Animated Villain Voice Actor Popularity Contest

Alright, let's get this thing going.

It's first to ten votes, or whoever has the most within 48 hours.

I'll keep nominations open until the end of the first.. maybe until the second match-up.. then fill any open slots that happen to remain.

Here's the first match-up of Round 1:

Chris Ayres

VS.

Michael Ansara

@jedixman@saintwildcard@stormdriven@kairan1979@Penguin-Dust@teefurtree@majin77@jloneblackheart@peterparkerjr@life_without_progress

Little Kur- I meant, Chris Ayres

Chris Ayres

Ansara.

Ansara

Ansara.

Michael Ansara

Ansara.

Michael Ansara

@life_without_progress: No, you had it right. Little Kuriboh stomps.

Hmm..

It's tough rating Ansara's performance since it wasn't that expressive, but you could say it was a good fit for Freeze..

BUMP

Last bump, before I start the next round in a few hours.

Ansara.

Michael Ansara wins 7-3

Round 1, Match 2:

Jonathan Adams

VS.

Christopher Collins

@jedixman@saintwildcard@stormdriven@kairan1979@Penguin-Dust@teefurtree@majin77@jloneblackheart@peterparkerjr@life_without_progress@redsayn@blacklegraph@marc_55@cosmic_templar

Not sure if I should make this a bracketed tournament or straight-up elimination.. What do you guys think?

@gunmetalgrey: I think elimination tends to attract more attention.

OT: Adams.

@gunmetalgrey: Straight elimination.

Also, Christopher Collins

Damn it, tough one. I'll go Adams

Collins......

Adams.

Adams, his Kang is just ?.

Adams.

Definitely Adams.

Jonathan Adams

Adams

Collins. Those characters and his voice is ingrained in my childhood.

Double elimination!

Interesting, I like Adams' Kang, but I thought Collins' OG Cobra Commander and G1 Starscream were iconic. I guess it's a generational thing.

Nominations will be closed by the end of this match. Any empty slots left will be filled in arbitrarily from a shortlist I've come up with.

Adams wins 8-4.

Can't believe Collins is out this soon.

Round 1 Match 3:

Tom Kane

VS.

Michael Ironside

Ironside is certainly a class act (especially as Sam Fisher/Splinter Cell), but looking at his overall body of work as a villain (he also played Magneto and Boba Fett), I have to vote for Tom Kane.

@Penguin-Dust: Yeah, I think Ironside did a good job as Darkseid, but there are only a few villain voices in my mind that are as memorable as Him.

Michael Ironside

Huh.. Did the tags not work?

@jedixman@saintwildcard@stormdriven@@teefurtree@majin77@jloneblackheart@peterparkerjr@life_without_progress@redsayn@blacklegraph@marc_55@cosmic_templar@just_sayin@judasnixon

Sorry for the double tag if they did.

Tom Kane.

The first tag didn't work for me. Anyway my pick is Kane because nostalgia.

Ironside.

Ironside.

I love Tom Kane I really do. He's done so much VA work that I'd even consider the the male Tara Strong. So the urge to choose him out of nostalgia is strong. However, from H.I.M. (ppg) and Ultron, almost all of his best voice work are as protagonists or supporting roles - Professor Utonium (PPG), Yoda, The Narrator (Star Wars the Clone Wars), Darwin (The Wild Thornberrys), Mr. Herriman, etc. However, Ironside's Darkseid is a class act all on its own.

Damn it. I'll side with Ironside.

Ironseid

It's difficult for me- I'll side with Ironside (Darkseid all the way), but Tom King is extremely close.

Kane

Ironside

Tom Kane

Bump.

This is the closest match yet. Any last minute votes before I start the next match in a couple of hours?

Ironside.

Michael Ironside wins 8-6
