I swear they are making intentional mistakes to generate comments these days. They* blatantly spoiled the end of a movie for no reason the other day and their HotD S2E2 summary was so factually inaccurate as to approach parody.

Becoming a therapist? That’d work well for an alternate career for Jigsaw. At least then, he could harmlessly help people appreciate their lives.

That actually sounds like a premise for a Horror movie. These victims keep getting picked off, and it turns out the one thing they have in common is they all share the same therapist, who is trying to make them see a new lease on life, by putting them in a life or death situation.

Sometimes people just want to watch the world burn 🔥-having said that, many killers without a specific motive to why they kill isn’t bad at all especially when the film is executed well. To try to do character studies on what makes them tick is just as important and visceral. Try to look at them in a different perspective because many of them you’ll find an understanding of why they turned out the way they did. Even if it’s just insanity or born evil. Genetics, society, trauma, practically anything and everything could be a reason to why they do what they do. Depends through what eyes they’re seen from

There is no understandable reason for murdering someone

Johnny Depp’s character Sweeney Todd was a vengeful antihero. In the late 2000s, Mr. Deep earned a Golden Globe Award for his performance.

Judge Turpin didn’t take Todd’s wife, Lucy, for his own. He assaulted her at a party. Then she tried to commit suicide by drinking arsenic. When that didn’t work, she went insane and became a beggar woman.

I ❤ ‘Sleepaway Camp.’ It’s been over 40 years though. The fictional youth survivor of the boating accident who became a crazed, vengeful killer. All 9 people got brutally killed, including the toxic teenage girl named Judy; camp owner Mel; and the cheating boyfriend Paul.

I feel like Jason and Pamela could’ve been a combined entry. She kills due to grieving his death and he kills because he thinks the teens at Crystal Lake are the ones who killed his mother. They both have understandable motives.

I felt sorry for Pamela mainly. A mother’s love is deeper than any stab to anyone who harms her beloved child. I get a lot of caretaking love from my mom and I can relate to why Jason’s believed drowning made Pamela’s sanity snap.

@sadgirl7321

2 күн бұрын

Yeah, she’s grieving for her kid

You may paint them as victims but that doesn't excuse their actions. Every cannibal movie ever taught me that lesson

Angela Baker, formerly known as Peter Baker. Played by Felissa Rose. The traumatized survivor of the boating accident turned psychotic camp slashing murderer during the popular 1983 slasher movie.

I’ve said it so many times but I’m a firm believer that John Kramer is broken and not pure evil. He is self righteous and an asshole, but he was dealt a very hard hand in life. He had cancer, lost his unborn child, his wife left him, and he attempted suicide but survived. If you watch Saw X it’s very clear that he is actually a very human and sympathetic character, going as far as to risk dying so an innocent child wouldn’t. He also gets visibly upset when Cecilia kills Gabriela. People who disagree either haven’t seen all the movies or just didn’t look that much into his character.

For Pamela Voorhees, you played Part 7, which she is not in, and had a footer that said “Scream”, which was not the movie being played.

I would also recommend Jason Voorhees himself for being a drowned child, Norman Bates who was protective over his mom, leprechaun for protecting his pot of gold, Andre Toulon who's wife was killed in the puppet master franchise from Nazi's and Cujo the dog who got rabies.

None of the Friday the 13th footage showed had anything to do with Pamela Voorhees and isn't even from the original film.

Billy Loomis became one of my few favorite Ghostface killer characters in the franchise. His motive made more sense indeed, but we all know that killing few innocent people won’t solve anything, no matter how angry, traumatized, or crazy you are, plus infidelity is still one of the biggest issues in both real-life and fiction.

Top 10 Known Batman-Inspired Characters. Top 10 Smartest Cartoon Characters. Top 10 Smartest Anime Characters.

The horror villain I sympathize with most is Matt Cordell from the Maniac Cop franchise. A good cop whose methods are a bit excessive at times is unjustly imprisoned and later killed in prison by some of the inmates that he arrested. Rather than target the inmates, he frames police and painting them as untrustworthy. Then during the St. Patrick's Day parade in NYC, he decides to take his bloody vengeance out on those who wronged him. If you want to find out the fate of those inmates, watch the sequel.

Your videos are awesome

Victor Crowley and Jason Voorhees have a lot in common.

Billy from "Scream" had an understandable motive for going after Mrs. Prescott, but killing or trying to kill everyone else is not as understandable.

To be fair, all jason victims didnt even knew about him or had anything to do with his accident, so no i still dont understand his actions or defense, is still bad.

One villain, not from horror I support is the asteroid from Armageddon. It had no motive, but I do get behind the results it would have had

In Trick r Treat, Sam is supposed to be Samhain, the demon spirit of Halloween.

Wasn't expecting xenomorph queen in the list.

If Sleepaway Camp was ever remade I would want it to be the same just more gory it’s a great movie premise

I sympathised with jigsaw until he took on Amanda as his apprentice. When you drag somone else into your own values, you blur the line between revenge and just outright premeditation for murder, no matter how many ways you want to cut it...he murdered them by creating the means for their deaths and entrapment. Justification for the traps got less and less the more the series went on

and then Cecilia, the most evil one in the entire franchise ends up surviving the last movie. She was so horrible, she made the audience sympathetic to Jigsaw.

The best, and most sympathetic part, of the Candyman, IMO, is something you left out: His description of his killing spree as an obligation. "You are not content with the stories. So I was obliged to come." Granted, few people are forced to do something as horrific as confirm our existence through bloodshed. But we can all relate to having to do things we would much rather not. And were all of us in the Candyman's position, I would like to think we would all pray to God we are never obliged to confirm our existence in such a gruesome way too.

The Friday the 13th clips you used were from Fri. the 13th Part 7: The New Blood instead of the OG 1980 film also for when it said Scream (1996) in the same part. I'm guessing this was a mistake made in editing (I hope).

Meanwhile at the bates motel: Norman: bestie why aren’t we on the list? Hannibal Lecter: I mean you had Oedipus complex, and I had an auntie complex. Norman: that’s what I mean! Gage: what are you guys talking about? Norman: yep that’s it, you REALLY should have been on this list Annie Wilkes: Norman’s right, you had the saddest death in horror movie history and became a villain. Gage: that’s acceptable Damien: can we eat now? Norman: ok

Mrs. Voorhees definitely deserves a spot on here. Losing a child is unbearable. Her grief and anger drove her insane. Even though she went way too far attacking people who had nothing at all to do with it. Ignore the sequels and it's definitely sad. An innocent little boy dying due to neglect and his mom losing her mind because she couldn't handle it.

Also Scream 2 mrs loomis revenge motive.

Jason Voorhees too.

Yes the thumbnail explains everything.

My family members, me understand all the motives from the Horror movie villains and especially number one

Grand High Witch - "The Witches" (1990)

Many relatable villains. Victor Crawley,Xenomorph Queen,Alex Hammond,Jigsaw is pure psychopath. Completely disgusting. But we can understand him.Billy Loomis,Red and Thetered,Pamela Voorhees,Candyman(we can understand him too),Angela Baker(Peter) she is terrifying. Really. Relatable. But terrible and disgusting. The Monster is very sympathetic.Really tragic character. He wasn't evil. Great list

Having a “motivation” does not excuse you from killing a bunch of people, innocent or otherwise, villains!

So you don’t have Jason but you include his mother on the list but rather than use footage of her you only show footage of Jason from Part 7?

Interesting

Right when I saw the thumbnail for this video, it said it was posted 13 hours ago

Do we consider Pearl’s motivations valid?

Damn Carrie really isn't on the list!?

Some spoilers. Edited to add: he really should've become a therapist instead because that motive I would understand. We wouldn't exactly have a film franchise if his ways were 100% understandable, though. Jigsaw having his main motive of tormenting victims in order to make them "more grateful to be alive" doesn't completely hide his other motive. If it weren't for the variety of victims with their various shortcomings and occupations he'd be a serial killer targeting those with substance abuse issues considering what happened to his ex wife at the clinic. He still kills people. Not all of his traps are survived and that some of his disciples do his bidding in a way that ends up killing people intentionally even if it's for a "can't get caught" reason. I feel like that last bit undermines his main motive. I was disappointed, yet unsurprised with Amanda. Don't get me started on the others even when they did end the lives of those who had lived to make others suffer. Torture leads to trauma even when there's the whole "I survived and it's over now". Grateful isn't always the response one has to getting to live after seeing others around them die.

Candyman in top 3 lets go!!!!

The line between avenge and revenge is often blurred.

As someone once said: When we're children, we cheer for the heroes, but when we grow up, we start to identify with the villains.
