I know they are all bad, but which are the worst and why?
That’s like asking which blizzard is the coldest — they’re all miserable in their own way. But if I had to pick the worst, I’d go with Lorne Malvo and V.M. Varga. Malvo is just pure chaos — he enjoys dismantling people’s lives for sport, like a cat batting around mice. He’s clever, patient, and remorseless, which makes him terrifying. Varga, on the other hand, is a different breed of evil- insidious, manipulative, and more about rot from the inside out. He doesn’t just kill you — he erodes everything you stand on until you collapse, and then he feasts on the remains. Hanzee is up there too — he’s a tragic figure, but once he flips, he’s unstoppable and merciless. Jerry Lundegaard is more pathetic than evil, but his cowardice causes so much unnecessary bloodshed that it’s hard to forgive. Carl and Gaear? Dangerous, sure, but they’re blunt instruments compared to the others. Roy Tillman is awful in a more grounded, real-world way — he’s the kind of bad guy you could encounter, which maybe makes him even scarier. So, worst? Malvo for the sheer predatory thrill of it, Varga for the creeping corruption, and Hanzee for the way his personal pain transforms into a storm that destroys everyone in his path.
What about some of the others like Loy Cannon, Lester Nygaard, The Blomquists, the Fadda crime syndicate and others.
