12 Ruthless Movie Villains Who Lost To Complete Fools

7. The Borg Queen

The Heroes: Picard & Data

Everyone loves Picard - he is noble and distinguished and he made Captain Kirk look like the uncouth, tubby philanderer that we all suspected he was in the first place, but he was never all that convincing when it came to hand-to-hand combat, or situations where he couldn't use his guile to gain the upper hand.

And yet old man Picard was able to resist the irresistible, defying the all-powerful leader of the Borg who seemed for some reason to want to have a sexual relationship with him, or so it is implied despite the worrying logistics of such things.

The Borg Queen should have been an unstoppable force; the very manifestation of her kind, who would have to be defeated armies with a single wave of her part-mechanical arm, and yet she is somehow defeated by an old man ruled by his own commanders to be "unstable" and a fancy reimagining of the Tin-Man from the Wizard of Oz. Not cool.
