Just move Vader from 3rd to 1st keep Exorcist and Witch then replace 2,3,5,6,7,8,10 with Tarkin, Alien 79, Queen Alien, Terminator, Predator, Hans, Palpatine and then find a spot for Clubber Lang lol.

That AFI list is AFI alright, All ****ing Idiots lol
 
Thinking about it, that Vader scene is straight out of Battlefront when someone spawns as Vader and goes on a killing spree against noobs. :lol
 
"MUH villlain is better than your villain."

Guys, we're not in 3rd grade anymore. Besides, Hannibal, Vader and the Terminator aren't as cool or bad as they used to be. Nothing is. Times change. Half the characters and lists out there will be relics in the future. That AFI list is 20 years old and hardly relevant to current times. Wicked Witch of the West, Norman Bates and Nurse Ratched were more relevant three decades ago, sure. Now? Not so much. When we die, the love for these silly things die with us.

Lists are stupid and pointless, unless you're in a business or medical field.

Hey Jye, SW is overrated :wave

I do wonder if the prequels and Annie will affect Vader's placement when they update the list. He'll probably be behind the Harry Potter villains, Hans Landa, Bill the Butcher, and Magneto. Ledger's Joker will most likely be the new number one since he rules the 21th century :lol

Does it ever wake you in the middle of the night? The feeling that one day they will publish that "foolish" list or one just like it and come for you? And your Vader?What do you do, when you wake up to that, jye?

I can’t help it that my ANALytical scientific mind takes up space in both sides of my brain.

Yummm brains..... send more paramedics.

You're right, but it's fun to "debate" these silly things.

Speaking of lists, the AFI 50 heroes list is a bit more...relevant, but if updated, it would look drastically different.

I forgot about that scene where Lecter eats Henry Hill's brain or throws Gary Oldman into that pen of man eating pigs or gives that little kid on the plane some brains to try.


Maybe he is the best villain of all time.

He also made Gary Oldman disfigured by drugging him, making him cut his own face, then making him eat his own face, and finally feeding the rest to a dog.

His violent acts are fine, but Hannibal's greatest and most evil thing is how he psychologically destroys people in Silence of the Lambs. He instantly sees people's flaws and all their weaknesses, and then he plays with them like they're children.

Ledger's Joker is basically Hannibal light...
