Are there any other villain who can manage to be both funny and threatening at the same time better than Aku?

Of course
I mean I wouldn't say better but on par
Sheev undoubtedly
That's just your waifufaggotry talking
He's jim-crackin'-dandy!
Nope!

"A giant stone samurai....really?"
Nope. Aku is simply the best.
I could give you a list of examples where I found Dominator to be both funny and intimidating but that wouldn't actually accomplish anything so I'm not bothering

This guy
And also, not really a villian, but the Wolf Boss from Kung Fu Panda 2

When the fuck was she funny?
Holy shit wanderfags are delusional
He's worth an honorable mention, but I think Aku does it better, or at least, equally well.

Don't you fuckers blame Dominatorfags on WoY as a whole, she ruined nearly the entire final season and waifu faggots ruined every single thread.
Haha holy shit I did the newfag thing, sorry, still waking up.
The part where she was telling a joke to robots was pretty funny considering how fucking sad it was, also the part where she pretended to cut Sylvia's head off
I do and will, just like I blame Avatarfags, Zimfags and /frz/niggers for a lot of the crap that’s festered on this board.
best pixar villian
Oh yesssss
Not Yea Forums but Kid Icarus: Uprising's Hades is the only really comparable villain I can think of. Genuinely evil, unquestionably destructive, and his methods will leave you hating him as a person, but he also has the absolute funniest writing and best vocal performance in the game so you can't help but love him as a character.
Just to clarify if we're talking about S1-4 Aku then he's easily better but I'm only saying this because he shat the bed so hard in S5 that it retroactively makes the rest of his character unsatisfying
What exactly did S5 Aku did bad?
I agree. Syndrome was a god-tier villain.
Fuck off, S5 Aku is awesome and holds up the character so well.
"he wuz depressed!! also i hate character development"
ignore anyone who doesn't like season 5 of samurai jack
>he wuz depressed
What
It’s just a gag that he got bored without Jack to fight.
And he was nuanced as well. In some ways he was dead right about supers, but his motivations were immoral and his methods were worse still. A hypocrite with a good point.
S5 of samurai jack was a complete cluster fuck, but aku was by far the best part of it.
>no character arc or payoff
>barely any screentime at all
>has one present-day conversation with Jack which is completely devoid of any sort of tension or really anything that would make a final showdown-type encounter the way it is, a small one when he's torturing him and then he never talks to him again
>can't kill a shitty female lead
>wastes his time fighting a bunch of literal whos instead of just icing them in seconds so we could get an actual fucking final battle with him and Jack
It's amazing how much of a nothing character Aku was in the last season, nothing they introduce for him goes anywhere and there's virtually no satisfying conclusion between him and Jack that takes into account their history and relationship.
As someone who also enjoyed S5, you know that the dude who took over the Aku role was really not very good at all right? They wrote the character well and he was animated well, but that guy is a far cry from Mako
They should have got another jap and not a white guy who cant decide if he wants to sound like Aku or a Mexican half the time.
Fuck off, small time. Any asshole with a smile is better than "Let's turn the voice of Splinter/Iroh EEVIILL"
A challenger appears
You realize Aku came before either of those roles.
*blocks your path*
You kid yourself. even Aku is a better waifu than Dominator
How to spot a zoomer.
Aku is a shitty moustache-twirling stereotype villain. Easily the weakest part of Samurai Jack next to the nigga gangsta-talk thugs and hood speak.
>106134278
Don't even deserve a (you) with bait this weak.
That graveyard fight and the part where he takes on those three gods is what made me realize Aku is really fucking dangerous
When does he fight three gods? You mean the water spirit thing?
Oh you mean when he's still in that primordial evil state.
Ehh I dont think that really counts as Aku though.
It has been so long since I have seen this cartoon, it's aged pretty well
Not funny or intimidating.

>that moment he stops screwing around and goes 100% of his power
This son of a bitch is my favorite villain, period.
he had some great moments
Eggman?
Not Yea Forums but shit you're right.
Nobody fucks withe the senator.
Eh, I don't really find him all that funny, but to each their own.
I thought he improved greatly as the season went on.
>ywn have an Akuwaifu
Send me back to the past already.
>tripfag is a retarded nigger and Jap cocksucker
Figures. The dude did a good job.
Hades is around on par, Aku just has more opportunities to be funny.
what cartoons do you guys watch while being high?
New Beast Wars cartoon when? I need my YES fix.
Can someone edit that third panel? It would be a great reaction image
Agreed. He's someone you can love and hate at the same time.
honestly not all that intimidating, its just the gravity falls cast are pansies. Except for Stan who of course is the only exception by not giving a shit bout bill.
>not intimidating
He's supposed to be essentially iinvincible though.
So's Plastic Man and he's not intimdating at all.
Done.
alternate
Not even close to Aku. He jobs spectacularly at every appearance and he's not even all that funny.
>it is likely he's going to be in another fucking game when bl3 gets inevitably remade
HADES!
That’s some terrifying stuff, old Samurai Jack got real intense at times
He was cool but he got way too one dimensionally evil for my taste. I would have wished if he had more to him than just “lol im evil”
The mario rpgs have nailed bowser’s character. Paper mario 1 is probably peak bowser. Mario oddesy surprisingly did him good as well.

>No way, fag
Why so many Samurai Jack threads lately?
Well if it isn't saucy user.
EVOLTOOOOOOOOOOO
>Remove
Best part is that Jack is completely scared shitless he knows hes absolutely fucked without the sword 0% chance of even putting up a fight. The moment Aku goes from "fun with shapeshifting" to "Ocean of black death" really show just how much bad news AKu really is
>dominator
>as funny as Aku
Yeah user she is hot, yeah user you want to put your did inside her fat green ass but she is not funny.
He was so out of place, everything in metal gear is so dark and serious and then out of nowhere a fucking King of the hill character start kicking Raiden ass.
Nox is a variation of it. He has the threat level very much on it (...arguably even higher than Aku) and he is extremely entertaining to watch.
Not funny in the traditional sence, but his weird mannerisms, speech patterns and wacky movements are a delight to see
That was cute and funny but nowhere near as funny as Aku therapy section, or aku finding out that Jack can "jump high" or almost every time Aku show up
0:15 to 1:13
youtube.com
There was also the part where she nuked the shooting star.
Anyone would be funny when they say wakfu as often and in a voice anything resembling Nox's voice.
She’s less menacing than Marvin the Martian
Blackpilled.
>implying
I'm not gonna try and tell you that she made anyone shit their pants because Wander wasn't specifically geared for older audiences so that's a given, but if you cared about the show at all her song was pretty off-putting given the context. There's a lot of stuff that I think went towards making Dominator genuinely unnerving on occasion, but I like to think it was the general undertone she gave off from being a homicidal maniac that was only on screen when she was doing something that was suitable for airing. Of course, it's perfectly understandable to be put off by her massive autism.
Anyway, Aku wasn't menacing at all, he was a punk bitch and hid from Jack for fifty years.
I found Dominator had more moments that genuinely got a laugh out of me, but I agree that Aku is more entertaining.
>Anyway, Aku wasn't menacing at all,

Aku is terrifying when either not dealing with Jack or Jack doesnt have the sword for some reason. All comedy goes out and he goes straight for the jugular
Aku is a... tree? Huh
That explains all the wooden sounds he makes when he moves.
He's darkness, he just absorbed trees to have a solid body.
>They should have got another jap and not a white guy who cant decide if he wants to sound like Aku or a Mexican half the time.
Did you not realize the guy they got is the same guy who replaced Mako in AtLA?
>tripfag
...oh.
>Green waifubait bitch more menacing than Aku
Opinion disregarded
I know his origin, I just find it interesting that his actual shape is a tree.
He's described as a rose from the Pit of Hate.
>Aku is menacing when he's dealing with randos
Yeah, that's not really hard to pull off, it's just the fact that he could get his ass beat by Jack any day of the week that makes him a lot less threatening in the context of the show. Hell, the only time he ever got a leg up on him was in the graveyard The last episode of S5 too but let's not talk about that one. That's not to say Aku wasn't imposing enough, because he was, he was just never really a threat to the viewer and had to rely on underhanded tactics way too much.
That being said, he was genuinely menacing in the Birth of Evil special, too bad he got fucked up in that one too.
THE STORY BEGINS
mr jobber himself

>That mass laughing
>that sudden silence
Really pushed that it was an army of one.
I am 99% sure the actual line was that he rose from the Pit of Hate, as in the past tense of the act of rising.
he's pretty cool, but no fun at all except for the retarded voice
Thats the whole charm though, you know Jack can always beat him.
But the moment it ISNT Jack or Jack doesnt have the sword Aku suddenly isnt the friendly funnyman demon next door, its horrifying.
The whole fight in S5 finale was stellar though, its just that the resolution as garbage.
That moment Aku goes "okey thats enough of this bullshit" and he turns into a rain of needles that murder everyone is great
Who that, design looks great
Blood Stalk from Kamen Rider Build.
Ah yes, the two S class villains of cartoons. They truly exist in another level.
>Aku is menacing when he's dealing with randos
>Yeah, that's not really hard to pull off, it's just the fact that he could get his ass beat by Jack any day of the week that makes him a lot less threatening in the context of the show
Don't you ever get tired of being wrong?
youtube.com
>Aku doesn't even fight here and the only reason Jack doesn't win is because he pussies out
Yeah nice example dude
>Doesn't even fight out
He's literally using the part of her that is an extension of his body and then manipulating Jack to either surrender or be forced to murder his girlfriend while he laugh manically.
That's why Aku is menacing, he's not just powerful but extremely cunning and sadistic,Jack was with his weakness and still lost. That's what several horror villains like Freddy Krueger,Pennywise and Chucky do, even if you figure their weakness they will quickly adapt.
This sounds like Aku wrote it, all he did was bitch out and let one of his minions do the dirty work. There's nothing commendable about this on his part, it's just more scumbag shit like usual. It's not menacing, it's pathetic.
>threatening
>funny
I mean I'd say Ryuk he's funny and an asshole
He’s okay, but I think the only time i got a consistent laugh was during Statuesque when he get progressively angrier and petty towards you for cutting his statues down, ending with him threatening to build new statues of him kicking you in the dick for annoying him
Where is Eggman? Where the Sonic Boom jokes?
Definitely The Monarch.
This.
There we go. Good choice.
