  • Don't lie, we all watched the trial. But even  when you put that aside, what actor is more  

  • iconic than Johnny Depp? Appearing in films since  the Mid 80s, Depp has had a wide variety of roles  

  • all across the morality spectrum. He's played  heroes, villains and everything in between. But  

  • who of these characters is truly the most  nobleand who is the most reprehensible?

  • I'm Kyle with WickedBinge. Make sure to  grab yourself a mega pint of red wine,  

  • because this is Johnny Depp  Characters: Good to Evil.

  • As usual, we'll be starting off our  list with the most noble character  

  • and working our way downThese characters are The Good.

  • Earning our gold medal of good is Ichabod  Crane from the Tim Burton film, Sleepy Hollow.  

  • Crane is a police constable in the 1790s  who is sent upstate to investigate the  

  • titular town. Crane is looking to find out the  truth behind a myriad of brutal decapitations.  

  • Crane is lambasted for his usage of scientific  methods, especially when people consider that the  

  • killer may be a spirit. Ichabod tries his best to  solve the murder, even taking the orphaned child  

  • of one of the victims under his wing. Ichabod not  only deduces the truth behind someone controlling  

  • the horseman but also deduces the truth the  victims are all linked by a conspiracy. Of course,  

  • all of this turns out to be true and they try  to discredit him. Not only does he return the  

  • skull to a grateful Horseman but he defeats  Van Tassel and saves Sleepy Hollow. Crane  

  • is one of Depp's most heroic characters and  definitely deserves this spot on the list.

  • Taking the silver medal of good is The Mad Hatter  from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Series.  

  • Upon first meeting him, The Hatter becomesmassive asset to Alice's time in Underland.  

  • He is a member of the White Queen's resistance  against the Red Queen after all of his family  

  • is murdered by her people. He helps Alice escape  and hide from the Knave but this causes him to  

  • be captured in her stead. He forms a special  bond with Alice because they are both loners  

  • and outsiders and he does a lot to help her on  her journey. It is also heavily implied he has  

  • some form of Dissociative Identity Disorder, and  both Depp and Burton confirm this was a part of  

  • their initial idea for the character. Despite  being labeled asmadit's also implied that  

  • he grew mad from mercury poisoning that many  hatters suffered a long time ago. Hatter is  

  • one of the most helpful and heroic characters on  this list and definitely deserves his spot here.

  • Taking our bronze medal of good is The Corpse  Bride's Victor Van Dort ranks next on our list. A  

  • young Victorian man in an arranged marriage for  money, Victor is a nervous wreck at the best of  

  • times. Victor ends up in the Land of the Dead  after accidentally proposing to a revenant named  

  • Emily. Now the thing about this is, despite it  being an arranged marriage, Victor and Victoria  

  • do love each other, and Victor tries his best to  let her down easily, and obviously, that doesn't  

  • happen. Throughout all of his time in the Land  of the Dead, he tries his hardest to get back to  

  • Victoria and be with her. He is even willing to  marry Emily and die once he learns that Victoria  

  • is marrying Bittern. He brings up the dead to the  land of the living and reunites people with their  

  • loved ones. In the end, he's even the one who  gives Emily her revenge. Victor is the purest  

  • example of a guy who is trying his best but always  screwing up, it's no surprise he ranks here.

  • The next character on our list is Rango from the  film of the same name. Rango was a pet chameleon  

  • who gets lost in the desert and comes across the  town of Dirt. He was an actor who was great at  

  • telling stories, becoming a legend of the west and  the lizard with no name. He became the sheriff of  

  • Dirt and very quickly let that power get to his  head, despite this, he tries to not only bring  

  • the water back but save the day. He finds out  the truth behind the mayor and tries to convince  

  • everyone of this. Sure, he does end up lying to  everyone and putting a lot of people in danger,  

  • but he was trying his best, and in the endhe managed to save the day, hence his ranking.

  • Coming from 2013's The Lone Ranger, Tonto is  next on our list. Tonto is a native American  

  • from the Comanche tribe who accidentally  led to the death of all of his tribe. Tonto  

  • is implied to have some sort of magical  abilities as he knew about John's power as  

  • a “Spirit Walker”. He even forgesmystical silver bullet believing Cavendish,  

  • the man who killed John to be a beast known  as a Wendigo. It turns out that as a child,  

  • Tonto had saved Cavendish from near-death  out of the kindness of his heart,  

  • leading Cavendish to kill all of his tribe to  keep the location a secret. Tonto deals with  

  • great guilt and wants his revenge, but he does  his best to help The Lone Ranger during his quest,  

  • even telling children the tale of John and his  power. Tonto is a good man who is trying to  

  • atone for the sins he believed he committedso it's no doubt he lands here on the list.

  • The next character on our list is the  titular Sherlock Gnomes from Sherlock Gnomes.  

  • Now as his name implies, he's a garden gnome  version of the popular character Sherlock Holmes.  

  • He appears early on in the film facing his  mortal enemy Moriarty and it becomes clear  

  • that he's very similar to his book  counterpart. He ends up allowing Juliet  

  • and Gnomeo to tag along as he hunts down Moriarty  who he thinks survived their previous encounter.  

  • Sherlock only really cares about his work, even  having broken up with Irene through a letter and  

  • only visiting her for work. He's said to besworn protector of all gnomes but he does cause  

  • some collateral smashing here and there. Sherlock  is intensely intelligent for the most part, but  

  • he's also shown to be prideful and a workaholicbut he's still a good guy for the most part.

  • Rounding out the good bit of our list is none  other than Edward from the titular Edward  

  • Scissorhands. Edward is an artificial ageless  man created by an unknown inventor. Unable to be  

  • finished, Edward has scissors for his hands and is  seen as a sort of scary to those who are unaware  

  • of him. He became popular due to his ability  to give out haircuts to women and dogs alike,  

  • and this led to him becoming friends with Kim  and her family. Sure, he ends up killing Jim, but  

  • it was in self-defense, and he decides to leave  behind everyone so as to not hurt them because of  

  • this. Yes, Edward suffers from not understanding  many social cues or what is the right thing to  

  • do in certain contexts. However, we can't blame  him, due to being stuck in a castle for decades,  

  • it's hard to say if he could have been betterbut he definitely deserves this spot on the list.

  • With the good boys out of the way, we  can move onto the Gray Area of our list.

  • Starting off the gray area of our list is  Barnabas Collins from 2012's Dark Shadows.  

  • Collins was a man cursed to become a vampire  because he didn't love a witch as she loved him.  

  • He was buried for many years and dug up in the  modern era, he is shown to become quite attached  

  • to his modern family and the wonders of the  modern world. He loved a woman named Josette and  

  • has a strong obsession with her that carries over  into the modern day. He tries his best to fit in,  

  • even though he's not used to it, this isn't always  the case, however, because he is shown to have a  

  • strong dislike to anyone who dares betray himHe shows no forgiveness at the worst of times,  

  • especially to the main antagonist, who has  tried to ruin his family. Barnabas is prone  

  • to moments of rage and anger that get the  better of him, but in the end, he's not  

  • nearly as bad a person in this adaptationMuch like previous characters on this list,  

  • he suffers from not knowing how to interact with  people which we can't really hold against him.

  • Up next on our list is Johnny's very first roleGlen Lantz from A Nightmare on Elm Street. Glen  

  • was a seventeen-year-old who lived on the iconic  Elm Street as one of the teens having nightmares  

  • about Freddy Krueger. Glen is part of the  group that witnesses Tina's death by Freddy  

  • and is told by Nancy to wake her in  case she gets pulled into a nightmare.  

  • Glen ends up passing out and Nancy berates him  for it. After being set up for failure pretty  

  • much he ends up killed by Kreuger and never  seen again beyond a massive fountain of blood.  

  • Glen is a typical dull kind of guy who  doesn't know enough to save Nancy or himself,  

  • however, he's not malicious, and if anything  he's not even dumb enough to cause real problems.

  • He's got a jar of dirt, Jack  Sparrow from the Pirates of The  

  • Caribbean series ranks next on our list. Jack  is a notorious and infamous pirate who has many  

  • pirate-related crimes under his belt. He is  said to have an enemy in every port and is a  

  • cross between a piratical genius and a madmanJack is also a drunkard, quite often drinking  

  • rum even during important moments. Despite his  general madness and crazy actions, he is shown  

  • to get serious at times when it's necessarydue to focusing mostly on his intelligence.  

  • Relying on his intelligence he adhered strongly  to the Pirate's Code, the basis for his morality.  

  • We won't be getting into it too much, but  a shortened version includes: every member  

  • of the crew must get a fair portion of the  booty, betrayal is punished by death, killing  

  • a surrendering foe is unallowed and knowingly  sinking other pirates is strictly forbidden.  

  • This shows that despite his rough exterior, his  general silliness, and his crime-based background,  

  • he does have a consistent moral system that he  follows, and he definitely deserves his spot.

  • Coming next on our list is Lord Charlie Mortdecai  from the self-titled Mortdecai. Mortdecai is a  

  • swindler andart dealerwho starts off  the movie accosted by one of his victims.  

  • We learn that Mortdecai and his wife have  crippling debt that needs to be handled, and  

  • an opportunity falls into their lap when a police  officer pressures Mortdecai into helping him with  

  • an art theft case. Mortdecai and his servant Jock  try their best to find out who has the painting,  

  • although he gets kidnapped by people who think  he has it and accidentally leads to the death of  

  • another art dealer named Spinoza. When they find  out that a man named Milton Krampf has it, they  

  • try to steal it, but this goes horribly wrongleading to Strago obtaining the fake painting.  

  • Charlie ends up obtaining therealpainting  and selling it to the people who kidnapped him  

  • earlier, although it is revealed that's another  fake. Mortdecai is a loving husband, but he  

  • is also highly deceptive, despite all this, his  crimes are unimportant at best, hence his ranking.

  • Rounding out the gray area of our list is the  titular Gilbert Grape from What's Eating Gilbert  

  • Grape. Gilbert is the main character of the film  and pretty much the sole caretaker of his younger  

  • brother Arnie. Gilbert also took up the role of  protecting Arnie and repairing the house that  

  • was falling apart, not to mention that his job  has grown to be in danger. It becomes quickly  

  • obvious that he's not really all that great  because he does have an affair with a married  

  • woman and is a direct cause of Arnie's aquaphobia  after leaving him in the bath all night. He ends  

  • up getting close with a woman named Becky, who  also becomes close with the rest of his family,  

  • however, Gilbert's anger gets the better of himHe assaults and beats up his mentally deficient  

  • younger brother, however, he does feel guilty  and appalled by that fact. He does eventually  

  • get forgiven and even forgives his mother for not  being able to provide for her family. He tries  

  • his best, and it's commendable, but he's also  not really the best person, hence his ranking.

  • But now we go down to the worst of  the worst, these are the Bad to Evil.

  • The next character on our list is Willy Wonka from  Tim Burton's 2005 Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.  

  • Wonka is a reclusive, crazed, candy-obsessed  man, who after being betrayed by his employees,  

  • shut down his factory. Wonka is shown to be  erratic, quick to annoyance, and not one to  

  • listen to dissent. However, it is also shown that  he is a good boss and generally a good person.  

  • Sure, his entire chocolate factory seems like  a death trap and it's implied that he might be  

  • leading the children to their doom on purpose, but  we can see he didn't kill anyone. He's even shown  

  • to be quite the good boss when it comes to the  Oompa-Loompas, learning their language, paying  

  • them in the one thing they actually  want, and in one scene you can see  

  • that he even built them homes similar  to the ones in Loompa-Land. That said…  

  • the glaring strike against him is that even though  the kids survived… I mean, he really deformed them  

  • and didn't really seem to careAnd we couldn't  in good conscience place outside the bad section.

  • Beginning the Bad section of our list  is Axel Blackmar from Arizona Dream.  

  • Axel is a fish tagger in New York who is called  down to Arizona for his uncle's trophy wedding.  

  • He is then ambushed by his family to take over the  family business, which he is initially against,  

  • but decides to pursue. Axel then starts  lusting after a woman named Elaine,  

  • trying to fulfill her dream of buildingflying machine and rebuilding it multiple times.  

  • Somehow he decides the best way to fix this issue  is to put Elaine and her stepdaughter Grace out  

  • of their misery but he ends up unable to do itHe plays Russian Roulette with Grace but the gun  

  • doesn't work and he eventually stops contacting  Elaine in general after the death of Leo.  

  • He does try to stop Grace from her suicide attempt  and ends up promising her that he'll go to Alaska  

  • for her. At the end of the film, he breaks into  his uncle's Cadillac shop just to sleep there.  

  • In the end, the whole film is a very surreal  experience and it's hard to judge Axel because  

  • it's hard to say how much was even the full storyBut he did try to execute two women because he  

  • didn't want to continue rebuilding the flying  machine, so we do have to rank him quite low.

  • Up next on our list is Raoul Duke from the 1998  film Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. Where to begin  

  • with Duke, firstly, he is a massive drug addictand just to be clear, that isn't bad in and of  

  • itself. But it is a major part of his character  and we'd be remiss if we didn't point it out. Duke  

  • was hired by a magazine to cover the Mint 400  motorcycle race with his confidant Dr. Gonzo,  

  • and to do so they brought tons of drugs and rented  an impala for the trip. Duke's addiction leads to  

  • him firing his photographer and becoming intensely  irrational around most people, he then skips out  

  • on a room service bill and his job to find GonzoHe then convinces Gonzo to leave a drugged-out  

  • girl in a hotel room by herself while she was  still tripping. By the end of the film he blacked  

  • out and committed a lot of mayhem with Gonzo, but  he does end up finishing his job and going back  

  • to L.A. Duke's drug addiction by itself doesn't  make him bad, but you combine it with everything  

  • he did and it becomes quite obvious very  quickly that he deserves this spot on the list.

  • Up next on the list is Secret Window's Mort  Rainey. Mort is a man personified by his bad luck,  

  • as he starts the movie finding out that his wife  is cheating on him. Mort is a reclusive mystery  

  • writer and is approached by a man who accuses him  of plagiarizing his manuscript, despite this not  

  • seem to be the case. This leads to the man, John  Shooter, giving him three days to provide proof  

  • and then subsequently killing Mort's dog ChicoShooter then tries to get Mort to change his  

  • ending to match the ending he wrote and is then  the one who seems to burn down Mort's place,  

  • destroying the evidence. Mort is forced  through the wringer throughout the film  

  • only for us to learn that Shooter is actually  Mort, so all of his actions are on the part  

  • of Mort. He then kills Ted and Amy outside of his  Shooter persona and buries them under his garden,  

  • in a much happier mood. What Mort did was  terrible, and we aren't making excuses but  

  • we can't blame him fully, it's implied he has  some sort of dissociative identity disorder,  

  • and not all of his actions are  his own, so he can't fall lower.

  • Taking the 4th most evil spot is the titular  Sweeney Todd from the 2007 Sweeny Todd:  

  • The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Todd, originally  known as Benjamin Barker was a London-based barber  

  • who was imprisoned on false charges for 15  years. Todd came back to London and became  

  • a barber once again, wanting revenge on the  judge who imprisoned him, assaulted his wife,  

  • and kidnapped his daughter. He ends up going  on a killing spree, stating that everyone in  

  • London deserved to die. He eventually  managed to kill both Beadle Banford and  

  • Judge Turpin and get his revenge, although  this leads to his own death shortly after.  

  • Todd is a broken man, who lost almost everything  dear to him, and he became a serial killer and  

  • cannibal in his vengeance, but most of  his crimes make sense in his worldview.

  • Stealing the bronze medal of evil is John  Dillinger from the film Public Enemies.  

  • Dillinger is a notorious and charismatic bank  robber who is listed as Public Enemy #1. However,  

  • he is described as Robin Hood-esque  and that era's rock and roll star,  

  • being famous despite his actions. He starts off  the movie by breaking his friends out of prison,  

  • showing his loyalty, but he is also shown to  be very furious when his friends get hurt such  

  • as kicking one out because he ruined the plan and  got someone killed. Dillinger only seems to steal  

  • money from the bank as he tells people that he  isn't there for the people's personal money.  

  • Dillinger does take hostages and kills copsso he's not a good guy by any means, but he's  

  • not really the worst guy in the world eitherHe ranks lower than Todd because he does have  

  • a higher kill count and doesn't seem to have as  good of a reason to start killing as Todd does.

  • Grabbing the silver medal of evil is Gellert  Grindelwald from the Harry Potter & Fantastic  

  • Beasts Franchises. Grindelwald was an immensely  powerful and well-trained wizard who was born as  

  • a seer, someone who can see the future. He found  that he was destined to become the Master of Death  

  • and rule the wizarding world, instantly  making this his final goal. He became  

  • friends with Albus Dumbledore but the two had very  different goals. His thirst for power led to him  

  • stealing the Elder Wand and committing various  atrocious acts with massive waves of slaughter.  

  • He started to amass his armies, murder manyimprison others, and impersonate other wizards  

  • to stay in hiding. This is just a small fraction  of the crimes he committed, and it becomes obvious  

  • the older he got, the stronger and more insane  he grew, very easily grabbing our silver medal  

  • because he has a body count in the hundreds  and feels no remorse from what we can see.

  • Finally, we head over to Massachusetts to award  the Gold Medal of Evil to Whitey Bulger from  

  • Black Mass. Whitey was actually a real mobster  from Boston, who was every bit as sadistic and  

  • sociopathic as the movie portrays him as. In the  movie, we see Whitey commit several particularly  

  • grim murders, including strangling his associate's  step daughter for being too much of a risk,  

  • as well as torturing and killing another informent  in a grungy basement before having his teeth and  

  • fingernails ripped out so the body can't be  ID'd. He also commits several murders in broad  

  • daylight and stabs pretty much anyone in the  back to avoid being caught or to make money.  

  • The reason Whitey gets the Gold Medal of evil is  two reasons. The first being that he is portrayed  

  • as genuinely sadistic to the point where he enjoys  what he does - which is likely based off the real  

  • life accounts of former associates who said that  if he wasn't a mobster, he likely would have been  

  • a serial killersand also the simple fact that  unlike other characters, Whitey Bulger was a real  

  • person, which makes this role significantly  more dark. So even though his body count was  

  • smaller than our silver medal of evil winner…  his kills were far more sadistic and personal.

  • But, that's not all, we do have some  very fun Sinner Medals to hand out.

  • Taking our Darwin Medal is surprisingly Sherlock  Gnomes who gets so entranced in his work that  

  • he causes a lot of damage, and especially  how he reacts around Irene cements this.

  • The Envy Medal goes to Mort Rainey  who kills his ex-wife and her husband  

  • because he was envious of their relationship.

  • Taking our Lust medal is Gilbert Grape  who has an affair with a married woman  

  • and has a pretty substantial  subplot with another lady.

  • Earning our Sloth Medal is Raoul Duke because he  

  • has very many scenes where he  is just knocked out from drugs.

  • The Greed Medal very obviously  goes to John Dillinger,  

  • whose whole thing is that he's a bank robber.

  • Another obvious one, the Gluttony Medal  belongs to Willy Wonka, who once again,  

  • runs a chocolate factory and  is a very food based character

  • Taking the Pride Medal is Gellert Grindewald  who feels he is entitled to becoming ruler  

  • of the Wizarding World because  he saw it as a potential future.

  • Finally, our Wrath Medal goes to  a very deserving Whitey Bulger  

  • who was, quite literally, an angry and explosive  psychopath who killed anyone who got in his way

  • But let us know in the comment section if  you agree with our ranking. And tell us what  

  • we should cover next. Remember to hit that  notification bell and binge our Good to Evil  

  • playlist. Where we break down the morality  of the characters in your favorite cartoons,  

  • shows and movies. But most  importantly, stay wicked.

Don't lie, we all watched the trial. But even  when you put that aside, what actor is more
