It's Halloween today and what better way to celebrate it than with a villainous blog post to close off Villain's Month with? Before you all go off trick-or-treating tonight, join me as we delve into one way that villains really make their mark in the world of media. And that way is through music. Heroes often have a grand musical number but the villains are no slouches in that department either. They can either be the best song of the movie/musical/whatever media it is or the

This movie was a long time coming for DC fans and especially its star, Dwayne Johnson. Black Adam stands as the 11th instalment in the DC Extended Universe line of superhero movies and is not just any other DCEU movie. This was a huge passion project from Dwayne Johnson with him expressing over the years how enthusiastic he is about the idea of playing the character in a movie one day and as far back as November 2007, the idea was starting to formulate but ultimately, it woul

Continued from Part 1. Number 5: AUTO from WALL.E From one Pixar villain to another, AUTO remains one of Pixar's most fascinating characters they've ever created for me. AUTO is the autopilot to The Axiom, the ship that all the humans now live on after abandoning Earth to its fate after it became too polluted and overrun by garbage to inhabit. He is by far one of the most unique looking villains ever created with this fantastic design that evokes a steering wheel to a pirate

Welcome back to Villain's Month my viewers! And I've got a deviously wicked post for you today! Last week, I counted down the Top 10 Disney Animated Villains. Here, we're still talking about Disney Villains...but with a twist. Taking inspiration form AniMat and his own videos on the matter, this list is a countdown of what I consider to be the Top 10 Best Disney Villains in media outside of their main animated canon. This can include the works of Pixar, Disney's cartoon shows

Continued from Part 1. Number 5: Ursula from The Little Mermaid Not only is Ursula on the list for being one of Disney's greatest villains, but this entry also serves as a tribute to Pat Carroll, the voice of Ursula who sadly passed away back in July 2022 at the age of 95. Her performance made this character a legend amongst animated villains and she will be missed. RIP Pat Carroll... So let's honour her passing by talking about arguably her most famous role ever and why Ursu

AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!!! Greetings readers! I'm the Media Man and I welcome you to Villain's Month here on themediamanblog! There are many things people can say about the Walt Disney Company. Some of it's great, some of it's...not so great. But we are all united under one belief: that Disney's animated films are some of the greatest pieces of entertainment ever created from legendary movies to cult classics and modern triumphs. Disney has something for everyone no ma

Written by Captain Conroy Everyone has their number one character/franchise that means so much to them – if you’ll pardon the pun given what today’s subject is about. I too can relate to this as I’ve been in and out of many different franchises, but there’s one particular one that has always stuck with me. One I have never been out of, one franchise where its main character is more to me than a fictional character, but a dear old friend and the world he lives in is one where

If there's anything that my home country of the UK knows what to do, it's make people's childhoods. In the world of media, there's all sorts of iconic children's media coming from the world over, and a lot of the most iconic pieces of children's media just happen to come from the UK. I guarantee that for these pieces of media, it's not just us Brits that grew up with them as children. Some countries outside of the UK have experienced a TV show, a book or a film that was made
