This question was not easy to answer because the quality and evaluation of the male lead in the anime depended on many factors such as the plot, character creation, audience preferences, and so on. Moreover, the definition of "the most scum" varied from person to person.
However, if it was referring to the performance of the male lead in a certain anime, then it could be said that every character had its own unique charm and value. It was difficult to simply rate a character as the "worst".
In my opinion, 'High School DxD' had some issues as an anime adaptation of a light novel. While it was popular for its fanservice, it deviated quite a bit from the original light novel in terms of story and character growth in the later seasons. The story started to feel more like an excuse to show off the female characters' bodies rather than focusing on the plot and character development that was in the light novel.
Well, Watchmojo's top 10 might include classic ones like 'Infinite Gauntlet' which is really famous for Thanos' quest for the Infinity Stones. 'Secret Wars' could also be on there as it had a huge impact on the Marvel universe, bringing together different heroes and villains in an epic battle. And 'Old Man Logan' is another great one that shows a dark future of the Marvel world.
They could also rank them according to how well - written the horror elements are. A novel like 'The Shining' has such great descriptions of the spooky hotel and the psychological breakdown of the characters, which would contribute to a high ranking. In addition, the popularity and longevity of a horror novel in the public consciousness might also be a factor in WatchMojo's ranking. For instance, 'Frankenstein' has been around for ages and is still widely read and studied, so it would likely be ranked well.
One interesting origin story on WatchMojo could be about a popular superhero. Maybe how the character was created, from the initial idea in the creator's mind to the first appearance in comics or on screen. For example, Superman's origin story involves him being sent from the doomed planet Krypton as a baby and growing up with his adoptive parents on Earth, developing his superpowers along the way.
Poor pacing is a major reason. For example, if an anime tries to cover too much of the light novel in a short time, it will end up skipping important details. Like in the case of some adaptations where the story feels disjointed as it jumps from one plot point to another without proper transition. This makes it hard for the viewers to follow the story and enjoy it as much as they could have if it was a better adaptation.
Sure. WatchMojo may have special content on 'Pulp Fiction' like dissecting the character development. For instance, how Vincent Vega changes throughout the film. Also, it could talk about the movie's cultural significance. 'Pulp Fiction' was a game - changer in the 90s and still has a strong influence today. WatchMojo could explain how it became a cultural touchstone, representing a certain era of filmmaking and pop - culture.
One popular horror novel could be 'The Shining' by Stephen King. It's known for its intense atmosphere in the haunted Overlook Hotel. Another might be 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker, which introduced the iconic vampire character. And 'Frankenstein' by Mary Shelley is also a classic in the horror genre, exploring the idea of a created monster.
I'm not exactly sure which specific novels are on the WatchMojo top 10 fantasy novels list without looking it up. But some very popular fantasy novels that often make top lists include 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolkien, 'Harry Potter' series by J.K. Rowling, and 'A Song of Ice and Fire' by George R.R. Martin.
Well, 'The Shining' by Stephen King is likely to be in there. It has a terrifying hotel setting and a man slowly losing his sanity. 'The Exorcist' by William Peter Blatty is also a strong contender. It's about a young girl possessed by a demon, and the attempts to exorcise it are truly spine - chilling.
