PS: IMDb Pollboard's Most Regrettable Villains

@Master_Strange 

Would you like to be the other side of the medal and suggest the heroes poll?

We could link each other's poll afterwards. ;)

I've put your suggestions on the list.

@Breumaster Yes, Sure y not.

The Title should be this? "IMDb Pollboard's Most Regrettable Heroes"

and copy your suggestion right?

@Master_Strange 

That's what I had in mind. You can also be creative, if you want so.

It's a good idea you had to reverse it, so why not doing it?

@Breumaster 

Can You Check This for me, tell me if i missed something.

@Master_Strange 

Thank you for suggesting. I detected a little problem. I explicitly excluded tv-series, so I won't take images from TV-Series, except when there are no better images in movies. In the case of Loki, I changed the TV-Series-image you gave me the Url, with a way better showing image from 'Thor: Ragnarok'.

@Master_Strange 

I didn't find your heroes page. What happened? Did you delete it?

@Breumaster Yes, i deleted it. No one participated.

@Brijesh 

Thank you very much, Brijesh. These are excellent picks.

I wonder why there are no better images for Two-Face on the site, but ok. ;)

@mariojacobs 

Sorry, mario. I missed your suggestion. I've put Dr. Phibes on the list. He is a wonderful pick! Why do you think Zé Pequeno aka Li'l Zé is a good pick? I had the impression he enjoyed it from childhood on. Or is it that? Did you pick him because he had no one who grounded him when he was a kid?

@Breumaster

in my opinion, the message of the film is that he is the product of an evil heartless society 

@mariojacobs 

Ok, I'll put him on the list. Even though there could be a flood of characters like him. I don't want to think about Gotham in that connotation. ;)

@mariojacobs 

If you want, you can pick a third one. I stated it in the rules later. I'm curious about.

any Frankenstein, any werewolf, any zombie, any Hyde/Jekyll character is actually an eligible regrettable villain. None of them has control over his status. I'm from a time when Hulk was a regrettable villain, not a hero like today. He would go berserk and destroy everything not recalling anything after the re-transformation...

@ElMaruecan82 

On 'The Godfather':

I don't think so. In the same turn, he took over all the family business and meanwhile enjoyed his childs baptism. He didn't just safe his father, he also killed a lot of people in the same turn. And he himself has chosen to be the successor. He learned from his father, yes. But he could  also have turned away from families ties much more earlier, if he wanted so. His father wouldn't have killed him for that. He would only have been disappointed - and there still was Fredo, who could have taken his advantage. So he would have got rid off Fredo without spoiling his own Kharma. But he enjoyed it. This fact is obviously when I consider how easy he has overtaken his father's empire and how rigid he lead it from the first minute. He wanted to be like that, it's a bad quality of his personality. Only in the third part, when he turned old, he realized what he caused. When he saw his daughter grown up and the old mafia rules were gone. At last he regreted - too late. Which costs his daughter's life. But who would regret him at that late state?

There's nothing that he did that wasn't :

a/ a way to prevent someone from his family to be killed

b/ a retaliation following the killing of someone dear or a murder attempt against himself of someone dear

c/ a necessary move because it's either him or the other

Never joy or a personal quest for power, all he ever wanted to do was protect his family and make his business legitimate. No murder or crime he ordered wasn't motivated by either a, b or c. 

@ElMaruecan82 

Ok, you know what? I skip the rule, because it seems more urgent to you than to me.

@ACT_1 

Very funny, ACT_1. Beelejuice is no human or alien, or other beeing. He's an appearance from the grave. I wouldn't count him to heroes or villains. He simply is what he is, he has an extra position in the netherworld. I think I'll exclude ghosts and appearances as well as the reapers, because it's lesser a matter of their own necessities, but more a life-death-moral-kharma thing over all.

@CyrilMartin 

Hi, Cyril. Have you got a second one? I've put your suggestion on the list. Lensherr was brutally forced to be a villain when he was really young. That's fitting very good. I took a more fitting, more symbolic explaining image why he was forced into being a villain. Because many people who may haven't seen the movie in which it was explained, would ask themselves why I took him. The image with the coin is very symbolic so I picked that one. And there are lesser good explaining images for Erik Lensherr's vita. Ok, Magneto is on the list.

@Breumaster

Hey Breu, yes the picture seems more fitting to your list.

I thought I had many characters in mind but can't quite remember maybe because of the ongoing exam tension🙃 , anyways I'll get back to you if I remember any more options.

@CyrilMartin 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your exam. That's in deed much more important than knowing regrettable villains, except you want to cure them. ;)

Thanks, Breu. 😊
