Antagonist - a person or force opposing the protagonist in a drama or narrative
An example of antagonist is Voldemort in the Harry Potter series or the Joker in Batman. Voldemort is trying to kill Harry Potter and since Harry is the protagonist then Voldemort must be the antagonist. In Batman the Joker is a villain who Batman fights, so he is the antagonist. Here is a clip from The Dark Knight:

The video you used was interesting, I watched it twice. The antagonist in that was the Joker right?
