I'm thinking about all of the villians who, when they're finally defeated, your heart breaks a little. Maybe they were wayward, or misunderstood, or deceived, or something else that made us sort of root for them when we know we shouldn't. But in Blade Runner [SPOILER ALERT] there is a villian I didn't root for at all during the film, and yet his final act before dying changes the viewers entire perception of him. Roy Batty, a replicant (cyborg), simply wanted to live longer than his programmer wanted. The final scene where he holds a pigeon, marveling at natural life and wishing he could be human is marvelous screenwriting.
There are so many villains that I love to hate! For this one though, I am not only going to go with a villain that is menacing, but also because of the complexity of the character and how well the actor was able to explore those complexities.
James McAvoy did a fantastic job Kevin Wendell, who was the villain in Split. Playing a character with extreme multiple personality disorder is challenging to begin with. But McAvoy's ability to convincingly play out innocent, fearful, calculating, and purely evil personalities in the way that he does was well done.
I think my favorite villain would be Tommy Lee Jones in The Mechanic Resurrected. It’s so different than his normal roles but he does it well. The flamboyant personality of the arms dealer coupled with his respect for the Mechanic in the end is an unexpected good balance.

Kevin Wendell from Split is my final choice.
Chris coming strong out of the gate!
Ooh that’s an excellent choice. I’m going with that one too.
My favorite is Ultron. James Spader did an excellent job.
And now I'm gonna have to watch that one again. 😁

And the winner is, Chris Bottoms with Split. Congratulations, Chris, you get to choose Monday's question.
Knew he was a creep at American Beauty. 🤮
Still loved Baby Driver, The Negotiator, and lots of others.
