Does the list include subby for referencing a "chracater"?

Consider me infuriated that they included said chracater. Once I find out what a chracater is, anyway.

You do not speak ill of Doctor Horrible or Bad Horse will come for you.

GIS for "chracater"



/i don't get it either.

:-/

Uh-oh.

what an awful Top 10 list. For starters, it contains 11 entries, not 10 (despite subby linking directly to #2). Then, doesn't anybody remember that Top 10 lists are supposed to count DOWN, not UP? Were you people born in BARNS? Finally, the list is all over the place - you have one honest-to-dog evil genius, e.g. Doctor Doom, at least one evil genius wannabee, referring of course to Dr. Horrible, and then a bunch of badly drawn cartoons that nobody who has made it past 6th grade drama would dignify with the label "chracater".

Rarely is the Is subby blowing a modmin or something?

aargh, premature submission. That last line should read:

Rarely is question asked: is subby blowing a modmin or something?

Your Faith is Creepy: what an awful Top 10 list. For starters, it contains 11 entries, not 10 (despite subby linking directly to #2).

For some reason, the io9 top ten lists start with a placeholder image of the last one listed and an introductory paragraph. The second page starts the countup/down.

Rolls into town w/his "Circus of Crime" and gets defeated every. single. issue. Even Howard the Duck defeated him.

How is Cartman on this list? He nearly took over the US to win a bet and made Scott Tenorman eat his parents.

Finally, a thread where I can gripe about Con*Air. (Yeah, I know it was 12 years ago.) Malkovich's character is supposedly a genius, but he keeps saying the stupidest things.

"And if you say a word about this over the radio, the next wings you see will belong to the flies buzzing over your rotting corpse."

Apparently evil super-geniuses don't get that when your body stops working, it takes vision right along with it.

He took 40 cakes. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.

a) You might note that I said 11 "entries", not 11 "villains". Look at the page, there they are, numbered 1 to 11. I didn't read deeply enough to form a theory about why the author included Victor Von Doom twice - maybe he likes DOOM? The point is, a Top 10 List shouldn't have 11 entries, no matter how the stupid website does it. It's just gauche (and bad programming).

b) I must acknowledge that you are correct on this point. I humbly submit to your superior knowledge until such time as I become educated in this regard.

And good day to you too.

It's off topic, but the cartoon question that always bugged me the most was this: how did the Scooby Doo gang finance their adventures? As far as I can tell, they just drive around solving mysteries, and do so for years at a time. And it's not like they're (usually) brought in to solve the mystery, they just sort of stumble upon it. I guess it's possible the people they help throw them a bone. You'd have to be a pretty big dick not to reward the kids that saved your ice cream factory from your evil half-brother.

Also, how did they get that van to Hawaii? Or Scotland? I distinctly remember them driving the Mystery Machine through the Scottish moors.

Anyway, every Scooby Doo villain should qualify for this list. They're all apparently special effects geniuses, employing everything from animatronic suits to friggin' holographic projectors that'd make Mysterio (him too, on the list) jealous, but they're defeated by a stoner, a closeted gay, and two chicks with a serious learning disability and asperger's syndrome, respectively.

Also, the dog can't actually talk; they're all on drugs, all the time.

Are you kidding me? This is the third time I've seen you fark up a headline in recent memory. You should take a hiatus from being a submitter The English Major. Or at least stop fessing up to it.

Subby can't count, can't link, can't spell/type. I think we're all safe from Subby's own evil genius plans.

You kinda sound like a super villain there.

I nominate Darth Vader, for blatant failure to use available powers and resources. Waiting for a moon to clear the planet to shoot at it? Shoot the damn planet! The planet was going to be utterly devastated when the moon blows up anyhow.

/What the hell is an aluminum falcon?!?!

rhcmom, THESE are not the hammer...

I'm fairly sure Captain Hammer was the villain of that story.

Dr Doom rules a country, and it's people are fanatically devoted to him after his policies turned it from a third world to a first world country (supposedly as a result of his genius).

That Death Star thing wasn't his failure, it was Tarkin's failure. As for Vader, he was just Palpatine's lackey. The real genius was Palpatine. He went from a nobody senator from a no where planet to Emperor of the Galactic Empire, defeated the Jedi, rigged a civil war in such a way so that no matter which side won, he would be on the winning side, no one actually figured out it was him, he had to come right out and say that he was the Sith Lord that the Jedi couldn't find before kicking their asses.

Then there's the genius of pulling all that off, ruling the Empire with an iron fist and staying in power for more than 20 years. I'm sure there was more than one assassination attempt...

No kidding. I even asked that after the second movie and my friend and I were talking about how Lucas was going to handle the Palpatine thing. My buddy figured he was going to be a clone (and a sockpuppet) so as not to cause any disturbances in the Force.

By that time, I was numb and couldn't handle the suck anymore and that was after the first one where of two Jedi on Tattooine (one a master), neither one could figure out that the Amidala that followed them onto the planet was the real one, not one of her clones as promised.

He's also not a villain - so this is ARTICLE FAIL:

"Wanting to rule the world isn't evil, and neither is Doom - he's not a bad guy; he's a man who traded everything he had for power but not his soul, and all to help his people".

Here's your replacement evil genius:

Vader wasn't in charge of the Death Star and Yavin was a gaseous planet, it wouldn't have exploded.

and we totally identify with him, since the alternative would be identifying with Moist

I haven't seen the film but that line is somewhat hilarious since NPH obviously avoids anything moist.

The article confuses super-villain with evil genius.

The Monarch is not a genius. The bulk of his technology was stollen from Sargeant Hatred, bought with his fat inheritance, or designed for him by Dr. Girlfriend (now Dr. Mrs. Monarch). He doesn't even understand the biology of his namesake.

Baron Werner Ünderbheit would be a better example of a stupid genius since at least he has... ZEE SCIENCE BOX!

Daphne's parents are rich, and she's a little spoiled, you think her parents would rather finance mystery solving, or pay for her to become the cartoon Paris Hilton?

I have two boys, I have an excuse for watching the newest Scooby Doo movie >.> One of the major points it that the Mystery Machine was given to Daphne by her parents who are uber rich.
