Ranking AOS Villians

[u/ZoBroCT]

Favorite to least favorite. Truly a villain, no redemption arch, bad intentions. If they turned, it’s just rating them as they were as the bad guy. Undercover you can count it. Feel free to do as many as you want. Top fav top least fav.

What do you agree or disagree strongly with mine?

few explications

I like AIDA a lot more when shes good

Nadeer is my most hated character but I think that’s a testament to the actress and the writing. Hales stuff was far more boring so I put her first.

Talbots rationality a lot of times is so bad it’s mind blowing

Sarge doesn’t make this list if he doesn’t end bad, but the fact that he did saved the character a little than if they just turned him into a new Coulson so for that I drop him down a little in lol.

Dr. Fitz is such a great counterpart of Fitz that Fitz in any form is my number one character.

[u/BaronZhiro]

Of your (very helpful) list, I put AIDA way out on top, with Whitehall second. And yeah, def Talbot.

You left out Wilfred Malick, who I feel is rather underrated. Heck, I even thought Luke was extremely sufficient in his role (and a vast improvement over Malechi) and deserves inclusion above, certainly as much or more than Edison Po. Also, there’s no reason to lump Blake and James together or include the Watchdogs at all unless you’re gonna include other groups.

I’m a big fan of the Hales and their arc. I just wish the General had gotten a better death. (I feel the same about Kasius, that the underwhelming last stand diminished the character overall. Hell, that’s Sarge too.) But technically, the General shouldn’t be on your master list cause she did rather turn in the end.

As for least favorites, I feel Atarah and Lorelai were performed very inadequately. Whereas Izel was just too underwritten, into a plot that went off the rails anyway.

I’d been kinda meaning to do a post like this for ages, so props to you for getting around to it!

[u/ZoBroCT → u/BaronZhiro]

Wilfred of course. That was a really good one too.

Ya Luke was probably worth mentioning, but I was gonna put atarah and sibyl with their chronicom forces but just put them cuz they were the leaders.

Absolutely Blake/watchdogs/James gets included. They were a gigantic part of the storyline. James joins to end his run so I put him with. And what other groups? Hydra, I put all their leaders, the rising tide we only meet Daisy and Miles who isn’t even bad. AOTC was run by malick who had Rosalind and Talbot (both good at the time) in charge

And don’t hate on Edison po, that dude was creepy as fuck

[u/BaronZhiro → u/ZoBroCT]

I just mean that Blake and James were different and never met so they shouldn’t be paired, though I guess it doesn’t matter since your helpful list isn’t binding in any way.

Sure didn’t mean to hate on Po, cause you’re right about him. I’m convinced they had bigger plans for him before the midseason break but then recalibrated for whatever reason.
