First of all, thanks to everyone who nominated characters for this tournament!

I've been putting the bracket together all morning, and I've got to say, this tournament is STACKED. Please try not to complain about the seeding, there were 64 absolute bastards nominated for this thing and every single one of them is worthy, but some of them had to have low seeds. I did the best I could to give everyone an accurate seeding, but I'm sure I missed a few here and there.

Here's the bracket!

https://www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=477621

The tournament itself will start tomorrow, but in the meantime, feel free to make your predictions and even submit write-ups ahead of time. I'll do the write-ups for anyone I need to, but if you really want to do someone's write-up, feel free and I'll credit you. Try to keep it down to a single paragraph, as I want to make it fair for everyone by giving about an equal length writeup for everyone.

Wow Davros and AM in the same division that feels like it would normally be a final. Though I will also push hard for Griffith and Cioccolata. Looking forward to this.

I would've nominated Gustavo Fring and Walter White if I had come back after my single nomination, but of course I forgot to do so. Solid choices nonetheless B8!

Nino Brown from New Jack City (Used a child as a Human Shield, FFS)
Lisa from The Room (Cold Hearted Bitch through and through)
Ludmilla from Rocky IV/Creed II (Materialistic Cow who abandoned her son, TWICE)
Sosa from Scarface (Tony drew the line at kids and pensioners at least)

I'm surprised no one from the Better Call Saul/Breaking Bad-verse got in! I nominated Lalo but no one else saw fit to do so, and I definitely would've seconded Gus and Walt. Still, Gus and Walt both got bodied by Azula back in 2012 and she ended up getting crushed in the third round, so I'm not sure how much farther either of them could've gotten this time around.

Gus I can see as a good option, and Todd would've been too

For many BB/BCS characters though, I feel like they're specifically presented as criminal but morally grey, especially Walter White.

That's ultimately why I didn't vote for Lalo, he has one very evil act but one that he saw as necessary (even if the viewers wouldn't), and he's driven more by loyalty to his family than an actual desire to do evil, which I think distinguishes him from most of this list

Yeah, as much as we the viewers see Gus as a villain, in terms of his actions:

He tries to expand a drug business while maintaining the trust of the cartel. This gets his best friend shot and killed.
He seeks revenge against the people who did this to him, which is not unreasonable.
He seeks to further his drug empire, which isn't evil in and of itself.
And he kills, or orders executions freely, but only from a pure practicality standpoint. Gus strikes me as a very business-oriented individual, and as long as you don't fuck around and you just do your job, he can be perfectly content with being nice and kind to you.
Touch fuzzy. Get fuzzier.

Honestly, the likes of Bill and AM aren't as "pure evil" as one would think when you look deeper depending on what you define as evil. Bill canonically regrets destroying his home dimension and AM implies part of the reason why he is so pissed is because some part of him wants to do and enjoy the positives humans can do but cant "because of them".

Except it's not really clear that Bateman actually did any of the things he says he did.

At least I assume we're talking about the movie version. I don't remember it very well, but I did also read the book, and I didn't walk away from that with any "unreliable narrator lol this never happened" vibes.

I'd consider it to include both, and Bateman in the book is considerably worse than the one in the movie

even if he doesn't do everything he says he does, he's still very deeply emotionally evil

I read the book version of Bateman as being even more of an unreliable narrator. I thought it was implied throughout that there's a big difference between his self-image and how others see him, whereas in the movie it's just Christian Bale so we aren't led to question his fundamental sense of being as much. Like, Book Patrick *thinks* he's Christian Bale but he's actually Jesse Plemons

that said, the book version is even more heinous and disturbed whether in reality or in his head

One of the most interesting things about Umbridge is that she produces a Patronus when she's sentencing innocent people to Azkaban, to essentially wizard hell. Patronuses can only be produced from happy thoughts.

I voted Carnage, but Umbridge is no slouch. A different kind of evil. I'm not sure who I'd take between her and Voldemort.

I've never played Hatred, but how bad of a character can "The Antagonist" be? Is it the "I will kill all humans" uniform genocide of it all, or is there more to it? Like, just how sadistic is Hatred, and how worried should I be if someone tells me that's their favorite game?

Hatred is a very bad game where the whole purpose is just to get attention by being edgy, which it managed to do. You just kill a bunch of people while the main guy rants about hating everybody. In the credits it says something like Special Thanks to NO-ONE! Except for our fans and Lord Gaben. Also some key developers had links to the Polish far-right which sets the tone. Its just edgelord trash with some very dodgy links.
