The Pitters' Place

Time for the first March Madness-style bracket. In this, we are looking not at who would win in a fight, but who was the better villain. We are looking at both goals and deeds (and song choice if we must go there). Seeds were determined based on a combination of various rankings on other sites.

First up: #1 Scar (The Lion King) vs #16 Facilier (The Princess & the Frog)

Scar: Goal - take over the pridelands. Method: Kill brother, banish simba, goosestepping hyenas

Facilier: Goal - Take over New Orleans and feed the souls to the shadow demons. Method: Tricking a prince into being turned into a frog, and use the prince's valet as a puppet ruler by having said valet (disguised as the prince) marrying into the richest family of NO.

Both are willing to use the tools they have at their disposal to kill. Both are presented to have a sharp mind and not as physically strong as other characters. Scar has his claws, and Facilier has shadow demons that will do his bidding as long as he provides something worthwhile (souls mostly) in return.

+1 for Claudius

Lol. This did confuse me though . I was like "I didn't know Princess Bride was Disney!"

Thanks for pointing that out. Edited for clarification

This one took me awhile to get, even though I had to read Hamlet so many damned times in school.

Thinking about closing the poll early considering the commanding lead.

Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller...

I've stayed out of it because I haven't seen the Princess and the Frog and it isn't fair to just vote Scar by default.

I'm sure you can find plenty of clips of either villain.

Fan fact; Scar was voiced by the guy playing Batfleck's alfred. Dr Facilier was voice by the guy that also voiced Goliath (from Gargoyles).

Yah but I'm not doing homework

It's not homework. It's research.

JEREMY IRONS! His name is JEREMY IRONS! Goddamnit. He was Alan Rickman's brother in Die Hard 3, and lots of other roles.

Gargoyles > Die Hard 3

I can't tell if that's serious or not.

Ambiguity ftw! But no, it wasn't serious.

I think I feel safe in calling it now. Scar wins.
