The Official GOAT List: Ranking the Greatest Cartoon Villains of All Time
Dive into the frenzied fray of the 'Greatest Cartoon Villains of All Time' on GoatWars, where die-hard fans clash over the diabolical genius of characters like the cunning Joker from 'Batman: The Animated Series' or the sinister Scar from 'The Lion King'. It's not just about who's the evilest; oh no, it's a detailed slugfest about their iconic evil laughs, the unforgettable betrayals, and their cultural impact that has us quoting them in entirely inappropriate situations. Did Scar's betrayal hit harder than Mr. Burns' greed? Does Maleficent’s flair outshine Joker's chaos? These debates get heated, with fans wielding absurdly specific criteria like a villain’s fashion sense or their choice in minions. It's a pop culture battle that turns otherwise reasonable people into fervent defenders of their favorite animated antagonists.
