so I REALLY thought SOMEONE else would say SOMETHING about THAT SCENE but nobody did so

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26bbBvpZk3w

There are a LOT of issues I have with this movie, but I think they climaxed here. This is the character we're supposed to empathize with. This is one of thousands of movies where the plot is about the girl but we're only really shown it from the male's perspective (there are quite a few of those on this list alone, even TNIS,WOG as much as I love it falls into this) because he's falling in love with her and we're supposed to put ourselves in his shoes. That's already a point against it because, goddamn, that's an old, boring, tired trope. But it only became so much worse because of how unlikable main boy was. To be honest I'm surprised some of the people in this group put it so high (though others I definitely expected to) because I thought for sure SOMEONE else would recognize how absolutely shitty this dude is. He treats her like shit, she puts up with it because it's in her character to be lighthearted and accept life as it goes.

It's been... checks notes... over 80 years since It Happened One Night and still some directors can't get over that story crutch of "treat a quirky girl like shit and she'll fall for you." I could try to get into WHY people pull that shit but that's a whole other discussion that's gonna go off the rails so fast.

And it's not JUST that he's awful. Both the main characters are just... really, really off. Like, there's something not quite human about them. They behave unrealistically, like their actions and their motivations just aren't in sync with each other. My examples are a little fuzzy given that I've blocked off this film from my mind for the last few months after being left with just such an unpleasant feeling in my stomach about it, and a lot of that is due to THIS scene.

This shit isn't okay. It's not something that can be shrugged off with a "he doesn't have good enough social skills to know how to approach this" or "she was coming on to him first," as much as the film seems to want you to take it that way. As soon as this happened, any shread of connection I could feel toward mainboy was gone.

The ending would've been fantastic and powerful in another movie. This wasn't it.

86. Intro
Source: I.M. Meen
Villain: I.M. Meen
Nominator: FL81 (1 left)
Favorite lyric: Very scary and confusing! / Destination of my choosing! / The magic labyrinth of I.M. Meen!

https://youtu.be/GN15aZVneSg

Villainy: 6
Characterization: 5
Melody: 3
Total: 14/30

so I typically just try to talk about the song itself and not any videos with them, since I'm only ranking these on the songs, but this video looks like someone took the movie Foodfight! and put it in a cheap 90s pc edutainment game. It's both enthralling and painful to watch. I.M. Meen as a villain is about as subtle as you'd expect given that name, and like most edutainment villains, he really hates education, so you can only defeat him by learning! These typically make for shallow characters with dumb motivations, and while he's kind of that, he also... straight up kidnaps these children with magic like David Bowie in Labyrinth. I mean, it's hard to take his villainy all that seriously given the vibe of the song, but kidnapping still has a pretty high minimum.

87. The Great Detective Knows
Source: Umineko (fan song)
Villain: Erika Furudo
Nominator: FL81 (2 left)
Favorite lyric: (which apparently translates to: "I am that person who is a girl and also am also known as that person")

https://youtu.be/IoRCmJ4NZ74

Villainy: 2
Characterization: 5
Melody: 6
Total: 13/30

So without reading up on tons and tons of lore, what I can gather from this song is that Erika Furudo is a detective, and a bit of a cocky one at that. This song seems to be her displaying her immediate understanding of the mystery at hand, what clues she picks up on, while also giving herself a pat on the back for doing so. It's another one of the fan songs that adds lyrics on top of the character's instrumental theme, and ultimately I think it works very well. The singer's voice holds a tone that almost sounds like she's plucking at the words, and it makes for a very pleasant song. It's not exactly evil, coming across just a little arrogant (likely toward the protagonist) but overall harmless (in the song at least, I can't speak for the game).

Sorry Scare, gotta drop another one of yours again already. Guess you should've bribed me a little more, huh? Anyway, did you guys realize One Winged Angel had lyrics beyond just "Sephiroth"? Probably! It's an easy thing to overlook, since they're repetitive and, you know, in Latin. They essentially translate to "Burning inside with violent anger," "Fate - monstrous and empty," Come, come, O come, do not let me die," and, of course, "Sephiroth!" While this doesn't tell you much about Sephiroth directly, it does key you in on key aspects of his character fairly effectively, and in only a few sentences worth of lyrics, you both fear Sephiroth just a bit and feel for him. While this type of tune isn't the type of music I go for on my own, nor is there any nostalgia there for me, I get the appeal.

Villainy: 2
Characterization: 6
Melody: 5
Total: 13/30

Much like Dr. Zaius, Scorpio (the song, not the villain) is really just a short parody that serves as little more than a post-episode joke, but it's a still a very fun parody. The whole thing sounds like a Bond villain theme, only instead of focusing on what makes Scorpio such a wicked mastermind, it instead focuses on Scorpio's incredible treatment of his employees. The song is actually kind of heroic. It still gets a TINY bit of villain credit simply because, yeah, he still wants to rule the world, but at the same time, that doesn't sound half bad. I would LOVE three weeks paid vacation each year, goddamn. It's kind of amazing how the song manages you to tell you as much as it does about Hank Scorpio in such a short time.

Villainy: 6
Characterization: 4
Melody: 3
Total: 13/30

Look, I get the whole thing this is going for is gross out humor, and that's just... not my thing. I feel like this NEEDS the context and the nostalgia to make it enjoyable, because out of context, it's mostly either eyeroll-worthy or downright unpleasant. Again, I KNOW that's the point, but that doesn't mean I want to hear it. Throw in the "GRAUGH" noises in between verses (which I assume were from the actual boss fight?) that only detract from an already-weak song, and Sloprano was looking to get a 1 score on melody. I will give it one thing though; The Poo can sing. The singer kinda nails that operatic style the song's going for, and hearing him belt out some of these lines salvaged the song a bit. So what does this tell us about the Poo? Well, not much more than his name. He's shit. He thrives off of disgust, he's agressive and angry, and... I guess he himself has a butthole? While his vague threat of "Do you really think you'll survive in here?" could be taken as murderous intent, what really makes him a despicable villain is his very nature, throwing his shit and threatening to... fuck it, I don't even want to finish this thought.

This song could've been the start of something great. For that to be the case, however, it'd have to be done by someone that's not Sum 41, because Sum 41 just isn't a good band. The song's nice for about 30 seconds, then those Whibley vocals come in and it's just... *groan*. It's like someone attempted to do a mediocre cover of an Iron Maiden song, and then gave up less than two minutes in. Lyrically, the song is about Satan, and kinda cheezes its way to getting high villainy points. I mean, the whole thing (what little is there) is about Satan loving to kill and torture people forever. The only thing keeping it from scoring higher villainy-wise is that there's nothing more to it. It doesn't really portray Satan as an actual looming figure, but more like a loose folk tale that essentially equates to "watch out for the boogeyman, he's gonna get ya!"

Meh, as much as I dislike Johnbobb's write-up I can't disagree with it since he admitted it was more likely a case of him personally failing to connect with a movie that should elicit a huge emotional response. However I don't understand how in the world could someone fail to connect with any of these wonderfully written characters with understandable if not relatable plights and motivations, yet find Makoto Kobayashi anything but deplorable.
I did find Makoto deplorable!

So is this just... the best moment in any straight-to-DVD Disney sequel? I mean that's not a super high bar, but it might be a fair statement (though there's definitely some good stuff in Kronk's New Groove imo). Now Jafar got a brief villain song in the original Aladdin with the Prince Ali (reprise) and I never thought it got enough love, regardless of how short it was. Here he finally gets his own real solo, and while Jonathan Freeman's singing voice isn't the BEST, I still can't help but bop along to this song, especially when he gets his moments to flex his vocab wordplay (this has to be the only Disney song to ever feature the words "pontificate" and "discombobulate"). You get a good enough grasp of who Jafar is from this as well (as if any of you didn't know already). He's cocky, he's clever, and he seems to have the means to back it up. Does that make him evil? Meh. He comes across more as rude here than anything.

I want to apologize to you for having eliminated 3 of your songs already, but in my defense, that's kind of what you get for directly trying to fight the suggestions laid out in the nomination topic. I get it. This is a solid boss theme, especially by Pokemon boss standards. The horns are heavy and intimidating, and you definitely get the feel, even without having played the game, that this is the moment you go up against the big bad. They are a huge threat to you, whoever you are, but why? Who the fuck knows. Again, boss themes do not necessarily = villain songs. This left me knowing very little about WHY we're battling Ghetsis, or even if he is truly the villain in this situation.

You know how fucking hard it was to figure out the English lyrics to this song? Well... not like crazy hard, but certainly inconvenient. I found an English voiceover for part of the song and had to use Google Translate for the rest of the lyrics (which didn't work particularly well, obviously) but for the most part, I think I've gotten the gist of the song, and man, it's kind of dark. It basically calls for the destruction of the world by some unseen force, and while it's never really clear as to why this band of anime girls wants the world to be destroyed (at least not that I could make out) there's no denying the pure malic behind the lyrics. In fact, this is easily the most evil song this far in the ranking I believe (though it's DEFINITELY not the evilest we'll see). Unlike NEXT STORM's "Resurrection," I didn't really get all that into Solitude of Judgment. It sounded more like what I'd expect an anime girl rock band to sound like, and not in a great way. It has its moments (I loved the sudden jump from acoustic ballad to metal about 30 seconds in) but it's not my thing overall.

I'm definitely not going to fault UF8 for nominating the original at all either, because the English version is definitely worse.

I can fully admit, in the context of the game, Dahlia's theme works extremely well. It's a great melody. Not victorious or sinister, primarily just very pensive and a little sad. It fits Dahlia's character effectively and can easily trigger your emotions when it plays in game. As a villain song, without the context of the game, however, it tells me extremely little about the character and definitely doesn't sound villainous. The only thing this gives to an objective outsider is maybe a hint of melancholy; without the context of the situation, it's simply a pleasant melody.

Heh, I recognize that Dedede pic. It was Sakurai's Tweet for his Smash 4 reveal.
yep

it was surprisingly tough to choose a Dedede pic. There are of course tons of pictures of him out there but many aren't the right quality or don't feature him in a proper way.

96. Special
Source: Avenue Q
Villain: Lucy the Slut
Nominator: Uglyface2 (2 left)
Favorite lyric: I can tell just by looking that you've got it hard / For me!

Villainy: 2
Characterization: 5
Melody: 4
Total: 11/30

Showtunes can sometimes be a little hit or miss for me, and I think Special is a good example of a song that I can definitely respect for the local prowess it requires (UF2 specifically suggested the Julie Atherton performance, and she does an excellent job embodying the character) even if it's not something I can see myself putting on my personal playlists. Lucy doesn't seem evil by any means, unless you consider prostitution to be evil #RespectSexWorkers. A tiny bit devious maybe, as she does use a little manipulation and specifically encourages a man to cheat on his girlfriend, but ultimately she seems like she's just trying to advertise her services. In doing so, you get a fair grasp on who Lucy is. Yeah, her main draw is that she's promiscious, but she's also clever and confident.

97. Secret of Survival
Source: Wind in the Willows
Villain: The Weasels
Nominator: paulg235 (3 left)
Favorite lyric: Ready to attack you, you're a snack you'd better run! / Don't come walking in The Wild Wood if you haven't got a gun.

Villainy: 4
Characterization: 4
Melody: 3
Total: 11/30

I'm suddenly realizing the weasels in that banner aren't actually the weasels portrayed in the nominated video. Whoops. I don't particularly like this song. It's mostly inoffensive, I'll give it that, but it's lyrically pretty dull and the voices of the weasels themselves can be kind of grating. It gives you a decent enough idea of what the weasels are though; creatures that inhabit the wild woods, but prioritize survival above all else. They're not particularly evil themselves, but they also don't give a shit about you or anyone else (although they're giving a warning about the dangers of the woods, so maybe they do care? Ah well, it's not really worth looking that far into).

The next project I know is 40 films (partially because it's a subgenre not done yet and ALSO becuase it's my first list ever) but I would understand if beyond that, people wanted to start dropping lists down to 30

Yuasa shows great inexperience as a director here, you can't just throw out random plot points to be weird and expect it to work in any way.
You can't take a bunch of random images and call it a story. You can't take the scribbles of a lobotomized monkey and call it art. You can't take LSD and call it creativity.

worst take of the contest so far imo. I feel like The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl is gonna end up dropping soon for the same reason.

This movie just completely blew me away in a way nothing else on the list really managed to come close to (except my #2). It's just an incredible, trippy, surreal thrill ride from start to finish. Even when it slows down, it never halts its celebration of the weird and wild.

I know some peope weren't as interested in the plot once it's inside the whale, but the sudden change of pace and genre flip only made me more invested in the movie. They suddenly become their own society, where the rules of the society are discarded, and they can be everything and anything they want to be.

On top of that, Yuasa never hesitates to break the rules of cinema, the laws of physics, or whatever he feels like, which only makes me love the film that much more. The film is whatever he wants it to be with no restrictions.

truthfully, i was originally going to pick another show by rock song instead except most of them don't have lyrics posted anywhere whereas this song somehow did
the lyrics are pretty fucking dark tbh. It's a well-written song
