100th Post! 10 Top 10 Countdowns.

Just to start off, this will be a hell of a long post. Due to this, I will attempt to be brief in each countdown and will most likely go into further detail as we meet each character, episode or moment in future reviews and character profiles.


Top 10 Batman Villains:

Going into this list, I thought of a few things that would influence my choices. What they've done, their visual appearance and their one biggest "victory" or accomplishment. All this is based off the Batman The Animated series and not other incarnations.

10) Bane

9) Mad Hatter

8) The Riddler

7) Two-Face

6) Mr. Freeze

5) Catwoman

4) Harley Quinn

3) Poison Ivy

2) Scarecrow

1) The Joker


Top 10 Looney Tunes Characters:

A very common factor for characters you will find, is that visual appearance can play a role in my choices. For these characters it's not a major deciding factor, but what is one is the overall character, what they do in their shorts and just how funny I find them.

10) Sam Sheepdog

9) Gossamer

8) Count Blood Count

7) Tweety Bird

6) Witch Hazel

5) Sylvester

4) Bugs Bunny

3) Pepe Le Pew

2) Wile. E Coyote

1) Marvin Martian


Top 10 Animated Movies (Non-Disney, in my collection):

Alrighty. First off, nothing from Disney appears here. Secondly there are at least three movies that should be on this list but aren't, simply because I am going by what I own. If I didn't limit it that way I could sit here all night trying to whittle my list to just 10. Perhaps in time I will be able to separate the anime entries into their own list and update this one.

10) Happily Ever After

9) All Dogs Go To Heaven

8) Fern Gully

7) G.I Joe: The Movie

6) Digimon the Movie

5) Batman Mask of the Phantasm

4) Anastasia

3) Cardcaptors the Movie

2) Secret of NIMH

1) Spirited Away


Top 10 Ghostbusters Ghosts:

The Real Ghostbusters ghosts only. Ones from the movies, while deserving of spots here will perhaps make appearances on future countdowns. Visual appearance, the ghosts powers and just how much of a match they are for the Ghostbusters are all factors in my choices.

10) Stay Puft Marshmellow Man

9) The Dark Entity

8) Marduk

7) Captain Jack Higgins

6) Sandman

5) Boogieman

4) Lord Kildarby and the Bird of Kildarby

3) Big Boo

2) Rall

1) Samhain


Top 10 Darkwing Duck Villains:

Let's get dangerous! Darkwing Duck's villains are rather fun in the way that they quite often are based off of comic book villains, whether it's the obvious Bushroot/Poison Ivy or the perhaps more obscure Moliarty/Mole Man reference these villains are just a lot of fun. Most of these villains though, are a bit hard to take too seriously, though that looks like it's changing with the Darkwing Duck comic series.

10) Moliarty

9) Tauras Bulba

8) Liquidator

7) Tuskernini

6) Bushroot

5) Megavolt

4) Splatter Phoenix

3) Steelbeak

2) Negaduck

1) Quackerjack and Mr. Banana Brain


Top 10 Scooby-Doo Villains: Seasons 1 and 2 of Scooby-Doo Where Are You?

Yes, yes even though the series was a bit laughable and fairly corny, Scooby-Doo still had some rather unique villains. There are though, a few clunker villains who were nothing more than a cliche ghost. But these villains are, in my opinion, among the more visually unique ones even if it turned out to be someone in a mask each time.

10) Werewolf Ghost

9) Black Knight

8) Miner 49er

7) Elias Kingston

6) Creeper

5) Redbeard

4) Mr. Hyde

3) Snow Ghost

2) Zen Tuo

1) Ghost Clown


Top 10 Movie Monsters Non-Human:

Movie monsters! Who doesn't love a good movie monster? Now, in the title what I mean by human is that there won't be Vampires, Werewolves or Zombies found here. Humanoid ones though can be found here and there in the list.

10) Creature from the Black Lagoon

9) Graboids

8) The Thing

7) King Kong

6) Godzilla

5) Jaws

4) Critters

3) Gremlins

2) Predator

1) Aliens


Top 10 Scary Movie Animals:

The majority of the animals found here are living, breathing animals even if most aren't ones we are likely to encounter on a daily basis. Since dinosaurs do technically classify as animals they have been included in this list, but ones such as dragons with purple spots will obviously not be present. One day though a "Fantasy" oriented list may appear.

10) Grizzly: Grizzly

9) The Birds: Birds

8) Piranhas - Piranha

7) Lake Placid: Crocodile

6) Anaconda - Anaconda

5) Jurassic Park: Velociraptors

4) Jurassic Park: Dilophosauras

3) Arachnophobia: Spiders

2) Jaws: Great White Shark

1) Cujo: Saint Bernard


Disney Villain Songs:

Disney! The main rule of thumb for me when it came to this list was if it's one that was memorable enough to me. Some things that factored into this was the scene itself where this takes place, was it visually interesting? Did it help the story along?

10) The Mob Song: Beauty and the Beast

9) Heffalumps and Woozles: Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

8) World's Greatest Criminal Mastermind: Great Mouse Detective

7) Mother Knows Best: Tangled

6) Be Prepared: Lion King

5) Kidnap the Sandy Claws: Nightmare Before Christmas

4) Gaston: Beauty and the Beast

3) I've Got Friends on the Other Side: Princess and the Frog

2) Hellfire: Hunchback Of Notre Dame

1) Poor Unfortunate Souls: The Little Mermaid


Top 10 Saddest Moments in Disney and Pixar:

Disney is, despite being family friendly, quite good at providing the audience with scenes that are just downright depressing. So of course I had to compile a list of the ten saddest moments in the animated canon and Pixar! Get your kleenex ready or just skip over this list if you'd prefer to stay happy :)

10) Toy Story 2: When She Loved Me (song)

9) UP: Married Life Montage

8) Mickey's Christmas Carol: Bob Crachit in the graveyard

7) Brother Bear: Kenai telling Koda the truth.

6) Tarzan: Kala losing her baby in the opening.

5) Dumbo: Baby of Mine (song)

4) The Lion King: Mufasa's Death

3) Toy Story 3: The ending.

2) Bambi: Bambi's mom getting shot.

1) Snow White: Snow White's funeral/the Dwarf's vigil.


This concludes our 100th post and our 10 Top 10's. I hope you enjoyed scanning through the list, please feel free to drop a comment on what you liked (or didn't like) about each list or even supply a list of your own! See something I missed? Let me know and I'll be happy to point out why I may not have added it to a list.

Justice League: Justice on Trial Part 2

When a US submarine goes down in Atlantean territory, the Justice League moves in to help though the surface worlds arrival causes Aquaman to resurface. He informs the heroes that they can take the people off the sub, but must leave it and the weapons aboard behind.

When Aquaman goes to visit the surface world conference, a hired assassin fires a bazooka at the man, critically injuring him. The Justice League comes to his aid as they work to save the man's life and capture the man, Deadshot, forcing him to reveal who it was that hired him.

Believing their leader to be injured, if not dead, Atlantis is taken over by Aquaman's brother Orm. After a quick recovery, both Aquaman and his wife are taken prisoner by the evil brother as he declares that he will destroy the surface world. However, the League comes to the rescue again as they work with Aquaman to stop Orm from using a thermal machine at the Arctic Circle which could flood the world.

Probably one of the better early two-parters, "The Enemy Below" introduces Aquaman and helps to set up his character for his later appearances in both the first two seasons and again in Unlimited. The animation is still pretty good, and we are still in the process of establishing the universe and our heroes place in it.

Justice League: Justice On Trial

Justice League! The first of many DC/Marvel comics to be covered.

One thing about Justice League that I actually like more than say, Batman the Animated series, is that there is a wider abundance of characters. While Batman's show has a great variety of villains, Justice League expands that to include a lot of heroes as well. This will generally start as cameos but soon the roster will expand in the last two seasons.

So, tonight we look at the two parter "In Blackest Night." We start out on a distant planet, Abjuris 5 where there appears to be a trial going on. When the judges call for the guilty party to be present, we find that he has not yet been captured. Since the trial can't go on, they call in the Manhunters, large robots who they send to Earth to capture the criminal. Arriving on Earth, they waste little time in capturing the Green Lantern, John Stewart who hands himself over without a fight.

Sensing something isn't right, Superman, Hawkgirl, J'onn and Flash chase after their friend to help. The rest of the two parter largely follows the trial as Flash defends Green Lantern despite his protests that he and the others stay out of it. On the other side of things, we follow Superman and J'onn while they investigate the oddity of the crime.

It's soon revealed that the Manhunters have set up the hero to draw out the Lantern Corps leaders, enabling them to attack their home planet of Oa to seize the power it holds for themselves. However, the League is on the case and after chanting a catchy rhyme, Green Lantern puts an end to their plans.


Perhaps not one of the best two parter's largely due to how early into the season this aired. Due to this, characters aren't fully developed as they become later on and friendships are still growing. The animation is not quite as good as later seasons, but is still better than some shows released during the same time. Worth a watch for those interested in the series or characters.
