I don't see Vlad as a villain. He was known as being cruel, but always fair and honest. He was popular... but he had powerful enemys, so it's obvious that at least a part of this demonizing is only propaganda.

He never impaled anyone that didn't have it coming?

Level 27
Sep 16, 2012
I don't know... but he is famous for being a villain, althought I'm sure he wasn't that bad for his time (compare him with the emperor of Austria-Hungary and the osman sultan, his enemys).

he's a national hero in Romania. He was a bit ruthless and perhaps a touch crazy but he also defended his country against the Turks. The impaling thing was most likely meant to scare his enemies and it worked.

People are perfectly happy to accept Kanye West as a villain, but wanna dispute Vlad? LOL! Vlad was a monster. And no, he wasn't fair either. Apparently, one time he invited lots of poor people to a big feast. He then shut all the doors and had them all burnt alive. As a way of dealing with poverty... I wouldn't really call this progressive. :)

See, now we just need a "Vlad the Impaler: Vampire Hunter" blockbuster to redeem his name and explain his impaling and pyromaniacal tendencies.

There's quite a good Romanian film about Vlad Tepes. You can watch it on YouTube.

I like it, plattitude, I like it. Vlad the Impaler is actually the guy who inspired the story of Dracula, interesting, hmm?

@smartcookie, yeah, I knew that. Which makes the idea of him being a vampire hunter more ridiculous than Lincoln being one. But only very slightly.

All I can figure out is that Romanians still have a touch of societal PTSD. And bye the bye, people thought Hitler was pretty ducky in 1933.

I don't know how he compares with other rulers at the time, but impaling was a common practice at the time, also found among methods on offer by Austrian executioners.

In the description of this quiz you said, "Say what you will about Dick Cheney, at least he never impaled anyone." True, but Harry Whittington might not agree that Cheney is totally harmless.

Vlad was known for employing "Scorched Earth" tactics to defend against the Turks. This meant massacring all the villages on the road to Transylvania and poisoning the water sources to starve the Turkish army.

Call me a prude, but defending your people by butchering the fringes of your own society is not really in keeping with a "good and just leader".

I think it's bloody stupid. He's not in the same league as any of the others.

I don't know; I think a valid argument could be made for comparing Kanye to, say, Wile E. Coyote.

Level 65
Sep 26, 2019
Wiley coyote is just very hungry, but not clever enough to catch his food. You could make a case saying that roadrunner is more mean, because he keeps taunting him, and is the cause of quite a few injuries on the coyote's end.

Oh, come on, guys. Kanye West is the perfect supervillain for the United States. He riled the Republicans with his comments on George W. Bush, he distressed the Democrats with his strange love for Donald Trump, and he even angered the apolitical teenage girls with his Taylor Swift incidents. What more could you ask for?

And btw an always best-selling villain (he's in the top (around) 10 of every evil movie character list): The man who shot Bambi's mother :'(
+4
Level 75
May 14, 2015
He was probably tired of deer running into his cars, totaling them. I used to be sympathetic to Bambi and his mom, now I kind of think it's me or them and I'd much rather have Bambi's mom in my freezer than stuck in the grill of my car. Feel free to add me to your list of villains.

Kanye West has apparently been on this quiz for nearly six years. I think it is funny that year after year, he continues to add reasons why he belongs.

I think that every single answer I've seen that asks for a James Bond movie (other than quizzes that are solely James Bond) has been Goldfinger. Lucky me, because I always guess Goldfinger first.

You should accept Elphaba Thropp for the Wicked Witch of the West. That's her name.
+1
Level 77
May 23, 2018
Agree Elphaba should be accepted. With Wicked being around for as long as it has been running on Broadway (currently 7th longest in history, it'll be 6th longest in July 2018), the Wicked Witch of the West is known by many now as Elphaba.
+1
Level 76
Feb 10, 2019
Disagree, unless you consider Elphaba to be the villain of Wicked, as that name is exclusive to the book and musical. In the original book (and the movie, which the clue is referencing), she has no given name.

Maybe accept "Gay Fish" for Kanye? No? Okay...

People knew Morgana/Morgan le Fay the least? Really?
+2
Level 86
May 20, 2018
She's not the most popular part of the Arthur legend, at least not these days. People know Arthur and Merlin (they were in a Disney movie!) and probably Lancelot and Guinevere, but not much beyond that. I got it because I read The Once and Future King in high school, and I still sort of remember it. But unless you're in a group of literature/mythology buffs, yeah, I would absolutely expect her to lose out to pretty much everybody else on this list.

I knew her from the TV show, "Merlin".

Take a deep breath, man. His inclusion on the quiz was done tongue-in-cheek.

Oh man, my eyes had just scanned the quiz featured above this one on things starting with D, so I was trying to guess all the answers as villains starting with D. Got the first one, then it all went downhill...

Kanye West a villain on the same par as Joffrey and actual murderers and monsters ... Dude, come on. He's a prick of the highest order but that doesn't make him a villain.

Bah I was close with some, jango django dingo ringo for the dog (so there must have been some knowledge about it somewhere, to similar to be random), and boot(s) for booth, and grubel for gruber, apparently I must have somehow attained something there aswell, because it wasnt apparently something totally made up by me ( which I thought) but nearly right!

Vlad the Impaler never ruled Transylvania, he ruled Wallachia. He was probably born in Transylvania but does that make him a Transylvanian ruler?

For example Catherine the Great was born in Prussia but I can't recall anyone calling her a Prussian ruler.

I'm going to defend Cujo, because he was a dog, and it was bad luck that he got bitten; also Judas, since someone had to betray Jesus in order for the story to play out - I think Judas gets too much hatred. If he hadn't done it, Jesus and Mary Magdalene might have lived out their quiet suburban lives, and the Easter bunny would be out of a job.
