April 2021 Best Movie Villains Challenge-Round 1

Happy April Fools Day everyone. I wish I had a good joke to play on you, but I want to get serious about this next challenge. With last month's Pixar challenge, we got to focus on a bunch of feel good movies that are pretty much adored by everyone. It was a hard challenge simply because all of Pixar's movies are so good. Even the bad ones are really good!

So this month, we're going a little darker and focusing on finding the Best Movie Villain of all time. I am using a different list this time for seeding purposes. The list in question was compiled by Insider.com in October of 2020 and includes their 50 best movie villains. (Check out the full list) Looking at the list, I have a few complaints, but it was one of the better lists I came across and includes a good cross section of baddies from movies as recent as the Avengers films and Get Out to films from the 1940s and 50s (Double Indemnity and The Night of the Hunter).

I also had to make a few changes to this month's format because of the bigger number of entries. The bracket site I was using only allowed for 32 entries without paying for a subscription while SurveyMonkey only allowed 10 questions per survey before hitting a pay wall. Fortunately there are free options for both of these. The survey is now embedded in this post below through Google Forms while the bracket itself is visible on Challonge.com. If you have any trouble with the form below, you can open it in a separate tab here.

Thank you for participating and may the best (worst?) villain win.
