Between Andrias and Belos who do you think is the most evil and twisted of both?
Oh 100% Belos, again, no contest. I like Amphibia and think it's a fun and good show but its scope and tone are rly just a lot different from TOH.
Andrias is a Captain Planet villain. He's the ancient prince of an advanced dimensional parasite/colonizer society who hardened his heart and set his face as stone against his closest friends and regards it as his greatest failure, so he's gonna strip mine his own planet about it. He's a jovial manipulator who is himself being expertly manipulated by some kind of fucked up machine hivemind he installed in a 14 year old girl who he mentored. He's vaguely pathetic and haunted by memories and rly not loving this.
Belos is a 400 year old puritan witch hunter who murdered his own brother for leaving him for a witch, carved magical glyphs onto his own body, eats the souls of magic animals, mutilated himself for a disguise, and has spent centuries cloning and abusing and murdering said brother over and over again.
His "for real sexual predator" energies are off the charts and his vibes are radioactive. He's weirdly, playfully obsessed with the 14 year old protag and on screen canonically in the show covertly/emotionally incests his nephew-son who is a brother-clone.
He homebrewed magic cult catholicism in order to brainwash an entire society (whose history he has personally suppressed and destroyed over centuries) into letting him Heaven's Gate them.
He's also very pathetic and haunted by his own past and wading through a hip-deep lake of blood he's spilled to get where he is, he's a sort of eternal child frozen in suspended development who can't bear to be wrong and sees himself as a constant wounded martyr and victim who keeps repeating the exact same patterns of behavior that have been making him miserable for centuries, but he's convinced himself he's righteous and it's worth it. And he is also definitely getting played by the Collector.
They are both literal cartoon villains but Belos is also just a very intimately real and personal sort of monster, under all the you know witch shit. No contest.
