User blog:ARTaylor/August 2016 Poll Results

Another poll wraps up as another month comes to a close. Last month we asked which animated film villain was the best. There were plenty of options but one came out the clear winner.




 * 1) It wasn't even close as Ultron of Next Avengers: Heroes of Tomorrow came in first with 58.3%. Of all the film villains, the robot was the most successful as it killed all but two of the world's superheroes. Upon its initial introduction, Ultron has maintained a high profile status as one of the Avengers' most fearsome villains. It also helps it was the main villain of the most recent Avengers live-action film.
 * 2) Getting 25% was Yokai of Big Hero 6. He is an original character in Marvel's first theatrically released animated film. The twist of his true identity plus the dynamics of his character quickly established him as one of the most fearsome villains in not only Marvel films but Disney's as well.
 * 3) A tie with 8.3% was Red King of Planet Hulk and Technovore of Iron Man: Rise of Technovore. The diabolical dictator is a faithful adaptation of the briefly-seen villain. Technovore is a relatively new villain in the comics and has been seen briefly in recent animated series.
 * 4) Getting no votes were Satan of Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned, Herr Kleiser of Ultimate Avengers, Manarin of The Invincible Iron Man, and Dormammu of Doctor Strange: The Sorcerer Supreme. Satan, based on the comics figure of Mephisto, is the epitome of evil but was part of the rarely seen and not-well received feature that was Marvel's first. Kleiser was also briefly seen, only making a few appearances in the Ultimate universe. Mandarin and Dormammu were powerful villains though they appeared in films that were not as well received as the others from that time.

There are plenty of ideas that get tossed around for the direct-to-video animated features, and sometimes the producers of the films let their ideas become public. Check out this month's poll to vote for your favorite idea of those that were revealed: a Black Widow prequel to Ultimate Avengers, sequel to Doctor Strange, X-Men vs Fantastic Four, Deadpool, or World War Hulk.
