varego Gothi; Don't take it too far. Finn and the Ice King became legit friends and they don't treat him as a joke. Watch an episode like King's Ransom or just some of the Elements miniseries. Without capturing princesses (or women in general) he becomes a better person. In the episode "Don't Look" it's shown that he treats Ice King as Simon. The punchline thing in episodes was because even though he still has his backstory, he's insane. The show proves that miracles don't happen, like Simon regaining his memory. and oh yeah, Betty's also insane too with the loss of Simon so that crown might not work for the best. At least she has magic powers.

I was saying, "who's more sympathetic than Mr Freeze?" Then when Zuko came, I said, "Ahh." Having said that, I'm not sure who's more... sympathetic. Zuko or Azula? Azula became crazy, because literally no one showed any love for her. Despite her genius intellect and talent in both battle and tactics, her mother saw her as a monster, her father saw her as a tool, and her friends all turned on her. And let's not forget that she was raised by Ozai. And when she lost her fight against Zuko, she concluded that she as born just to be loathed by everything, and lost her sanity. Even Zuko and Katara only felt sad and pity for her after the battle. Just like Zuko, she too has the blood of Fire Avatar flowing through her, but unlike Zuko, she never had anyone (but she's desperately searching for genuine love). As a result (confirmed in the comics), she has two personalities -- manipulative Azula, and crazy Azula. And here are some detail that people may have missed. Azula says that everyone thought her a monster (she's absolutely convinced of that), but no one actually did, and no one can convince her otherwise. And she's so convinced that the whole world is full of lies that even a living lie detector (Toph) can't detect her lies. And she really really hates herself for being what she is, but doesn't know any other way (literally no option). And Ozai taught her that only power matters, so much so that Azula genuinely thought Winning is the best way to seduce boys (even in friendly sports). The list goes on, but let's stop there. Side note, she's the poster girl for "Limp and Livid" in TV tropes. Seriously, Ozai is the worst.

@henrybelman7424

Zuko is defentily more sympathetic, just by the simple fact that one of Azula's mental illness's was sociopathy, and she was a sadistic bully pretty early on. This is not to say that she isn't sympethetic, just less so, as her abuse was almost entirely emotional, some of it even coming from the fact that Ozai himself is severly ill and doesn't know how to love, which presumbly came from somewhere, where as Zuko got both physical and emontional abuse, with added abuse from Azula herself.

I agree but the reasons zuko is more sympathic is because he started off like really badly unlike azula he started off in a good way. Zuko had a positive character arc while azula had a negative character arc so what I mean is I felt bad for zuko is the beginning of the story because he was just a broken teenager I felt bad for azula in the end of the story because she went insane. You said zuko had his mother but she left You said he has mai well mai couldn't help him with what he needed so yeah he only had iroh. Azula had mai and ty Lee but because she was controlling them through feat they betrayed her. So yeah personally I felt sorry for zuko in the beginning of the story and I felt sorry for azula in the end story and that's the show 's purpose actually.

TheAverageGuyTAG Congratulations! It really takes extreme effort to be this ignorant. Did you even watch the show? It's true that the depth of her character wasn't shoved down the viewers' throats as was the case with Zuko. But if you're capable of actual observation and don't just swallow the things that are being served to you, you can see it's all there. How Ozai's toxic influence damaged her outlook on life and her relationships with her friends and brother. How Iroh, who had endless amounts of love, understanding and compassion for Zuko, but didn't have even the tiniest bit for Azula. He didn't even try to reach out to her. Instead, he simply pits Zuko against Azula (JUST LIKE Ozai does) and encourages Zuko to treat his sister as viciously and mercilessly as he possibly can. How Ursa's utter neglect of her, blatant favoritism of Zuko and lack of love left Azula believing that her own mother thinks she's a monster. How lack of genuine love, understanding, compassion and support from ANYONE in her life lead Azula to rely on fear to control people around her. Azula's life was ten times worse than Zuko's. It's true that Zuko didn't have his father's love (neither did Azula). But he always had genuine love, understanding and support from at least two people in his life. At first from his mother Ursa and later from his uncle Iroh. *Azula literally didn't receive that from ANYBODY in her ENTIRE life.*

Not sure if Varian from tangled the series was a villain when this video came out, but if this ever is redone he should DEFINITELY be on here. I mean, he was only 14 during his villain arc. And how he became evil was tragic. When we first meet him he is such a sweet, joyful character that you can’t help but love. Soon he begins to try to take action for something destroying his village but accidentally makes things worse, and his dad becomes trapped trying to save him. He then goes to seek help from Rapunzel who made a promise to make things better but was unable to help him. He returns home to find that it is now impossible to save his father, and he becomes angry that nobody helped him when he needed it the most. Obviously he did awful things but right below the surface was a terrified, heartbroken child.

So much nostalgia and memories in this video. And I agree with all the honorable mentions.

I EXPECTED PLANKTON TO BE #1 and doesn't zuko turn good

Plankton should've been on the list rather than an honorable mention. He used to be friends with Mr. Krabs until an argument broke them up. Since then, Mr. Krabs has been successful and Plankton can only hope that he'll one day steal the Krabby Patty formula to turn things around.

Suko still counts cause he was a good villain with the best motivation at first and he want back to villain again later in the end of book 2

Honestly I mostly sympathise for Harely and the Ice King As badly presented in Suicide Squad, Harely is in love with the Joker, who pretends to love her back just to use her for his own bidding, although Harely does find true love with Poisen Ivy, 1. they have had some break ups 2. Harely gets killed by a corrupt Ivy in trying to save her in a comic/comic series and 3. Harely still craivs the Joker's approval, who hates Ivy and is possibly a homophobe What a lovely world DC is

Good list. 👏👏👏

you could argue he was kind of a villian protagonist for awhile

Yes! You put Hex in the vid! I love Reboot, it was so much fun to watch!

Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony comes to mind. She fought, as Princess Luna, to rid Equestria of Discord, King Sombra and Tirek alongside her sister Princess Celestia, and then devoted herself to protecting ponies in the night, including fighting their bad dreams. Her thanks for this? Fear from the populace and being shunned because ponies associated night time with monsters. She gave her all to liberate and protect Equestria, and was feared for it while her sister was loved.

A spot-on list here, WatchMojo!

I think Jack Spicer of Xiaolin Showdown should've been here. It's stated he sided with the Heylin side because of his fear that he would fail at being good, just as he failed at being evil. His motivation for world-domination was to compensate for his own feelings of worthlessness. In other words he's just looking to be accepted.

Villains arent bad they'll only be when we treat them BADLY

I agree with your list and there's actually quite a lot of villains who I can sympathise with.

In Adventure Time, Ice King only posing as a villain in the first 2 seasons. After that they just treat him as an old grandpa with dementia.

And I just realized that the Toiletnator's name is Loo because toilets

When I saw the ADVENTURE TIME episode that showed the history of Ice King and Marceline ("I Remember You") I was literally moved to tears. It completely changed the story of the Ice King, turning him from a creepy lech into a tragic hero. I've loved the show ever since.

We did have Kuvira. I sympathized with her from the very first episode of Book 4. I actually believed that her terms were not unreasonable, and I was angry at the one scene where one of the governors tears up her terms, and tells her to get the fuck out. In times of peace, yes, Kuvira would have been considered evil. It was, however, a time of great instability and chaos. All she wanted was order in the Earth Kingdom, and for people to have the right to live without being robbed, murdered, or raped by bandits. Her strategy was this: if she saw a town with something she needed, be it food, materials, or just labour, she approaches the governor and says "Look, your people are suffering. Join me, you can keep your title of governor. Your people will be fed, my soldiers will protect you from bandits, and I will give you jobs. All you need to do is bow and call me Great Uniter. Bandits will just raid you eventually and steal everything. At least I'm giving you something in return. But, if you tell me no, well, I don't need to threaten you with consequences. I'll just pack up and leave you to the mercy of bandits. I can't afford to protect something I don't own." Maybe I'm a little fucked up, but I don't think that's unreasonable at all. Not to mention, the whole reason she did all this was because Korra had disappeared for three years while the Earth Kingdom was in chaos. By that extension, pretty much everything that happens in Book 4 is Korra's fault. If she had returned sooner, Korra could have taken over from Kuvira, as her duty is to bring balance to the world. Kuvira couldn't just stand by and do nothing. If someone else like Korra came along, she could have been convinced to stand down before the shit hit the fan. The more I think about it, the more I think Korra's PTSD was a convenient plot device to explain why she was gone for three years. It seems like Nickelodeon discovered that the villain was too sympathetic, so they forced the writers to write her into a situation where she commits an atrocity that nobody can ignore. Add in a tragic backstory where her parents abandoned her because reasons, and you have a very close contender for a Zuko-like villain in Legend of Korra.

I. Th. not really, they where all separated in everything except Korra, that's why it could have used a Zuko, a side story to give fans a look on the other side, it's actually common any many shows and makes them more interesting

If WatchMojo were to do another Top 10 Sympathetic Villains In Cartoons, I'd like it to include Dr. Doofenshmirtz, The Brain, Plankton, Jack Spicer, Lord Hater, Vegeta, & Team Rocket, and if possible, Sunset Shimmer Or Starlight Glimmer.

The Ice King arc is the sadist arc in cartoons. It was a hugely well done story in Adventure Time! It helps that it was right out of left field. It was not expected for a crazy, neurotic nearly unsympathetic character from his start. It was clear from the start that he just wanted to fit in. But such a sad arc for a very comedic character. It was epic.

awesome for zuko!

Why is Magento from the X men cartoons not on here, all he really want is world where Mutants rule. Which is something many of us would like to have, plus he survived the halocaust from WW2 so he deserves alot of sympathy

A top ten Synpathetic Anime Villains would be pretty hard work compared to American cartoons because in almost every anime they would have a people been straight up evil at first then became a good guy later on. Also for those who are still villains throughout the story there are those that are given depth, whatever it's a tragic backstory or a hidden softer side.

Well at least team rocket were honorable mentions but jessie james and meowth's back stories are really heartbreaking Jessie's mom being killed while on a team rocket mission and growing up poor she ate snow regularly, James was the complete opposite he grew up in a rich family that really only cared about him marrying jessibel in a pre-araged marriage and being lectured constantly about how to "act properly" james had enough and ran away met jessie and tried out pokemon tech that didn't end well for them after that they joined a bicycle gang got kick out and eventually they joined team rocket, meowth was just a ally cat living with a group of meowth led by a persian got kick out of there fell in love with a girl meowth she didn't feel the same way about him and told him if he were more human like she might change her mind man I feel for meowth he spent months leaning how to walk on two feet like a person and to speak human speech he succeed and that bitch called him a freak meowth and she could never love a freak Pokémon like him, and after all this time Giovanni can stand them and berates them for failures one by one he tried to replace them with Cassidy and butch witch failed you would think they could just walk out of the crime organization and live normal lives but they remain as members because James,Jessie and meowth just want to feel accepted and love by someone but in the end they have each other in my perfect ending for Pokémon I can see jessie and james getting married since there best friends we have seen they know what the other is going to do before the other does it but that my own fan fiction haha I love team rocket meowth that's right🙂❤ .

I was actually hoping that they’d join Ash and his friends at some point. If I were in the series I would’ve gave each one of them a big hug and told them “Its gonna be okay!” and maybe, just maybe, they might turn good.

Cool list, but I think I can one-up your top spot pretty easily, my dudes. Noximilien Coxen, or Noximilien l'Horloger _("Noximilien the Watchmaker" in French)_ from the cartoon 'Wakfu' is a man driven to madness by a device called the 'Eliacube' that he finds in a cave near his home. When he discovers that the cube can not only absorb but also transmit a new type of energy that can power his clockwork machines, he becomes cloistered, wiling away hours and even days in his workshop just tinkering. With enough exposure, he even starts to develop latent magical abilities that allow him to do things like teleport short distances. He becomes so entranced by the cube that his wife takes their children and leaves him to go live with his sister, but they soon die when the island where Nox's family went is swallowed up by rapidly rising ocean waters, an ongoing event in the series called "Ogrest's chaos". Cursing the name of his deity, the god of time Xelor _(yes, it's just 'Rolex' backwards; a common theme among the gods in the Wakfu universe),_ he attempts to use the Eliacube that brought all of this about to store up enough energy to travel back in time to save them by absorbing the life essence of the most powerful organisms on the planet-plant, animal and mythical being alike-in order to turn back the clock to before the waters rose, before his wife left him, and perhaps before he ever found the Eliacube in the first place. After all, to put it in his own words partway through the series: _"If I succeed, none of this will ever have happened; if I fail, no one will be alive to remember what I've done"..._ ► *SPOILERS HENCEFORTH* ◄ ...throughout the entirety of the 26 episodes that make up the show's first season, he spends his every waking moment collecting the life energy _(the titular 'wakfu')_ of ancient beings like forest guardians and powerful dragons, and nearly even drives an entire race of people to extinction, mercilessly killing anything or anyone that gets in his way... _and all he gets out of literal centuries of planning and effort... _*_is a twenty-minute rewind._* When he finds out that he wouldn't have enough energy to go back in time even after committing mass genocide _(which is actually reversed when he goes back in time),_ his hundreds of years finally catch up to him, and he fades away into dust after shedding a single tear in memory of his family. Even for his atrocious crimes, the heroes put up a small memorial to the villain of the first season, as can be seen in the credits of the last episode. He just wanted his family back. _"My children called me 'daddy'... my wife called me 'Milien'._ _From this instant, the world will learn to call me..._ ＮＯＸ."
