[C.O-EDITS]

Denzel has now appeared twice on your channel. You gotta do a video on his portrayal of Frank Lucas from American gangster

[LycanVisuals]

Gladiator II as a sequel really shouldnt exist but I went to see Denzel and wasnt disappointed.

[SpammytheHedgehog]

"KING KONG AIN'T GOT SH*T ON ME!!" *- Denzel Washington*

[TetsuShima]

Lucius after killing Macrinus: "Now I am the emperor of Rome!!!"
Elagabalus and Alexander: "Something seems off here..."

[lewiscook]

I know he was the villain and had no chance of winning, but I was rooting for Macrinus all the way. He was by far the most compelling character in this movie and Denzel's performance was absolutely magnetic.

[WyattDucar]

Perfect timing, Gladiator 2 Is both cool and a fun movie to watch (I don’t really care about the historical inaccuracies I just want to enjoy a film.) and Denzel Washington kills it in the movie as Macrinus.

Here are ideas for villains that need to get Analysis Evil videos.

1. The Prophet of Truth from the Halo Series
2. Fire Lord Sozin from Avatar the Last Airbender
3. Spec Ops: The Line either Martin Walker or Colonel John Konrad.
4. The Qu from All Tomorrow’s
5. Tartarus from the Halo Series
6. Kratos from the God of War series
7. Colonel J. Wesley McCullough from The Planet of the Apes series.
8. Sentinel Prime from Transformers One
9. Megatron from Transformers One
10. Two Face from the Arkham Series
11. The Joker from the DCAU

ANALYZING EVIL 😈 GEORGE COSTANZA FROM SEINFELD

[erikschellinger]

Analyzing Evil: Frank Underwood (House of Cards), Ben Wade (3:10 to Yuma), Peter Baelish/Littlefinger (Game of Thrones), Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola - Bram Stroker's Dracula), Enoch Thompson (Boardwalk Empire), Colonel Tavington (The Patriot), Jimmy Conway (Goodfellas), Nicky Santoro (Casino), Frank Sheeran (The Irishman)

[DamningTooth]

Hope to see these covered some day:

- Joe Cooper (Killer Joe)
- Nino Brown (New Jack City)
- Jake "The Muss" Heke (Once Were Warriors)
- Spider-Man 3 villains (Sandman and Venom)
- more James Bond villains
- Dr. X (from the Operation: Mindcrime albums by Queensrÿche, would be your first concept album villain huh??)

[kendallchristoun]

That was a good sequel despite the criticism. Thulsa Doom from the Conan 1982 film would be another cool choice to analyze.

[Rubber_Monkey]

Suggestions for potential “Analyzing Evil” installments:
- Kylo Ren in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
- Gaston in Beauty and the Beast
- Steele in Balto
- Grimmel the Grisly in How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World
- Shadow Weaver or Horde Prime in She-Ra and the Princesses of Power
- Naraku in Inuyasha
- The Chimera Ant Arc in Hunter x Hunter
- Kludd in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole
- Arcane Season 2
- Hugh Ransom in Knives Out

Macrinus was a great villain because of how petty he was, that guy really wanted to be a hater

[jasongreathouse]

I still haven’t seen Gladiator 2 but I think I’ll have to see it now after this! But again Vile I would love to see one on my favorite movie The world of “Black Swan.” The pressure and darkness put on its protagonist Nina Sayers that drivers her to self destruction.

[Arcananine]

My four favorite suggestions:
- Analyzing Evil: Park Yeon-jin from The Glory
- Analyzing Evil: Suguru Kamoshida from Persona 5
- Analyzing Evil: Frank from Once Upon a Time in the West
- Analyzing Evil: Thor Gundersen aka "The Swede" from Hell on Wheels

Suggestions for villains I'd love to see featured...
1) Tong Po (the *Kickboxer* franchise)
2) Miranda Priestley (The Devil Wears Prada)
3) Lord James "Destro" McCullen & the Iron Grenadiers (the *G.I. Joe* franchise)

[Nicholas_Chen_]

Now do Geta and Caracalla these guys are absolutely hilariously evil I had so much fun watching them being so over the top 😂

[danielsantiagourtado]

"You will be my instrument!" macrinus. All you need to know about him. Always selfish

[ParisWilson-lj]

Another well done understanding of a character in the movie GLADIATOR 2 i loved it as always, i was wondering when someone was going to break things down with the character Macrinus, Denzel was great and really believable because i totally forgot that it was Denzel Washington. 'LOVED IT'

[itschris]

Great video! I was waiting for him. I’ve compiled a listen of characters I hope you do eventually. Love this channel!
