The Joker named the greatest movie villain ever? WTF!

There have been some whispers floating around suggesting that the inspiration for Hit's Joker might actually trace back to the character of Dante Alighieri from that slightly more obscure but truly excellent 1994 Sci-Fi thriller, Death Machine. So, for anyone who finds themselves drawn to Hit's specific take on the character, I’d certainly recommend giving this film a watch as well.👍

Is that the one from Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)... you know, where he wiped out all the firstborn kids in Egypt? It’s wild—people choose the Joker, yet they just overlook this literal child-killer.

.........they leave you with this sense of primal evil, but it’s an evil that actually feels purposeful.

Exactly. Emperor Darth Sidious.
Even back when he was Chancellor Palpatine, he radiated this ancient, insidious, and calculated kind of malice—driven by a pure desire to manipulate and control every facet of existence...

I’m not even going to bother looking up the actor's name right now... but whoever played that character delivered a performance that was nothing short of flawless.

And the other villains in Star Wars, like General Grievous or Snoke... even Darth Vader... they all possess this streak of unadulterated evil. It might not hit as hard for everyone here, but to me, it's genuinely chilling.

I’d also throw in the Alien from the original Alien film... just pure, hungry evil.
