@ you dont think psychopaths who just want power exist and are realistic? He was a wealthy psychopath who got corrupted by the darkside that's his story plain and simple
We do know why Palpatine does what he does. He wants power and control over others because he knows that he is capable of doing it, that means in his mind that it is his right to do so. He uses the dark sode of the force because it perfectly complements his psychopathy. No seriosuly, he is a natural born psychopath. All of that has over time made him sadistic. And that is his motivation. Besides, evil for the sake of evil is saddly not an unrealistic thing.
If you look into it, since the sith use the dark side so extensively they get corrupted to become motivated purely by greed and being power hungry and also palpatine had motive to turn Anakin and Luke so he could basically swap bodies with them and because of their high mideclorian count he thought he would become immortal (this was an idea he and plagueis researched in extensively)
However, most of them think that what they're doing is the right thing to do, so "doing evil for the sake of evil" doesn't describe people that are like Palpatine in real life
@@bintanglintangerlangga1983 I mean, Palpatine also belives that what he is doing is right. His ego makes him think he is the only one fit to rule and so he should over all. Palpatine is far from a simple or badly written character. His writing in the movies and how he manipulates everyone is incredible.
@@deaddead2783 dude he did so much more than that. *SPOILERS:* (killing Jonathan's dog, trying to kill his father, and even slipping tongue into his gf. Then later after killing him goes after his grandson and great great grandson where he kills a crusader and convinces a senator to run over a bunch of people. Then after that Jonathans great great great granddaughter has to deal with Pucci, Dio's disciple. And all of this is because Dio hate's the Joestar bloodline and wanted to rule the world.) And that's not even going into what he did through other people.
Ethan you have to be hands down the best yapper to ever be, love your content 🔥🔥 Tierlist Idea: Monuments/Structures Examples: Mount Rushmore, Colosseum, Stonehenge, etc…
if you liked Death Note so much you should watch Monster(anime) I promise you you are going to love it,Johan Liebert the main antagonist is amazing I have no words for it
While it is a very faithful adaptation I would recommend reading the manga as a first time experience of monster. A lot of the panels especially with Johan show the full essence of his character. Of course to each their own and like I said the anime is very faithful to the manga, but there were some moments in the manga that show you how terrifying Johan is.
Yes, let's ignore the fact Thanos killed Nebula's family, subjected her to torturous mutilation, replacing parts of her body with robotic parts,literally stated in endgame that he will kill everyone and not just 50% of the universe,made Thor watch all of Asgard die and killed Heimdall and Loki infront of him. ''Justifiable Villain'' btw
@@19Ledor For him the intentions are more important the actions themselves which is a childish perspective on things that does not justify anything. Eren and Thanos are evil regardless of they're motives.
@@bluez3r140No they absolutely aren’t. Besides, overpopulation was based on false hysteria given that as society has continued people are having way less children now than they did a hundred years ago.
@@theatheistbear3117 Maybe in real life, but in the story Thanos's home planet was basically destroyed because of overpopulation, along with other planets reaching that point in the universe.

The reason you don't understand Palpatine's motives is because you don't understand the sith. It's a ideology and a religion read the sith code you will understand Palpatine much better.
I don’t understand why would we need Palpatine to justify himself for his actions. Every scene he’s in pretty much told us what he’s all about. He does it because he thinks it’s fun, he’s having a great time.
Palpatine is incarnation of evil and he is the most corrupted by the dark side and sith only want power, he cant changed and he is ultimate villian that is evil since born, a psychopath
Team Fortress 2 has a comic series and the Medic just randomly becomes more evil than the devil. We all know his thing, he's sadistic, a german WW2 vet (he joined the war to experiment on dying soldiers), he puts animal organs in people. But in the comics when he dies he gets revived, because he claimed the souls of his teammates so the Devil technically only owns 1/9th of his soul. He talks to the literal Devil like he's just a random dude he caught in a contract clause. He then sells one of his teammates souls to the Devil for a normal pen. This whole storyline is so random, because the rest of the comics is just: "Oh here comes the braindead soldier naked and covered in honey to beat up some robots"
To be honest, you are by far the best UA-camr I have seen so far, I watch every video of yours and have done so since the beginning and I have to say you really deserve it that your channel has had really good growth this year
Wow--this is one of the first tier lists I've watched from you where I actually disagree with a lot of them. I'm usually quite simpatico with them, save one or two. However, I completely understand your viewpoint because you have such a great (and hilarious) way of explaining it. Awesome job in justifying why you put them where you did, even if I didn't agree!
There's an entire plot point in Harry Potter about how the wizard race is in hiding and dying out. They stay hidden because they work with world leaders to do so. The Wizards themselves say that they would be crushed out of existence overnight if they went to war with the muggles. The deal is the Wizards keep creatures like dragons, giants chimera and sphinx hidden and under control in exchange for protection. The Wizards pose zero threat to the muggles. It's the magical beasts, many of who can destroy countries and we're immune to anything the muggles could do that were the danger. A single giant could destroy a town before anything could be done (happened in the series. They thought I was a hurricane) and some dragon species were the equivalent of an entire Airforce on their own. Not to mention the dementors who would kill all of humanity if not for Wizards keeping them in check. The magical beasts maintain the status quo. Voldemort commanded those beasts. He absolutely could have destroyed all of Britain at the very least before the rest of the world started mobilizing.
Woah, that’s really cool lore, was that explained in fantastic beasts, I’ve been reading Harry Potter stuff for like the last 15 years, and I don’t think I’ve heard that before.

Okay hard disagree on Thanos not thinking he is a God. This douchebag thinks he knows best to the point of wiping out half the Universe because he sees it as his way of saving it. Just the leaps of logic to get there displays an enormous god complex. Consider this quote too: "I am inevitable." Sounds like he thinks he's a God to me.
Wasn't the snap pretty much random picks of people as well? Like dude you also wiped out half of all farmers and doctors, you're back at square one smh
One thing tho: We know all we need to know about Palpatine. I get your point, I just disagree with it. The Prequels were not made to make us sympathize with the Evil guy. The Prequels were not meant to show "Oh, there is more depth to everything and everyone." No. These films are supposed to show us how these characters we know and love got into the positions they are in in the OT. Not to fundamentally change who they are and how we experience them in the OT. It was not meant to add a layer of sympathy to Palpatine tho. And it was not meant to make the Sith less evil. The sith are and always have been evil. Completely. There were Sith that were morally complex, but those were the individuals. The thing about Palpatine is, that he is the Devil. He is the most pure personification of the dark side of the force and the most evil character in the entire Galaxy. Therefore he would not want to justify what he is doing. You can't imagine how dumb it would be to hear Palpatine saying something about his motives and that he has to do what he does for a good reason. NO, WHO THE HELL WOULD EVEN WANT TO SEE THAT? That is totally not the character. He works perfectly as what he is. He doesn't need a reason or a motive to be a good character. He has probably no morals. He wants UNLIMITED POWER. He is not dumb. And the viewers are also not dumb. Like... he knows what he is doing. The viewer knows it too. There is no need for him to hide from that and pretend that he is doing something good, because it would just be so freaking stupid that not even he himself could believe it. His reason IS the dark side, literally. We have heard what it can do and he is the prime example of it. And the Sith just want power. They are not complex in that way. The Sith want to be like Palpatine, so he is THE ultimate Sith. No, but seriously now. It would be dogshit if they made us sympathize with him especially, because we are not meant to be. What the Prequels did brilliantly, was showing us how that politician gained more and more power, manipulated both sides and turned out to be the absolute menace of the galaxy. (Something we can see happening in the real world too) How a single person can blind billions or more and end democracy with planned actions. Yes, he is evil for the sake of being evil. But at least there is a simple and plausible reason for that evil that is already part of the lore from the beginning.
I don’t actually think Walter really changed through the series. He was never really happy in his life and it is OBVIOUS already in the first episodes of the series. He found what he liked, he liked having power, he liked people to respect and fear him (something that clearly wasn’t the case when he was a teacher) and he, obviously, liked to do what he was good at doing. It’s like a kid who’s never been able to have fun in his entire life, and when he finally does, he can’t control himself and just goes too far; he understands what he’s doing is wrong, but he also doesn’t want to stop, so he makes up an excuse (doing it for the family) to feel better about himself
Ngl it was crazy seeing him defend Walter to the extent he did. Yes, I understand rooting for him, but how on earth can you say he was "providing for his family"?
Before watching this video Darth sidious is easy S Edit: his motive is that he is simply pure evil and as for sympathize with the sith Sidious took maul when he was a child tortured him and made him a monster. dooku and anakin/vader were good until sidious manipulated them among other things. Sidious is the only pure evil on And have to disagreed on palpatine being a bad character he is an pure evil mastermind simple yes but good so many f*cked uo things happend in the galaxy infact basicly every bad/evil thing in star wars happends becouse of him alone
your judge holden explanation may be the single worst explanation of anything ive ever heard. bunch of incoherent vague nonsense about the overall story and then “he made gunpowder”
If you invested time in looking into Star Wars lore and stuff such as like, the Sith and stuff, I would so listen to you ranting about that for hours on end.
Patrick Bateman from the book definitely has to be mentioned; the guy killed a little kid, pretended to be a doctor to "save him", and then slapped the kid's mother to get her to calm down... The movie romanticized him but in the book he's really something else.

Nah bro look into palpatine deeper, watch lore videos, the with codes and all his scenes and you’ll realize palpatines motivations, they also dive into them into the comics as well, he is truly just a psychopath, evil incarnate lusting for power
24:58 because he is a psychopath, there are books that are canon about Palpatines time in training which show that more, he is literally space mustache man. Also alot of Legends stuff up about the creation of the Sith and from the rule of two up to the movies is still canon and shows the motives of the sith and Palpatine is at then end just teh sith that finall does what the order has been working up to for thousands of years,
47:58 the fly is great. I haven’t watched it in a while but it has Walter almost spilling to Jesse what he did to his girlfriend(I forgot her name). Also it is just fun
44:37 watch naoki urusawa's Monster. Its one of the best anime ever written. The story is not like a normal anime, in fact it couldve been a tv show and wouldve still worked, it just happened to be told in the medium of anime and manga. Naoki urusawa's Monster is a 10/10 watch
Very true. It was one of my favorite anime at one point but after truly getting into the genre it doesn’t hold up well outside of L and Light’s dynamic. Death Note falls off so hard at the end.
People look over Euron Greyjoy because he was a lame character in "Game of Thrones," but in the novels he is up there with Holden as potentially the most evil and scariest villain in literature.
Davros from Doctor Who is overlooked in this regard: - Started experimenting to turn his own species into mutant creatures whose only purpose is to hate all other life - This involved posing as a doctor and making unborn babies turn into mutants, also killing the pregnant mothers - Engineered the destruction of his own species to fully turn them into Daleks (the mutants from before) who lead lives of suffering stuck inside robotic casings - Indirect, but the Daleks are fucked up themselves and have committed all kinds of atrocities during their existence - Has turned people into food as un unnecessary step in one of his schemes - Attempted to destroy the entire multiverse and was emotionally distraught when this failed - All of this was done because of the belief that Daleks are the supreme lifeform, born as basically a projection of his insane egomania
Love the vid! But palpatine is only in 5, arguably 6 movies. He doesnt become a character until Return of the Jedi, and is only a cameo in Empire. Also, his appearance in Episode 9 barely counts because that movie and disney RUINED his to the point he could be considered a different character entirely
I found your channel recently and think you make pretty good tier list videos. You’re way more entertaining than other UA-camrs who do this. I hope you keep making these because I can’t wait to see what gets ranked next.
The thing people tend to miss with Palpatine, is that he wasn't meant to be relatable to normal people. Look into his back story, he came from a wealthy family and always had a superiority complex, was always ambitious, even before he knew he was a force user.
For vader's build up let us not forget how the jedi council LITERALLY TREAT THEIR OWN WHEN ONE IS BEING FRAMED AND ACCUSSED FOR A WARCRIME THAT SHE DIDN'T DO. TO THEN JUST SAY "we're sorry the force works is mysterious ways its not our fault." (Literally blaming the force instead of their dumb decisions. AND HAVING AHSOKA LOSE FULL TRUST IN THE COUNCIL CAUSING HER TO LEAVE, allowing Anakin to hate the council even more than he already had. Anakin had every right to become that evil.
Frieza?? I know Buu & Cell and even Beerus was all stronger but Frieza was like THEE BAD GUY. Alsooooo please don’t go off Rings Of Power for your LOTR Lore. I will call anyone out.
I know I'm about two weeks late but I am genuinely shocked that big names like Megatron, Joker and Frieza didn't make the list. Not dissing your list, I really like it actually, just asking for myself.
Great concept for a video. Nice to see more people appreciate stories like Blood Meridian and I have no mouth but I must scream. But I do have to disagree with the Palpatine take.
awesome video, until the breaking bad part begins. There's so much to unpack about you not understanding the show that I might need to start a YT channel myself lol
Also i would like to contend with you that Mr Robot imo, in my experience anyway, is right above breaking bad. It has the exact same issue too. To me it had one bad episode, realistically there's two, but they're actually not that bad on the 2nd watch because you pick up a lot on the 2nd watch.
The Reapers from Mass Effect. They combine the Ruthless technological precision of the Borg, with the horror and unknown enormity of the Lovecraft's Old Ones. They are a force of nature. They don't think so much as they act and react, and they cannot be reasoned with.
I’d definitely give death more another watch cause Light is the alibi. The second he got power over others he immediately exerted it and felt himself superior to his peers. Kira had the wrong intentions the whole time, killing criminals was just a lie he told himself to deal with his monstrous nature.
God bless your yapping

It’s like a kid who’s never been able to have fun in his entire life, and when he finally does, he can’t control himself and just goes too far; he understands what he’s doing is wrong, but he also doesn’t want to stop, so he makes up an excuse (doing it for the family) to feel better about himself
Ngl it was crazy seeing him defend Walter to the extent he did. Yes, I understand rooting for him, but how on earth can you say he was "providing for his family"?
tf you mean Palpatine has no motives, he wants to rule the galaxy
Bro that's an objective not a motive
Can't wait for Top 10 Crashouts in Media
I love your yappin skills. They say everyone is good at something, you my friend are good at yappin.
Before watching this video Darth sidious is easy S
Edit: his motive is that he is simply pure evil and as for sympathize with the sith Sidious took maul when he was a child tortured him and made him a monster. dooku and anakin/vader were good until sidious manipulated them among other things. Sidious is the only pure evil on
And have to disagreed on palpatine being a bad character he is an pure evil mastermind simple yes but good so many f*cked uo things happend in the galaxy infact basicly every bad/evil thing in star wars happends becouse of him alone
Funfact in the Manga Donald Trump gets the death note
what.
Pretty sure justin Trudeau does, so that way he can kill old and depressed people
your judge holden explanation may be the single worst explanation of anything ive ever heard. bunch of incoherent vague nonsense about the overall story and then “he made gunpowder”
I thought bro only done UFC content, but this is a big bonus amazing
If you invested time in looking into Star Wars lore and stuff such as like, the Sith and stuff, I would so listen to you ranting about that for hours on end.
Patrick Bateman from the book definitely has to be mentioned; the guy killed a little kid, pretended to be a doctor to "save him", and then slapped the kid's mother to get her to calm down... The movie romanticized him but in the book he's really something else.
I wouldn't say the movies romanticized him but rather made him less disturbing. The book version of Bateman couldn't be made in to a movie
Bro 4 Chan would figure out the inner workings of magic in a single day😂 they reworked a crystal sequence problem and made it more efficient in a couple of weeks when the best scientists couldn’t do it in 15 years. As soon as 4 Chan gets their hands on magic it’s over for the wizarding world😂😂
Really happy that you talking about AM, Harlan Ellison is one of the best short story authors I've ever read and I appreciate you mentioning some characters who might be less popular or widely known.
love it bro u should do a tier list of all the all tomorows creatures😊
good tier list except Eren needs to be down at Walter white's level in the D level. he did nothing wrong, they did him injustice
the best part about attack on titan is that there’s no real heroes or villains. just people doing what they think is right.
@@vasoline5811 I disagree. Marley was an evil nation that set out to conquer the world with titans and machines. glad Eren killed most of them and the corrupt figures in his own nation. too bad he couldn't keep fighting for his own freedom.
@@nickdogg211 well they did that because they suffered under the eldian empire back then. two wrongs dont make a right sure but that’s what they believed was best for their nation.
I think the main reason I love Ethan's videos so much is because when he goes off on side tangents about stuff it reminds me of how my conversations with my friends would go down in an xbox party like 5 years ago
Nah bro look into palpatine deeper, watch lore videos, the with codes and all his scenes and you’ll realize palpatines motivations, they also dive into them into the comics as well, he is truly just a psychopath, evil incarnate lusting for power
He does specifically specify movie Palpatine. He knows Palpatine has motives in the book.
@ yes but he does state in the movies his goal is basically unlimited power that’s his thing 😂
24:58 because he is a psychopath, there are books that are canon about Palpatines time in training which show that more, he is literally space mustache man. Also alot of Legends stuff up about the creation of the Sith and from the rule of two up to the movies is still canon and shows the motives of the sith and Palpatine is at then end just teh sith that finall does what the order has been working up to for thousands of years,
Well palpatine knows that he is doing evill and enjoys it
@ 1. like I said he‘s a psychopath
2. That‘s what the dark side does to you
47:58 the fly is great. I haven’t watched it in a while but it has Walter almost spilling to Jesse what he did to his girlfriend(I forgot her name). Also it is just fun
Imagine if Thanos got rid of half of everybody’s cells
The voices in my head stopped thanks
44:37 watch naoki urusawa's Monster. Its one of the best anime ever written.
The story is not like a normal anime, in fact it couldve been a tv show and wouldve still worked, it just happened to be told in the medium of anime and manga. Naoki urusawa's Monster is a 10/10 watch
Nah man Death Note started cool but jumped the shark big time. I would say it's a great premise but kinda failed for me
Very true. It was one of my favorite anime at one point but after truly getting into the genre it doesn’t hold up well outside of L and Light’s dynamic. Death Note falls off so hard at the end.
@@The_Hendrix lol, I think Ethan agreed, since he said there were only 37 episodes. XD ‘there is no war in ba sing say’ vibes.
First 2/3 was S tier, last 1/3 was C tier
Yeah
Near got some crazy ahh plot armor
When L dies it’s the clear end for me
You HAVE to add Rick Grimes to the dictator tier list.
People look over Euron Greyjoy because he was a lame character in "Game of Thrones," but in the novels he is up there with Holden as potentially the most evil and scariest villain in literature.
this will be great backround noise for while i play warframe
Bro does not understand Eren Jaeger. He was not selfless and much more than "flawed"
cringeki no kyojin, eren , the konrad kurze of anime
@@albertofrankdiaz6664what are brainrot are you on?
Nahh man judge holden is the GOAT of evil💯💯
Davros from Doctor Who is overlooked in this regard:
- Started experimenting to turn his own species into mutant creatures whose only purpose is to hate all other life
- This involved posing as a doctor and making unborn babies turn into mutants, also killing the pregnant mothers
- Engineered the destruction of his own species to fully turn them into Daleks (the mutants from before) who lead lives of suffering stuck inside robotic casings
- Indirect, but the Daleks are fucked up themselves and have committed all kinds of atrocities during their existence
- Has turned people into food as un unnecessary step in one of his schemes
- Attempted to destroy the entire multiverse and was emotionally distraught when this failed
- All of this was done because of the belief that Daleks are the supreme lifeform, born as basically a projection of his insane egomania
Love the vid! But palpatine is only in 5, arguably 6 movies. He doesnt become a character until Return of the Jedi, and is only a cameo in Empire. Also, his appearance in Episode 9 barely counts because that movie and disney RUINED his to the point he could be considered a different character entirely
I found your channel recently and think you make pretty good tier list videos. You’re way more entertaining than other UA-camrs who do this. I hope you keep making these because I can’t wait to see what gets ranked next.
You should watch the anime Monster.
just drove from dallas to houston and watched 1 video
schlawg is not anton chigurh
Hell yeah, this is my fav topic so far. Love your videos!
The thing people tend to miss with Palpatine, is that he wasn't meant to be relatable to normal people. Look into his back story, he came from a wealthy family and always had a superiority complex, was always ambitious, even before he knew he was a force user.
Palpatine is intelligent enough to know what he is doing is bad
He is just a psychopath in a world with powers for people like him
After that season finale of penguin that monster belongs on this list lol
For vader's build up let us not forget how the jedi council LITERALLY TREAT THEIR OWN WHEN ONE IS BEING FRAMED AND ACCUSSED FOR A WARCRIME THAT SHE DIDN'T DO. TO THEN JUST SAY "we're sorry the force works is mysterious ways its not our fault." (Literally blaming the force instead of their dumb decisions. AND HAVING AHSOKA LOSE FULL TRUST IN THE COUNCIL CAUSING HER TO LEAVE, allowing Anakin to hate the council even more than he already had. Anakin had every right to become that evil.
I came as fast as I could.
😂
Pause
Phrasing
Same 😩😩😩
Yeah it’s hard to go to a yapping channel when your in School
This guy is hella entertaining bruh😂
18:13 Judge holden isn't the devil. THE DEVIL IS JUDGE HOLDEN.
Can't say Jedi didn't care about the war they definitely did it was never ending because of doku and palpatine machinations
Daily vids gon make this channel sky rocket bro keep going!
Palpatine just wanted power and immortality. Didn't really explain his motives
Great video man 🤙
Frieza?? I know Buu & Cell and even Beerus was all stronger but Frieza was like THEE BAD GUY. Alsooooo please don’t go off Rings Of Power for your LOTR Lore. I will call anyone out.
Eren should've never stopped
Clicked the video unaware that I would see the MMA guy lol
its interesting how you put griffith and the judge together because essentially they are both massive manipulators
AM, Frieza and Thanos are just on a different level of evil.
Bro was so mad at Skyler that he forgot to talk about Walter White 💀
I know I'm about two weeks late but I am genuinely shocked that big names like Megatron, Joker and Frieza didn't make the list. Not dissing your list, I really like it actually, just asking for myself.
51:03 ngl I thoroughly enjoyed watching Ted hit his head on the table and get turned into a vegetable
waltuh, ethanoneverything put you in a video waltuh
Great concept for a video. Nice to see more people appreciate stories like Blood Meridian and I have no mouth but I must scream. But I do have to disagree with the Palpatine take.
“The Fly” was a masterpiece
awesome video, until the breaking bad part begins. There's so much to unpack about you not understanding the show that I might need to start a YT channel myself lol
Good job man
Worthy mention yoshakage Kira from jjba part 4
Also i would like to contend with you that Mr Robot imo, in my experience anyway, is right above breaking bad. It has the exact same issue too. To me it had one bad episode, realistically there's two, but they're actually not that bad on the 2nd watch because you pick up a lot on the 2nd watch.
Can you go in depth on the psychology of Judge Holden?
You forgot about A.M from, "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream". He could definitely be a contender, just saying!
Fang Yuan enjoyers: *Still waiting for part 2 of this*
The Reapers from Mass Effect. They combine the Ruthless technological precision of the Borg, with the horror and unknown enormity of the Lovecraft's Old Ones. They are a force of nature. They don't think so much as they act and react, and they cannot be reasoned with.
bro needs to watch monster, Johan is a menace
I’d definitely give death more another watch cause Light is the alibi. The second he got power over others he immediately exerted it and felt himself superior to his peers. Kira had the wrong intentions the whole time, killing criminals was just a lie he told himself to deal with his monstrous nature.
Tree tierlist. Would be really funny
After the last episode of Penguin you can add Oswald Cobb as well
