I've got a few bad villains and one proposal proper that I'm disappointed of...

1. Josh (Megan Is Missing): Yeah, my first proposal, but with new views on torture porn as well as the fact that Megan is Missing was an absolutely terrible movie, I think I could have done a little better. Josh as a character really exists as nothing more than to hammer down a message in the most sickening ways possible.

2. Kesslee: Tank Girl was also an abominable movie. Kesslee wasn't a good villain, either; he was a bland, generic corporate executive who I can't remember in the slightest. Malcolm McDowell was okay in the role, I guess, but I find myself comparing Kesslee to Sir August DeWynter. The 1998 Avengers was a sloppy movie as well, but at least Sean Connery was a ton of fun as Wynter, especially given how it's essentially a former Bond playing a Bond villain. Kesslee had none of Wynter's charm or ham and ultimately only dragged down Tank Girl further.

3. Sedessa: Not much I can say about her except that she suffers from the same problems as Kesslee; she's bland, underdeveloped, and forgettable. She also has a hideous design.

And as for the proposal proper that I regret... the Iron-Masked Marauder. I think people accept Pokemon candidates way too easily, and I think part of the reason is that people generally see Pokemon as a "lighter" franchise. This is ignoring the existence of things like Cipher, Lavender Town, the fact that nearly every major villain from the fourth generation onwards has been an Omnicidal Maniac, and the fact that there are no less than eight characters listed as Monsters. Pokemon's not as light-hearted as people take it for.

I've long stopped seeing the Marauder as anything close to this trope - same deal with Dr. Yung. I admit I was extremely skepitcal that he'd be voted up at all, and it was more to prove something to a user on this wiki, but he was voted up without any pain and I think I basically just went from there. He's not someone I believe counts and I may or may not argue for his removal some time in the future.
