This is a bit more of a sciency/nerdy video channeling my love for psychology.

The info I presented is based off the study by Dr. Samuel Leistedt’s paper “Psychopathy and the Cinema: Fact or Fiction?”

Do let me know if you enjoy this style and what other psychopaths did I miss?

level 8 - playing uplifting country music while describing psychopaths

One really missing here, Christoph Waltz from Inglorious Bastards. Bruh I still get chills in all scenes he is the center in.

Thanks for putting me in this video

As someone with a psychology degree, I truly appreciate you utilizing an actual paper from a certified professional for your source. Psychopathy is widely misunderstood within the media, so it's refreshing to see a YouTuber (who doesn't generally post psychological content) create an accurate video.

Level 7: Mr. Beast

Anton in level 7 is perfect, his blank stare reaches your soul.

Todd from Breaking Bad

Jake gyllenhall was legit terrifying to even look at in nightcrawler

My middle school teacher was Anthony Hopkins doppelganger, so fucking uncomfortable. First time I saw Hopkins on TV I asked my dad why my teacher was on TV.

I read "The Wisdom of Psychopaths" by Kevin Dutton a long time ago and remember him also using James Bond as a good example of a psychopath 😉

Bill the Butcher absolutely has charisma and charm. He just flips a switch but when he is calm he has those traits

Finally someone who calls James Bond a psychopath! SUBSCRIBED!

It was clearly stated in Thomas Harris' books that nobody could cathegorise Hanibal as a psychopath or a sociopath. He needed an entirely different category of his own.

A very glib take on Norman Bates, most younger reviewers often misdiagnose Norman. Pseudo psychology indicated damage to a certain part of the brain, Norman was never diagnosed with any physical damage, so including Norman in the first tier is counterintuitive and brushes over Norman’s thinking and his relationship he has with his mother.

11:40 Göth and Goethe are different names and pronounced differently, Goethe (never written using the ö Umlaut unless humorously, and the e is indeed not silent) is a very renowned german writer/poet, while Göth (written with the ö Umlaut) is ... well, the war criminal you are talking about. Germans will defend Goethe even if they hated reading him at school. Germans that defend Göth need an extra tier.

His name was Amon Göth without an e at the end. Goethe was the playwright and poet. Göth was the war criminal.

Level one and two- another common term for these would be a Sociopath, or anti-social personality disorder. A good example of this would be Joffrey Baratheon from Game of Thrones.

Another good example of the Manipulator would be Ramsay Bolton.

Bit of interesting trivia is that Bardem ended up being a bit traumatized by allowing his mindset to go down the path of a true psychopath that he had to take several months to recover and wound up doing a cheesy rom com as his next project specifically as a 'palette cleanser'.  Ralph Fiennes portrayal of Amon Goethe ended up being so accurate that he actually triggered PTSD in a number of actual holocaust survivors.  I would've also like to have seen where Antony Starr's portrayal of Homelander would've fallen on this list.  And, damn you, now I can't see James Bond the same way ever again.

Anton did have a God complex.  He thought he was an agent of fate.
