What's the stupidest fictional villain you've ever seen?

Not which was the least intelligent, but the most illogical and shoehorned from a writing or plot point of view.

Magneto. I guess the whole point is that he is too blinded by his hate to see he is acting just like the people he despises. But still. Also, in the first X-Men movie his plan was stupid as fuck.

Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness. Original Khan made sense and was great. New Khan made no sense whatsoever.

Loki in the first Thor movie. Which was kind of the point. He was having personal issues, and his plan wasn't supposed to make sense.

Ego from Guardians 2. "Let's just turn everyone else into me" is probably the stupidest plan ever. What a boring universe that would be.

Sauron in Battle of the Five Armies. Erebor is so not worth that much effort. There is no way book Sauron would have expended that many resources on it.

Ego's plan sounds stupid and boring to me, but I think it makes sense for the character. Ultimately he would probably end up bored by the world he created if his plan succeeded, but his various flaws conspire to keep him from seeing that it wouldn't really make him happy.

I feel like I'm probably just asking you to tell me something that's going to make me scream, but...what was movie Sauron doing anywhere near that battle? It's a grudgematch between goblins and dwarves.

In the movie, Sauron was in Dol Goldur, but he was in charge of the orcs. Azog is following his orders, and the troops were sent at Sauron's command. Makes no sense whatsoever.

That was confirmed? What scene was that in? I haven’t watched those movies in years and somehow I have the impression that Azog was running a personal vendetta while the Dol Guldur plot was a separate issue.

.....yet another reason I am truly thankful for never watching those movies.

The original Khan arc was classic Greek tragedy or Shakespeare in space. Into Darkness was Art Bell in space, but without the fun side of the crazy.

The problem for me is that I like it a lot when villain motivations don't really make sense

Depends on why it doesn't make sense. It has to make sense that the motivation doesn't make sense (if that makes any sense). Stupid writing is just annoying. Villains who aren't paying attention and make stupid decisions for stupid reasons I'm fine with.

I think for me it gives it like... a sense of scope?

Like the villain has gotten so big that they're completely past the point of bothering to make sense

IDK, I like it a lot

I'm glad you tried to narrow this down a bit, because real life assholes don't make much sense to me either.

Gizel Godwin from Suikoden V. I could respect him if he just outright said "I pretty much don't give a fuck so kiss my ass" but instead he went all "oh sure I commit genocide for the lulz and distractions and you're opposing me but that basically makes us the same person with the same motives LOLOLOL" I mean... what the left field dog shit? At least Marscal didn't try to pretend he wasn't an asshole.

The Phantom from Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. Aside from his ability to imitate a lovable character, this asshole was a waste of space and a colossal disappointment. Come on! What the fuck is your deal?! "Uh... I have no feelings!.... except when the plot calls for me to pull random fear out of my ass!"

Quercus Alba from Miles Edgeworth: Ace Attorney Investigations. Fuck this guy too. He took an amazing first half of the fifth case, and pissed and shit all over it with his "I HAVE IMMUNITY... oh sure, I'll humor you... I HAVE IMMUNITY KTHXBAI" (repeat ad nauseam) that took over the second half. I would have listed this as one of my favorite games otherwise.

TBH I found Alba amazing because he was very much a case of hanging himself because he got too proud, and let that pride get the better of him. He didn't think anything could be done to break through what he thought was ironclad, so he humored Edgeworth mutliple times... And then stumbled right into ending himself. It was hilarious.

IMO he'd be more amazing if he did that without resorting to the same fakeout for like five hours straight. I couldn't even enjoy the fact that he got taken down by fucking hot dogs of all things.

I know this is beating the mangled remains of a stallion's corpse, but I really hated Lex Luthor from BvS and Joker from SS. On top of just being annoying, nothing they did made any goddamn sense.
