Source: Little Shop of Horrors Villain: Orin Scrivello Nominator: BetrayedTangy (2 left) Favorite lyric: When I start extracting those molars / You girls will be screaming like holy rollers https://youtu.be/bOtMizMQ6oM Villainy: 7 Characterization: 6 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. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs <cite>Johnbobb posted [p:941799753] in Johnbobb r...
