best villain entrance

[master of read]

when you see a villain for the first time, and you know you are screwed.




darkseid: when he appeared in the 90s superman cartoon for the first time, he scared the shit out of me. with the fire and deep voice, he looked like the devil.

chase young: appearing out of nowhere with his army of big cats. cool.

yami marik: when he came out during the battle city finals, i knew this guy was raw evil.



any more?

[En Sabah Nur]

Perfect Cell
Super Buu
Evolution Apocalypse
Trigon
Brainiac/Luthor Complete
Red Zod
Vergil DMC3

[Guywhoiscool]

The beginning cutscene of Freespace when the Shivans first appear.

[Myoman]

The entrance of the Balrog in the Mines of Moria, book or movie.

[Guts/Batman]

Zodd in Berserk...

Two soldiers in full armor hanging on his huge sword while he his fingers lodged in another soldiers face...

Badasssssss!!! :D

[Saint_007]

Not exactly an "Oh Crap" moment as a "Damn, I Want His Agent's Number" Type:

Magus, from Chrono Trigger. That was a damn cool appearance and a suitable speech...

...of course, with New Game plus, what immediately follows the speech is pure ownage by the Crono Gang.

But Lavos counts (unless you're New Game Plus). First time you face him, he wipes the floor with your entire party.Crono also dies

[Myoman]

The entrance of the Flood in the original Halo game

[GrampaGen]

The four Shadaloo Kings in the SF2 movie. Not only did it parallel the Empire's entrance in Return of the Jedi, but with the atmosphere and the music combined with their collective scowls, you just knew these are guys you don't fuck with. It was a nice touch with the scientists running away in an "oh shit!" moment when Bison was marching down the hallway towards his easy chair.

Co-sign this whole post, can't believe I forgot that one.

[Grazzt]

Kefka, thanks to the awesome theme music.

Sephiroth's first appearance wasn't too bad either.

[OverMaster]

I like Darth Vader's in A New Hope.

Although not too menacing, when Ra's al Ghul comes out of the shadows of the Batcave and meets Batman in B:TAS, that's a cool moment.

[Artemis1]

Darth Vader: Once those doors opened, you could just tell there was a wierd chill in that station.

Killeroid: That thing was READY for some cans of buttwhoop.

Kingpin: It doesn't make you think you're screwed, but it had some class.

[Kill cujo]

Crovax when he first rolled into the Stronghold, walking on the ceiling, and all.
Crovax- I am the Evicar of Rath
Greven- You're either a madman or a liar, In any case your life is forfeit. get him!!!
Later-
Greven. Can you direct my control rod imposter? you have one chance before I kill you!
Come to think of it Greven wasn't a bad villian either :evilsmile

[metalhead_dave743]

When Angel first met Hamilton.

"Wow, he is well dressed."

[sir_snikt'alot]

darth maul in the hangar bay.

[Motormouse]

The original Alien, bursting from Kane's chest in Ridley scotts: Alien.

Dogs head going the way of the banana in John Carpenters: The Thing

The Shadows. B5 season 1: signs and portents. Shadow battle crab phases in, takes one shot, annialates the bad guys.*i was like, WTF was that??????*

Vader: A new Hope

:eek:

[Motormouse]

darth maul in the hangar bay.

That was cool but not technically an entrance as we'd seen him several times before :p

[Kaiju]

The Toho villain's had a ton of great entrances. Godzilla's first full appearance, Ghidorah's birth, the Green Gargantua, Rodan, etc. all had great "oh crap!" entrances.

[Guywhoiscool]

I've got a great one:

Star Trek: The Next Generation, at the end of The Best of Both Worlds Part 1, we see Picard has been assimilated and turned into Locutus of Borg!

"Resistance is Futile. From now on, your culture will service us!"


Riker: "Fire!"

Then the cliffhanger

That was awesome.

[Caswin]

Darth Vader: A favorite of my dad's. Technically, we've seen him already, but then we have Obi-Wan escaping through the hallway... then, out of the darkness... vooooommmmm....

Smith: "Mister Anderson..." Between the background and the music, simple, but beautiful.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

TF: The Movie. The Decepticons blowing the hole in the Autobot shuttle and then killing Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet and Brawn.

I legit cried when I saw that in the theater. Granted I was seven, but still...

[sir_snikt'alot]

Darth Vader: A favorite of my dad's, technically we've seen him already, but in the hallway - Obi Wan is escaping, then out of the darkness - vooooommmmm....

was that just before the obi/vader duel in a new hope?

[sir_snikt'alot]

TF: The Movie. The Decepticons blowing the hole in the Autobot shuttle and then killing Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet and Brawn.

I legit cried when I saw that in the theater. Granted I was seven, but still...

it was frigging harsh for a kids movie.

[SuperSaiyaMan12]

When Vegeta and Nappa arrived on Earth. Nappa caused the biggest explosion on the planet when they arrived at that time, remember?

[sir_snikt'alot]

vegeta in one of the dbz movies,breaking an iceberg/ice mountain in half with him inside it!

wtf? still pretty cool though.

[Guts/Batman]

TF: The Movie. The Decepticons blowing the hole in the Autobot shuttle and then killing Prowl, Ironhide, Ratchet and Brawn.

I legit cried when I saw that in the theater. Granted I was seven, but still...

Ironhides death was completely kickass.

I honestly get kinda teary eyed when I watch the Optimus Prime death scene to this day.

[Naraku]

Naraku.
Why?
Because in his entrance(Naraku and Sesshoumaru join Forces), you look at him and think: He is a very weak youkai and no represent any danger.
But you are WRONG!
And you learn that appearance can be deceive.

And of course...

Sesshoumaru in his entrance(badass).

[Dark Soul # 7]

Hannibal Lector in Red Dragon. I just love that scene.

*Will Graham his walking torwards Lectors cell, he sits down on a chair infront of it. Lector is lying on his back and then he starts to talk*
Lector: That´s the same atrocious aftershave you wore in court.
Graham: I keep getting it for Christmas.
Lector: Christmas yes. Did you get my card?

In the movie and the book this scene always sends those nerdish chills through my spine.

Ok it more of an itroduction than an entrance, but still.

[Xombie]

Sepy in KH.

Phantom in the new Phantom of the opera when he busts in during the middle of a song and his own theme song starts playing.

[Fallman]

Say what you will about the movie, but the Phantom has one Damn badass theme.

[JCAll]

Ganondorf in Zelda OoT. Not Ganon, Ganondorf.
I, of course heard the name Ganondorf in passing while reading the Zelda LttP instruction manual. But when you finally get to see him after years of not taking the name as anything, riding on the back of a black horse in full armor, I instantly got the feeling ganon was going to be better this way.

Yeah, I prefer the more human look over the pig.

*sniff*

[LtK-Dragon]

From The new Doctor Who episode "Dalek"

Right after the Doctor enters "The Cage" and speaks to the "metaltron"

Doctor: “I’ve come to help, I’m the doctor.”
"metaltron": “Doc-tor?”
Doctor: “Impossible.”
"metaltron": “Thee Doc-tor?”
<The lights come on reveling that the "metaltron" is a Dalek>
Dalek: "EXTERMINATE. EXTERMINATE! EX-TER-MIN-ATE!"

[lonewolf23k]

JLA, Rock of Ages part 4.. Darkseid pays a visit to Earth..

"On your knees for the master! The hour has come! HE has come!

Who is beyond Good and Evil?

Who is the Prophet of Anti-Life?

Who is the Rock and the Chain and the Lightning?

ALL POWERFUL!
ALL FORGIVING!
ALL CONQUERING!

WHO IS YOUR NEW GOD NOW AND FOREVER?"

Darkseid steps forward with the crack of thunder, and simply says,
"Darkseid Is."

[Ghost]

Sephiroth's first appearance wasn't too bad either.

Having him kill everyone in the Shinra building and nail the president to his desk with his sword and never showing him doing it was an awesome way to introduce the character.


darth maul in the hangar bay.

I prefer his very first appearance, with his hologram suddenly appearing right next to Sidious, who was all: "You guys are useless. See this? This is a guy who'll get things done!"

[Kirayoshi]

Q in the ST:TNG ep "Q-Less". Pops onto the bridge, completely naked, falls onto the floor, and just grins at Picard, saying snarkily, "Red alert!"

The Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact. Her head, shoulders and spinal column being lowered into her body chassis. Oh yeah!

Joker invading the museum in Tim Burton's Batman. "Gentlemen, let's broaden our minds!"

[Xombie]

Say what you will about the movie, but the Phantom has one Damn badass theme.

Yep, the movie was crap but the phantom was badass all the way.

[Guts/Batman]

Just re-watched my G Gundam dvds and found Master Gundam's first appearances to be badass.

I definitely got the "Oh Shit" thing going...

[Erebus]

In the first Terminator movie, with the giant flash, the forg, and suddenly the perfect killing machine rising from the darkness... even the fact that he was naked couldnt spoil that one perfect moment.

[Lord Foul]

The new WOTW movie. When the first walker appeared.

If it took that long for any other introduction in a movie it would be dragging, but it was so awe inspiring....

"VOHHHOOOOM"

[nervmeister]

Anyone ever see the orignal Ninja Scroll movie?

[Grazzt]

Anyone ever see the orignal Ninja Scroll movie?

I did. Which villain entrance are you talking about though? Gemma at the very end?

[nervmeister]

I did. Which villain entrance are you talking about though? Gemma at the very end?In particular Gemma's and Tessai's were the best.

[Grazzt]

In particular Gemma's and Tessai's were the best.

I liked Yurimaru's also, when he drops the loop over the leader of the Koga ninjas and then electricutes the guy.

[K Von Doom]

I liked the starting pages of Infinity Gauntlet, with footprints in the sand (immitating the 'footprints in the sand' with god poem)... then showing Thanos and Mephisto on the next page.

[nervmeister]

I liked Yurimaru's also, when he drops the loop over the leader of the Koga ninjas and then electricutes the guy.What's amazing is that all you see is Yurimaru's ribcage light up. From there you know that some crazy sh!t's about to go down.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

Just realized no one mentioned Unicron.

Flies through space, approaches Lithone and, with no preamble or anything like that, eats the planet.

And near the end, when he transforms. You knew shit was on...

[Guts/Batman]

It was mentioned on another one of these kinds of threads...

[Doom68]

Emporer Palpatine's arrival on the 2nd deathstar for the first time. the music got heavy and like the welcoming commity was huge. there was just an aura of "this is the guy VADER calls master"

the beyonder. first time we see him he wipes away a galaxy, creates a planet and smacks down galactus.

not really an entrance...but...an appearance...Akuma making his background cameo in Street Fighter 2 V. Dunno what he was doing there. one moment he is standing around. next moment drinking booze wit some chick...

the T-rex in jurassic park for the first time...you never see him till he is ripping out of his cage and dwarfing the cars and everyone that sees him is freaked.

[Caswin]

Another fudge on the "first appearance" rule, but I feel this is worth not only that, but resurrecting a thread (even a thread with some of my 2005 posts) for:

Maestro Delphine, Last Exile.

We have seen her before. We've seen just enough of her in her little luxurious flying Guild-house to see how influential, uncaring, and sadistic she is. It's all about entertainment value for her. Human lives aren't even secondary so much as somewhere in the back. And, unfortunately, she has the clout to play to her whims to the fullest extent.

Then, late in the series, she shows up in person at the coronation of the new empress in a huge, magnificent flying machine in the sky. This is immediately followed by a veritable carpet bombing of red rose petals, allll over the assembled crowd. Not everybody gets it - many people think it's an elaborate sign of goodwill - but our favorite XO understands: It's a declaration of war.

Now, for most people, that would be good enough. Ms. Delphine, however, is not the type to settle for "good enough." Let's step back a bit and look at two other characters, for the uninitiated: Lord Dio and Alex Row.

Dio is another Guild member, Delphine's brother, and an extremely skilled Vanship pilot... but he's kind of out of touch with reality. While not quite so bad as his sister, he doesn't think anything of putting lives in danger for his own amusement. While he treats the subject of his sister with just a little more restraint, the only time he really gets ruffled is when someone infringes on his Dio-centric world and refuses to play his games. (His attendant and navigator, Luciola, doesn't even bother trying to control him so much as occasionally make sure he doesn't get himself killed.)

Alex is a brilliant airship commander, not that he seems to care much about it. Or about anything. It's rare for him to show any emotion, or even to talk outside of giving orders, bar a few dry remarks when he feels like it or extenuating circumstances. A relatively recent battle with an ex-ally of his, in which he was taking on about five other airships at once with the Silvana, served to change his expression from perpetual disinterest to something more like depression.

Then Maestro Delphine shows up, begins her rose-petal shower, and both of them freak out. To the best of my memory, the scenes go as follows:

Aboard Dio's vanship, where Dio is having fun ad-libbing dangerous maneuvers without telling anyone else, when a rose petal hits his helmet -
Dio: [eyes, if anything, go even wider] AUUUUUUUUGGHH!
Luciola: ?
Dio: SHE'S HERE! SHE'S HERE! DELPHINE HAS COME FOR ME!
Luciola: Sir, please calm down!
Dio: LET'S RUN AWAY! LET'S RUN AWAY! LET'S RUN AWAY!
(After almost losing control for a while, he flies back to the Silvana. Now.)

And aboard the Silvana, Alex receives a slightly confused report of a cloud of rose petals outside the ship...
Alex: Rose petals... [snaps head up, eyes wide] FLANK SPEED! ALL HANDS TO BATTLE STATIONS!
(He then tries to give the order to shoot the whole thing down, despite there being quite a few people down beneath it, not least the woman who is both his old XO and the new empress. One of his officers barely manages to talk him down, leaving him growling and squeezing the voice pipe so hard it almost looks like he could break it.)

Bad news.

was that just before the obi/vader duel in a new hope?Why, yes so it was. :)

[The Dog]

Tai Lung from Kung Fu Panda.

Technically we see him before his "entrance", but the first time we actually get to see him in action is pretty much the epitome of badass. You can see why they had decided to build a prison for the sole purpose of holding him.

[maria hill]

the best of the best is dark vador arriving in STAR WARS II with the music of John Williams. it's very melodramatic and exciting.
:evilsmile:

[Toku King]

Seriously, nobody's going to mention this?
3:57 onward is the best villain entrance in television history. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=9SWb481SW5E&feature=related)

[frostedone]

When Darkseid gets resurrected in the end of JLU and blows up the ship.


In Alien when the chestburster comes out of Kane's chest as someone else said.

[HectorP]

Gonna go with a movie classic and say Darth Vader.

[Siriel]

Not the best ever, but...

Bankotsu from Inuyasha. The first time you see him, he's trying to write a death threat to the guy who killed him.

Not really threatening? Admittedly, not.

And then, all the new villains of that story arc show up and ask him what they should do next.



Also, Haou Judai.

"Is that a challenge? I'll accept it."

[Ant Crown]

The Toho villain's had a ton of great entrances. Godzilla's first full appearance, Ghidorah's birth, the Green Gargantua, Rodan, etc. all had great "oh crap!" entrances.

Personal Fav. Ghidora's Official Entrance in Final Wars.

[Toku King]

Nobody seems to remember this classic movie, but I'm putting Max's entrance in "Cats Don't Dance" up there. His whole appearance just screams "HOLY CRAP!" to the point of perfection.

Starts at 7:34. (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jj_o2W_UeiY&feature=related)

vegeta in one of the dbz movies,breaking an iceberg/ice mountain in half with him inside it!

wtf? still pretty cool though.

Wow, this was the first one I thought of and I was sure nobody else would remember it.

Son of a....

Hmm, even though he only showed up to help Goku because he wanted to be the one to kill him?

[Siriel]

That's what he claimed.

It should be pretty obvious to everyone that after the Frieza saga, the only reason he claimed that was his pride.

Beside, he said 'defeat', not 'kill'.

Funny thing...

Each time I go to read subs of Toku I read 'Defeat' and the hero goes off and destroy's the guy.

Depends on the Translation I guess.

[The Once And Forever]

That's what he claimed.

I'd say his entrance as Majin Vegeta is suitable.

Killing hundreds and such.

[Siriel]

I didn't really see anything impressive in that.

Nappa destroyed a city, and that was like..three story arcs earlier.

[The Once And Forever]

I didn't really see anything impressive in that.

Nappa destroyed a city, and that was like..three story arcs earlier.
It was more because of the shock value than anything else. It was one thing when Vegeta killed bad guys with ease, but these were just normal people out to see the most famous tournament in the world.

I wouldn't have been impressed if he destroys a random planet to prove that he's back to bad, but he took out innocent people, it was jarring.

[Demon wizard]

I'm going to have to say femto and the rest of the God hand. I almost cried during the eclipse.

[GrampaGen]

Super Perfect Cell's return to the battlefield.

The Z fighters all mourn for the passing of their hero, and lament that his little turd of a son dicked around and choked when it came time to step up.

Then suddenly, Trunks gets shot in the chest.

Cold.

[1505627]

i find dan phantom's and the predalien's entrence's pretty good.

enel's entrence was pretty sweet too.abo and kado had a decent first appearence.
i also enjoyed when itachi first came face-to-face with naruto.

[Guy1]

Abarekiller's first appearance was great.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y_3qivso1k
He then spends the rest of the episode kicking the crap out of the Abarangers.

[shadowsetaq28]

Frieza
Vegeta and Nappa
Joker TDK bank scene R.I.P Heath Ledger.
Evil Dead the evil tree attack
I.T

I can go on.

[FistofIron]

Anyone remember the main villains entrance in Iron Monkey?

[mailedbypostman1]

Technically not an entrance, but Fujita breaking the random guy's back in FIst Of Legend was pretty cool.

[Stretch Dude]

Uh, video got removed.

A) It was posted back in November.

B) The guy's been banned.

This is why I'm against thread necromancy.

[theardri]

Jar Jar Binks...... most destructive force in Movies (well he is responsible for destroying my love of Star Wars)....

Ok Seriously a lot have said it

Vader. That to a 6 or 7 year old me was a moment of "who is this?"

The Balrog. The Shaking of the ground then the flaming foot, then the whole damned demon!

[Ant Crown]

Anyone remember the main villains entrance in Iron Monkey?

Yeah.

Pretty much took the Govener's Seat and Wives effortlessly.

[Dark Soul # 7]

While they're not antagonists pers se yet, you'd be a fool to think that the next time they cross paths with the Starwhats there won't be any conflict.

With that said, allow me to introduce The Supernovas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa1ZQ0kxwpM).
