Line 73:
* ''[[Back to the Future]]'': While he gets a lot of genuinely funny lines, Biff Tannen is still a real shitheel at the end of the day. It's bad enough that he's currently George McFly's boorish, overbearing boss, but when they were teenagers he was a violent bully who got his kicks out of cruelly humiliating him, and attempts to do the same to Marty when he travels back to 1955. He's also an attempted rapist who tries to have his way with Lorraine, but gets his lights punched out when George finally stands up to him.
* ''[[Delgo]]''{{'}}s villain Sedessa has been criticized for being cliche; it's also made clear that she has made things far worse for both the Nohrin and the Lochni, who had coexisted peacefully before she stepped on. The Kockni had stopped giving the Nohrin land, but it was only because they themselves needed land in order to survive. But while King Zahn (the Nohrin king) wished to negotiate, Sedessa chose to commit genocide out of xenophobia and ruthless pragmatism, even encouraging her own brother (the king) to do the same. Inevitably, Sedessa’s actions cause a race war... but her later decision to murder King Zahn and his wife only made things worse. And she did it over being punished for causing so much horrible things.
* Calvin Candie from ''[[Django Unchained]]''. Director [[Quentin Tarantino]] claims he has some sympathy for most villains in his films, and “liked them to some degree or another”. This even applies to [[Inglourious Basterds| Hans Landa]]; as much of a monster as he was, Tarantino could at least "see his point of view” and that actor Christoph Waltz made him likable. Not Candie, however. He is the only character in Tarantino's films that he absolutely hates. A man who is racist, sadistic, impulsive, unpredictable, and selfish, he stands out even for someone known for creating some of the most vile villains in film.
