@narfcake I think the great Republican snow job qualifies him as a genius – in a Dick Dastardly/Wyle E Coyote way. Either way, dude is certainly fictional. This can’t be fucking real.
@capguncowboy Last weekend I found out my girlfriend had never seen Dr. Horrible…I am proud to say I grabbed my dvd and headed right over to watch it with her. This is something everyone should see!
@Marcusx70 Darth Sidious to be even more precise. So fucking sorry not sorry. Sorry (maybe) to be all cunty, I’m hungover - and still a little drunk too. And I feel sick as a plane to Lourdes. Pukesville, Tennessee. Population: Me
Now I’m going to have to watch the movie… series … ? What is it called? Technically, it’s a series, but I think on the Blu-Ray it plays as one long film ? Oh well. Off to watch it!
@capguncowboy Youtube has the whole thing in a single video. My daughter and I watch it regularly. She memorized “Brand new day”, even the super fast parts. I’m delighted every time she recites it to me.
Haven’t let my kids watch it yet, but they love the soundtrack. (They’re 6 and 4.) They have Bad Horse and Freeze Ray memorized.
More than once, they’ve heard a neighbor say “love your hair” to someone who got a new cut. With perfect timing, they always interrupt with “I mean, I love the air.” Rarely get a look of acknowledgment from anyone.
@MehnofLaMehncha There are more than a few sexual references, a couple overt, and a death scene, so use some caution with younger kids. But it is so great.
Keep in mind this came out as an interent serial in 10 minute segments during the TV writers’ strike. It was an opportunity for Whedon to get out some original content, without much cost, that would have normally not seen light of day. I’m so glad he chose to do so.
@Pony I really do think the actor who played him is awesome. Looks and sounds menacing and cunning, just like Loki from the mythology should. Brits have it in them. Shame it’s a superhero movie series, so I am not gonna watch it anyway. My opinion is based on seeing several scenes during a flight.
@serpent We’re usually rooting for The Brain, too, aren’t we? Don’t people rout for Dr. Horrible (legit question: I’ve still only seen the first episode)? Sometimes the evil genius is the anti-hero of a story.
@parodymandotcom No, it’s the roadrunner who is the evil genius. Coyote is the perpetual (and literal) fall guy.
True story: I had a visitor who was fascinated by the clickety-clickety-click sound coming from the steel roof of my house. When I told him it was probably my resident roadrunner, he looked puzzled. “How did it get on the roof?” Looking surprised, I answered: “It’s a bird [unvoiced: you idiot!] - it flew there!” Response, from someone raised on Roadrunner cartoons: “I didn’t realize they could fly!” Me:
So in the cartoons, Roadrunner strolled along the ground deliberately baiting the coyote when he could have simply flown above the coyote’s reach. Roadrunners are evil like that.
@ACraigL Maybe he’s just making a list for future reference. (It’s hard to find the bodies when they have been ejected in space.) Or perhaps some of those self-driving car “accidents” - aren’t. He’s an evil-genius-in-waiting.
@Bingo Holy shit! Someone else knows this show??? I used to watch the hell out of this when I was a kid. I loved it so much I dare not go back and ruin my memory of it with the reality of how terrible it probably is.
@sanspoint Several years back, I contemplated getting the counterpart license plate of MOJOJJO. I decided against it as the last thing I’d want is a car that fails all the time.
Rick from Rick and Morty. He’s awesome because he’s by far the smartest person in the universe: able to stop time, jump dimensions, create pocket universes, and casually outsmart the devil himself; and evil: he enslaves that entire pocket universe just to power his space car, and destroys a second pocket universe, killing untold millions/billions/??? without hesitation or a moment’s regret.

Loki.

Of these - Hannibal hands down. Hopkins played him brilliantly, but I’d say the TV series are even better - Mads Mikkelsen is amazing.
@serpent
No one names their kid Hannibal anymore …

@reddinghill “The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.”
Bloody awesome. Adore this movie. But it’s not exactly a villain? More like an anti-hero, since you’re more likely rooting for him in the end.
@serpent We’re usually rooting for The Brain, too, aren’t we? Don’t people rout for Dr. Horrible (legit question: I’ve still only seen the first episode)? Sometimes the evil genius is the anti-hero of a story.
@serpent The poll asked for favorite “Fictional Evil Genius” not Villain. And I’d say the Verbal/Soze character fits the bill there.
@reddinghill good point, i was going to vote Dr Doofenshmertz (Phineas and Ferb) but clearly just evil adequate bad guy, not genius or true villian.
Dr Horrible, of course
I’m still saying we don’t know Elon Musk’s true colors yet.
