Shepard Lambert in Would You Rather?, played by Jeffrey Combs.

Sadavir Errinwright from The Expanse

Loved that its not just evil for no reason

He actually has a goal I can sympathize with

I feel like in the TV Portrayal at least, its like I can feel like he actually does kinda care about Earth…

in his own fucked up way, but still…

Blaine from iZombie. He’s 100% bastard, and the show tries to humanise him by showing us origins and “how could he be any different” and so on, but he’s always great on screen.

Naraku, hes basically a troll that is also malevolent, oddly although he despises humans most of his goals dont harm them directly through out the series until the very end when hes get desperate, as he never targets humans directly unlike most other demons, or his own incarnation which he ends up killing to prevent them from interfering. or if you want to dig a little deeper, the shikon jewel is an amoral villian, sacrifices any user who made wishes to keep itself alive. hes a complex characther, he has much more contempt for demons than humans, eventhough he hates humans, but has not alright vindictiveness like he has against inuyash and his gang going on unless they gets in his way.

if for no other reason than to have a bit of a different answer:

Raboniel from Rhythm of War by Brandon Sanderson

Her interaction with Navani made for some VERY good chapters

Kilgrave in Jessica Jones

There’s something genuinely compelling about SHODAN.

They’re malignant, objective evil, yet when they talk about their goals and ambitions, they seem almost benevolent, which makes them even more unsettling.

It’s like something telling you to calm down while it’s sawing off your legs to replace them with mechanical versions because it’s “improving you”.

You didn’t ask to be improved.

“What a fool you are. I’m a god. How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence. How could you be so naive? There is no escape. No Recall or Intervention can work in this place. Come. Lay down your weapons. It is not too late for my mercy.” - Dagoth Ur in Morrowind

I don’t have one favorite villain in particular, but…

oh, and also Megamind. Megamind is my favorite. I need to rewatch that movie, and completely ignore the “sequel”.

Hmm, a rather difficult question, I have quite a lot of them and I could not get attached to any of them, well, maybe him:

and him:

Jean-Baptiste Emmanuel Zorg. He’s a monster.

One of my favorites as an adult, and one that scared the living shit outta me as a kid. Jude Doom from who framed Roger Rabbit.

Silco from Arcane.

I often struggle with media villains, finding them unrealistic or unconvincing, but Silco is just so well-rounded and well-written, he elevates the quality of every other character he interacts with. In a series full of near- and actually-superpowered people, this weak, middle-aged man is the most terrifying and influential of them all.

Your favourite media villain

Easy answer: Rupert Murdoch
