Transcripts

00:00

hey gang so my financial advisers told

00:02

me that I need to make more videos on

00:04

animated movies in order to fund my

00:06

Pikmin content let's talk about Pikmin

00:08

villains I mean Pixar villains silly me

00:11

yeah so 4 years ago I made a video

00:13

ranking the top 10 DreamWorks villains

00:16

that did really well it was a ton of fun

00:18

to make and I capitalized on its success

00:20

by never making a video like it again

00:22

for some reason look can you blame me I

00:25

was too busy figuring out if the

00:26

characters in Super Smash Bros can eat

00:28

pizza or not I honestly think I really

00:30

messed up by not becoming a gaming

00:31

YouTuber first and foremost and then

00:33

transitioning into film stuff afterwards

00:35

rather than the other way around in a

00:37

perfect world every single one of my

00:38

videos would be about Pikmin I hope you

00:40

know that but oh well that's enough

00:42

existential dread let's get back on

00:44

topic everyone loves to talk about

00:46

classic Disney villains and while there

00:48

are a lot of individual iconic baddies

00:51

from Pixar movies I don't think they're

00:53

quite as revered as a group you know

00:56

probably because while Disney villains

00:57

have a lot of arch types and aspects in

01:00

common Pixar baddies tend to Branch out

01:02

in all sorts of different ways you got

01:04

simple Rivals a couple actually good

01:07

twist villains legit Mass murderers and

01:10

a kid who's just expressing his

01:11

creativity damn it he doesn't know the

01:14

toys are alive gives it a break okay I'm

01:16

getting ahead of myself Pixar villains

01:18

are some of the first cinematic bad guys

01:20

we ever come across in our lives they

01:22

really left an impression on a lot of us

01:24

and there's a lot to say about why most

01:26

of them work really well most of them

01:29

because yeah much like the movies

01:31

themselves the consistency of these

01:33

villains really fell off over time I

01:36

mean there wasn't even an obvious bottom

01:38

spot for this list I actually had to

01:40

really think about three of these

01:41

atrocious antagonists and which

01:44

one belongs lower than the others but

01:46

before I tell you how much they suck a

01:48

couple of ground roles obviously not

01:50

every Pixar movie has a villain I

01:53

omitted the obviously villainess movies

01:55

from this list but I also wanted to be

01:57

upfront with some of my perhaps more

01:59

controversial solo missions basically I

02:01

don't think there are villains in Toy

02:03

Story 4 soul and Finding Nemo Gabby

02:07

Gabby seems like a villain at first but

02:08

the fact that they talk things out with

02:10

her fairly quickly means I don't really

02:12

think she counts for the purposes of

02:13

this list she doesn't feel incredibly

02:15

villainous deep down the same goes for

02:18

Terry from Soul they have no personal

02:20

stake in stopping the hero it's

02:21

literally just a job for them to pick up

02:24

this lost soul plus the climax of the

02:26

movie doesn't even revolve around them

02:27

they serve their singular purpose of

02:29

bringing Joe back to the soul world and

02:32

then they are irrelevance doesn't really

02:34

sound like a villain to me finally

02:36

Finding Nemo Bruce doesn't count cuz

02:38

that was just his insatiable blood lust

02:40

talking he's really a nice guy who else

02:42

do we got the dentist dude just wanted

02:44

some fish I don't know he doesn't seem

02:46

all that malicious and the same goes for

02:48

Darla she just shakes a bag Sid counts

02:51

because he's constantly straight up

02:52

antagonistic but like Darla just shook a

02:55

bag I don't know I don't think Finding

02:57

Nemo has a villain argue with the wall

02:59

one last thing in terms of the other

03:01

movies on this list I'm only going to be

03:02

counting the main villain of any

03:04

particular movie like the underminer is

03:07

not going to be on here I'm sorry

03:09

underminer Nation sorry to undermine his

03:11

influence however there is one movie I'm

03:14

going to have to include two different

03:16

villains from in separate slots and when

03:18

we get to it I think you'll know why

03:21

okay that's enough Preamble let's get it

03:23

going disappoint in the game of life

03:26

like I said I really had to think about

03:29

who deserve this bottom placement there

03:32

are certainly a couple villains more

03:34

embarrassing than this guy but

03:36

ultimately I realized that I had to give

03:39

the bottom slot to the one villain whose

03:42

very existence actively makes the entire

03:45

film story worse say hello to Emperor

03:50

Zerg I mean realistically think about it

03:53

Toy Story 2 already had two antagonists

03:56

in the form of Stinky Pete and Al from

03:58

Al's Toy Barn what the hell did throwing

04:00

in a third villain accomplish oh oh wait

04:03

I might have gotten something wrong in

04:04

my notes I don't think this is the movie

04:06

Zerg is the worst villain in oh here we

04:08

go I found the other movie he was in Toy

04:10

Story 3 you call this a villain role

04:12

it's barely even a cameo come on yeah as

04:16

I said worst villain by far he makes the

04:19

story worse you know that still doesn't

04:22

seem right what else came out that had

04:25

this guy in it um I guess there was that

04:27

one fan film where it's like a hyper

04:30

realistic Buzz Lightyear and they also

04:32

copy the emotional hook of interstellar

04:34

and most of the movie is spending time

04:36

with Annoying losers and one of them is

04:38

Tao yd and his whole joke is that he has

04:41

a pen in his suit and he keeps wanting

04:43

to use the pen and when do we get to the

04:46

climax the he uses the pen that was the

04:49

payoff but you know what the animation

04:51

is very good for a fan film even so I

04:54

feel like these fans really missed the

04:56

point and appeal of Buzz Lightyear he's

04:59

a corny parody of sci-fi Heroes Zerg in

05:03

actual Toy Story is his father because

05:06

Darth Vader parody a ton of people saw

05:08

this film and asked why isn't Zerg his

05:10

father anymore and I think that's

05:12

because if they kept Zerg as his father

05:15

that would be akin to admitting that a

05:17

serious version of a goofy parody

05:20

character with a goofy parody Darth

05:22

Vader villain is a deeply dumb premise

05:25

that never should have been made and we

05:27

can't admit that we spent 200 million

05:29

doll on this jeez how did the fans get

05:32

that large of a budget to make this

05:34

that's crazy anyway the twist is that no

05:37

this isn't Buzz's father silly this is

05:40

an older buzz from an alternate future

05:43

timeline oh okay that makes perfect

05:45

sense what if you haven't seen this

05:47

movie which is most of you I assume

05:49

you're probably wondering what makes

05:51

this the dumbest twist ever in anything

05:54

but to answer that we need to talk about

05:56

parallel universes you see Zerg is a

05:58

version of Buzz from an alternate

06:00

timeline where he completed his mission

06:02

but he wasn't supposed to so they tried

06:04

to arrest him so he ran away and he just

06:07

conveniently stumbled upon a bunch of

06:09

abandoned alien technology and robots he

06:11

then used all this convenient technology

06:13

to travel back in time but not far

06:16

enough back in time to correct his

06:17

mistake so he needs the time Crystal

06:20

from the version of Buzz that currently

06:21

exists in the present the problem I have

06:24

with this is that nothing in the movie

06:25

ever supports the idea that alternate

06:27

versions of the same character can

06:29

coexist or that going back in time is a

06:31

possibility Buzz has a brief line where

06:34

he says what we need is a time machine

06:36

and that's all there is in terms of

06:37

foreshadowing old Buzz doesn't Discover

06:40

the ability to go back in time through

06:41

his Ingenuity he literally just stumbles

06:44

upon technology that can do that for him

06:47

and all the robots who work for him now

06:49

can't say Buzz the only noise they can

06:52

make is Zurg so he's Zerg now are you

06:56

starting to understand why this is the

06:58

dumbest movie ever but wait there's more

07:00

stupid to talk about see Buzz's

07:02

entire motivation in this movie is to

07:05

correct a mistake he made that got

07:06

everyone stranded on this planet the

07:08

consequences of this mistake are

07:10

basically non-existent because nobody

07:12

ever expresses frustration or

07:14

disappointment at being stuck here

07:16

except him literally everyone is fine

07:18

living on this planet but Buzz is the

07:20

only one who's like no I got to fix this

07:24

we got to get home and it'd be one thing

07:26

if it was just the hero of the movie who

07:28

had this dumb assass motivation but

07:30

unfortunately because the hero and the

07:33

villain are the same person this is also

07:35

what old buzzes entire motivation hinges

07:38

on a problem that literally only exists

07:41

in his head because nobody else cares he

07:44

spent the past 50 years thinking no I

07:48

don't give a that everyone has a

07:50

happy life on this planet now I want to

07:52

correct my mistakes so nobody hates me

07:55

even though nobody does it's not like

07:58

old Buzz didn't know everyone was fine

08:00

he saw his best friend get gay married

08:02

and have a family so like what is his

08:05

problem is he just homophobic I think

08:07

it's that I feel like you could do

08:09

something interesting with the concept

08:10

of the villain being an older jaded

08:12

version of the hero but the problem is

08:14

that Buzz Lightyear in this movie is

08:17

extremely flat and boring I can't

08:19

picture him going down this road as a

08:21

character because quite frankly I can't

08:23

picture him going down any road as a

08:25

character he's such a milk toast

08:28

standard good guy with with a little bit

08:30

of an ego problem but it really doesn't

08:32

feel that drastic it's like they were

08:34

too afraid to make him unlikable even

08:36

though the whole point of the villain

08:38

hinges on the idea that buzz has the

08:40

potential to do some unlikable evil

08:43

things I don't like this movie does Zerg

08:46

do anything cool and villainous when you

08:48

detach him from the old Buzz twist nope

08:50

he's so boring just a dull evil robot

08:54

guy who doesn't have a single memorable

08:56

line of dialogue his motivation is

08:58

unbearably stupid stupid The Twist feels

09:00

especially pulled out of the movie's ass

09:02

and he overall makes the entire film

09:05

significantly worse this would

09:07

absolutely be the worst Pixar movie

09:09

villain if it counted but since it's a

09:11

fan film it's only really worth a

09:13

dishonorable mention wait what do you

09:16

mean this movie was made by Pixar what

09:18

are you talking about dinosaur

09:21

office all right what movie do I have to

09:24

talk about

09:26

next I will pay you a bajillion shilling

09:29

if you can tell me the name of the

09:31

villain from the good dinosaur does

09:34

anyone remember his name it was Earl by

09:37

the way yeah I bet you never would have

09:39

guessed that so this movie is a bunch of

09:40

scenes strung together where

09:42

Dino kid and dog boy encounter various

09:45

unmemorable dinosaurs and then they just

09:47

move on to the next one and I guess

09:49

they're supposed to be bonding as they

09:51

do this I think this might be the least

09:54

liked Pixar movie honestly like I found

09:56

out over the years that Cars 2 has a lot

09:58

of fans and and I always knew there were

10:00

at least some people who like brave but

10:03

like good dinosaur and Lightyear are the

10:05

big two that I just do not think anyone

10:09

on the planet likes anyway what was I

10:11

talking about oh yeah so Earl and his

10:13

Dino buddies show up in one 5 minute

10:15

scene towards the middle and you know I

10:17

thought the scene was fine it was

10:19

actually pretty funny when he suddenly

10:20

ate that squirrel he rescued but yeah he

10:22

wants to eat the dog boy and the T-Rexes

10:25

chase him off so he's out of the movie

10:27

now except once we get to the third Act

10:29

Act the movie remembers that it needed

10:31

to have a third act so it just abruptly

10:34

brings these Jokers back they kidnapped

10:36

dog boy and then instead of eating him

10:38

immediately they put him in a tree where

10:40

he can dodge them trying to eat him I

10:42

guess anyway Earl has no character

10:44

outside of just being the leader of a

10:46

cult who worships storms if that sounds

10:48

interesting to you trust me it's not

10:51

there is no reason to ever watch this

10:53

movie again it was a tough decision but

10:56

the reason I ultimately put Earl over

10:58

Zerg is because he doesn't actively make

11:01

his movie worse he's just kind of a

11:03

victim of the fact that there's barely a

11:05

plot and what little plot they do have

11:07

is being held together by Scotch tape

11:09

still he's absolutely one of the most

11:11

underwhelming pathetic forgettable Pixar

11:15

villains in fact he's so forgettable

11:17

that Earl isn't even his name it was

11:19

Thunderclap did you even notice I was

11:21

using the wrong name be fing honest

11:25

1800 myON holy Cars 2 not in last

11:29

place that means I love the movie guys

11:32

you did it you convinced

11:35

me yeah so I kind of just lumped the

11:37

German car in together with the twist

11:39

villain car I I don't really care enough

11:41

to pick one or the other the German car

11:43

is just kind of acting on the will of

11:45

the twist villain cars so yeah I don't

11:46

know the plot of Cars 2 and specifically

11:49

the villain's evil plan is so convoluted

11:51

and so stupid that it's kind of

11:53

delightful okay so Miles axle Rod

11:56

created an alternative fuel but then he

11:58

made it so the alternative fuel was bad

12:00

and kills people and so he uh so that

12:03

way he can trick people into only

12:05

wanting to use oil forever H it's so

12:08

dumb it's brilliant no it's just dumb

12:12

okay so the villains are lemon cars and

12:15

Society stopped manufacturing their

12:17

parts and they they laugh at them and

12:19

the villains are mad about that but like

12:22

miles axle road is Rich why doesn't he

12:25

just use his money and significant

12:27

influence within car Society to bring

12:29

about the change he wants to see in the

12:31

world instead of committing terrorism

12:33

manufacture the parts yourself I

12:36

feel like this villain would have made a

12:37

lot more sense if they were anyone but

12:40

the richest guy in the world yeah I

12:42

don't know I guess the scene where Mater

12:43

finally Corners him and presents him

12:45

with facts and logic forcing him to

12:47

verbally turn off the bomb was kind of

12:49

neat but like he kind of has that usual

12:52

twist villain problem where we barely

12:54

get to see his evil side like it only

12:56

shows up in this one three minute scene

12:58

where he's talking to all the other

12:59

lemons I think bellweather had more time

13:02

to be evil fing bellweather as for the

13:05

German car or whatever I don't know I

13:07

guess the them where he's interrogating

13:09

the blue car to find the 2 tbyte file is

13:11

okay that's all I got I feel like I'm

13:13

losing brain cells the longer I talk

13:15

about Cars 2 time to move on I went to

13:18

college oh God we got so long to go

13:21

before we get to the good villains all

13:22

right what's next Monsters University

13:25

yeah I think this is a decent kind of

13:27

overheated little film I mean it has

13:29

such a memorable villain uh what was

13:32

their name again oh yeah the dean she

13:34

was scar well did she actually count

13:37

though cuz she was kind of just a Stern

13:39

authority figure who changes her mind in

13:41

the end I don't know I looked up a bunch

13:43

of Pixar villain rankings and it seems

13:45

like the main consensus is that the main

13:47

villain of this movie is Johnny

13:50

Worthington III okay yeah it's a

13:53

douchebag rival character something

13:56

we'll be seeing a lot of on this list he

13:58

uh he barely gets to come up in he's an

14:00

to mik the whole film and then

14:02

he gets defeated at the scare games and

14:04

he's kind of surprised by this but then

14:06

the next scene he's totally fine and

14:07

saying hey Sully welcome back to our

14:10

team even though his team lost and Sully

14:12

was on the team that won maybe if he was

14:14

a little more desperate in this scene

14:16

and like his mask came off a bit and we

14:18

realized he was just a spoiled rich brat

14:20

or something I don't know this is just

14:22

this textbook of a douchy College rival

14:24

as you can possibly get he's basically

14:26

just Bradley Upper Crest thei third but

14:28

without any any Charisma or enjoyability

14:31

not terrible but not

14:33

impressive

14:35

back oh goody more cars

14:40

look Cars 3 is my favorite of the

14:42

trilogy and even I can't tell you a

14:44

single defining characteristic about

14:47

Jackson storm he's just the worst Chick

14:49

Hicks I rewatched footage of his scenes

14:52

and like yeah he's good at being douchy

14:54

he gets into Lightning McQueen's head

14:56

pretty well but like I don't know man I

14:59

I feel like you could just replace any

15:00

aspect of him with anything else and it

15:03

would not make a difference his dialogue

15:05

his design his voice ooh yeah we we we

15:09

should probably replace his voice

15:10

actually yes holy I'm going to come

15:13

he serves his purpose or whatever he's

15:16

just not turning up near the top of

15:17

anyone's Pixar villain lists well I knew

15:20

this was coming I bet this lady is a lot

15:22

higher than some of you were expecting

15:24

that's because Evelyn at least functions

15:27

as a villain you could tear apart so so

15:29

many of the writing decisions related to

15:30

her and everyone has already but at the

15:33

end of the day she's more effective to

15:35

her story than cult leader pterodactyl

15:38

and car who is mean to Lightning McQueen

15:41

number two of course she's still a

15:43

pretty bad villain and do I even really

15:46

need to go into why even people who like

15:48

Incredibles 2 tend to say yeah I'll

15:51

admit the villain kind of sucked she

15:52

lacks all of the Menace and Stage

15:54

presence that syndrome had she's

15:56

incredibly obvious as a Twist villain

15:58

considering there were really only two

16:00

characters that it could have been and

16:01

Bob oerk would have been so obvious that

16:03

even Disney wouldn't try it her plan to

16:05

ruin the reputation of supers is so

16:08

bafflingly elaborate considering the

16:10

reputation of supers is already in the

16:12

toilet when the movie begins what is she

16:15

trying to accomplish

16:17

exactly now supers are extra not

16:20

trustworthy in the eyes of the general

16:22

public okay great did you really have to

16:25

go through all of this to get to that

16:27

point why not just hypnotize TI some

16:29

supers and hold them in place so you can

16:31

slap those goggles on them and then have

16:33

them terrorize the city put me in the

16:35

writer's room Pixar I know my

16:37

better than that hack fraud Brad Bird

16:40

what did he ever write The Incredibles

16:43

Ratatouille I could write those in my

16:45

sleep disclaimer this is a joke I don't

16:48

know what I'm doing and Brad Bird is

16:49

really good at knowing what he's doing

16:51

except when he wrote this movie it

16:53

really sucks cuz I think the screen

16:54

slaver Persona is pretty intimidating

16:57

and would have made for a decently

16:58

effective villain if you didn't feel the

17:00

need to shove a Twist in there that

17:02

monologue he gives while Elastic Girl is

17:04

tracking him down you know it's at least

17:06

starting to touch on an interesting

17:08

ideology it just falls apart when you

17:11

realize the screen slaver is just the

17:12

mouthpiece for this boring lady who got

17:14

upset that her dad made a phone call to

17:16

superheroes and got killed for it if I

17:19

were her I'd be more upset that he

17:21

didn't put his phone in the safe room

17:23

that would have made more sense but

17:25

regardless it's a very contrived

17:27

situation to base your entire ire

17:29

ideology around honestly I could excuse

17:32

this if she was at least entertaining

17:34

good thing she's not I don't remember a

17:36

single line out of her and I just

17:38

watched this movie yesterday I'm going

17:40

to move on with my life now oh B so the

17:43

villain in Brave is big monster bear who

17:46

can't talk yeah I mean sure whatever

17:48

this thing definitely works as an

17:50

intimidating force it has a pretty sick

17:52

design some actually cool lore

17:54

surrounding its origin and it absolutely

17:56

puts Merida in some precarious

17:58

situations it's just not really an

18:00

exciting villain you know it would be

18:02

like if you made the main villain of the

18:04

SpongeBob movie the seab bear like yeah

18:07

it's scary you got to watch out for it

18:09

but like not really a great character

18:11

you know it also doesn't really show up

18:13

as much as it could have but for what it

18:15

is literally just a feral bear who kills

18:17

people yeah it's effective I guess I

18:20

like how it just shows up at the ending

18:21

and wrecks the out of everybody

18:23

like that's cool I suppose okay back to

18:25

never thinking about this movie again

18:27

isn't there anyone who cares

18:29

about I've seen Sid pop up on a lot of

18:32

best Pixar villains or even best overall

18:35

Disney villains lists and like I don't

18:37

know why you could argue that he's not

18:39

even a villain just an antagonist who

18:41

tortures inanimate toys because he

18:43

doesn't know they're alive he's just

18:45

letting off steam I mean yeah he's mean

18:48

to his sister but come on give him a

18:50

break yeah he functions pretty well for

18:52

what he is but I don't think he's a

18:54

really super memorable antagonist or

18:56

character in general I don't even have

18:58

much else to say about him he works he's

19:00

not amazing but he works I think the

19:02

horrifying sted animation of the first

19:05

Toy Story Works to this character's

19:07

benefit like he looks as horrific as the

19:09

toys see him as I like the part where

19:11

they psychologically torment him at the

19:13

end yeah I don't really know what else

19:15

to say he's fine moving

19:18

on all right now it's a party Chick

19:21

Hicks is the funniest Pixar villain not

19:24

because of anything he actually says in

19:26

the movie but just his very existence

19:28

just brings me so much joy it's Chick

19:32

Hicks kachigga kachigga he's just a

19:35

perfect douchebag rival who really does

19:38

not affect the vast majority of the

19:40

film's plot and yet his sheer hilarity

19:42

is enough to propel him way higher on

19:44

the list than he really deserves it's an

19:47

impressive feat to make someone more

19:49

unlikable than Lightning McQueen is at

19:50

the start of the film someone who never

19:52

grows never improves as a car person and

19:55

who ultimately the king's up

19:58

prompting lightning to display his truly

20:00

exceptional growth and help the king

20:02

cross the finish line okay but like if I

20:05

was him I would have crossed the finish

20:06

line and won the race and then gone back

20:08

to help the king but I I guess this is a

20:10

better lesson learned or whatever oh

20:12

well chick hick is honestly perfect for

20:14

what he is granted what he is isn't

20:17

exactly a stellar overarching antagonist

20:19

or anything but this is still perfect

20:21

for what the movie requires of its

20:23

villain this is Michael Keaton's best

20:25

role to date I will not hear otherwise

20:27

wait a minute I think we're on an

20:28

autopilot that whole time I've expressed

20:31

some problems with auto as an antagonist

20:33

in the past my main sticking point is

20:35

that he's a really flat character when

20:38

you compare him with the other robots in

20:40

the movie who have so much expression

20:42

and personality but then a bunch of

20:43

people pointed out to me that this was

20:45

probably the point Otto isn't compelling

20:48

in The Way Wall-E and Eve are because

20:50

he's a deliberate contrast to them he

20:53

sticks to his programming and directive

20:55

no matter what he believes Earth is

20:57

beyond saving because that's what the

20:59

humans from centuries ago believed and

21:01

he lacks the Free Will and autonomy to

21:03

question that okay that's deliberate

21:06

that's an interesting character choice

21:07

but at the same time it still doesn't

21:10

really make for an interesting character

21:12

I appreciate what ot's lack of autonomy

21:15

says about the heroes but I just don't

21:17

find myself compelled by him

21:19

individually he has a lot of good

21:21

attributes like his voice is incredibly

21:23

intimidating the fact that he pretty

21:24

much has command of every system on the

21:26

ship makes him a formidable foe and damn

21:29

when he tases WALL-E oh my God you

21:32

really want this stupid wheel dead a

21:34

good villain great for what they're

21:35

going for but I just don't find what

21:37

they're going for super engaging

21:40

personally boo it's my hands all right

21:43

before we embark on our journey to the

21:44

top 10 let me tell you all a tale of how

21:47

I have too many subscription services

21:50

that I get to make a video on a single

21:52

show and then I forget to cancel them

21:55

I'm a very busy individual I got so many

21:57

things to do and worry about and as a

21:59

result all these opportunities to not

22:01

waste my money on things that I'm not

22:03

using slip through my fingers well

22:06

today's sponsor rocket money is here to

22:08

help rocket money is the personal

22:10

finance app that helps you cancel

22:11

subscriptions lower bills and manage

22:14

22:16

to cancel my unwanted subscriptions

22:17

since the app safely and securely

22:19

identifies recurring charges and allows

22:21

you to cancel subscriptions within the

22:23

app with just a couple of TAPS that's so

22:26

helpful because I've had a few services

22:27

that require you to call and talk to

22:29

someone in order to cancel them and man

22:32

I don't have it in me to do that I can't

22:34

even call my doctor having this app is a

22:36

godsend for making those cancellations

22:39

I'm also using rocket money to set

22:40

budgets since the app is able to analyze

22:42

I want my Bo Charles monst is good he's

23:20

like the textbook example of a good

23:22

Pixar villain who works for what he is

23:24

just this lunatic who's lost himself in

23:26

a singular obsession for decades if he

23:29

doesn't capture this bird he'll never

23:31

get his honor back oh my God is this

23:34

what would have happened to Zuko if he

23:35

never found the Avatar yeesh yeah I

23:38

don't know if I have that much to say

23:39

about this guy his villainous turn makes

23:41

sense his scene where he basically tells

23:43

Carl he killed a bunch of people is

23:44

really intimidating you hate his ass

23:46

when he sets fire to the house he tries

23:48

to murder a child which is always fun he

23:50

just really works for what the movie

23:52

needs let this be a lesson never meet

23:55

your Heroes more often than not they

23:58

will turn out to be a violent murderer

24:00

bird poacher I know this from real life

24:03

experience but nobody cares about

24:05

hearing that story I bet so let's move

24:08

on erle is just Chick Hicks but Italian

24:12

and also actually relevant during most

24:13

of the story he doesn't have the same

24:15

meme factor to him but he is a pretty

24:18

funny rival character I love when he

24:20

commands his one subordinate to slap the

24:22

other or how he goes on about how great

24:24

and Superior to everyone else he is it's

24:26

fun he's not maniacally evil but he fits

24:29

the story super well just being a big

24:31

I like the part in the ending

24:33

race where he excitedly talks about

24:34

killing some sea monsters complete with

24:36

a flash of lightning but his delivery

24:38

and silhouette aren't really that scary

24:40

and then Julia murders him by knocking

24:42

him off his bike it's just a great jux

24:44

position between the threat he wants to

24:46

be versus the pathetic little boy he

24:49

actually is he's a great character I

24:51

like him a lot and I like Luca a lot

24:53

it's really underrated and I don't know

24:55

why we stopped talking about it it's a

24:56

pretty simple movie sure but it's so

24:59

Charming come on can we get more of this

25:02

and less of Elemental please Pixar so we

25:05

back in the mind Stinky Pete the first

25:08

ever twist villain from either Disney or

25:10

Pixar at least I think that's true for

25:12

Disney I don't remember anyway yeah he's

25:14

a pretty good one he just wants to go to

25:17

Japan ooh he's such a weeb w that

25:20

automatically makes him one of the

25:22

greatest villains to come out of the

25:23

studio but what I especially like about

25:25

him is the fact that everything he does

25:27

throughout the movie makes sense the

25:29

entire time he's gently telling Woody

25:32

how long will it last with Andy you

25:34

should stay with us and last forever

25:37

essentially getting his way through

25:39

clever manipulation then when he finally

25:41

can't appeal to Woody through words

25:42

anymore he says you we're going to

25:45

anime land and you're going to like it

25:47

his goals remain consistent throughout

25:49

the film it's just his manner of going

25:51

about it that drastically changes once

25:53

he has no choice I also like the fact

25:55

that he's so adamant that being

25:57

immortalized in this museum is way

25:59

better than being played with by a child

26:01

because he's never experienced that he

26:04

never got sold and he's bitter and

26:06

jealous as a result hell would he could

26:08

have just sprung his Kingdom Hearts 3

26:10

speech on Stinky Pete and it would have

26:11

been applicable my guess is that no

26:13

one's ever loved Pete before because

26:16

Pete knows nothing about hearts and love

26:20

he never got a chance to make a child

26:22

happy so he convinced himself that

26:24

getting played with by children sucks

26:26

and he wants Woody and Jesse to con to

26:28

his way of thinking too bad the

26:30

indomitable bonds between children and

26:33

their toys exist you dumb

26:35

pretty good villain overall

26:37

even if he tends to get overshadowed by

26:39

another Toy Story villain we'll get to

26:42

Skinner I'm a big fan of the funny

26:44

envelope opening meme guy it's pretty

26:47

fun to watch this little dude with a

26:48

short temper take command of the kitchen

26:50

he is far more understatedly hatable

26:53

actions than most Pixar villains such as

26:55

exploiting the image of his dead friend

26:57

to make a merchandisable frozen food

26:59

chain and he's just funny as you

27:01

got to love his increasing paranoia as

27:03

No One Believes this Phantom rat he's

27:05

chasing really exists he's a great

27:07

effective villain for 2third of the film

27:10

but like I said in my big ass

27:11

Ratatouille review many years ago I

27:14

think he kind of overstays his welcome

27:16

within the narrative a bit you don't

27:18

need him in the third act and he's

27:20

probably the weakest part of it

27:21

considering how much more investing in

27:23

the Anton ego stuff is but that doesn't

27:25

stop him from being one of the alltime

27:27

Great Pixar villains Patrick and I were

27:29

always really fond of the part where he

27:31

says but the rat is stole my documents

27:34

we quoted that a lot like you ever have

27:36

that thing you quote with your friends a

27:38

ton even though there's never a good in

27:40

context reason to say it that's what

27:42

that was I have never once gotten my

27:44

documents stolen by a rat but boy did I

27:47

love randomly saying that line yes or no

27:50

headshake from a

27:53

rat I steal everything I was honestly

27:56

really surprised to tally up my thoughts

27:58

on all these baddies and determine that

28:00

Ernesto De La Cruz made it up so high I

28:04

mean he's a Twist villain that came

28:06

straight out of the twist villain

28:08

overuse era of the 2010s how did he worm

28:11

his way past characters to get way more

28:13

villainous screen time I think it all

28:15

comes down to hatte ability and the

28:17

impact of his actions like I said all

28:19

those years ago in my twist villains

28:21

video Ernesto works because he's not

28:23

some secret Mastermind manipulating the

28:25

main conflict of the story leading to an

28:27

under weling gotcha reveal by the end he

28:30

did one evil thing about a century ago

28:34

poisoning his best friend and stealing

28:36

his music in order to get famous already

28:38

a massive hatable dick move but it's the

28:41

unintended impact that really makes this

28:44

so much worse Hector was just trying to

28:46

return home to his family that's all he

28:49

wanted to do and since he never got to

28:51

do that thanks to this they

28:53

assumed he abandoned them for

28:54

generations and nearly forgot about him

28:57

as they drilled a hate for music into

28:59

the heads of everyone in the family all

29:01

because someone just couldn't make it on

29:03

his own without stealing and taking

29:06

credit for his best friend songs but it

29:08

worked for so long Ernesto committed the

29:11

Perfect Crime one so perfect that he

29:14

literally showed everyone what happened

29:16

in one of his movies and no one ever

29:18

suspected him the sheer ego and

29:21

arrogance to not only attempt that but

29:23

pull it off as well is truly remarkable

29:27

you also got to ad his willingness to

29:29

throw a child to his death just to

29:30

protect his reputation that's always

29:32

great to see he loses some points

29:33

because to this day I don't understand

29:36

why he didn't just tear up the photo of

29:37

Hector like it is the easiest solution

29:40

in the whole world what the heck is his

29:42

problem etc etc and his ultimate defeat

29:45

is a little similar to another Pixar

29:47

villain later in the list while also

29:48

feeling a lot less natural here do you

29:51

need to exposit everything about the

29:53

situation out loud my guy that's how you

29:56

get caught in 4k and booed off the stage

29:58

age overall the kind of twist villain

30:00

you actually hate for being hatable

30:03

rather than for being pathetic he really

30:05

works for what the movie needs don't

30:08

forget Randall hey look at that it's

30:09

Randall Randall is one of the most good

30:11

oldfashioned villains in Pixar's entire

30:14

catalog no twists no he is a

30:18

hater and he is making that fact known

30:20

from the second he first appears on

30:22

screen I guess I should talk about him

30:24

in the prequel film Monsters University

30:26

first yeah I don't know about you guys

30:28

but I like the backstory it gives him

30:29

how he and Mike start off on good terms

30:31

as roommates before he falls in with the

30:33

wrong crowd and becomes a complete

30:35

douchy I honestly think it's

30:37

believable the way they acted Monsters

30:38

Inc with the knowledge that their former

30:40

roommates who had a fallen out in fact I

30:42

believe their hatred for each other more

30:44

since they were former roommates but

30:46

back to the ink Randall is just classic

30:49

pretty much everything you can ask for

30:51

in a villain Under the Disney umbrella

30:53

he's equal parts funny and menacing

30:56

owing a lot of his comedic appeal to

30:58

Bush's delightfully slimy delivery while

31:01

also having a great creepy design and

31:03

intimidating invisibility Powers

31:05

honestly if you replace the chameleon

31:07

with Randall then I think most of Kung

31:09

Fu Panda 4's problems would be solved I

31:11

don't know if I have a ton more to say

31:12

here Randall just works exceptionally

31:14

well as this everpresent persistent

31:17

rival turned lunatic torture machine

31:20

extractor you really get the sense that

31:21

he's not building the scream extractor

31:23

for the good of the company or Monster

31:26

Society at large he probably just sees

31:28

it as the ultimate way to one up Sully

31:30

and Mike just fantastic his pettiness

31:34

his sliminess the sadistic Delight he

31:36

takes in nearly murdering his rival

31:39

what's not to love with Randall come on

31:41

are you saying I'm stupid yes A Bug's

31:44

Life is not exactly ranking very highly

31:47

on a list of any kind unless it's a

31:50

Pixar villain one in which case yeah

31:52

they were on to something here Hopper is

31:54

undoubtedly the highlight of the film

31:57

for me the hero are fine but it's one of

31:59

those movies where the villain really

32:01

steals the show he only shows up in two

32:04

scenes during the first hour and yet his

32:06

shadow lingers over all of it the entire

32:09

plot revolves around the dread of his

32:11

imminent return after he demands double

32:14

the usual amount of food and said dread

32:16

is really enhanced by what a great first

32:19

impression he makes he's just

32:21

effortlessly intimidating while also

32:23

being charismatic in a crooked and

32:25

Sinister sort of way a lot of this comes

32:27

from his creepy design and rough skin

32:29

texture though rather unfortunately I do

32:32

have to say that it's Kevin spacy's

32:34

vocal performance that really makes this

32:36

character as great a villain as he is I

32:38

guess it's pretty fitting since Kevin

32:40

spy is evil in real life but yeah so

32:42

many of this character's lines are just

32:44

dripping with malice I've also always

32:47

loved the scene where he uses grains as

32:49

a metaphor to prove the might of

32:50

hundreds of ants he makes his point

32:52

quite vividly by pretty much murdering

32:54

these dudes right in front of all the

32:56

others it really effectively establishes

32:59

why he's in charge and why everyone

33:01

continues to follow his orders but

33:03

mainly Hopper makes for such a great

33:05

villain because he's the textbook

33:07

definition of an oppressor no other

33:10

Pixar villain uproots the life of an

33:12

entire group like this nor does any

33:15

other Pixar villain feel quite as

33:17

significant to the film's overall

33:19

message fight back rise up against

33:22

oppression the moral wouldn't feel

33:24

nearly as potent if the villain wasn't

33:26

so effective ively evil but thankfully

33:30

he is oh and his interactions with his

33:33

brother are comedy gold that's good too

33:36

CEO entrepreneur yeah monster zinc is

33:39

that movie that needed two spots on this

33:41

list because as great of a villain as

33:43

Randall is I feel like he's Often

33:46

overshadowed by The Twist villain who

33:48

got significantly less screen time how

33:51

does that happen simple really water

33:53

noose is just that good while most twist

33:57

villains steel pulled out of the movie's

33:59

ass I feel like it would be more of an

34:00

ass pull if the CEO wasn't in on the

34:03

evil plan in this movie that's not to

34:05

say what noose is predictable as a Twist

34:07

villain because well the movie already

34:09

has a villain a really good one Randall

34:12

so not only is it a surprise for the

34:14

movie to throw in a second antagonist

34:16

but it's also a surprise that he's

34:18

genuinely a better villain there's

34:21

actually a good deal of foreshadowing

34:22

hinting at his true nature such as in

34:24

the commercial when he says monster zinc

34:26

is researching new energy techniques yep

34:29

they sure are or when he earnestly tells

34:31

Sully that he would do anything to keep

34:33

this company from going under yep he

34:35

sure would now that we live in an age

34:38

where CEOs are more actively and loudly

34:41

evil than ever something about this guy

34:44

just really hits close to home I'm not

34:47

saying David zaslav would kidnap and

34:50

torture children if he got some sort of

34:51

tax write off for it that would go

34:53

towards further raising his salary I'll

34:55

kidnap a thousand children before I let

34:57

the company di I'm also not not saying

35:00

it but yeah it's hard to argue that

35:02

water noose isn't one of the most

35:04

morally corrupt characters in The Pixar

35:07

Cannon being totally okay with hooking

35:09

children up to a terrifying suction

35:11

machine and extracting their screams

35:14

which I don't even want to know the

35:15

details of that all because he doesn't

35:17

want his company to go under oh no won't

35:21

someone think of the poor company you

35:25

know what that makes it okay you can

35:26

kidnap all the children you want now

35:28

there are some other good attributes to

35:30

him as a villain like his design is

35:31

really intimidating but you kind of get

35:33

used to it due to his warm demeanor

35:35

throughout most of the film then when

35:36

the mask comes off it's like oh yeah

35:38

this guy looks horrifying I forgot I

35:40

also appreciate that he feels realistic

35:43

in the sense that he does regret the

35:45

situation with Mike and Sully he doesn't

35:47

want to banish them and he tells off

35:49

Randall for having to do this even

35:51

noting what a good scarer Sully is it's

35:53

way more logical than if he had just

35:55

flipped on a dime and not shown any care

35:57

for is Proto whatsoever like some twist

36:00

villains I know but yeah for the most

36:02

part his entire character honestly boils

36:05

down to that one iconic line in the

36:09

ending I'll kidnap a thousand children

36:11

before I let this company die doesn't

36:13

that just say it all I honestly don't

36:15

think I need to justify this placement

36:17

any further it's hard to get more evil

36:20

than this and yet two Pixar villains did

36:25

you have been replaced all right these

36:28

past few villains have been pretty great

36:30

and stuff but these top two are the only

36:33

ones I would declare to be among some of

36:36

the best villains in animation history

36:40

absolute top tier stuff we're working

36:42

with now and to start off let's take a

36:45

look at the Sinister murderous dictator

36:47

who I constantly see plushies and

36:48

merchandise of at the mall strawberries

36:51

look all I'm saying is whether I'm a kid

36:53

or an adult I would not find any comfort

36:56

snuggling up to this facei after

36:58

watching Toy Story 3 quite the opposite

37:00

in fact to this day latzo is the only

37:03

Pixar villain who I have seen compared

37:05

to Adolf Hitler multiple times I'm not

37:08

trying to say that's an apt comparison I

37:10

personally wouldn't go that far I'm just

37:11

saying multiple people have come to that

37:14

conclusion it's a real Testament to

37:15

great voice acting and great writing

37:18

that he manages to be as Sinister as he

37:19

is looking like that I really like his

37:22

tragic backstory and how the movie

37:24

doesn't even attempt to use that as a

37:26

way to sympathize with him just just as

37:27

a way to explain his actions he's

37:29

basically the equivalent of Woody in the

37:31

first film being bitter and resentful

37:33

that someone else has replaced him

37:35

except he channels those feelings into a

37:37

far darker path it's not enough to just

37:40

go in this daycare and be loved by kids

37:42

he has to exert control over the entire

37:45

place over his former friends over all

37:48

the innocent toys here all to make up

37:51

for the loss of control in his own life

37:54

see if I were loto I would have just

37:56

killed the new loto that's seems a lot

37:57

easier he's a great manipulator not only

38:00

intimidating Chuckles into keeping quiet

38:02

about the fact that he and big baby

38:04

weren't replaced but also convincing

38:06

Buzz that the new toys should be stuck

38:08

with the little kids since the older

38:09

toys can't handle that kind of playtime

38:11

anymore it sounds like a pretty

38:12

reasonable explanation even though it's

38:14

all a front for this Twisted cast system

38:17

he's concocted hell even before that the

38:20

fact that he walks in on the buzz

38:21

torture scene and has the gall to be all

38:23

like oh no no no that's not how we do

38:26

things it's on his side it's like he

38:28

relishes in manipulating people hell you

38:31

can also see it when he throws Woody's

38:32

hat to the ground as if to say yeah we

38:35

got him no you didn't he got

38:38

away but his friends don't need to know

38:40

that they only need to know what the

38:42

master propagandist tells them but the

38:45

thing that really cements this guy as

38:47

one of the most Twisted

38:49

I've ever seen in an animated film is of

38:52

course the climax the gang is all at the

38:54

dump headed for the incinerator a

38:56

situation loto dragged them into

38:59

literally as he grabbed a hold of Woody

39:01

inside the dumpster hey how did he get

39:04

high enough to grab him I've always

39:05

wondered that it doesn't look like this

39:07

trash was stackable enough to form a

39:09

ladder and how did the alien get trapped

39:11

underneath this lid because logistically

39:13

based on the way he was running that

39:15

that doesn't make sense boy I hope

39:17

Disney addresses all of these incredibly

39:19

valid and movie ruining problems when

39:22

they remake this film in live action

39:24

anyway even after all that Woody and

39:26

Buzz risked their Liv to save loto from

39:28

the saw blade they are just too good to

39:30

this guy who frankly doesn't deserve any

39:33

sympathy but regardless they save him

39:35

and expect to be saved in return when

39:37

they give him a boost to turn off the

39:39

conveyor belt that's leading them into

39:40

the furnace and I knew even as a kid I

39:44

knew he wasn't going to turn it off but

39:46

that doesn't make this moment any less

39:49

appalling where's your kid now Sheriff

39:52

what does he even have to gain from

39:54

letting them die in this moment he shows

39:57

his true colors for all to see just a

40:00

completely irredeemable monstrous

40:03

sociopath who quite frankly deserve to

40:06

die Pixar usually isn't one to kill off

40:08

its antagonists in his gleefully

40:10

gruesome ways as Disney but oh my god

40:12

did this guy deserve to get run over by

40:14

a garbage truck or something not tied to

40:16

the hood of one that's so lame I am out

40:19

for stuffing when I see this dumb

40:21

overall a fantastic villain one who

40:24

would by far be the crowning Jewel of

40:26

Pixar's Rogue Gallery if it wasn't for

40:34

well yeah I think we all knew he wasn't

40:37

going to be topped syndrome is one of

40:39

the all-time great Superhero Movie

40:41

Villains marrying some truly heinous and

40:44

evil actions with some insanely

40:46

hilarious mannerisms and line deliveries

40:49

he of course starts out as the dorkiest

40:51

Fanboy ever known to man constantly

40:53

annoying Mr Incredible as he tries and

40:55

fails to prove himself a worthy sidekick

40:57

he's kind of like if r/j fillis was

40:59

Consolidated into a single person

41:01

honestly and then the movie flashes

41:03

forward and you kind of forget about him

41:04

for a while until the big reveal that

41:06

he's the mysterious benefactor

41:08

requesting hero work out of Bob it's all

41:11

part of his plan to systematically

41:12

isolate and Destroy every single

41:15

superhero as revenge for being shunned

41:17

by Bob all those years ago yeah he

41:20

committed superhero genocide solely

41:22

because of his bitterness and resentment

41:24

towards one guy that's genuinely insane

41:27

as memorable and fantastic as his screen

41:29

presence is the scene that perfectly

41:31

lays out how Sinister and ruthless he is

41:33

doesn't even feature him it just has Bob

41:36

going through the records on his

41:37

computer and seeing that his friends and

41:39

colleagues have all been wiped out it

41:41

really hits different than any other

41:43

scene the studio has concocted going far

41:45

beyond just being a signature Pixar sad

41:48

moment and veering into some

41:49

unexpectedly dark territory and it all

41:52

came from this for lack of a better word

41:54

goofball in spite of his murderous sin

41:57

Sinister Tendencies syndrome remains

41:59

just as much of a Goofy Goober as he was

42:02

in his Youth and the resulting mixture

42:04

is just so tantalizing of a character

42:07

and villain after he sends out the life

42:09

form scanner and it tells him Mr

42:11

Incredible has been terminated I cannot

42:13

get that smirk he gives out of my head

42:16

it's the perfect midpoint between being

42:18

evil and a complete dork and it's one of

42:21

so many facial expressions and line

42:23

deliveries that give this guy an almost

42:26

overwhelming amount of personality I

42:28

mean you really can't beat the one two

42:30

delivery punch of and

42:34

got and oh this is just too good to say

42:38

Jason Lee killed it in this role would

42:40

be an understatement and speaking of

42:42

killing his Relentless murder of all

42:44

these superheroes is only outmatched by

42:46

his gleeful indifference to killing

42:48

children with a ballistic missile we've

42:50

had Pixar villains try and kill kids

42:52

before like Ernesto and MTS but to them

42:54

it was more so a means to an end they

42:57

didn't seem to Relish in it quite like

42:59

syndrome did ultimately his plan to

43:01

defeat his own robot and artificially

43:03

make himself a hero goes Haywire but

43:06

this pathetic display does nothing to

43:08

diminish how twisted and vile he is

43:11

rather it perfectly suits the main

43:13

conceit of the character that he isn't a

43:16

hero and can never become one that's not

43:19

due to his lack of powers rather it's a

43:21

result of his actions an irredeemable

43:24

moral compass some people tend to view

43:26

the incredible R's message as advocating

43:28

for people who are born special to do

43:30

special things that people who aren't

43:32

born special just shouldn't Aspire

43:35

towards I don't think that's really what

43:36

the movie is saying just because the

43:38

villain doesn't have superpowers but

43:40

that's just my read of the text and

43:42

others are equally valid ultimately it

43:44

doesn't do anything to diminish or

43:46

discredit the unique brand of malice

43:49

syndrome brings to the Pixar Canon he is

43:51

undoubtedly the most evil villain

43:53

they've ever created and I don't think

43:55

anyone can really argue against that and

43:58

that sheer callousness combined with an

44:01

undeniable nerdy charm that never goes

44:03

away no matter the circumstance he's in

44:05

makes for a villain so consistently

44:08

threatening so funny so quotable so

44:12

memorable that he undoubtedly stands as

44:15

one of the greatest animated villains of

44:18

all time as well as easily the greatest

44:22

Pixar villain well that was my list

44:25

sorry to all two fans a Thunderclap out

44:28

there n actually that's a really

44:29

generous estimate never mind well that

44:31

was a pretty fun video to make and now

44:33

that it's over I can finally fund the

44:35

video that I'm actually really psyched

44:37

for ranking all the Pikman villains uh

44:41

number one

44:49

Lou and that's it thanks for watching

44:52

everyone good night TR state area
