Fictional Villains You Despise...

I think Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog is an awesome villain, but I'll never forgive him for what he did to Ray.

Fernando Escandon from Fuego en la Sangre.

Mr. Swelter from the first Gormenghast novel.

He was rather pathetic. Goblet of Fire didn't even have to happen, why didn't (SPOILERS) Voldemort have Harry's toothbrush turned into a portkey instead of going through all this crap so that he touches the Cup.

Harry Lime.

My guess is that he was hoping to encourage disunity between the three schools, but forget Voldemort. It's Fudge and Umbridge that I REALLY hated. What those greedy, selfish, corrupt, ignorant people in the ministry did in the fifth book made me so angry that I ultimately turned my back on the Harry Potter franchise.

Dunno about Fudge. He should have known better, and I did detest him, but I really hate-hate-hated Umbridge, and I did get turned off the Harry Potter franchise because of what happened in The Order of the Phoenix. That said, I am intending to read The Half-Blood Prince for my book reading blog soon.

Oh, and I found a new villainess to despise. Not really a villainess, but just a petty little b***h that I saw in the Heartbeat episode 'Dead Men Do Tell Tales'. One of the main characters, a nurse called Carol, rushes to a phone box to call an ambulance, but leaves her car and a bag with drugs (including pethidine) behind. A group of boys steal said car and drugs. One of the boys gets run over. His lawyer mother, upon learning what happened, decides to ruin Carol's career, out of sheer spite, claiming that, as a minor, her boy didn't know better in stealing the car and drugs, while Carol, even though she was trying to help someone, did know better, and thus was negligent. Even though the evidence stacked up and Carol tried to reconcile, that b***h wouldn't let up until her own son confessed to the crime, and laid the verbal smackdown to his mother in the process. The son was a far better and braver person than the mother.

Meinert from Diary of a Lost Girl.

Then again, aside from the protagonist, almost everybody in that film.

I agree with the comments about Umbridge and Fudge, mostly Umbridge.

Also, the Thenardiers in Les Miserables. Everyone else in that book was just doing what they thought was right, while the Thenardiers have no redeeming qualities. (I also kind of want to add Victor Hugo. Although he comes up with really good plots, he's way too long-winded and the only author that I'd actually consent to being abridged.)

The 7th book makes Umbridge even more detestable, especialy with what she keeps on her door, and that she doesn't even care that Voldemort is in charge.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by the question.

Fictional characters are fictional characters.

If I were just like myself, only living in the Harry Potter world, then I would despise the Malfoys and Voldemort, because they are cruel, snobby gits.

But I don't despise them as fictional characters, because they are part of the story. Without them, there is no story. Those characters are all well-played by the actors who portray them in the movies, and well-written in the books. So, with that in mind, they are far from being villians that I despise, and are actually villains that I love.

If I despise a fictional character, villain or not, it's because I think the story/movie would be improved if that character wasn't in it. Offhand, I can't think of any villain characters like that.

Moriarty from the Sherlock Holmes stories is a twit.

All the more hateful since he was intelligent and he knew better.

that one guy from that one thing

Well, I gotta tell you... I usually LOVE the villains! A movie or book is only as good as the bad guy, in my opinion. Besides, they're usually the most interesting people in the film or book. For instance, the greatest character in Star Wars wasn't Luke, Han, or Leia - it was Darth Vader.

I technically agree. In fact, I omitted a lot of villains because I liked them, and thought they were magnificent, or else enjoyable, but the ones I mentioned were ones I would love to kill myself. Not because they have any redeeming features, but rather because they get on my nerves...
