Hey I would really love this set but I missed out on the 4k steels.  Would I be crazy to order these and just hope more steels come available?

Challenge 30: The Villains

 

Well I was going to wait for the weekend for this but @extantsrevenge be hitting us with the guilt trip about not posting AND it looks like I’m going to have to post 100 steelbooks this weekend as well, so here we go!

 

Immortan Joe - Mad Max Fury Road. Probably my favorite villain in terms of character design (besides Vader).

 

Evil Ash - Army of Darkness. Hilarious bad guy and a great concept. Recently saw this in the theatre again, absolutely love this movie.

 

Sutler and Creedy - V for Vendetta. Couldn’t choose who I hated more in this movie but they were both such satisfying death scenes.

 

Lo Pan - Big Trouble in Little China. Kind of in the same vein as Army of Darkness, more comical than maniacal. “Shut up Mr Burton! You were not brought upon this world to ‘get it’”

 

Agent Smith - The Matrix. V is back but as the villain. Perfectly portrayed.

 

My favorite villain has got to be Darth Vader. Nothing really much to say that hasn’t been. After that probably the Joker, the shark from Jaws, xenomorphs, the predator. Decided not to post any of those as I don’t want all of my submissions to be dominated by those movies/franchises!
 

I need a special edition of that black and chrome!!

Finishing up Challenge #29. Thanks for participating 👍

 

@ncraft  @Steelbook Indy @BreakBeatDJ @Rambo

 

@ukade2327 I think we can say that you did it with 1 retailer, for me the new zavvi Editions are clearly a continuation of the EB line. Also you reached the 2nd award with this challenge, congrats

 

@Scary Hair @bilbon special appreciation for the updated post 🙏. 

 

@Catgirl

 

@sobmaster thanks for closing the holes in your challenge list 😊

 

Moving on to some villains

 

Great selection @Scary Hair Commodus, Landa, Gruber and The Colonel are also villains I enjoy a lot.

 

@ncraft I was thinking about going with Darth Vader as my #1, I went with Joker as he was created decades before Vader and I'm also such a huge comic fan. But like I wrote Darth Vader is easily the greatest villain created for movies. I also really like your inclusion of Woo-jin Lee, certainly one of the great villains of the last 20 years.

 

You also reached the 2nd award

Another strong selection, thanks @Veum I also love Norman Bates, Anthony Perkins is delivering such a great performance as the character.

 

Thanks for including Jang Kyung-chul from I saw the Devil @hal56, I think together with Woo-jin Lee from Oldboy these two are the strongest Korean villains.

 

I love your post @R1s1ngs0n thanks for including that intro to the challenge. After reading I thought "Damn why did I not ask for 5 villains from each of the categories you listed" 😂 . But I fear then I would be listed as #1 villain by many this week 😅

 

@ethnosax thanks for giving the spotlight to some animated villains. There are also many great Anime villains, I guess I could have done a list for every genre 😁

 

@Chief_lookout I know and I absolutely agree.

Nice selection you got. I'm not such a fan of the Benedict Khan, the funny thing is I will be watching Into Darkness today as opening for my Sci-Fi Movie Week, first time in 4K.

 

@bossjon thank you. Some of your editions do not feature the villains, normally you should have included an additional gif of those villains.

 

Nice selection @Peter Manoukian Agent Smith really deserves to be mentioned

 

@jwhitm3 absolutely love your list (besides the inclusion of that Riddler Version 😆)

 

@CAYENNE-FAHRER also a great list. Ozymandias would certainly be included in a longer list of mine.

 

Hope many more will play this cool new challenge during the week.

 

Obviously the joker is better just wanted to shine light on some other great villains. 

And I forgot my favorite villain is........

A gentle breeze - The Happening

Challenge #30 the bad guy!

The Kurgan - highlander 

I would say Clancy Brown's best performance and he's terrifying

Sauron - Lord of the rings

Barely seen at all but he still makes my skin crawl even when he's not there

Hal 9000 - 2001: a space Odyssey

A machine that has logically decided you are the problem is so unsettling

Dead pool 2 - having cable as the straight man was so much fun 

John wick 2 - ups the action and I love it

Evil dead 2 - I love watching Sam Rami torturing Bruce Campbell 

I would love a sequel to gremlins 2.  The second one was much better than the first I loved every minute and wish there was a sequel modeled after the second film

Challenge #13 this is what's good on TV

Game of thrones - I love fantasy

Firefly - an under appreciated masterpiece

Eastbound and down - funniest show ever

70s Star Wars! I refuse to justify this as I have already stated Star Wars!  Fingers crossed for an original theatrical release in 4k

90s the fifth element - second favorite decade for movies.  I love this movie and this artwork is 🔥
