Favourite villain quotes?

[Huntsman Spider]

I might as well give the context.

In context, the Five Elders (who as the presumed highest authorities in the World Government have long been the Greater Scope Antagonists in One Piece - part of the worldbuilding, but not the main antagonists of the current arc until recently), have invaded Egghead Island to stop Dr. Vegapunk from transmitting a message that would reveal forbidden knowledge about the history of their world. Rob Lucci of the intelligence agency Cipher Pol tells the Elder Markus Mars just what has been happening and where everyone is.

The whole island is currently being attacked by a Buster Call - a bombardment by the Marines that is designed to eventually burn an entire island to the ground. Lucci asks the Elder to save fellow Cipher Pol agent Kaku, who was injured earlier. Markus Mars' response (quoted above) makes it clear that he does not really care about the people below him, including those who work for the World Government such as Cipher Pol. They are all just insects to the Elders, beneath their notice.

The Elders have no concern about collateral damage, and this is far from the first time they have ordered a genocidal action. The Island of Scholars, Ohara, was destroyed by a Buster Call because the Scholars were uncovering forbidden knowledge about the Void Century. The Elders, for reasons of their own, do not want the rest of the world to know about the Void Century and its history, and will stop at nothing to keep it hidden.

Thanks for sharing. That line really does sell just how horrifying that kind of villainy really is.

"You see, as king, you must find the good in any situation." Patrick McGooghan's Edward Longshanks in Braveheart, commenting on how if William Wallace negotiates with the Princess of Wales (his daughter-in-law), all well and good, but if he murders the Princess, Longshanks will be able to enlist the aid of France against Wallace.

"The trouble with Scotland.....is that it's full of Scots!"

It's the delivery that makes the line so good.

Yeah, both of those were great and completely drove home who this dude is.

That's a movie where I could make the case that every major character is a villain. Well, except for the priest. But everybody else.

Indeed. Hell, you could argue that the entire system or social structure that allows for such a horror show to go on in the first place is the ultimate villain . . . except systems and social structures don't get lines, much less quotable ones.

All great ones. I'll toss one in, too.
