Now let’s do the opposite; Top 10 GOOD Characters that were EVIL All Along.

My choice is Mr. Freeze; He just wanted to save his wife. 😢🎉

Technically the Grinch wasn’t evil; remember he was bullied at school and he was angry with everyone

“Being nice is different than being good” is such a powerful quote!

According to TV Tropes this list would be an example of "Good All Along."

A few honorable mentions: Rcules Husty - Ohsama Sentai King-ohger Nebula - guardians of the galaxy franchise Deckard Shaw - fast and the furious franchise Wes Mantooth - anchorman franchise

Kronk from Emperors New Groove… more of a lovable goof ball than an evil henchman. Are you talking to that squirrel 🤣

Whether or not you can say Snape was good is questionable given how terribly he treated everyone like Harry and Neville, especially given how everything was technically his fault since he was the one who told Voldemort the prophecy and didn’t care who would have been killed aside from Lily.

Making Snape the number one choice is insane. Like give him somewhere in the bottom 5 of this list but not number 1! His redemption only came about from his love for Lily. He tried to convince Voldemort to kill Harry and James but keep Lily alive and when Voldemort said no he only protected Harry because of her. And let's not forget that Neville, who had watched his parents get tortured and knew the horrors of the world, was most afraid of Snape when faced with a boggart. He had no reason to torment Neville but his own cruelty.

Please do more on the evil characters who turn out to be good people

Old man Marley was sweet ):

Darth Vader when he saved Luke Skywalker

Because I’m sensing former bad guys were misunderstood.

From Deadpool's perspective, Cable was evil. Cable was good the entire time.

There was also the pigeon lady in "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York," and it's a real similar situation with Old Man Marley in the first "Home Alone" movie. One might also argue about Nebula in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but that could be debatable.

The Grinch wasn't good all along, he literally had a change of heart.

I couldn’t identify what was fishy about Plutarch Heavensbee in the _Catching Fire_ novel, but I was in for a big surprise when he cast aside his villainous side.

Thanks for so interesting and valuable video as always ❤❤❤

Now we need the other side of the coin with good characters who turned out to be evil all along. As well as lists for both in animated productions.

Um, Roy Batty was a "good guy"?! Did we watch the same movie?

Honorable mentions (If they count) The T-800 - "Terminator 2: Judgement Day" (1991) Raven Darkhölme/Mystique - "X-Men: Days of Future Past" (2014) Scar - "Alien vs. Predator" (2004) Drop Dead Fred - "Drop Dead Fred" (1991) Nebula - "Guardians of the Galaxy" Franchise (2014-) Loki - "Thor" Franchise (2011-) James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes/Winter Solider - "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" (2014) Atilla the Hun - “Night at the Museum” Franchise (2006-)

Love it. Thanks!

When watchmojo said 'don't underestimate the power of bagel', that moment on I felt my stomach is growling 😂😂😂

Sid from Toy Story, he tortured toys to deal with the frustration of having a disfunctional family and he didn't know they were alive

Top 30 iconic monster types of all time

11:01 he is by far the best one ever who everyone was so wrong to think of a villian

Spot: You hit me with a **BAGEL!!!**

Idea: Top ten heroes so poorly made they feel like villains

Crowley from Supernatural

Encanto, Bruno. They made a song “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”, making it sounded like his a villain when he really isn’t.

Think about Rita in Groundhog Day. Phil has known her for thousands of days, and went from trying to seduce her to actually falling in love. From Rita's perspective, she's really only known Phil for a couple of days, thinking he's an absolute jerk. Again from her perspective, she had a one night stand with this jerk, and he proposes to her the next day. I wish them the best, but I have my doubts.

4:53 that's marvellous!

7:26 Hats off to the editor for that little flourish lol

Honorable mentioned: 1. General Hux - Star Wars Rise of the Skywalkers 2. Zangief - Street Fighter (1995) 3. Otto Octavius/Dr Octopus - Spider-Man 2/No Way Home 4. Mick O'Brien - Bad Boys (1983) 5. Godzilla - Godzilla (2014)/GvK

To me, the Louis Renault one is the ur-example in how to make everyone think you are a bad guy when, in perspective, you are a morally gray man in a time of war. We all can agree that corruption is a bad thing, but as narrator's said, can be both ways and as his morals are skewed, they are not outright villanous.

Itachi Uchiha

Old Man Marly deserves to be on the list. Marly's saving Kevin is wonderful. Plutarch Heavenbee and Francis Hummel deserve to be on the list,based on video. Grinch is very similar to Ebenezer Scrooge. Snape deserves his place among heroes. He did right thing. Good video

I figured this would be film characters, but honestly the best 2 in all of media were The Boss from Snake Eater and Ocelot through MGS1-4!! He was the original Snape 🤨

They were never bad people but rather broken who experienced trauma in their past to make them like this

I KNEW Snape would be #1.

Groundhog Day. Phil goes to all the trouble of becoming good and helping people, and still wakes up trapped. He only gets released when he nails Rita. So much for being good!

When Arnie did the thumbs up at the end of T2 I shed a tear

How could you not include Rcules Husty From Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger He portrayed one of the greatest villains, he had to pretend to be evil in order to outsmart the main villain

How do you not include the dad from Wanted? That was such a good twist

5:38 Didn’t he show Katniss his mocking jay watch at that party before the 75th games began?

11:38 after all this time ….. Always

I don't know if this counts (at least semi-redeemable) Blackhand from the Warcraft movie. The line that comes to mind (and apologies if I misspell): This is a Mog'Gorah, you will honor our traditions.

This might be an odd suggestion, but The Wise One in the first 2 Golden Sun games. Literally seems like your spirit guide only to turn out to be the main villain by the beginning of game 2. But at the end of it all [spoiler warning] turns out it he was a good guy the while time. I can only best describe it as if Dr Strange looked at all possible futures and the one which turned out the best happened to be the one where he had to act like a villain for a time.

Bucky Barnes saved Cap America

T-800 (Terminator 2: Judgement Day) Shrek (Shrek) The Bad Guys (The Bad Guys) Ralph (Wreck-It Ralph) Walter Bruner (Escape from East Berlin) Slugworth (Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory) Sirius Black (Harry Potter & The Prisoner of Azkaban) Sid's Frankentoys (Toy Story) Mr. Burnish (Abominable) Billy Butcherson (Hocus Pocus) Zangief (Street Fighter) Morgan Moonscar (Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island) Jamal (The Chipmunk Adventure)

Winter Soldier and Pluto/Sahad deserved to honorable mentions

You Forgot Alastor From Hazbin Hotel he saved the hotel

In the movies though Snape is only depicted as a mean teacher and we never see his duplicitous ways like we do in the first movie and in the final three movies. We don't learn that he is continuously being a spy in the movies until the HBP and by then we got his "betrayal" at the end and his "redemption" in the 8th and final movie.

Snape wasn't good. He only turned against Voldemort because he killed Lilly, and only helped Dumbledore because of the guilt he felt for his involvement. But he always remained committed to the dark arts, and would've replaced Voldemort if he had lived.

How about character you didn't know were a villain till you watch the movie

What about Carrie White, because of the trauma and abuse she constantly endured, and Paul Dano's character in the dark crime drama Prisoners?

My favorite trope when the bad guy becomes good.

I like GROUNDHOG DAY and DR. SEUSS’ HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. I also love THE ROCK and the HARRY POTTER franchise.

Yondu; "He maybe your father, but he wasn't your daddy".

I don't know why people are always so surprised by the Snape twist. JK is a hack and is was obvious from the very first story that Snape was protecting Harry.

Surprised Megamind isn’t on this list

Calling Phil Connors evil may be an exaggeration, don’t you think?

Gaby Gaby from Toy Story 4.

Talk about a bad guy gone good.

Sometimes you have to dig in the soul of a person to find the goodness in them

3:28 actually Wade time traveled at the end of the movie to save Vanessa.

Darth Vader, Harley Quinn, Diego from Ice Age and Elsa from Frozen.

You know what some say: “never judge a book by its cover.”

Cable didn’t save Vanessa, Deadpool did that with cables watch. That said, cable did make it so that wade survived his sacrifice attempt while still making it so that Russel’s future was changed due to wade’s attempted self sacrifice

this is insane

Top 10 Best Moments from No Time to Spy: A Loud House Movie!

For the Blade Runner franchise, the main character in the sequel being a replicant made him more of a hero (self-sacrifice and all), not less.

Ironically Roberts Blossem AKA "Old Man Marley" actually did play serial killer in "Deranged: The confessions of a necrophile" (1974) which was loosely based on Ed Gein.

being nice is good, but being good isnt always nice

The only thing bad about Everything Everywhere All At Once was the villain because there were tons of plotholes in my opinion that needed to be filled like I don't know about the villain's origins.

1-The Royal family perpetuates a society where people born with inferior DNA by random chance are forced into slavery 2-Black Bolt is given two-way communicator as writers forget the basic things about main character- If he talks , he emits sonic scream, so He trained himself to not speak and communicate with sign language , How would giving him two-way communicator work ? . *Even Echo writers knew throughout the series that Maya Lopez is deaf and Mute and communicates with Sign Language hence there is not a single scene that showed her with two way communicator unlike Black Bolt in Inhumans* 3-Medusa - absolute jerk to everyone around her except her family, making you feel sorry for everyone she meets on Earth and has no storyline 4- Maximus- seems more heroic and better protagonist than entire Royal family despite *being main antagonist of Inhumans* *The supposed bad guy overthrow a corrupt government to end slavery without spilling any blood. In what universe is Maximus not the hero of the story?* 5-Inhumans final episode You don’t care about anything happening We never see Attilan and its people *In a single episode , They use random plot twists out of nowhere to make Maximus, the only good person in Royal family, more evil than the Royal family who learned nothing from their time on Earth and are still racist idiots they were from Episode 1*

Time stamps would be nice for those of us looking to avoid spoilers.

Cole Williams - 21 Agent 47 - Hitman Agent 47 Octopussy and the Octopus Cult - Octopussy Milos Columbo - For Your Eyes Only Han - Red 2 Caine - John Wick 4

Roy Batty and all the replicants. They just wanted to live and be free.

I will always have empathy for evil characters as I have turned evil due to pain.

I Absolutely Love these Evil Characters, when it turns out They're Actually the Good Guys all along

came for itachi was disappointed :(

I'm still disappointed that Domino is not in Deadpool and Wolverine

Mongo from Blazing Saddles??? Maybe?

Top Ten (10) Villain’s Plot Twists.

Does Bruno Madrigal from Encanto count? Everyone thought he was bad until we were proven wrong when Mirabel found him.

I think of mr. Orange from reservoir dogs

so Snape is also doing the Infernal Affair...?!

Who do we begin and end with here I wonder?

Mr. Mertle (James Earl Jones) from the Sandlot. "Why didn't you just knock on the door I would've gotten it for ya"

Snape gotta be in this list

Did u say bahgels instead of bagels? Did Britta from Community write ur script?

Thanos better be on this list... Edit: watched the video and my Favorite superHero Thanos wasn't on the list 😢

Snape being a good guy shocked everyone

Does Douglas Quaid count?

I knew professor Snape was going to be number one he was one of the best characters in Harry Potter

bad guys are the former good guys all along, but they return to the good side.

If Snape is number 1 than Itachi Uchiha is number 0

I still cry when I see Marley in Home Alone
