Well Damien Thorn, like Freddy, Jason and Michael Myers cannot be labelled a Big Bads. Aside from a few non names will too little plot significance, they are the only real villain of their franchise. A Big Bad needs many villains to be compared to. One of the reason I locked the page was because I was fed up like you cannot believe of removing them for this reason.

I don't know about Koba, I must admit that I am not interested the slightest in the "Planet of the Apes" reboot.

Sarah Newlin cannot be labelled as a Big Bad, on a large scale she is merely a joke compared to the Arc Villains of each seasons. Stories divided by seasons of story arcs with one main villain for each, go against the concept of Big Bad. If there is one, then it is the villain with the biggest influence on the plot overall, or one who controlled from afar other arc villains. Hence why Frieza counts as Dragon Ball's Big Bad.

Basically, like every category, we must stick to the definition. I wrote the page's text and category definition myself trying to make is as broad as possible. Unfortunately FAR too many users never bother to read these definitions...
