Who is the Best "Final Boss" Disney Villain? 

The fact that Bill had to be tricked shows just how dangerous he was, while the others had to be beaten physically while Bill was virtually unstoppable

Definitely bill.

“ In order to become final boss, villain, you must possess a child“ Famous villain quote

With how realistic Belos is and how he actually acts like people that have existed and still exist, he is easily the most terrifying in my opinion.

The Core should’ve been built up a bit more. Like aside from it taking over Marcy’s body and it’s effect on Andreas I didn’t have much investment in it as a Villian. Belos works so well because of his hero complex and his effect as a manipulator. How broke Luz and made her question her own purpose and resent her own existence. He mentally broke her. And the fact that he managed to trick the people of the boiling isle into committing a genocide against themselves. And Bill Cypher works so well as an underlying threat. He’s always watching. He feels like a lovecraftian threat. A being whose mere presence is mystery and uncertainty. He’s Madness and chaos in its purest form. But he’s also the devil on your shoulder offering up your wildest dreams for his own benefit. That’s in my mind what makes him the best of the three. Belos at the end of the day is the worst of humanity. Bill Cypher is the worst of existence.

One thing that isn't really pointed out a lot is how before these villains are introduced, the show already had a 'main' villain, (Lil Gideon, Captain Grime and Lillith) but once the true threat shows up (Bill Cipher, The Core and Belos), they join the heroes and become more heroic and this trend has been happening a lot in animated shows recently, Adventure Time (The Ice King gets replaced by the Lich) Steven Universe (Jasper and Peridot get replaced by The Diamonds) Star vs the Forces of Evil (Ludo gets replaced by Toffee, ok this one might be an exception) and Hilda (Erik Ahlberg gets replaced by the Mountain King) I'm sure theirs more examples, those are the ones I can immediately think off.

It depends on what trait of villainy you love the most. If comedic chaos, then Bill. If invading force, then the core. If charismatic evil, then Belos. What’s your favourite?

Bill Cipher is the most entertaining main villain out all of three IMO.

Bill was much more dangerous, but Belos offered the better narrative, this was a human, that got his hands on power, and grew it into the greatest power of his reality (i have not seen any hints of gravity falls connecting to the owl house/amphibia earth), his goal was not super immense by comparison, but despite having all the power he also never really needed it. everything he achieved was through deceit, coercion or charm, getting his own hands dirty was always just the last resort, if he hadn't tossed Kikimora, of all beings, there wouldn't actually have been any stopping him, not before it would be too late anyways.

Personally I think Bill is the best villain, his setup is the most well written and intriguing and his defeat is the most cleverly written and satisfying of the three, also Bill himself probably has the most personality out of the three and is generally the most entertaining to watch.

For me Belos is the best because while Bill is an outright god, and the Core has an army, Belos is the only villain who started out as a simple person, but he schemed and connived his way into power. He used terrorism and fear mongering to make himself emperor so he could later kill everyone.

While Bill Cipher is the utmost classic Modern Disney Villain, who has definitely earned his Spot as one of the best villains in animation. The buildup, his entertaining chaotic character and near Villain Victory made him very memorable to me. While Darcy/The Core was the most thematic villain and the antithesis of Amphibia’s central theme of change plus one of the best Villain designs that I’ve seen in a Long Time. But yeah as cool as it looks due to lack of screentime and lack of buildup or presence in the series makes him the least memorable villain. But Belos was certainly the most charismatic villain/character with depth and quite the interesting origin that’s in a way kinda tragic but at the end he’s an unsympathetic monster. I’d go so far to Say Belos is probably Modern Disney’s greatest villain on par with Judge Claude Frollo, and Death the Wolf from Puss in Boots Last Wish. But the Core and Belos BOTH managed to Kill the protagonist/heroine in their respective worlds (before both were resurrected by their worlds Gods, or Prophecies plot armor.

I like to add, his brother was able to change. . . And I won't be surprised if he had many, MANY chances to change for the better. . . But once he killed his brother... it tells us that he isn't going to change With the clones either being similar or close to his brother and still killed then without mercy or nothing, tells us as well that he ENJOYS doing it The collector even talked about it. . . Not only he's human, but also had so many ways to go back . . . And just... doesn't, and soon we knows what happens next His death wasn't big or anything, and honestly he doesn't deserve that... making his death SOOOO satisfying

As memorable as Bill is, i have to give this one to The Evil Emperor Belos! He's just so damn Awesome! With his charisma, grand schemes and manipulation (not to mention mysterious background) he really gives us the chills. He's the exact type of villain that modern Disney needs, especially how in their recent feature films they're barely pure evil these days.

Out of all three, I found Belos the best villain because of how different he is compared to Bill and the Core. With the Core, you know a shred of Marcy is shining through in terms of personality when as Darcy. With Bill, he balances himself with god level threats and getting a kick at seeing the shocked expression on your face. But with Belos? It's like Darth Vader walking into the room. A sense of dread runs down your spine, an ice cold look coming from the mask he peers in when staring at you. It's like you're in a realm where a real demon is coming for you if you get in his way. Furthermore, the fact that he's so realistic as a human and an emperor makes him all the more terrifying as he represents how strong a man's beliefs can be and how it can bring about their demise as well as drive them to the point where they themselves become the very thing they believe they aren't.

The Core was definitely hurt by a lack of screentime, but to me, I also think it was hurt by two other things: it was a bit too funny as Darcy, and it was introduced to Anne & Sasha much too late in the season. While funny moments don't necessarily hurt villains, (case in point: Big Jack Horner from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish) they can if they undermine the intention of also being sinister and a legitimate threat to the heroes in those same interactions, at least if they were intended to be in the first place. Take Bill Cipher: he is indeed funny, but in more of a "[nervous laughter]" kind of way, like someone who thinks doing random acts of violence is akin to an improv comedy routine (case in point: deer teeth & have a screaming head), creating an air of dread as we understand he does not have the same sense of morality as humans, adding onto his Lovecraftian vibe. For the Core/Darcy, on the other hand, when it is funny it's more of "Marcy quirkiness but antagonistic," which doesn't produce the same reaction of "funny but also pretty messed up" that Bill had, reducing the impact of the Core's actually intimidating moments as a self-proclaimed deity with multiversal conquest ambitions, which admittedly make great use of Haley Tju's acting in producing a Marcy that was notably too cold, serious, and often maniacal to be that person. I feel like it could have worked if they had made it so that those quirks were more creepy and aligned with that detached & calculating side of Darcy, like they were a result of Marcy trying to break through in a way, causing the audience to question whether they should find this funny or deeply disturbing in an "I have no mouth and I must scream" sort of way, which would fit nicely with the scifi horror vibe the Core has going for it. In sum, the Core wavers a tad too much between "Marcy but malicious" funny moments and "your friend's not here right now" scary moments to be an effective villain at times for me. Second, the Core met Anne & Sasha in the episode right before All In. In my opinion, this happens much too late in the narrative of the show, and takes away from the impact that could've come from having Sasha & Anne realize that their friend is the host for a god-like being, which could have prompted deeper reflection by having the Core use this revelation to torment the girls, possibly claiming that Marcy was better as an assimilated mind compared to how Anne & Sasha treated her. There was great story potential that could've been gained from such an interaction & its effects, as well as showing that the Core is not just waiting around for the invasion to start, but actively makes itself an obstacle for the heroes, but unfortunately we didn't get that. I love the finale of Amphibia (how often is it that we get this kind of series finale from animated shows nowadays, rather than simply being canceled?), but this could've given the fight with the Core in "All In" a greater impact imo. Anyhow, that's my two cents. Also, it's amazing that Bill Cipher is going to be ten years old soon (Dreamscaperers, when he first debuted, came out July 12, 2013) and he's held up as arguably one of the most iconic Disney villains of the 2010s.

I think I haven’t encountered more unique villain that Bill really. He is unsatisfied with existence itself and the rules it follows, so what does he do - HE WANTS TO DESTROY IT, to reshape it into pure nonsense. He fist destroys his own dimension and as a being of another one, his powers in the third dimension allows him to do exactly that. I mean think about it, what is the first thing that Bill do when he arrives after trying for thousands of years- party, he spends the next few days making a party, which doesn’t make any sense until you realise that the whole reason why he does all of this is simply to be happy. The desire to not exist is something that everyone experience at some point in their life, but while for some people it last only seconds, for Bill it has lasted his entire life and he doesn’t want himself to not exist, he wants EXISTENCE AS A WHOLE to not exist which is a pretty interesting and unique motive. Also the fact that he has god like powers allows him to switch between hilarious and terrifying in a blink of an eye. And correct me if I’m wrong, but to be able to manipulate mater, reality and time gotta be the most OP power in all of fiction

Belos may be more immediately hateable than Bill, But Bill is much more unique, memorable, and entertaining to watch. He's also much more powerful and much scarier, plus, he's actually just as irredeemable and despicable as Belos. You just have to look at the show's expanded universe to see. It reveals some truly horrific things about Bill. I'd argue that he's the better villain.

you also forgot to add the fact that each finale has a floating structure

As a final boss Bill is definitely the best. But, in terms of being a villain My ranking goes 1) Emperor Belos/Phillip Wittebane 2) Bill Cipher 3) The Core

While I love the Owl House and Amphibia, I remain a bigger Gravity Falls fan. So, that said -- I think you were right at the start of your video, saying that which villain you find "best" depends on the individual -- what you're looking for in a story, what resonates best with you. I agree with criticisms of the Core; it was formidable, but it didn't do that much for me, I guess? (Although, I found it kind of funny that you called it out for limited screentime, when Bill Cipher is only in 6 episodes of Gravity Falls, and several of those, he's only in a tiny bit of the eps. He really doesn't have that much screentime at all.) For Bill and Belos, though -- they were each the perfect villains for their series, and you very much get a different experience from watching them. Bill is huge, difficult to comprehend (in terms of his goals), chaotic, terrifying, and seemingly unstoppable because of how much power he has and how many tools he has in his arsenal (once he becomes corporeal). Belos is more scarily relatable -- both because he starts out as just a normal human guy, and because, as you said, his type of evil is very recognizable from our history and from our present. Both Bill's and Belos's defeats are very satisfying, but for different reasons. So, in conclusion, even though I'm still more devoted to GF, I can't disagree with you picking Belos! And, I do want to add one more thing about Belos versus Bill: the writing. Belos seems to have been meticulously planned from the beginning of the show. He has a deep back-story that is revealed over time, and the more we learn about him, the more disturbing he gets. (I would say that later-seasons Belos is MORE disturbing than first season, where he's just the masked Evil Emperor. He becomes more disturbing and scary once we know he's a human witch-hunter from the 1600s playing a long game out of essentially religious-fanatic motivations.) I think Dana Terrace and TOH's team did a phenomenal job on him. (Although, if you are more connected to TOH trivia, please do let me know if it's ever discussed that Belos wasn't originally meant to be the same as he turned out to be!) Meanwhile -- we now know that Bill, while included in the show from the start (as an image on the briefly-flashed end-card of the credits, and in various designs seen around the Shack), wasn't originally intended to be the Final Boss Villain, until they started work on Season 2. Once again, I think it's hard to say which is "better". But I do think it's fair to say that Belos benefitted from the longer-term planning. Whereas, I give the GF team a ton of credit for taking this character they'd established, but weren't sure how he would develop, and turning him into such a compelling villain.

I honestly think that Bill Cipher is the best final boss villain of the three. Belos aka Philip Whittebane definitely is a great villain due to the terrible deeds he did, including killing his own brother, how he continued to be stuck in his ways and was never open minded enough to consider that he was wrong, he stubbornly continued on his path even when he was on the brink of death, he killed or at least almost killed Luz, it took Luz until the final episode to actually defeat him, and he was so unlikable to everyone in the owl house cast that his death at the end was just so satisfying. The core is definitely a villain that needed more screen time, but it was the literal embodiment of the anthesis of Amphibia's theme of change. The core hosted Amphibia's greatest minds that refused to die and refused to change their way of life through conquering other worlds. The Core's most heinous act was taking over Marcy's body, and essentially making her the villain. Darcy definitely took the likable traits of Marcy, and twisted them into something evil. They even used psychological warfare to nearly defeat Sasha, who was redeeming herself. When the core was initially defeated, they tried to end all of Amphibia. Anne had to literally sacrifice her own life to finally defeat the core for good. The core worked as a villain because it represents what was wrong with Amphibia as a whole, but just needed more revelations on itself. Bill Cipher is the best because of how powerful he is, how he was a bigger threat, how he is admittedly insane, how much he's tied into his respective series, and how the characters of Gravity Falls really had to overcome their issues to defeat him (which is true for owl house and Amphibia too, but I think it was more profound in gravity falls).

Yeah I think what makes Belos so terrifying is that like you said he's down to earth he was once human he's proof of just how wicked a human can become kinda similar to the Joker in that way.

Bill was the most chaotically fun, like a classic Disney villain, while Belos was more chilling and well written. The Core should’ve had more going on, that thing was introduced halfway through the last season

While Bill is still my favourite due to his chaotic nature and nostalgia, I think Belos is the best villain of the three overall thanks to how he is written and executed in the show.

Bill was so strong that he was able to change the opening gravity fall. which villain is capable of that

I love how the thumbnail is just "a supernatural being, a literal demon god of pure energy, and a repbulican"

In my opinion, worst to best, it's Belos, The Core, Bill Belos was very evil, manipulting an entire civilization for hundreds of years, killing people, killing his own brother, and then killing said brother's clone countless times. He is also strong, and could beat Luz and her friends in monster form. He also provided a light challenge for Luz with titan powers, which while still only a small challenge, still shows how strong he is. However, he was trying to do something he though was good, so he unfortunately isn't higher. The Core was also evil, manipulating Andrias and possibly other rulers as well. Unlike Belos, The Core knew it was in the wrong and still did it, a real villain. It was also prepared to stab Anne in the chest for her power, and destroy Amphibia just so it could win. However, without it's moon-self, it is a pretty weak bad guy, being defeated by a weakened Sasha who wasn't even in her stone-powered mode. Anyone with advanced fighting skills could take it down, and it needs a host for even this. Finally, Bill is first because he is truly twisted. Like The Core, he knows he is evil, and enjoys it. Shuffling a mans face, making a throne out of petrified people, mocking Dipper's dad, being prepared to kill the twins, and manipulating a large number of people. He is also an extremely powerful being, capable of destroying universes, or at the very least l, dimensions. What makes him better than The Core, though, is the reasoning behind his actions, which are none. He does what he does simply for entertainment.

Its gotta be the OG, the one who started it all, Bill Cipher, he is really the only one who made me scared for the protaginists.

1. Belos 2. Bill 3. Core trust me bill and belos were very very close i just think belos' backstory is so horrifying and interestingly presented in the story so he wins

Belos may be the most fascinating portrayal of a manipulator I've seen in fiction. He convinced Luz, a classic bubbly overly helpful hero, that she wasn't a good person, and was in fact, as bad as him. He raised Hunter and countless other grimwalkers to only value themselves according to their usefulness. He indoctrinated an entire culture to be fearful of their own natural abilities and traditions. He attempted genocide to justify his own prejudices and to convince himself him murdering his brother was justified. For a brief period, he even convinced the audience that he was nothing more than a tired, homesick man. Bill Cipher is immensely entertaining to watch. But Belos is the one who sticks in my head and makes me consider what it really means to be a villain.

Belos is a great villain, but Bill takes the cake as the best villain.

I hadn't seen the relation of the core and the majora, even with the other two. Majora is an entity who posses a kid, wants to destroy the world crushing the moon but it's defeat by a hero from another land.

I think Bill is probably my favourite, I haven't rlly watched Amphibia, and Belos, well, the fact he died after getting squished on and King said "Ew! It's on my claws", just makes him not as appealing to me as Bill. Bill is by far Disney's strongest character, to date, and also one of the best. Bill is extremely powerful, to such an extent that Time Baby had to come and stop him, yet were erased in a matter of 40 seconds, most of which is them just talking. The thing stopping Bill is what makes Bill such a great character. A dream demon who enters the mind and dreams of characters, using their dreams to project his infinite power and show his capability of usage, which is something overlooked by most people. Bill doesn't exist in the real world, until Weirdmageddon, and when he does get real he just makes it clear he's not taking no nonsense. He turns the valley of Gravity Falls to his playground in the matter of 3 minutes, or a good 45 seconds if you don't consider talking time. Bill is impatient, and he will do whatever it takes to be free from any confinement. That's why he wants a world of weird, to exist outside of the Nightmare Realm, and to escape Gravity falls, he has no patience and he can't understand why anyone would wait for a result. I do feel like Bill has the greatest motive out of these three, the Core just wants to be evil for, well, I don't even know since I didn't watch Amphibia. Belos just wants to end all witches and takes extreme measures that he's carried on. But Bill has the motive of his personality itself, rather than past events. He gets extremely angry after he discovers Gravity Fall's natural border of.. Weirdness Magnetism... Thank you Stanford Pines for the, uh, *weird* name. Bill wants global domination, of course, as all villains, but he wants that because he hates confinement and wants to make his likely infinite legacy, well, infinite. That's why he was so insistent on the 3D World to let him in, and had to trick people in order to do it. Bill wants to be free to enact world domination, and in order to achieve this he does the most brutal things in Weirdmageddon 3, with the dialogue "I've got some children I need to make into *Corpses*. "When I get my hands on you kids. I'm gonna dissasemble your molecules!" No other villain has as good dialogue as Bill, "Remember, reality is an illusion; the universe is a hologram. Buy gold, bye!". He's a very unique villain, and he'll do whatever it takes, including doing things Disney shouldn't accept, by, well you saw what happened to the Northwests. But Bill also decimated the Time Police.

No bill he wanted to destroy the entire multiverse all because he was bored

I would say belos because out of the three he is the most realistic one and I think realistic villains are the scariest type of villain.

Great video!

Bro it’s bill he was the first best villain ever on the Disney!!!

Its funny how Belos is used as a strawman for the right when he is incredably progressive considering the time he is from. He only really hates witches and magic but he doesent seem to hold any other bigoted views. Anything else falls under his lack of care for others.

I haven't gotten far enough in TOH to have an opinion on Philip. Bill is easily more iconic and threatening than The Core, however I can congratulate The Core on pulling off the best possession trope IMO. It felt a lot more fleshed out than the other two and affected the protagonists more deeply due to how manipulative and capable Darcy was, whereas Bipper was essentially a downgrade in both power and intelligence

The only thing that could be kind of fun with Belos would be when the collector shows up and takes care of him. But that’s more about the collector

Everyone does have their own opinions but for me, as much as I do love Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls and he does have the most memorable quotes. Heck, I would even go as far and say that he is the most quotable Disney villain ever! I would have to say Belos from The Owl House for a number of reasons. 1. He is actually a witch Hunter from the 1600s named Phillip Wittabane, which makes sense in a show about witches and very unique. 2. He is a such a threatening and menacing presence ever since he made his debut in Agony of a Witch. 3. His backstory is such an excellent one. 4. He would not hesitate to do harm to those that are in his ways and either physically or mentally break them. 5. He killed his own brother and cloned him and that clone and did again and again and again. 6. He is the main villain throughout the whole series and the Collector didn’t become the main antagonist and instead made the latter more of a tragic character. 7. He gets a very gruesome death.

One of my favorite things about Bill is how many warnings about Bill we are given. Bill just seems goofy at first, but as you look deeper into the warnings you see his true nature. He is not what he seems. He deceives you.

The ting I like about Belos is that if your in a room with the Core or Bill, they will probably just kill you in a few seconds. But Belos tends to give an intimidating vibe and make you scared even when he is not attacking you. I also like his backstory and his reasoning because we know why he did all of this. For the Core we only know someone created this crazy gang on a computer planning to destroy other worlds. For Bill, we just know that he destroyed his old dimension and plans on destroying all the other galaxies. But for Belos, we know he used to be a human and wants to destroy the boiling isles because the witches there were mean to him. This is why I believe Belos is the best villain of these 3. Note: This is just an opinion, so you don't have to agree with me.

“We’re Not Scared of You!” “Oh But You Should Be.”

They also like possessing kids just for the heck of it

Belos is a phenomenal antagonist. Every other antagonist in the series is effected in one way or another by his actions both direct and indirect. His presence is felt throughout the series and in the season 1 finale he is very intimidating with the scene of the titans heart beating faster. With the core I don’t really get that we only really see them in the first temple. Andrias felt more like a proper antagonist and that really should’ve been what the series antagonist. In season 2 of the owl house we see belos slowly spread his influence across bonesburough before it comes to a head in hollow mind when eda isn’t able to repair luz’s cloak.

Bill helps create the pyramids because he came to earth in the earliest days and plus he is the design of a pyramid with a tophat

The thing I don’t really see much people talking about is how the villains counter with the story in it of itself. Bill and bells really show the true core of how the show is. Like how bill had a huge mystery element as in his history in it of itself is a mystery the one eye’d triangle represents the Illuminati and all that stuff. And Belos is a deep rooted character who is very serious. These characters both show aspects of the show that they are from. Toh being a very somewhat serious show and gravity falls having a huge mystery element which may or may not have been left purposely left out for fans to theorize.

I found that those 3 have an irregular amount of eyes

You know this seems pretty accurate honestly Dana even mention that even without the shortening of the show she never was going to make the collector the main villian of the show and it was always going to be philip and I got to say they did him correctly he is menacing, never jokes around, also looks toward his own goal and manipulated an entire realm into thinking he was a messenger to the Titan, I know the Core did that as well but at least they kept their loyal memebers safe in their hive mind while Belos has corpses onto of corpses of Caleb's/Hunter's

Bill, bill, Bill, Bill, Bill cipher the triangle guy!

bill wins the core a planetary god vs another planetary threat vs hyperversal when the barrier is broken

No one is as beautiful as Bill

The final boss for the core was a bit anti-climatic, imo. My favorite is Bill Cipher. 8:27: That's fair.

I honestly think it was Bill but in second place would be Belos

You mentioning not having seen DuckTales and Star Vs had me thinking of other shows I'd reccomend. A lot of people tend to sleep on 2 of my favorite shows, simply because they aired on Disney Jr, Sofia the First and Elena of Avalor. They're very much like MLP:FIM, in that while they are made for younger audiences, they're still written in ways anyone can enjoy regardless of age or gender. There's also tons of interesting villains too, like Cedric, Ash, and let's not forget that Shuriki kills Elena's parents and tries to kill many others on screen. There's lots of interesting lore, the music is super good, and they even touch on things you don't see a lot in media like the difficulties of being a step family, elitism, and insecurity. And the character growth of character like Amber and Cedric is *chef's kiss.*

I have to say bill is the best villain and ready to show what he got! ❤😁

Id say Bill Cypher or Belos/Phillip Whittebane

Personally, Bill.

For me it depends on what kind of villain I'm looking for. I consider Bill and Belos equally effective, but for completely different reasons. Both are powerful and utilize deceit to make their way to power. Both are incredibly threatening but, again, for different reasons. Bill has insane reality-bending powers and is essentially an insane trickster god. Belos, alternatively, does not have godlike abilities but the way he oppresses and slowly corrupts is just horrifying. There's also the extreme shift in personality; Bill loves to laugh maniacally and give sassy one-liners. Belos is more subdued and eerie, perceptive and terrifyingly patient. It's chaotic "deals with the devil" vs manipulation tactics that wear on you. There's also the fact that Bill is very much tied to fiction as there's no fear of running into him in the real world, so you can sit back and enjoy his shenanigans despite it being terrible. Belos, however, is a haunting reminder of the villains throughout our actual history, making his every action cause your skin to crawl. Basically, if I want genuine (albeit graphic) fun and iconic scenes to go back to, Bill is my favorite. But if I want darker themes with complex undertones to analyze, Belos is my favorite. As for The Core, I'll admit I haven't really watched Amphibia, so I can't say much on that.

if this video does get updated, I wouldn't include Star vs The Forces of Evil because the guy who you'd think would make a good final boss dies in the 3rd season and the boss at the end of s4 is by far the least intimidating and least threatening final boss of all Disney shows. Imo, at least, it would make for a waste of effort to update it with that show

Belos is definitely my pick!

I like all of them, but the Core at the end was really weak because we only really see Andrias’s father in it, so we don’t get a good feel on who else is in the hive mind. And even if it was just Aldrich, the helmet never speaks on its own, so once it’s off of Marcy, the intimidation factor is lost.

Bill cipher will never be beaten ever

bills the funnier one but belos is better as a character and maybe even a threat

I'd give anything for an Owl House-Amphibia-Gravity Falls crossover sequel series. What would you want to see in one?

Bill is probably the best character. He's fun and has a lot of dark sinister moments and is a character I haven't seen done right in any other show but as the best villain, Belos. Bill is great and incredibly menacing but Belos having a much more active role in the plot and more personal connections to the main cast make him a greater antagonist. Core is also there but let's not pretend their on the same level as these 2

BILL NYE THE SCIENCE EYE

I think Bill is the best one, for he's the scariest, most charismatic and powerful of the three.

Is that music I'm hearing in the background what I think it is~

It’s bill and it’s not even close tbh

I understand a lot of tropes you use like how the core was a bit underused and how bill is very mysterious but although I really like belos,bill cipher just clicked on me, I love the chaos he desires and how much of a threat he poses although he and all the other villians really lose to plot armor but one problem I have with belos is how much of a joke he seems like compared to the collector because the collector makes him look week and that was a nitpick I had while you can already tell how insanely powerful bill is and how superior he is compared to the gravity falls citizens and how he one shot time baby so the stakes seems really high for gravity falls against bill cipher compared to belos vs luz

What I liked about the core is how slow its build up was. Because by the first temple we knew andrias was evil and thought he was thefinal villian. Than he called this giant eye thing his lord which sparked a wave of theories. Oh plus we didn’t even know its name. We decoded a prophecy in a book from the shows made up language to see blah blah blah to expell the night. So we named this thing the night until we had a proper name. The build up was so hype but its worse on rewatch

for me, a good villain will always be the one who can give the biggest amount of trauma to the protagonists, so belos is an easy pick for me 1 - traumatized luz by almost making sure she wouldn't be able to go home (i know it was her who destroyed the door, but she only did because belos had it) 2 - traumatized hunter by simply making him at a basement, and also killed every other version of him that he had made, quick mention about the scene where belos says to hunter that he only wanted to help him, while half of hunter's body is covered in the draining spell, and also, flapjack 3 - traumatized willow, gus, amity and hunter by almost destroying the one place that they spent months trying to get back to 4 - traumatized all of the boiling isles by almost killing everyone 5 - traumatized eda by almost turning her into a statue (if this happened it would probably traumatize luz, king, lillith and raine) i honestly think this guy would be able to traumatize hooty if he had a chance

Obviously bill

BILL

Just finished binge watching amphibia and getting ready to binge watch the owl house, and first best three days of my life, and second I should've watch these shows while it was airing. But its a good thing I started now, better late than never. But I only have one question, should I make a video talking about these two shows completely.

Belos being defeated by the Collector in the end of season 2 was terrifying combined with the music and all

Ducktales is actually a really great show, and I recommend you watch it!

2:21 Technically, Bill was never defeated. He was only forgotten in Stanley’s memories.

Omg this video was the best villain theory ever cuz most videos they say that they like the strongest cuz is the most existed part of the show or what ever but most people I met that know about things like gravity falls or owl house they say that they like bill more cuz he is strong and powerful but I think belous is unique but in a good way cuz it gives owl house that kind of dark vibe that the show is going to be scary and when we get to know belous back story oh boy I have no words cuz it’s really really dark back story and that’s all I have to say hope u like my script bye ✌️

Theme song of buckbales the pills every day.Were there making doctors who

Bill:your world's a fantasy 👁

7:10 Ok why does the background music sound like rodan's theme in kotm?

Bill is the best by far he destroyed the 2nd dimension with his own sheer power he nearly destroyed Gravity falls and everyone in it he does everything like a game or a joke he invaded and nearly destroyed Stanley's mind and he possessed a child.

Honestly, the Core was lackluster and kinda stupid, at least Belos and Bill had a established goal instead of just "conquer, if that fails destroy Amphibia"

The OG Bill

It would be amazing if Belos stuck onto kings foot, his inside his body until he became a giant titan, then took control of him

Bill is best

bro this isn't even a competition...

I believe bill cipher is a better villain but belos is a better character

Gravity Falls was great and Bill Cipher was very memorable. "Dreamscaperers" first aired July 12, 2013. That's nearly 10 years ago!! The fact that we still remember Gravity Falls after 10 years is testament to how good the show was. I think a lot of people tie their emotions and feelings for a chararcter to the show itself and when asked which is the best villain, may as well be asked ""Which is the best series?" That's where I think a show like "The Owl House" falls down. As a result of its unfair cancellation, the entire final series was reduced to 3 episodes, which (in my opinion) soured the finale. I personally think that the final episode of "The Owl House" was disappointing. It had too much to wrap up in 45 minutes and was derivative of other series. Luz dying and being resurrected was almost identical to Anne's death and resurrection. The only difference was that Luz got a powerup after resurrecting. Belos was a good villain, but I think Bill was better. He set the groundwork for all future villains to come. Don't forget, both Matt Braly and Dana Terrace had previously worked on Gravity Falls and both series were heavily inspired by it. Bill was the OG Villain that everyone still remembers. Trust me, no one remembers the villain of "Star vs. the Forces of Evil" for very good reasons!

I love how they made people think bill was a one of and then next time we see him he possesses dipper

Bill had the best climax, but belos had the best build up

I still believe personally that bill cypher was the best villain. (I also haven't seen the other two shows and am basing my reasoning off of the facts stated in this video). The reason I think bill cypher is the best villain is because he doesn't really have a good reason, nor a general goal. While the other two villains are trying to accomplish something, bill cypher simply wants to have fun. He doesn't want power, nor does he want order and control. He want chaos and destruction. This is what makes him, in my opinion, the most terrifying and menacing option. With the other two options, they seem to have a limit. Once they accomplish their goals, they can stop with their reign of terror. Bill cypher on the other hand, never cared in the first place, and willing to do almost any, horrible, putrid, heignous act just to have fun. On top of this, he's virtually a god, as stated in the video. This makes him even more terrifying to me. With the other two, it was known what they could do to stop him, or the fact that they could be stopped at all. But with bill cypher, he is unbeatable. It adds to this level of dread you feel when faced with this indescribably powerful being, on top of knowing he doesn't give a shit about what he does as long as he's enjoying himself. Think back to when they were forming the circle in gravity falls to finally kill him. You feel this sense of pure horror and fear once you realize that the one chance you had, the one weakness that you could use, was ultimately useless. Put yourself the characters positions. Now, knowing you failed, this cosmic being stands before you, laughing at your failure. This giant, godly, pyramid triangle demon has won. It stares you in your eyes, as it tells you all the horrible things its going to do to your world, all the things its gonna do to you. Your friends have already been laid down, trapped in posters with faces of horror. In that moment, you'd be thinking, It's over for me. Theres simply nothing you can do to win. tldr, bill in my opinion was an unstoppable force of evil who was willing to kill, torture, destroy entire planets, and probably many other things for his own enjoyment. In my opinion, bill easily wins best villian

Bill

Bills the only scary one just because how hard he is the defeat and the doubt

Bill because he might come back and if you don’t believe me watch his defeat in reverse

(Quick heads-up, for some reason my short paragraph turned into a whole essay so if you want to read this you can, and if you disagree, please tell me so that I could understand other points of view or so that I can improve on my own perspective on writing (I want to be a writer on a show one day so please tell me if I don’t understand some points in writing when it comes to shows and such and forgive me if some of the things I wrote are incorrect, I haven’t watched Amphibia nor Gravity Falls in a long time so I may have forgotten some stuff. Have a nice day 😊) I personally like Bill the most because he is not only chaotic in the best way I would ever want a character to be and his humor is what inspired most of my own humor, but he possesses something that I feel like both Belos and the Core (ESPECIALLY THE CORE) lack: A direct reason for the main protagonists to be the one who defeat them. Before you say, ‘Oh! BuT hUnTeR aNd MaRcY wErE bOtH pOsSeSeD bY tHeM’, what I mean by main protagonists are the specific protagonists that helped defeat the antagonist, which in The Owl House was Luz, Eda, King, and Raine, characters whose only motivation to beating him is in order to save the Boiling Isles, and in Amphibia it was Anne, Sasha, and Marcy, who again, only motivation to beating it was to save Amphibia. These characters do not have any personal relationships with the antagonist and only fight them in order to save the people they love, which my neurodivergent brain doesn’t see as enough to explain why those specific characters beat the antagonists. Why didn’t Hunter or Caleb, Evelyn, and the past Golden Guard’s ghosts at least help defeat Belos!? They were actually directly hurt by that man and had reasons to finish him off unlike the others who saw themselves as the only overpowered people left who could defeat Belos and only needed to in order to save others’ lives and that’s it (Don’t get me wrong, I loved the finale and Belo’s ending, but they could have at least gave Luz another reason to finish him off besides Belos being a Hitler). Same with Amphibia, not a single person who was born in Amphibia helped defeat the Core, but NOOOO it was the 3 overpowered humans who didn’t even know about the Core since the day before (technically, even the Amphibians didn’t know, but still, why weren’t they given a chance to show their worth (*again, when writing a protagonist, give them reasons to defeat the antagonist that aren’t just ‘to stop them committing genocide and killing the people I love!’, or at least establish a connection between them that makes it make sense on why that specific person has to kill them.*)) Gravity Falls did this correctly, with establishing that Stanford was previously friends with Bill. Heck, Stanford was who allowed Bill to get closer to being able to escape into the 3rd dimension, and Mabel was the one who gave him the last step to completing that plan! Bill has had direct interactions with the Pines family in the past (with Dipper containing the book that contains secrets that could be used to defeat Bill and Stanford writing that same book and 2 others) and gave them reasons to not trust him without even knowing his full intentions. Remember, the main protagonists are just Dipper and Mabel, but they also include Stan and Stanford. Actually, most of the freaking town can count as protagonists because they had to do with the original plan (the weird glyph circle plan) of beating Bill Cipher! Even though these protagonists (past weird forest creatures that the twins encountered and their town friends) wanted to kill Bill (haha SZA reference) because he was committing genocide to people and reality itself, at least the main protagonists (Pines family) already had prior connections to Bill and they along with some of the other protagonists (Wendy, Soos, Robbie, McGucket, Gideon, etc.) were prophesied to defeat Bill with the original plan, which gives those specific characters a reason as to why they in particular are the ones doing the saving, not the other characters. Then, when the plan backfires, due to the Pines family having those significant prior connections with Bill and therefore having a reason for him to see them as the particular threat, he saves them for last of all the people he wants to kill off, which gives the Stan and his brother the chance to devise a plan (which Stanford knew would work because he KNOWS BILL) that would end Bill’s life in order to end all of the chaos that threatened the town and the world (and I might sound like a hypocrite for this but I really like how Stan, the Pines family member with the least amount of knowledge and connections to Bill, was the one to end him because it proves how the family was able to work together to defeat Bill and if without each other, they would not have won (unlike The Owl House and Amphibia where as long as Luz and Anne had their superpowers, they could defeats their big bads easily (I know that the others helped them, but come on Eda, King, and Raine were literally making sure that the moss didn’t infect Luz while she was trying to kill Belos and I haven’t seen the The Hardest Thing in a while so I forgot what happened but I’m pretty sure Anne just absorbed the superpowers of Marcy and Sasha to become a supreme-ultimate-being who single-handedly punched the Core out of existence.))) I know this sounds like I hate The Owl House’s and Amphibia’s finales, but I actually love them :) I just feel like Gravity Falls really gave the main and supporting protagonists really great roles in the defeat of Bill, which would not have been possible without all of them and it gave a really great reason as to why Dipper, Mabel, Stan, and Stanford saved the day in the end. So, yeah, the main reason I fangirl over Bill Cipher is his weirdness, but this writing thing is what makes me love him more than Belos and the Core (I actually really hate the Core as a villain but this comment is long enough as it is so I’m not going to go into that.) Edit: Re-reading this I also see that I just really like how the Pines family could defeat Bill because of his own arrogance and not because they were freakishly overpowered like Luz and Anne were.
