For this Friday Challenge we want you to channel the villain. Dark suits, dark ties, dark shirts, menacing looks, white fluffy lap cats, you know the drill...

I'm going to open this one up to the whole board, so SW&D folks go nuts.

Entries:

This is from 2 months ago so not an actual entry, but I figured I'd share what with the quoted pic


Throwing this one in from a while back:





I'll toss mine in the ring!

Dries Van Noten//Stephan Schneider//Uniqlo+J//Baudoin&Lange




Stone Island
Dior
Prada


Sure this was the other day but there is something mildly villainous about a black turtleneck and black Norwegian Rain Moscow. Wish it was a better photo and not a goofy selfie.




Because one of the quality of a good villain, is to be able to disapear, I'm playing chameleon with a wall :






I think that @bienluienapris is onto something. All true cineasts know that the villains in dark suits, smokings and fancy costumes etc are just showing off. It's the guy in the tan suit that you need to keep an extra eye on, especially in French film. Here I'm channeling my inner Gabriel Byrne, unfortunately I miss the rest of the lineup...


Probably disqualified because these are not from this week, but never posted these on this side and might be good inspiration for teh challenge. Forgive me the indulgence.

They're coming - time to leave:


I've got the gear - but time for one last pic...


...they're not gonna catch us in that...


More of a henchmen at heart, but dress for the job you want



This fit is old but it gave birth to enough gdl villain memes to deserve a post

@kindofyoung 's version

@Dr Huh? 's version


Posting an old pic?

The Original SF Villain.







Ok, then this one may be 10 yo, will do the job



As villainous as I can get on a Monday morning . . .



Hepp!



Inspiration




Man, you guys are killing it...I'll add this one here..taken yesterday with a friend's recent purchase..One of my favorite movies as a teenager.. and I really rooted for the bad guy because the bad guy seemed more principled to me..




My submission:



- Brovsko

^ important life lesson from that movie: if you ever sustain a grievous injury, just hole yourself in your flat for a while with some cigarettes, and all will be fine

Checking out the entries so far, it becomes apparent that MC is very vanilla while SW&D represents The Dark Side.

My vote so far: Beepbop. He looks like a man who can, with a word, make other people take their own lives.
