Discussion

weird_dumpling_99: Chigurh in S is right. No arc, no speech, no motivation you can bargain with. Just a coin flip and that cattle gun.

goblinstan5882: Thanos in B is a little low. Infinity War is basically his movie and he wins.

BigOtter88: Voldemort is so much less scary than Umbridge. Imelda Staunton made my skin crawl way more than a noseless guy shooting green lights.

throwaway4225: Where's Hans Landa?

drunk_wizard: Ledger's Joker. Everyone says it, everyone's right.

picklekid: Walt is the protagonist though
