Netflix challenges fans to name a better villain than Heath Ledger’s Joker. Indians name Gabbar, Mogambo

Netflix on Wednesday played a game on Twitter, challenging fans to name a better villain that Heath Ledger’s Joker, from the Dark Knight. “Name a better villain. I’ll wait,” the streaming service tweeted from the official Netflix Film account, alongside a video from the film which showcases the best Joker moments from the film.

Several Twitter users responded to the question, with suggestions ranging from Javier Bardem’s Anton Chigurh, from No Country for Old Men to Donald Trump. “My ex,” one person wrote in a tweet that got close to 2000 likes.

Another person simply tweeted a GIF of Tom Hiddleston’s Loki, to which Netflix replied, “If by ‘villain’ you mean perfection, sure.”

Other replies include the T-Rex from Jurassic Park, Darth Vader from Star Wars and Thanos, from Avengers: Infinity War. Indian fans chimed in with Crime Master Gogo, Gabbar Singh and Mogambo, from Mr India. You can check out more replies here:
