Machine Gun Joe - Death Race 2000
Death - Final Destination

Kinda surprised nobody has nominated Lecter yet. Oh well, I'm still hoping that Jack Torrance from The Shining gets a mention.

Agreed. I don't want to give any suggestions at all but I'm surprised that Amon Goeth from Schindler's List, The Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard of Oz, Sergeant Hartman from Full Metal Jacket, Scar from Lion King, Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange, and many others weren't nominated.

I'm hoping they do get nominated. It would be an amazing villain brawl.

Yeah, those are all a bit shocking too. Lots of MoFos probably didn't pick the well known ones cause they figured someone else would

This is a good idea, in fact, it was a possibility for my 2nd tournament, but you beat me to it. Anyways:

Hannibal Lector- Silence of the Lambs
John Doe- Seven

Amon Goeth - Schindler's List
Agent Smith - The Matrix

Sorry, rauldc already got him.

Society - Brazil

Hmm... interesting choice, but i'll take it. You can make another nomination as well, though.

I want to nominate the grizzly bear (Bart the Bear) from 1997's "The Edge"

Alright, we have our 32 nominees

I'll set up the brackets now, and I'll make sure that nobody has both their nominees going up against each other for the first round. Each battle must have ten people voting in it before we can move on.

And here we go:

ROUND 1, BRACKET 1

Norman Bates (Psycho) vs Frank Booth (Blue Velvet)
Palpatine (Return of the Jedi) vs Col. Walter E. Kurtz (Apocalypse Now)
Michael Corleone (The Godfather Trilogy) vs Sauron (The Lord of the Rings)
HAL 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) vs Voldemort (Harry Potter Series)

ROUND 1, BRACKET 2

Alien (Alien) vs The Shark (Jaws)
Nurse Ratched (One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest) vs Darth Vader (Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back)
The Joker (The Dark Knight) vs Mr. Glass (Unbreakable)
Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street) vs Johnny Friendly (On The Waterfront)

My votes:

ROUND 1, BRACKET 1

Norman Bates vs Frank Booth
Palpatine vs Col. Walter E. Kurtz
Michael Corleone vs Sauron
HAL 9000 vs Voldemort

ROUND 1, BRACKET 2

Alien vs The Shark
Nurse Ratched vs Darth Vader
The Joker vs Mr. Glass
Freddy Krueger vs Johnny Friendly

May I suggest putting the names of the films next to the villian?

Yeah, that's probably a good idea, especially as we go further. i doubt many people immediately know who Bart the Bear is

My votes:

ROUND 1, BRACKET 1

Norman Bates vs Frank Booth
Palpatine vs Col. Walter E. Kurtz
Michael Corleone vs Sauron
HAL 9000 vs Voldemort

ROUND 1, BRACKET 2
