance so fun to watch. In addition, the Big Bad is a sadistic child killer whose M.O. is trapping innocent schoolchildren in a nightmare world and tormenting them in creatively cruel ways. Also loves to taunt them. Yet theyâ€™re nonetheless loved for it, and watching their evil in action is a major draw of the franchise. Sachiko the Girl in Red is also an ancient evil in the form of a little girl, and is a Magnificent Bastard comparable to Monokuma for the way they love to drive the cast to despair, being a Mascot Villain, and tricking the party into thinking sheâ€™s on their side.

Hate Sink Alpha Bitch rival Catarina was utterly adored for her status as an entertainingly aggressive and bitchy villain who acted as a cathartic Asshole Victim in almost all of the routes including her, to the point that when the Fortune Lover II sequel was made, it specifically followed off the "Friendship" route because it was the only route that gave a perfect excuse for her continuing to antagonize the characters, and thus setting up more situations for her to act as an entertaining jerk. Of course, the actual main-story reason for such an occurrence is as a setup for the Catarina with her Past-Life Memories that became a Nice Girl to experience new plots and meet new characters.

Love to Hate / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai: Doctor Kemp of Liveman is a pompous and self-absorbed egomaniac, but because of how much of an unrepentant narcissist he is, he's an incredibly fun villain to root against. Count Radiguet from Jetman, considered one of the most evil villains ever produced by Sentai, is also loved for his cool design, badass scenes and his interactions with his own allies and the Jetmen, while hated at the same time for his sadistic personality combined with the horrible things he inflicted on the Jetmen and so many others. Seventh Spear, Sandaaru, from Hurricaneger due to being so damn awesome and so evil at the same time. Bring a formidable badass into a sea of incompetent, over-the-top, and humorous villains, and you get one memorable villain. Long from Gekiranger, for having a badass final form and being a Manipulative Bastard easily able to match the aforementioned Radiguet in terms of vileness. Dokokou Chimatsuri from Shinkenger, the main antagonist. He has fought the titular heroes more than once and basically flattened them without breaking a sweat. He manages to reduce an apparent Dragon-in-Chief Akomaru to Big Bad Wannabe whenever he appears on-screen. His volcanic temper and obnoxiousness are also both amusing and terrifying to watch, and his demonic appearance just adds on to his awesomeness. Buredoran (aka Brajira) from Goseiger, due to being an expert chessmaster as well as being Manipulative Bastard par excellence. He's well-liked to such a degree that it's to the point where some fans outright admitted that they're just watching the show because of him. Enter from Go-Busters has proven to be quite popular amongst fans, who like him not only because of his enjoyment of being the bad guy but also due to being a quite credible threat, being able to go toe-to-toe with the Go-Busters in fights and succeeding in several of his missions.

There is also Kirei's servant Gilgamesh, a colossal prick who longs to make the heroine Saber his, wants the whole world to himself, and, like Kirei, loves to do evil just cause. He also has the power to back up his smug attitude. The other Master/Servant pair to receive such accolades is Ryuunosuke Uryuu and Bluebeard/Caster from Fate/Zero. They both are shown to be quite the bombastic performers for the theatrics. They even discuss this trope, with Ryuunosuke claiming that in his world-view, God is a playwright writing the greatest tale known to man and thus loves all of his characters no matter how wicked they are; after all, what good is a tale without a villain? Caster embraces Ryuunosuke's ideology and decides that the pair shall honor God by performing an act of villainy unmatched so far in Creation.

Going back to the Dudleys' original run in ECW, Bubba Ray described them as "the definition of the word 'heel', we were the worst of the worst," bordering on Hate Sink; they weren't afraid to cut incendiary promos where they would directly insult the crowd, nearly causing riots in some cases, and compelling people to pay good money to see them get beat up. In a WWE-produced retrospective of the Dudleys' ECW and WWE careers, Bubba Ray mentioned that they went to the lengths they did because heels are supposed to be hated, not "cool" like contemporary heel groups such as the nWo or D-Generation X.

These guys look like they stepped off a Heavy Metal album cover. Orks — Laughably Evil, the green tide is full of murderous interstellar fratboy hooligans who will cut a bloody swath across the galaxy for no other reason than because it is damn good fun. This is reflected in their unpredictable, uncomplicated, and crazy style of gameplay. Dark Eldar — Cruel beyond belief, wearing armor covered in blades, the Dark Eldar will capture and torture any who are not swift enough to get out of their way (and very few are) simply because they like watching others suffer. Not only are they swift and deadly, but they look gorgeous doing it.

Plus, he's a killer at singing. All of this makes him a very amusing treat to watch. The Vees. Vox is a cruel, exploitative Corrupt Corporate Executive who hypnotizes entire masses into buying his morally-questionable products, doesn't seem to care about his teammate and implicit boyfriend Valentino's sexual abuser habits, and he spitefully outright shrieks at Sir Pentious to kill himself in the second episode for failing so quickly at a task. But he's perpetually suave and charming, with a very smooth voice courtesy of Christian Borle — an effect that's heightened by how he seems to be the minder to Val's impulses — and his exasperation at being forced to play the babysitter when his teammates are in a bad mood makes him come across as very human and relatable. It also helps that he has an intense obsessive rivalry with Alastor, but his insecure-looking if stylish efforts to undermine the Radio Demon in the Quarreling Song and the final outcome of that make Vox's efforts come across as nothing but cute. Velvette is a young, blunt, brash fashionista who dominates Hell's social media, and a bitch in multiple senses of the word. She's a brazen upstart relative to the non-Vee older Overlords who is deliberately as rude as she can be to all their faces, she's a Smug Snake who thinks she's hot shit due to the Vees' immediate success and wants Hell to go to war with Heaven in a bull-headed manner, and she deliberately undermines Carmilla and insults Zestial to her own ends. But she's also more cunning than she looks, she has a stylish design, her pride and brazenness give her a certain appeal, and she absolutely slays in the "Respectless" duet. It also helps that Velvette, though not a Benevolent Boss by any means, isn't confirmed to be anywhere near as horrible to her employees as the other two Vees are towards theirsnote Vox casually sends his lowest earners up to Valentino's apartment to be used as target practice, while Val uses his position as a porn director to prolifically abuse his stars.. Even Valentino, who is easily the most detestable of the trio for his vicious exploitation and abuse of Angel Dust and his misogyny, is entertainingly goofy in his temper tantrums and self-absorption when he isn't in the same room as Angel — especially when Charlie at his set or Niffty at Consent are causing him grief, plus his accent is absolutely delicious to listen to.

Love to Hate / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Princess Luna's Nightmare Moon also has her share of followers. Of course, since her plan was to bring The Night That Never Ends (and in order to achieve this she was willing to kill members of the main cast) she is less loved by some and more respected by others. Discord. Being Laughably Evil makes him fun to watch but very easy to hate. Being voiced by John de Lancie went a long way to making him this and earning him the Fan Nickname DisQord from Star Trek. Not so much "Hate" now that he's performed a permanent Heelâ€“Face Turn, but he's still pretty damn cool nonetheless and still enjoyably a jerk but now in a more Poke the Poodle fashion. Queen Chrysalis, the elderly changeling with shapeshifting powers, she almost fooled the entire cast (except Twilight), and her plan led to defeating Celestia in a fight and a commendable Near-Villain Victory. This Manipulative Bitch is so nasty, hammy, and outright intriguing that fans can't not admire her. King Sombra, the Equinoid Abomination who was intriguing to the fandom because of his Sauron-like portrayal. Couple that with the fact that they showed outright pony slavery in his backstory, and the Series 5 finale showing what the world would look like if he won and you have a villain the fandom loves to portray negatively in fanfiction and fanart. Lord Tirek. This giant, demonic centaur showed up and completely laid waste to Equestria, blew up Twilight's library (nearly killing Owliscious in the process), imprisoned Celestia, Luna, and Cadance into Tartarus, and engaged Twilight Sparkle in an epic, Dragonball Z-esque duel. Starlight Glimmer, for a while, for being a villain who outright stole the cutie marks from ponies, thus denying them what made them special. Her end-of-season arc revolved around time travel to ensure that Twilight's friends never saw the sonic rainboom and never got their cutie marks as a result, in doing so always leading to an apocalyptic scenario for Equestria in some way every time. That is until she was redeemed at the end of the episode.

She lives by this rule and makes damn sure to earn everyone's love/hate. She fits out-of-universe as well since she is vile, sadistic, and despicable with a Trollish streak that would make Yuuki Terumi proud, which makes it very satisfying to hate her guts. Satsuki is also like this, before it's revealed that she was Good All Along. Her elitist, hypocritical, and outright reactionary attitude is sure to make the audience hate her as much as Ryuko does, especially since, unlike Nui, there's a greater chance of encountering someone like her in real life. Ragyo Kiryuin is one of the most awful parents in fiction due to her Parental Incest and No-Holds-Barred Beatdown on Satsuki but she makes very over-the-top entrances that fit right in the show and is a Large Ham making her pretty enjoyable to watch.

She also never suffers any serious Villain Decay throughout her appearances, and proved so formidable that it requires the might of multiple Legendary PokÃ©mon to finally bring her down. Lysandre is considered by most to be the anime's most effective Big Bad, being an Omnicidal Maniac and Manipulative Bastard toward Alain. The anime removes all of his sympathetic qualities from the games, but this is widely considered a good thing, as the sheer scale of his scheme has yet to be topped by any other villain.

His brother Tarrlok might be an even better example of the tropes' classic definition. Audiences detest him and they enjoy doing so. Varrick in season 2. Normally someone performing the actions he did would result in some massive hate against said character, but his charm, genuine politeness, and being a prime example of underestimating the goofball keep him being likable. Zaheer from the third season is one of the best-regarded villains from Korra, due to his complexity. He genuinely believes he is doing the right thing, tries to prevent innocent casualties in his plans, and follows a complex philosophy about freedom. Compared to Earth Queen Hou-Ting, who is a one-dimensional dictator, Zaheer is very entertaining to watch.

Russell Edgington is a hilarious Large Ham who steals every scene that heâ€™s in, but he also has zero actual redeeming qualities, meaning that while fans were highly entertained by him, they also rooted for his defeat and loved to see him finally meet his end. Steve Newlin, a corrupt preacher turned vampire, was already quite Camp as a human, which then got escalated into straight-up Large Ham status as a vampire, and then he even became best buddies with Russell Edgington himself too. He wasnâ€™t sympathetic enough to be a rootable character at any point, but he was nonetheless consistently entertaining. Finally, Sarah Newlin was a surprisingly effective Badass Normal who, unlike most of the Big Bad lineup, managed to become one of the showâ€™s all-time greatest threats without any powers at all. She was a completely despicable character, but entertaining and awesome enough to still be someone the fans loved to hate.

Love to Hate / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: Most of the villains, like Rumplestiltskin, Regina, and Captain Hook, quickly went through badass decay with their sympathetic backstories and quests for redemption. There are few major exceptions to this, though: Peter Pan, on the other hand, is well-loved for finally being a villain that's content to be nothing more than an obnoxious, pint-sized, sadistic little monster. His British accent and childlike demeanor only further his cruelty and his awesomeness. He is also omniscient and remained always one step ahead of the heroes in his plans. Zelena has kind of a sad backstory, but apart from the supernatural elements it's just really mundane, and mostly used to highlight that she made bad choices. She goes after a much more popular character who had it worse and did nothing to her, only to get defeated in apparent Badass Decay... and then come back stronger and crazier. Her only redeeming qualities are her honesty (to herself), her courage, and her determination to work as hard as she can to get the life she feels she deserves. To top it off, in an alternate reality where her life would be perfect, she's still a ridiculously spiteful Bitch in Sheep's Clothing, for no reason. Cruella has a comically tragic backstory that explains everything she did, we swear! It features a stuffy abusive mother who hates jazz music and fun, mysteriously becomes a serial widow, locks her daughter up in an attic, destroys her favorite flowers and sends her dalmatians to intimidate her baby daughter. Except mommy had to lock her up because Cruella was a child serial killer who used her beloved toxic trumpet flowers to poison her father and stepfathers. The attic was her mother's only alternative to actually sending her own flesh and blood to jail, and the dalmatians were her mother's only companions and protectors. None of it stops Cruella from killing the dogs and her mother, make herself a coat, and plan a killing spree. Dressed like a fabulous flapper. And occasionally playing Angry Birds.

Love to Hate / int_e5feb1e	comment	Nearly any villain from the Ace Attorney series. Each villain is thoroughly explored and wonderfully played. Case in point: Matt Engarde. He drove a woman to suicide, had a man assassinated, and had Maya Fey kidnapped as a bargaining chip, at which point she was nearly starved to death. Why? To preserve his image. He also manages to sneak a glass of bourbon into the detention center. His reveal to Phoenix Wright was top-notch, and the fact that he taunts you about Maya's capture makes him all the better. He forces a Sadistic Choice on Phoenix (get him convicted and have Maya killed, or get him off the hook for the sake of Maya) that makes him question his moral beliefs, but Phoenix can turn it around and turn Engarde's choice-forcing back at him (Engarde pleads guilty and is presumably executed or given life in prison, or Engarde pleads not guilty and is assassinated by the very man he hired the moment he's out of police custody) for one of the most satisfying moments in the game.

Despite only making a small appearance, he quickly proves to be the most monstrous villain in the manga. A sadistic Psycho for Hire with the operative word being "psycho". He's also a depraved rapist and pedophile who nearly rapes Mayu. Yet because of this, he's one of the most memorable characters of the manga despite his brief appearances. If fans are talking about him, it's because they love talking about how sick and twisted he is.

But Megatron in particular gets a tone of praise from the readers, from being the one calling out Suzaku on most of his wrongdoings and questionable morality, to being a worthy opponent for Lelouch for everything he's done throughout the story, down to the very destruction of the Britannian Empire itself. One could say that Megatron is the embodiment of the kind of person meant to represent the kind of person Zero Requiem is meant to host the world's hatred, the only difference being that Megatron actively relishes in it. It's because of these that Code Prime's Megatron is an archetypal Iron117Prime villain fitting the qualities to a T.

Love to Hate / int_eb5d7301	comment	Amphibia: Once he was revealed to be Evil All Along, King Andrias was praised by fans for his status as the ultimate villain of the show and taking it into Darker and Edgier territory. He maintains a cheerful, eccentric and somewhat silly personality, even after his true colors are revealed and whilst conducting seriously evil actions, making him quite an entertaining and watchable villain; whilst his implicitly tragic backstory with his two friends, and the signs that he's genuinely capable of making emotional connections yet will sacrifice them like chess-pieces with sheer ruthlessness that would make Tywin Lannister proud make the character all the more dynamic. At the same time, all of the sheer needless, petty and Kick the Dog that Andrias conducts left and right on everyone who ever comes within ten feet of him, never mind him aiding the Core in turning Amphibia into a Polluted Wasteland and his active efforts to kill Anne and conquer Earth, very much make the audience root against him. The increasing Cry for the Devil he racks up as his true feelings on his evil plans and actions are further fleshed out, culminating in a surprisingly tear-jerking end to his menace, only makes the character's appeal even more universal. Darcy. They combine Faux Affably Evil and a ruthless ambition with the personality quirks of a thirteen-year-old to form an overall Psychopathic Womanchild personality which is amusing and terrifying and all-around entertaining to watch. At the same time, the sheer savage bloodlust with which they conduct themselves in "All In" (putting even Andrias' cruelty to shame) makes the audience cheer the heroes on when they start handing Darcy the latter's own ass, nevermind the Core's violent possession of Marcy beforehand to achieve this form.

PoH is one of the most evil villains in the series and is beloved because of this.

Despite being the textbook example of a Generic Doomsday Villain — he has no real personality, backstory, or motivation beyond "destroying the multiverse" — his demonstrations of grand destruction is of such an impressive, appropriately apocalyptic scope that one can easily take him as the multiverse's biggest monster, and as a result, it's hard to not find him memorable.

There are Organization XIII fans who aren't so eager to get them in the leather pants. These fans concede that Evil is Cool but point out that they are absolutely the bad guys. Master Xehanort himself. His debut game established his creds, but The Reveal that he's been gathering copies of himself from many timelines, and made plans for several potential futures further cranked up his competence, effectiveness as a villain and dastardliness all at once. Braig/Xigbar: He has always been known for being snarky, toying, and casually sadistic, and despite his evil nature his personality makes him one of the franchise's most memorable characters.

And it would be awesome. Not helped by the fact that he is the head of the agency that protects society from criminal and insane telepaths and when he takes part in an operation personally, he's usually Necessarily Evil. But he doesn't need to be so smug and boastful about it all the time. The major exception is when a business magnate comes up with a diabolical plan to enslave all telepaths with a virus. As he explains it with his calm fanaticism, your major reaction will be that you'll want to warn Bester of this threat, although the means which Bester does learn of it is despicable in itself. Neroon, one of the leaders of the Minbari Warrior Caste. He is a strong contestant for the show's greatest badass, having it made to the top in the galaxy's most powerful military where Asskicking Leads to Leadership. For him, he and his fellow warriors are the only ones capable of saving the Galaxy in a war that started a thousand years ago, while having to put up with incompetent politicians and priests, and he doesn't take crap from anyone, having no hesitation to kill everyone who gets in his way. But unlike most characters, he doesn't seem to seek any personal gain, doing what needs to be done. Mr. Morden. Nearly every time he appeared, he exuded a massive aura of confidence and menace that let the viewer know he was up to no good. He was the leading Manipulative Bastard of the series, in part because the "associates" he represented could grant many services to those he wished to manipulate. He also wore a nice suit.

There's also both of Samus' Evil Knockoffs, Dark Samus and SA-X, the former for providing some of the best fights in the Prime trilogy, and the latter of which is frequently cited as one of the scariest damn things in the entire series. Dark Samus even got into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate alongside Ridley. Metroid Dread introduced Raven Beak, a megalomaniacal Chozo with an eye towards conquering the galaxy. Between the novelty of his being an evil Chozo (a species more known for being Benevolent Precursors), his incredibly thrilling Final-Exam Boss fight, and his upstaging the somewhat contentious character Adam Malkovich by posing as him for most of the game, which both fans and detractors of Adam seem to like for different reasons, he's quickly become one of the highlights of Dread and a villain easily able to hold his own with the likes of Ridley in the hearts of fans who dearly want to punch him in the face.

The case could be made for Tarantulus, especially once they start playing up his Mad Scientist tendencies in later episodes. Blackarachnia before her High-Heelâ€“Face Turn, in earlier appearances of season one especially. Transformers: Animated: Megatron, due to being a Magnificent Bastard who's considered by many fans to be one of the best incarnations of the character. Starscream certainly qualifies. Hilarious and sometimes very deadly, the guy steals every scene he appears in. Also Meltdown, given he's one of the only human villains that actually poses a threat to the Autobots. Even if he is dwarfed by the Decepticons. Sentinel Prime is a rare "hero" example. For his sheer jackassery and being an arrogant, abrasive foil to the modest, friendly Optimus Prime, he ends up being a lot more tolerable than he should be. Maybe it's because of his frequent blunders on-screen. Transformers: Prime: Megatron looks to be running for most threatening and psychotic Megatron to date. His sadistic tendencies, brutal methods of engagement, and overall creepy voice brings out his inner-monster to many. And Starscream, who's both effective and threatening, but also humorous as well. Soundwave. Threatening, intimidating, menacing, perpetually silent. He's essentially the show's version of the Slender Man. Yet he's one of the most popular Decepticons in the show and widely considered the most badass incarnation of the character to date. Airachnid is for all intents and purposes, a Cybertronian Serial Killer put on a kid's show. But her monstrous sadism and bitter rivalry with Arcee make her beloved by quite a few. Shockwave, whose cold, calculated maneuvering mixed with an incredible killing power as well as having a great, intimidating voice has made him one of the most popular Decepticons on the show.

Love to Hate / int_fcf0b6c3	comment	Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: The Queen of the Crown — you don't often see a villainess with that kind of leverage over The Hero. Nor are eighties cartoon foes that creative with Mind Rape.

Love to Hate / int_fd77861b	comment	In NEO: The World Ends with You, Tanzo Kubo is as hateable as the reapers can be. Easily the slimiest out of the cast of the reapers, his cocky demeanor while also having Xander Mobus' performance gained him a lot of fans. And that's before revealing himself as a Dragon-in-Chief and executing a very well thought out plan that almost has him win against the protagonists.

Love to Hate / int_fdbace96	comment	Gravity Falls has Bill Cipher, yellow Eye of Providence with limbs, wearing a top hat and bowtie. He has a weird sense of humor, charmingly manipulative, and hadn't actually been 'defeated' until the finale. It's so amusing to watch him that it's equally easy to forget that he's an Eldritch Abomination Knight of Cerebus plotting The End of the World as We Know It, and pure Nightmare Fuel material.

Love to Hate / int_fec91a1d	comment	The Rescuers Down Under: Percival C. McLeach is an Evil Poacher who tries to murder the Kid Hero by feeding him to crocodiles and enjoys killing animals despite knowing they're sapient. He's still quite loved by fans for being a genuinely funny Large Ham voiced by George C. Scott with some truly golden lines.
