My mom's stuff has been more disappointing than anything. Not outwardly racist, but typical middle aged Facebook mom nonsense about how talking about society's problems is the real problem. She's smart but often just stays willfully ignorant on some things (she only found out about the Catholic Church scandal like a year or two ago and I don't think she believes it)

Better than my cousin and uncle though, who go on Facebook to call Obama a corrupt n***** and talk about radical Muslims

So, as much as I would love to see Sam gain even more recognizability (and to be clear, I'm not saying he's like some totally obscure figure either), maybe we should leave him at the fringes of our minds, watching us silently as we drift in and out of Halloween traditions, encouraging us with a distant stare to never forget what made Halloween so special to us, albeit with a chocolate bar switchblade behind his back!
So the one thing that hurts Sam for me is that final segment of Trick r' Treat that reveals Sam's face as a weird demon thing and has him directly attacking someone.

For me, what makes Sam work is his mystery. He's sort of like The Watchers in Marvel, only he exclusively watches tragedies taking place on Halloween, and it's never quite clear what hand, if any, he had in how the events played out. Making him a simple, angry demon thing really hurt the character.

Man, it took me a while to figure out the context of this without having actually played the Blazblue series. I'm still not sure if I should say this is the song of one villain over the other, or both together, given that there's some weird possession shenanigans going on here. Like several of the songs on this list, it takes a serious hit on the melody score entirely for the vocals. The intsrumentals here rock, and could've done much better as a song with the forced lyrics. I get the strong feeling they recorded the instrumental first and added lyrics much later, as the vocals are oddly just sort of squeezed into the lines to match the music, but often stretching out words for multiple beats and emphasizing weird syllables in a way that makes everything just feel very wrong. It doesn't tell us a whole lot about these characters though, which is a shame given how complicated they're situation is. What it DOES tell us is that this guy is fucking evil as shit. This one verse alone:

What is this
Ill kill you all just for fun and games
And in the most cruel way, sacrifice you
What a shame, no escape
Even if you cry out, theres no one
Nothing but violence can save the world

This is someone who kills without hesitation and relishes in the harm he's inflicting.

Melody: 2
Total: 15/30

So I'm in the very very very small minority with the opinion that the original Little Shop of Horrors 1960s b-movie horror/comedy is better than the musical or the film remake. The original was short, dark, and hilarious. The musical remake took the same story beats, but drastically changed the tone of it, making it bigger, campier, and just not really my cup of tea at all. One example of this is Steve Martin's dentist. He's goofy and has a very Steve Martin-y type of humor that I've never cared for and definitely doesn't match Nicholson's original performance (fun fact, originally Nicholson was a sadomasochistic dental patient rather than a dentist himself). On top of that, it puts Steve Martin in a singing role despite the fact that he's really not a particularly good singer, and this song really just kinda jumps around, serving more as a vessel for Martin's personality to come through. It still grabs the very sadistic sensibility of the dentist at least (even if they feel the need to explain it through violent, detailed backstory of him murdering small animals. He's incredibly sadistic, and while I feel like I need to give this credit in this ranking for explaining why he is how he is surprisingly elaborately in such a short song, I can't help but still prefer the brutal mystery of the original Wilbur Force.

--FIND YOUR WAAAAAY, FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So originally this song was ranked much lower. MUCH lower. It's not a particularly villainous song, only just barely scoring more than a 1 for its mention of vengeful thoughts, and even that's a stretch. The song also tells me very little about Saavedro and DEFINITELY very little about the person Saavedro is singing to. I get that they're trapped on an island, desperately hoping for the listener to FIND THEIR WAY, FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO THEEEEEEM, but also recognizing the complexity and possible toxicitry of their relationship.

I had it ranked lower, until I listened to it again. And again. And again. And it always just seemed to FIND ITS WAAAAAAAAY, FIND ITS WAAAAAAY BACK TO MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

We've slowly been moving into the territory of some real damn villains, and what marks that transition better than literal Satan leading an army of demons? At least, I figure that's who this is about, but I can't truly be sure (without context of the original video for it) because the lyrics are so damn vague. I think the singer, who I assume is Satan, just wants destruction, but also maybe he wants power? He's singing to... somebody? Maybe an angel on the other side? He both sings that he's going to take the listener down and also asks the listener not to leave him? To be completely honest, I don't think Symphony X themselves had a particularly clear idea of where they wanted to go with this song, aside from them wanting it to shred. And shred it does.

Hey, so the issue's I had with the vocals on Gamma Unchained? Not so much here, where the song is anything but dull. Like Gamma Unchained, it records the song over 8-bit instrumentals, but never feels limited by them; they're there more for added flavor than as a strict guideline. Part of me wants to dislike the song; there's a lot going on in a way that would usually strike me as unpleasant, and yet I'm still feeling a little jazzed over it.

The subject matter of the song is Metal Man, who... look I haven't played the Mega Man games but as far as I knew he was basically just a robot with some blades. This song definitely fucks with that perception, giving Metal Man a love story that I wasn't expecting and definitely didn't ask for. It's such a touching love song, in fact, that it robs Metal Man of anything that made him villainous! He just wants love but he can't accept it into his lonely, metal heart! That's so sad! Also he's not a dentist?!?

I LOVE Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. Always have. Geen Wilder as Willy Wonka is one of my favorite performances of all time. But I definitely gotta give some credit to Julie Dawn Cole here, who just effortlessly dominates this scene. I never cared for Veruca Salt as a character, which is kind of the point. She's the worst. She's the definition of spoiled taken to its absolute extreme. It's not entirely her fault either, because her dad is a total enabler, where she ultimately just seems to be testing her limits with him, which ultimately don't exist. She's hateable, but not evil. While the song itself isn't much, Cole has some nice range here, going from shouting orders to quiet and calm within moments. Like many songs in this film, it's simply iconic.

My memory of Kill la Kill is pretty spotty, but I don't remember Ragyo being remotely sympathetic in the way her song presents. Also they used only a tiny snippet of her song for her introduction that made it seem more menacing than the full song actually is, so it's not a great representation.
Yeah that's kind of the impression I got from trying to find context for it. I don't assume the actual villain is nearly as sympathetic as the song presents

I haven't seen Kill la Kill and don't know much about Ragyo Kiryuin, and as such going off strictly this song makes her seem surprisingly sympathetic. She appears to be violent and aggressive, sure, but not evil. Instead, she seems as though she believes violence is necessary ("It is advisable to remove withered flowers") simply as part of nature, but has no understanding of why what she does is wrong ("This world is cruel, it is sad but true" / "Why do you look so sad?") You kind of feel for her a bit. It simultaneously humanizes her as a character while also establishing her as a necessary antagonist. As far as the song itself, it only adds to the sad tone of the lyrics. The vocals are powerful, the music is pleasant, and while it doesn't leave the strongest impression on me, it's certainly effective at what it tries to do

Happy Pride Month! Look, I know we just barely missed the cut on that, but consider this an honorary pride month announcement.

For those not yet aware, the next film ranking will be LGBT films, hosted by me, in my first ranking as host! This will be a little different than most of the list rankings, as instead of this being a specific genre (horror, romcom, scifi), this list will be a bit of a wider subgenre focus, with any genre of movie applicable,with the determining factor being a film's focus on LGBT characters and culture. We've got dramas, romcoms, thrillers, biopics, documentaries, and more; a little something for everyone to love or hate.

The list is looking to be due October 10, 2020. This will be 3 month and 1 week from today, which will hopefully provide a nice time frame for viewing.

Without further ado, the list!

So I know we're obviously supposed to side with Jesus here, given that it's, you know, Jesus, but King Herod raises a good point! I mean, kind of, even if he's a total, condescending and hateful ass about it all. Having doubts that this man who claims to be the son of god is telling the truth and asking for him to provide evidence isn't particularly unreasable for a person in a leadership position! But it's the way he chooses his wording and emphasizes certain words to mock Jesus that just really makes you want to hate the guy. King Herod's song has all the makings of a solid villain song. It's catchy as hell, while giving you a reasonable explanation of the subject's ideas and position (in this case, that he thinks Jesus is a fraud deserving imprisonment) while ultimately giving you a reason to hate them.

These kind of songs are a little difficult to rank, because, at least for me, it requires you to be in a very specific mood to really appreciate them. If this caught me on just the right day, maybe I'd jam out to it a little, but for the most part, I'd never want to listen to this on my own terms. It's just... a lot. Like the vocals are all but competing against the music itself, and both are just all over the place. When I hear this, all I can picture is that viral video of the cybergoth rave under the bridge

https://imgur.com/8fuD6Fk

While it's not my thing, I definitely get why it appeals to people, and this song in particular is really dark. It seems as though it's being told from the perspective of a killer, though the lyrics are just vague enough to make it unclear what exactly is happening. The opening line of "The knowledge of living a miserable life will haunt you once you are dead" is immediately striking and sets the tone for the rest of the song, which seems to focus on themes of death, rebirth and misery. Story-wise, I only wish I could grasp a little more what it's just to say, but I feel like I'm definitely missing a great context to tie it together that would've gone a long way.

Source: The Simpsons

Villainy: 8
Characterization: 4
Melody: 2
Total: 14/30

You gotta admit, it's catchy.

Mr. Burns is like the cartoon villain to end all cartoon villains, and that's on show plenty here, where he goes full Cruella De Vil (whose song was surprisingly not nominated) but instead of parodying that song, it goes with Beauty and the Beast's "Be My Guest" because... it rhymes? This song actually kind of simplifies Mr. Burns' character into a one-note villain, which is kind of a knock against it, but at the same time, it is, like every other Simpsons song nominated, a fun joke scene first and a song second. Let's be real, Mr. Burns isn't a good singer. He's not abrasive like Man on the Internet was, but also doesn't have a great song backing him to help him out. He is, however, comically evil, bragging about the various endangered animals he's had killed and made into clothes for no reason beyond "he wanted to," going as far as to imply he was killing to kill his own employees to make into clothes (now that's tongue in cheek and definitely wasn't meant to be taken seriously, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to read into every line!). On top of that, the song's ultimate goal is expressing his desire to kill a bunch of puppies and make them into clothing, which is something literally only a cartoon character could ever think is a reasonble plan.

85. Your Contract Has Expired
Source: A Hat in Time (Man on the Internet fansong)
Villain: The Snatcher
Nominator: Pirateking2000 (3 left)
Favorite lyric: And the weird and the wild / Should have left you all beguiled / Guess that's that / You hat wearing child

https://youtu.be/fmz1p0U_sPk

Villainy: 8
Characterization: 4
Melody: 2
Total: 14/30

Hey remember that other Man on the Internet song that was nominated and how the worst thing about it was the godawful vocals? YEAH THAT'S STILL THE FUCKING CASE. And it upsets me more here, because I'm a huge fan of A Hat In Time and it's fantastic OST. This is an excellent boss theme, and the lyrics going along with it are pretty decent, and with a nice vocalist this could've been excellent. But holy shit are those vocals grating to listen to. I get he's trying to do the Snatcher's voice, but fuck, man, it just sounds bad.

Beyond that, solid enough fansong! It does a decent job capturing both the anger and manipulation of the character, coupled with his sassiness. He's basically the devil from every "deal with the devil" story out there, but with just a little more flavor to make him stand out. Fun fact, I had the characterization score as a 5/10 until the last section of the song, where it basically tells the listener to like and subscribe as part of the song. Sorry, that loses you points, no avoiding it. I don't think we need much villainy explanation here though. You threaten to kill a child and steal their soul and have them "sleep now in the fire" during the song, you're pretty goddamn villainous.

Hey, I wanted to like Anthem of the Heart!

I even said, out loud to my girlfriend, like 20 minutes in or so "You know, I think this might end up being one of my favorites from the list. It's REALLY good so far."

Then it just progressively downhill for the rest of the movie. Ended up getting some eyerolls and I ultimately felt let down by the end
