Otakus care about moe & harems, rather than meaningful plot. Main-stream anime was, is, and forever will be asinine Shōnenshit.
The market is geared towards the demand.

You can only measure how 'iconic' something is a good time after it is out. Anything may look iconic when it comes out, but is later forgotten. So you'll only be able to say what is iconic about this decade during the next decade or so.

Most of the villains in the very notable shows seem to be more environmental. The world, or society, or zombies. Probably a reflection of the nebulous nature of most modern problems. There's not really any individual who could be killed or defeated to make the world a better place, and even our diseases have less singular ability to cure than when it was just bacteria or viruses
>>
There's too much over saturation of mostly short running anime to get a Joker or Darth Vader tier villain.

Because anime and manga or most medium in general is now a great big shitshow of idolizing females. I mean how many anime where you see non macocistic anime girls get beaten up senselessly with various bruises on their body? Less than one.

He had a good reason to be evil, had a good plan, everything went according to keikaku, was only defeated by the power of bullshit plot armor.
I think he's going to survive the test of time. Then again dragon ball is popular so with that brand alone he won't be forgotten.

There is also full copypasta Uchiha Madara but I didn't watch that far so I don't know how he works as a villain.

Guy on the right is the greatest anime villain of the 2010s, you know why? He fell from grace and became a tragic hero, devouring his own friend in order to attain a faustian mindset that would launch him into worldwide fame. He rampaged and destroyed temples in order to prove the nihilistic and anarchistic point of view of his mindset. Sacrificing his family, time, and reputation in order to prevail in his ambition of destroying all the change everything. And he got away with it.

Vark Vikernes is my favorite anime character.

you know, i'm starting to think that Japan isn't as good at making funny yet treatening villiains as the west is, just imagine an anime like Konosuba in wich the main character travel in a fantasy land but that fantasy land is always threatened by an evil dark lord, in anime we don't get to see this dark lord but they keep building him up, and keep building him up... and keep building with no pay off, just imagine if the main villiain is saw since the first episode and he (or she) keep making appearances through the series, i ensure you that the villiain will be more memorable that a build off-never pay off villiain.

I think I found the problem. We won't be able to tell who is actually iconic and who is flavor-of-the-month garbage until more time has passed. Try asking about iconic 2010's villains again in 2027.

why have edge when we can have cute girls doing cute things instead?
>>

Because that's the cancer that's killing anime. Cute girls need to be used like salt. You don't make soup out of salt.

>He never read the old Norse story of Brynhildr the virgin maiden who had superhuman strength as long as she remained a virgin
You really shouldn't pretend to know things.
>>
I feel like in anime or manga an villain is hardly a "villain" in the western sense of bad guy from superhero comics, unless it's an obvious otherwordly inhuman thing set to annihilate universe or something. Most of the time they try to build some sympathy towards the villain until he eventually becomes an antihero or even a sidekick, working tohether with main cast to overcome ever bigger threat.
>>
>>158840087
what the fuck does that even mean and you do put salt in soup for flavor.. and by that logic an edgy series with cute girls would be good
