10 Movie Villains That Were Total Fanboys

10. Kylo Ren - Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Perhaps the single smartest idea in the entire Star Wars sequel trilogy was to make the new primary antagonist, Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), a card-carrying Darth Vader fanboy.

From early on in The Force Awakens, it's made abundantly clear that Kylo is obsessed with Vader, to the extent of even worshipping the melted remnants of his mask.

It's of course worth mentioning that this adoration is only exacerbated by Kylo being Vader's grandson, and throughout the sequel trilogy he desperately attempts to live up to the legacy of Vader's tyranny.

While The Force Awakens perhaps felt a bit too much like a soft-reboot of the franchise, portraying the new Vader figure as a literal Vader fanboy - and an hilariously petulant, anger-prone one at that - made for a clever twist.

Some even went as far as to suggest that Kylo was designed to poke fun at Star Wars fanboys themselves, what with his childish tantrums and initial obsession with the past - that is, until, he decided it was better to burn it all down in The Last Jedi.
