Dr Horrible intended to be evil but never followed through.
I know hating on League is in vogue in some corners of the internet, but I really like Veigar. He claims to be the master of evil but hates that nobody takes him seriously because he's short and he takes umbrage with that. His voice lines are quite fun.
Imho League is an ok game with great lore and a terrible community.
The Brian, otherwise Pinky wouldn't stay with him.
Elphaba from Wicked.
Well, he never says he's evil but is certainly seen as a villian: Dr. Victor van Doom. He's actually glimpsed all possible timelines of humanity and only the one where he reigns is not ending in destruction. https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-4d9668819558c73a8fda43cd4bc0ef0a-lq He is also loved by the people of the country he does rule. And when he had indeed managed to rule the world, it was a time of peace. I mean, mind control peace (he amplified the power of Kilgrave the Purple Man) but still.
If you're asking yourself why Kilgrave didn't simply control him, Doom is one of the few people with so much natural willpower that Kilgrave's powers don't work on him: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/d5/e8/c8/d5e8c8ee71120993b8616128b08a6a22.jpg
Doom does a genocide every other month. There's something to be said for earnestly believing you're the good guy but you can say it about Hitler too.
Character that insist is evil but clearly isn't: Crowley from Supernatural.
But I think that character that is actually evil but still charming is more interesting, and for that I bring forward Baal from Stargate.
Crowly as in Good Omens?
Different character, but there is a lot of overlap. When the show introduced Crowley for the first time, I thought it was an omage to Good Omens.
You guys know about the actual occultist Crowley, right?
No, from Supernatural. I don't remember Crowley from Good Omens claiming to be bad
RIP the actor that played Ba’al.
He was a disturbingly good looking man, damn.
Since my usual suspects are already mentioned, I'll go a little more esoteric - ProZD's "a villain who always does unintentionally helpful things" - https://youtu.be/GPUgjy-Pn-4
Dr. Cortex is undoubtedly evil; but he MASSIVELY overexaggerates just how much of an evil genius he is. The worst thing he did (other than building a slave army from endangered native creatures) was shoot an emu one time. Most of the other bad things he did were more incompetence than malice
Is he a veteran of the Emu War? Most soldiers are not considered evil for murdering the other side.
No, he just shot an emu in cold blood to advance the plot a bit quicker.
Literally Satan.
Among his greatest sins: trying to be a bro and let Adam and Eve know that they were naked in some perv's garden
Edit: come to think of it, it's not entirely accurate, as I don't think Satan ever claims to be evil. But there's a lot of anti-Satan propaganda in the Bible.
TV show Lucifer is a fun watch. The Devil gets tired of running Hell and decides to relocate to LA.
It would be so much of a better show if it wasn't such a copoganda. The writing is great, actors are great, but their insistence to suck cops dics and portray the police as this noble organization that is making the world the better place one brutalised civilian at a time is just tiring.
Get over yourself. If you can suspend your disbelief to watch a show about the Devil running a nightclub, you can watch 'copaganda.'
You remind me of the people who complain about bad language in rap music; if you're going to be offended by something, it's your job to stay away from it.
nah, it's a legitimate complaint, and exactly the reason I stopped watching after a couple episodes. They portray cops like they're "angel helpers" and it just reeks of bootlicking bullshit. The main character is Lucifer Morningstar, or the guy who's main schtick is questioning authority, and yet he's 5-0's best friend. It completely destroys the idea behind the show, when the obvious corrupt organization is never taken to task. Atlanta shows cops as they are, this show is just copaganda.
It's a TV show, produced to sell advertising in the USA.
You might as well complain about the lack of vegan options at McDonald's.

Megamind. Dude raised in prison and bullied his whole life, he just want attention from Metroman. Once he got the attention of Roxanne the act basically stopped.
He did more-or-less kill, and then steal the identity of, the museum guy. He's not a paragon of virtue, either.
He didn't kill him he used the dehydration gun which turns people into cubes. He can be put into water and will be back like nothing happens. He even used that in the finale to defeat Tighten
Yeah, but he isn't evil that he likes to think he is. He kinda mess up the town once in a while while trying to get even with Metroman. Though there's no confirmed kill from him. Titan on the other hand is evil.
