Magua

Wes Studi, the actor who played Magua in The Last of the Mochicans, is an amazing character actor. In my opinion, his convincing portrayal places Magua as the best cinematic villain of the 90s. I am including two scenes from the Last of the Mohicans and breaking it down for the viewers of WHS:

The final battle:
- Min 5:13: I think this says it all.



The final scene:
-Min 2:46: Magua slits Uncas' throat, looks disgusted with the blood splattering on his face, and does all of this in front of Uncas' dad.



Magua Haiku:
Magua he appears
Breaking arms slitting throats
Scared woman jumps cliff

"When the Grey Hair is dead, Magua will eat his heart. Before he dies, Magua will put his children under the knife, so the Grey Hair will know his seed is wiped out forever."
