Who is your favourite villain of non male origins?

 

[NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt]

Cassandra Nova (New X-Men, Grant Morrison)

 

[FunkMiller]

Is Cat Person a villain?

The Poisonous Ivy might have been a better pick.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Demi Moore in Disclosure.

I have a low IQ, don't judge.

 

[Zeroing]

Why can't I have multiple choices?
Also I think this character should be on the list.

LOL at Amber Alert ahaha

She was a great villain

A few come to mind -

 

[AJUMP23]

Larry David is pretty good villain.

 

[The_hunter]

Spoilers for kotor 2, easily

Spoiler

Darth Traya.

IDK about movies, will have to think about it.

If you have never read the DC Comics event '52', do it. In my opinion he's easily the best comic book villain ever written in that mini series.

A close second is Iago from Shakespeare's Othello. He wreaked havoc on numerous lives seemingly because of a very, very minor slight against him that no one else even noticed. Just a vile character.

I approve this post. Sharon stone at peak hotness.

Bingo. Absolutely ruthless and psychotic, but she was still portrayed as a woman with obvious feminine traits. Too often with female villains the character could be a man with negligible difference to the character.

The one that can actually act

 

[Sidney Prescott]

The perfect casting imo.

I understand the sentiment.
Its a fine line in film and story telling when there is a woman main villain or even a 'smaller/weaker' man commanding such power.
Unless there are superpowers involved, it is the responsibility of the creator to communicate to the audience how that relationship within that world works.
Why doesn't henchman (A) just snap the smaller, weaker ones neck? Put a bullet in their head when they arent looking?
We as humans are much weaker than the big cats, primates, venomous serpents etc. We use our intellect to manipulate the world around us. Woman by their design are tasked to do the same.

As with many things in modern Western cinema. Its laziness and lack of talent.
But every now and then we get gems like MaMa.

I hope there is a second Dredd in the works. Its universe is interesting enough. Even the Stallone one was good.

I disagree with black swan, the villain was her mother and how she put so much pressure on her daughter that she went crazy!

 

[hollams]

Only one answer, Cactus Jack in The Villain played by Kirk Douglas.

 

[Soodanim]

Dolores Umbridge from Harry Potter and Miss Trunchbull from Matilda
Every other answer is wrong Posts 33 and 36 are incredibly right

Cersei Lannister was great for those first 4 seasons or so until the wheels came off that series.

The same actress was also really good in Dredd. I’m sure she’s a nice lady but she just has a really cunty face. Born to play smug villainesses.

 

[GymWolf]

Bruce from jaws, the motherfucker scared a whole generation for life


It still looks horryfying even today

 

[Pejo]

Sad she never got a redemption arc, but in a way she's even better because of that.

 

[GymWolf]

Ah yes, darth invade-her...

 

[Tams]

Best Bond Girl in Die Another Day (and saved that film, well other than the opening hovercraft scene).

The one that can actually act

She's been in criminally few films.

Rosemoud Pike is a fantastic actress

She deserves to be in more movies.

Never liked CLAMP artstyle. Always found the long skinny legs and arms to be a massive turnoff for me
