I'm fighting for my life over here brother (39:01)
I was wondering why i havent watched this video only to realise it was uploaded 10min ago
Same! I didn’t realize it was posted only 30 minutes ago until I saw your comment
Same here
same for me but its been 2 hours lol
Lol I do this a lot too with his vids I’m like I know I would have seen that but wait it was just uploaded nvm 😂
Same 😂😂😂 i love supercuts got videos
The biggest villians are Dave and Dan. A truly legendary villian's arc taking 8 seasons to evolve😂
With the perfectly karmic comeuppance at the end of it all.
don't forget the hidden main villain, Geroge RR Martin who didn't finish the story on time and until this day
@@petterblack1351”hidden”
yep😆
i still haven't watched the last episode of S8. watched uncollected rubbish on the roadside for, how many episodes before it, already.
Tywin is so great because he is actually cunning. His one character flaw of hating his only child who actually inherited his impressive intellect is what gets him killed. What poetry
That "cersei got mad at him hacking so he turned off his aimbot" line, was delivered perfectly.
Tywin fookin Lannister
Tywin the God damm highwind
Tywin hands down. A menace in every bit of screen time he had and the most important of all - died before D&D could butcher him
Yeah every character eventually got ruined lol thank god Tywin and Joffrey were spared and Ned
And Robb and Caitlyn
"Every nanosecond this character is on screen is a feast for the audience." couldn't express my feelings any better.
Charles Dance is possibly the best casting of a character possible
He single-handedly made show Tywin better than book one.
David and Dan are the real villains
I'm ashamed of myself for not including them on this list
@@SupercutsDelightNah...we kinda take it for granted already that they are the the main villains of the show lol😉
@@SupercutsDelightyeah man i can't believeeeee you missed that opportunity lol
Can we please have one game of thrones video without the same ass comments. Yeah we get it the ending sucks but shut the fuck up about already
@@SupercutsDelight I guess you just...kind of, forgot about David And Dan.
Game of Thrones is so long gone now...WHY do I keep clicking on those videos, damn it
Cause *pop* quality content you know, either to shit on (seasons 5-8) or praise (1-4)
That’s my way of revisiting the series without actually watching it, it was a top series for me once
Because regardless of the ending, it was still a very impactful show for millions of people :)
Joffrey is my fav. i know everyone hates him but he made the show interesting every time he was on screen
He’s supposed to be hated, and he did a great job being hateable
You love to hate him.
A well written and perfectly acted villain!
Exactly. Even Tywin had good sides to him, there are many viewers who liked him. But literally everyone hates Joffrey. That makes him the best villian in the story. Same for the actor...he was literally threatened because peoplegot triggered by his face alone. No one else managed that.
He's also kinda funny like hes so stupid yet powerful. And he's always getting humbled.
Iwan Rheon said that he took inspiration from the character Alex DeLarge (Malcolm McDowell) in A Clockwork Orange
to play Ramsey Bolton.
Makes sense lol
Well, well, well, well, well, well, well
My fear of Ramsey started in the books I was worried I was going to be let down
I was not
@@rosemaryjones5550 I was definitely let down. He just seemed like a perverted little demented hobbit in the show. Not a hulking, menacing, truly deranged sociopathic manipulator that also happened to enjoy torture as a part time hobby. His book version was much more terrifying. Iwan Rheon (and the actor that played Roose Bolton as well) was just not visually a good fit for Roose and Ramsay. Although Iwan did a good job with the content he was given. He seemed like a beefed up version of Karl Tanner more than Ramsay Snow.
@@AdoreYouInAshXI I know but considering everyone was considerably muted I wasn’t disappointed
Ramsey could have ended up a torture version of the mountain based on what I worried would happen
Cersei Lannister is the greatest female villain in the history of cinema and I will stand by that until the day I die. She was just incredible.
shame she died by bricks
by a mile
No, Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
@@kristofferjonshult7795THIS
Wish she got to do something after her incredible arc in season 6, that season finale is still one of the best episodes of television I’ve ever seen.
17:19 in the books if I remember correctly it is not ambiguous at all. She specifically said that if Drogo tears off the bandage she used to treat him he will die. Which he of course does like 2 paragraphs later.
They also put a bunch of mud in the wound as treatment 😂. Homeboy died of completely avoidable sepsis.
One character that you missed, who i really enjoy is Rickard Karstark. He greatly pushes the King in the North plotline. he is quite understandable in his actions, but they are also appalling. His constant questioning of Robb creates great tension in the warcamp, and his eventual betrayal and execution really progress Robb as a character and as a leader.
Not to mention the fact he progresses both the Catlyn Stark AND Jaime Lannister plots extensively.
100% agree with you on Euron. On top of that, I think all you have to do to fix him is call him Osmund Kettleblack.
i listen to the assassin's creed 2 and brotherhood soundtracks all the time and instantly recognized that. These song are coming back.
Wow, didn't clock until you said
I thought I could hear that in the background 😩
Pretty nostalgic tracks.
The whole video is fantastic but the emphasis on "SINGLEHANDEDLY" when discussing Locke sent me through the roof xD.
I didn't know I needed this video until it was out
Great video and it absolutely wasn’t too long! Always a pleasure to hear you explain your thoughts
This channel is my crackcokaine
You should try the real thing! Next thing you know, you’re a liberal getting free stuff
The High Sparrow starts strong as a villain but gets dumber as his story progresses. He manipulates Cersi into arming the Faith Militant as a weapon against the Tyrel’s then betrays her and imprisons. Pretty solid villain work there. But then he stupidly lets Cersi go back to her power base at the Red Keep, assuming the humiliation of the Walk of Shame would break her. And even more stupidly he assumes Cersi will show up for a trial where she’s guaranteed to be found guilty and either be executed or imprisoned for life. And he gathers all of Cersi’s enemies together in one place for her to target. He died a moron.
Your channel is so good, i cant stop watching 😅
Excellent video as always.
LETS GOO NEW SUPERCUTS VIDEO
Glad to hear you talk about characters like Locke, Karl Tanner and Myranda, I always liked them and I thought they were underrated villains
This list was Awesome, thanks!
I LOVE your content! Always have always will
Ooo this looks like fun, I'm totally here for it.
Loved your list!!!!! Tyvm!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The Tully family are the biggest villains of the show. Liza killed John Aaron, which started this whole mess. Cat kidnapped Tyrion which caused Jamie to delay Ned’s leaving of Kings Landing. Edmure went for that fort instead of doing what Rob told him which made Rob have to beg Frey for passage across the bridge.
Uhm. That was not Edmures Fault. His mistake was long After Robb had a deal Made with Frey in that he fought for some mills to save some common folk and ruined Robbs plan by that to trap and kill the Mountain. The Frey Deal was Cats fault
I dont see much wrong with this statement
The work you do does not go unappreciated.
allister's picture made me chuckle, thank you sir. good video
The ac 2 music at the background gives me joy
That soundtrack is so insanely good!
I’m now looking forward to a heroes ranking!
Excellent ranking And near perfect critiques!!!
Really great list!
You know Tywin is the BOSS when you see how he plays around with incredible characters like Cersei and Tyrion.
I loved everything about this. ❤
I LOVE that the assassin's creed 2 tracks are playing in the background!
Loving the AC music in the background
Big thumbs up for using music from AC2
Glad to see The Legend of Gin Alley so high up on the list.
Quburn's army of the dead as a reason for Dany destroying the city is such a good idea.
Great video and in my opinion I prefer your long videos it is honestly really exciting when you post a longer one but I love your vids regardless thank you for your hard work
Assassins creed 2 music in this video
*CHEFS KISS*
Great video
You know, i JUST commented on an old video of yours yesterday about how Dave and Dan shit the bed SO hard in the end that people don't even TALK about Game of Thrones anymore... Now, today, you post a cool video 🤦
Your comment was more accurate before HOTD came out. Absolutely none one was talking about GOT anymore because of how bad the show ended. And thats what made HOTD so impressive because it brought back an apathetic fan base and was actually good
Love the Assassin's Creed 2 music in the background.
Great video. Aren't Melisandre and Stannis Baratheon considered villains?
Great video! I think you could have put in a few others that were villains for a time, because their screen time and impact as villains is more than some of the minor villains you included in the video:
Melisandre - Her arc after season 5 was a little too quick imo, but I remember in seasons 2-5 she being the villain I hated the most. I mean, she did give birth to a literal murderous demon.
Jamie - His first seasons he was the perfect evil Prince Charming.
Theon - His villain arc was not as respectable but his impact was there and he had a good amount of screen time.
I would put Styr (25) a bit higher (15-20). You gave him a lot of deserved praise. I’d switch him with Randyll Tarly (19).
Also Meryn Trant (29) definitely deserves to be higher. He was a minor antagonist but was on Arya’s list for a reason. His scenes in the brothel were so gross and evil. I’d put him around 15.
Loved all your explanations!
Love the little edits like at 37:52 😁
Love the video I'm a cersei stan so i probably wouldve put her 1st or at least over ramsay but otherwise agreed with everything maybe would have added jaime and theon idk if i missed them or even s1 the hound
Otherwise very engaging well thought out analysis during this long winter ;)
Keep it up 👍
The apple didn’t fall far from the tree with Tywin and Cersei Lannister. Poisonous throughout the series.
Fantastic list.
Your suggestion about Qyburn making an undead army was something I thought of. Specially he was so curious with the zombies during that awkward meeting in the dragon pits.
You put Mance on the list but not Melisandre?
I love how you use the AC 2 Soundtracks haha
This guys inflection on the end of words making it tough to get through this.
Great list. Couldn’t agree more. Not too long.
You did a really outstanding work recopilating all this great characters, but... *please where is Olena Tyrell?*
Olena is a true hero for being the one to take Joffrey out
babe wake up supercuts delight posted
Awesome 😂😂❤❤
Agreed that Ser Alliser is one of the most complex villains on the show. He gets a great arc with a lot of nuance to his character. You actually understand why he takes the decisions he does.
Pls do a list of top 20 (or something) badass/brutal/epic death scenes.
6:40 also note that Dany just says "i'm Drogo's widow" and he just believes her. He doesn't even consider the idea she may be lying :)
it was pretty well known that he married a dragon queen i think or at least a foreigner
I would argue that the audience was supposed to see quite a few of Dani's actions as wrong and villainous (like murdering all the Khals etc) just to foreshadow her Targaryen insanity and becoming a villain later.
I was waiting for your review about Shōgun but that’s okay.
I'm actually working on that right now. This video was such a big chongus that it overlapped into my period of time for Shogun.
@@SupercutsDelight oh that’s good. Cuz I really like your opinion about the new series. And ranking every villain in got is actually a good idea for a video. I will see it and make sure to but my opinion about it❤️
I feel like Bran could've easily taken the cake on this. By all accounts, my man knew exactly how things would play out and that he would become king and he let it all happen. His "Why do you think I came all this way?" line followed by that sinister ass smirk, if that doesn't stink of villainy, then I don't know what does lmao
Same, he is literally the biggest villain in this whole show, I despise him.
You don't need to justify why Euron is in the bottom. We all agree with you
I blame D'n'D. Pilou is a great actor. And that's definitely not bias. Even though I'm Danish
Great video! I don't really have any complaints about positioning for any of the villains. Same Dave and Dan completely tanked what should have been a masterpiece 😢
Ramsay is my favorite villain and I'm glad he's so high on the list. Personally, I would rank the Night King lower. For 11th place, but a very nice list. I really like Your Game of Thrones videos.
I wish Everyone a good day.
Lmao I just lost it when you edited the explosion into Pycell‘s fart scene
If Tywin isn't number 1 ima riot like a kings landing peasant.
I can't believe Stannis or Melisandre couldn't even make it to top 40...
Stannis should totally be on there. Melisandre is excused as she helped the good guys in the final battle against the dead
@@BenRangelif you still think there are 'good guys', you missed the point
@@gelatinouscube2342 I get it, but this list was about Villains so I’m leaning into it
Stannis isn't really a villain
Stannis was a anti hero until d and d made him burn his daughter
This thumbnail goes hard though!
Euron from the books would go pretty high up though!
Your take on Qyburn and his own army of the dead is fantastic.
Lysa is an even worse villain considering she was the one who sent that letter to Catelyn in episode 1, warning her against the Lannisters, after poisoning Jon Arryn herself
Cersei and Tywin are my two favorites, I would say that those two actors gave the best performance out of any character in the show by far
Hard agree, they are the best actors and best characters.
You're so right about the Khal morro stuff, it would be more compelling to make dany kind of off in her decision to burn the khals (Like you're kind of on board cus they were awful to her, but also the contrast of Khal Morro treating her with respect and letting her join the dosh khaleen). Even when dany smiles (6:50) it gives viserys vibes lol like she's having a bit of a Targaryen moment, would've set up her 'madness' arc a bit more too
I started watched this, went half way then decided to watch the clip where Jon Executed Janos (cause I saw Stanis in the background while watching Janos’ part in this clip. Fast forward it’s 6 hours and I’ve almost finished watching the whole of season 1😂😂😂😂 what a great show it was back then!!!! You always see things you missed doesn’t matter how many times you watch it
that is actually a great video and i mostly agree. but I think that you should have ranked Jimmy. I know he turns into a protagonist later on, but I still think he was one if not the best villain in the first season. overall, good ranking.
Roose Bolton was one of my favorite villains, shame he was poisoned by his enemies 😔
The amount of times you used delicious was delicious 😂😂great list
Ramsay is my favorite. Unlike Joffrey he was willing to get his hands dirty, he wasn't a spoiled kid but a bastard who would do anything to earn his place. His motivation always fascinated me and obviously his sadism. Also I think his death was perfect, died violently as he lived. I loved his relationship with Myranda for the same reasons you mentioned, and the fact that in the end he decides to feed her to his dogs seems insensitive but I think it was a significant act for him and they let us see a little bit of his "human" side.
Every scene he was in was fun and entertaining, which I also thought with Viserys, except that Ramsey wasn't a ridiculous looking villain but rather charismatic and intriguing. Great video and I like that you included Tanner and Styr. Those actors nailed it too.
Tywin is and was the greatest character. Charles Dance killed it. First scene he skins a deer while telling Jamie to achieve glory.
Euron could have been an absolute wildcard of a villain who could significantly switch dynamics from scene to scene
Book Euron:
- Literally a Lovecraftian Warlock Pirate seeking godhood.
- Has sailed to Asshai, Stygai, and beyond learning the deepest secrets of forbidden dark magic.
- Captain of a ship full of men who’s tongue’s he’s cut out with corpses lashed to the bow.
- A powerful warg who skin changes into/controls other people.
- Murdered/sexually abused his brothers and pissed in the sea to defy the drowned god.
- Has a sick eyepatch which conceals an otherworldly blood-red eye that symbolizes his power and all the terrible things he’s seen/done.
- Habitually uses and abuses powerful hallucinogens because “there is more truth in them”.
- Was looked over by the three-eyed raven because he was too sadistic and evil.
- Determined to usher in a blood red ocean, kraken fuelled apocalypse.
Overall, arguably the most terrifying character in a series absolutely full of evil, degenerate, psychopathic monsters.
Show Euron:
- Cartoon Pirate Fratboy
Didn't Book Euron go to Valyria and came back with actual loot? That alone would make him pretty much a one-of-a-kind.
The worst goes to Bran the Broken. He wasn't even in season 5 LMAO. Even Ghost has a better story..
Now I go watch Game of thrones season 7 and 8. Wish me luck :)
I can't wait to see who sits on the Throne. No way D and D can mess this up! Jon or Dany (fingers crossed) :D
Assassin's creed music?
what about Melisandre, Stannis, Jaime ???? im not sure how chars such as Viserys or sand snakes are on here but not lady melisandre or stannis..
Have you seen Shogun yet? If you haven't please watch it (absolute banger). If you have could you do a "Yabushige groaning for x min straight" or "Blackthorne asking for his ship and crew for x min straight" video?
Of the primary traits that make a great villain(power hungry, unpredictability, compelling back story, cruel, sympathetic), the one that truly creates a riveting story is being a sympathetic character that is not really evil, but hovers in the gray area between hero and villain. It is only when we can see ourselves in them that we become vested in their character arc.
Huge W for AC2 soundtrack in the background
Cersei>=Ramsay>Littlefinger>=Joffrey>NightKing>others
Agree with most of your list although I wouldn't have included Mance as he never came across at all as a villain to me. Just so happened his goals were not aligned with John's. My top 10 would have been the same 5 in that order at the top and then 6. Walder Frey 7. Viserys 8. Karl Tanner 9. Thorne 10. Roose Bolton. The Night King just didn't have the same impact for me and i would have him quite a bit further down. Great video, can't believe I'm not subscribed, time to change this.
Seeing this just reminds me how many villains and characters was in this show.
One of the reasons I love a song of ice and fire so much is because it’s not so black and white where you are either a villain or a hero. However we have witnessed our heroes become villains , vice versa. When it came down it , a lot of villains were just protecting their own family .
I honestly didn’t consider the sand snakes villains . I thought them as just avenging Oberon , and the Martell family
Nice😊
Did I space out while you were talking about Melissandre?
35: Smalljon Umber deserved the absolute bottom spot because in the novels, he died like a badass trying to save Robb during the Red Wedding
31: Olly is a cheap stand-in for Satin from the books, who was cut because an underage boy sex worker is too much even for HBO
22: In the novels it's pretty clear that Drogo ripping the bandage off is what led to his death
20: Locke is a cheap stand-in for Vargo Hoat from the novels. He's such a different character that GRRM made them change his name (back when he cared about such things)
12: I'm still partial to the theory that the High Sparrow is Howland Reed
11: If you know what to look for, Roose was hedging his bets against Robb from the very start
7: The biggest irony is that Alliser was sent to the Wall because he was a Targaryen loyalist on the losing end of Robert's Rebellion, and died not knowing Jon was Rhaegar's son
