Yo! Wassap?
So... how bout dat Breath of the Wild, eh?
...
What's your favorite Disney Villain?
1.) Gaston - All Time Favorite
I mean, come on. This guy's a total dude bro. I mean, sure he's an ignorant self centered loathsome jerk from beginning to end, but that hair... *ahem* I mean, here's an over exaggerated cartoon villain who goes from loveable jerkface full time egomaniac to full on raging psychopath in the end. Plus, thematically his character stands in stark juxtaposition to the Beast. Disney villains are known to be one off one dimensional cartoonishly proportioned Snidely Whiplash style caricatures and Gaston intentionally runs with that to further the underlying theme of the movie. He practically trolls every disney villain ever which makes him number 1 in my book.
I suppose there's a lot to say about Disney villain styles because disney villains tend to fall into certain categories. You've got the evil-for-evils sake 1D villains of disney yesteryear - the Malificents, the Evil Queens (here's a villain so flat she doesn't even have a name) the Jafars, the Scars. Then you've got the "twist" villains, the ones you never see coming!! These are the Prospector Petes and that dude from Frozen, etc. And you've got the sympathetic villains - The Syndromes, the Hades (kinda), and giant rampaging lava monster from Moana.
Buy my favorite villain type has to be the evil-for-evil's sake. I mean, if you're gonna present a cartoonishly flat villain you might as well go all the way. Hades also falls into this category. And though I'm no fan of the Lion King I gotta special appreciation for Scar. Why? In his own words, he's surrounded by idiots. This is why...
2.) Jafar
Do we even know *why* Jafar wants to take over Agrabah? No? Do we have to? Not really. He's a bad guy. It's what he does. But it always struck me that he plays the adviser to a ridiculous man child and his ditzy flighty daughter and his only henchman is a wise cracking parrot with the voice of Gilbert Godfrey. I mean, if I had to put up with these twits, I'd be cartoonishly evil too. Jafar plays the part of the villain and loves it.
Runners up, Cruella DeVille. Again, here we have a one dimensional villain so over the top evil her defining character trait is that she wants to make coats out of puppies because that's just how freakishly evil she is.
Hades is perhaps the most memorable disney villain in recent memory, for all the usual reasons.
