These were the best villains in comic movies, why is Joker and Magneto so easy to do well?

Also, Deacon Frost from Blade deserves some credits

the best villains are usually easy to not fuck up with. Not saying they can't fuck up good villains, tho.

these were good, too.

You'd think Doom would be a piece of cake

Indeed.

Unless you've already seen his performance , you know dick all about if he is good or not. So i imagine that you are just going by looks and nothing more. Which is funny considering both Ledger and Nicholson are in the OP.

Neither really looks like the classic Joker but both put in great performances as the character
>>
>>81385678
Nicholson is classic Joker except middle-aged and fat.

Aaron Eckhart's Two Face (or just Harvey Dent in general) was great in my opinion. The scene with Gordon's family in the destroyed building was excellent, especially the "it's not about what I want, it's about what's fair" line. His transformation to Two Face was something they could have stretched out to a second movie but they didn't, and I respect that.
>>
>>81385778
Yeah but that was due to his acting, njot his looks. Which is my point. He was middle aged , fat and had a permanent grin thanks to botched surgery so he couldn't even frown.

Also Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The COmedian anyone?
I know he's not a canonical "villian" but I've never hated someone so much in a movie in a while. I absolutely loved his perfomance.
>>
>>81389546
He was terrible anon.

>>81389637
Not a perfect adaptation, but he was a great character.

I know Incredible Hulk doesn't get a lot of love around here, but Blonsky remains my personal favorite live action villain for a few very simple reasons neatly summed in in this line:

"You've seen Banner? You've seen what he become? I want that. I need that."

He's not a psychopath with some twisted philosophy of social Darwinism or a nihilistic madman out to destroy humanity, he was a soldier, a fighter, and he succumbed to a very basic necessity of his character, he wanted to keep fighting. He says as much when talking to Ross.

Then he gets a little taste of power and he's immediately hooked, and then he needs more and more until he finally becomes what he always was on the inside, a monster. After that, he's exactly what the film needs him to be, the Hulk without a conscience, with nothing holding him back. He could very well be reflective of the dark side of any human being, and really, that's what any great super-villain should be.

He was the perfect asshole.

Some top-tier taste in this thread right here.

I feel like if Thor got sequels then Hulk definitely should have. At the VERY least everyone did a good to adequate job and I really wanted to see The Leader in the next movie.
>>
>>81390056
YES, Jeffrey himself ina interview says that some of the nights was really hard to put the head on the pillow and fall asleep for how fucked up his character was in Watchmen. I kinda love that.
>>
>>81390195
it's crazy because he's a fucking nobody in the comic. The movie made all the thugs memorable.
>>
>>81390232
That was due to studio politics.
>>
>>81390304
Michael Wincott is a top tier scene chewer. Most of the crap he says in Dead Man is improvised and it's great.
>>
>>81390304

Well the structure in the comic was way different. It's pretty much all from Draven's perspective and far more dreamlike and strange, there's basically almost no "narrative."

The comic is fantastic but basically impossible to adapt straight into a movie. It's a mood piece, not really a narrative-driven thriller. I think the movie is excellent despite being so different.

>>81390421

Even when he;s in dumb shit like Metro he's awesome.
>>
>>81390511
>TEN MILLION FUCKIN' DOLLAS!!
that guy is the best part of most of what he's in, I'd like to see him play Dr Doom.
>>
>>81390511
I agree, I really love both the movie and the comic for different reasons.
>>
>>81385445
Dooms issue is a writing one imo, nobody has had the balls to do DOOOOM!!
>>
>>81389963
Blonsky was great
>>
>>81381106
Magneto rises above being a petty crook or megalomaniac. He has real motivation for the things he does. This also attracts better actors.
>>
>>81385445
You make the mistake of thinking Doom is a good villain when his only real asset is MUH GRUDGE

Alright, so is this fair to assume based on what's been posted ITT?

Personally I was never huge on the Raimi trilogy but I know some think they are great, and I can see why in a way
>>
>>81399867
Put Violator from Spawn on there.
Leguizamo was best thing about that movie by a mile.

I still would love to see the audition that was so amazing they said "let's take this skinny Latino and make him our obese white clown"

You mean Clown.

I still don't see Red Skull on there.
>>
>>81400990
I actually don't remember
Did they list him in credits as Clown or Violator?
I should doublecheck
>>
>>81401299
>Did they list him in credits as Clown or Violator?

I would assume Clown, since Violator was just a CG monster that Leguizamo really didn't have any part in playing, you know? That'd be like saying Eric Bana played the Hulk. He didn't, he just played Bruce Banner.
>>
>>81401299
>>81401427

He calls himself Violator at one point, after Spawn fights him in that form for the first time.

>VIOLATOR ONE, SPAWN ZEROOOOO

Some shit like that.
>>
>>81400874
God dammit, John Leguizamo absolutely nailed that role. People talk about how well RDJ got Tony Stark, but this was inspired. If they redo Spawn, they need to at least approach him.
>>
>>81401490

I think there's also a line where he's imitating Schwarzenegger's accent and goes something like, "I AM ZE VI-OH-LAY-TAAAH!"

There is probably about as much chance of that happening as there is another Hulk movie
