The first villain to come to mind is Villanelle from Killing Eve.
Do's: To make the villain prominent enough to effect the story and the protagonist. To have a villain with no real purpose in the story, will make them disposable and useless.
Don'ts: Making the villain almost useless in the sense of their motive is a poor way of writing them. To be the antagonist without a real purpose an intent will make them feel weak and insignificant.

Some of my favorite villains are Villanelle from Killing Eve, Bellatrix Lestrange,

Do’s: When writing a villain, you need to give them a good backstory. You need to make the character interesting to help the reader understand why they are the way they are.

Make them witty and smart

Give them their own little arc (depending on how relevant the character is).

Don’ts: Don’t put the character in the “villain stereotype” meaning they don;t have to come from a foreign country (A lot villains are german, russian, british, etc.) this can create prejudice but that’s a conversation for another time. A character can be a character in different ways. They’re main goal may not actually be to ruin or destroy the protagonist’s life. For example, to a teenager, parents may be seen as villains, even though they’re main goal is to protect and teach the kid.

My favorite villains include:
Megamind, Walter White, The Beast (Over the Garden Wall)

Do's: Give them a proper motivation besides being "eViL." It's like that saying, everyone is the hero of their own story. I think it's interesting when villains start as good people, slowly losing their moral compass and blurring the lines between what they think is right and wrong.
Don'ts: Make the villains evil for the sake of causing chaos. Don't make their actions confusing or contradictory. They have clear motivation and goals, like the heroes. Don't be afraid to change their plans/ morals if they have a character arc or discover new information.

Gru

Doś and Dontś to writing a good villain:

There must be a strong connection between them and the hero.

Should be a compelling backstory

They should be fun and interesting.

Do not just bring them into the story without giving more information/background about them.

Luke from percy jackson,
Reiner, bertholdt,
Beast Zeke,
the best combination of villians Reiner and bertholdt because he was given these ultimate objectives and goes crazy split personalize only he thinks hes fine berholdt is there his right hand man always with him driving the story further into season 4 but tragedy happens to one of them early on. Zeke also ties in with the story heavily providing a confusion later in the 4th season but an epic turn and an epic objective in the manga. Luke from Percy Jackson  dont´s dont give yourself out and what to to always find a step ahead

Because I can't shut up about my favorite cartoon villains, here's another great take about why authors should make us care about their villains:

If you HAVEN'T see Avatar, the Last Airbender, this video will contain spoilers, but if you have! Zuko's redemption arc actually works so well! Here's an analysis:

vergil from the  DMC series rivels and bother of Dante and enemy of Sparta

Favorite villain is Thanos. Throughout the entirety of Infinity war you have to ask yourself if hes actually right. His motives are clear, and most importantly, understandable.

# data[].attributes.body
Favorites: Loki and Maleficent
Give details into their past. Why they became who they are. Don't milk it though. No one likes a megamind sappy backstory. Don't focus too long on your villains' task. Yes, it's great to know what they are doing, but if you talk to much about it the readers will lose interest.

# data[].attributes.body
Favorite Villains
- Azula / Persistent. She didn't stop trying to get what she wanted.
- Bellatrix Lestrange / She was just a better villain the Voldemort. Was ready to take anyone on.
- Obito Uchiha / He had a very good reason for being a villain, but he went past that reason and became worse that he was supposed to be.
-  Zuko/ He had a great motive, but he also had great character development.
- Joker/ He took his old life and incorporated it into his villain life... something like that.

Do - Give them a background, background knowledge as to why they are the way they are.
Make them entertaining/different.

Don't - Make them weak and easy to beat.

Favorite Villains :
Jan Van Eck, Six of Crows
Azula, Avatar the Last Airbender
Father, Full Metal Alchemist

Dos and Don'ts :
Don't make the villain right in everything they do
A villain doesn't need to be a good person on the wrong side
Whether they're good but doing things wrong or if they're just evil, give them motivation

my favorite villain has to be Malty S Melromarc from The Rising Of The Shield Hero mainly because she filled her role almost to a tea of someone who you can completely despise and hate to the core. first off almost everything she did made me think she was complete scum and even got the main characters friends to turn against him. secondly in the end the main character can be foiled from the villain which is a great story pusher. And one of the best pay offs for a villains ending I have ever seen in a story.

# data[].attributes.body
favorite villains Joker, Big chungus, Keyser Soza,
Some do´s and don´t would be having a good backstory, good character design

# data[].attributes.body
Homelander, Morgona, Izen, Gin, Kaname, Kai Proctor, Time, -
Do - You can see and understand why they are doing what their doing. Knowing why the way they are.
Don't - Not having invincible villains. Don't make the audience be overly sympathetic for the villain.

# data[].attributes.body
I think my favorite kind of villain is someone who is close to the protagonist, because it makes the tension higher. Make sure the villain has a background that makes sense with who they are now, they shouldn't just change one day because they fall in love or lose someone, if they do change it needs to be a journey. The villain should be feared by the hero, they shouldn't just be someone the hero is trying to beat.
