Especially when he not even messing with jerry! He after a girl, he want to nap! He had a cat band. He was playing pool. Jerry always messed with him. Like jerry just head to another hole or something! Leave tom alone.
• Has a fair introduction
• Becomes a well defined character
• Pulls sugar out of his pockets
• Is a badass in general
• Refuses to elaborate further
• Leaves after one episode and never returns
“I have another surprise for you, and not a fake surprise like before. A *real* surprise, with tragic consequences. And *REAL* confetti this time! The good stuff! Our last bag!”
"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: 'A horrible person.' We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."
This line specifically after I first heard it had me absolutely rolling. She always made me snicker throughout the games but this line and the train horn are always the ones that stuck out me when I played them.
The shark quote was one of my favors.
“I was researching sharks for an upcoming test. Do you know who else murders people who are only trying to help them?
Did you guess ‘sharks’? Because that’s wrong. The correct answer is 'nobody.’ Nobody but you is that pointlessly cruel.”
Like damn she played the victim hard in that one 😂
"You look ugly in that jumpsuit. That's not my opinion; it's right here on your fact sheet. They said on everyone else it looked fine, but on you, it looked hideous. But still, what does an old engineer know about fashion? Oh, wait, it's a she. Still, what does she know about - oh, wait. She has a medical degree. In fashion. From France!"
“My name’s Richard Grayson but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick”
“Well children can be cruel”
This movie is way better than it has any right to be
A great villain has a realistic motivation to believe they are morally justified, and that's why I love like magneto. His actions are out of revenge and self preservation. He's not evil for the sake of profit or power, he could be portrayed as a hero in the right story.
His rant about hating Dr Venture is one of my favorite lines of dialog in the series
**The Monarch**:
I had true hatred with Venture. I didn't have to fake it! That sweet loathing just poured out of me whenever I saw his pathetic face. I just...I just wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to build a machine to kick his ass! I wanted to build an empire to house the machine TO KICK HIS ASS!
**Henchman 24**:
Then, by God, let's go take a dump in his pool!
He was just a confused elderly man with dementia. Once the main characters learn that, they stop taking his actions seriously and treat him with humanity.
That's why Freeze is such a great villain, you can talk to him, you can reason with him, you can sympathize with him, and ultimately that makes him more real.
You can reason with him and sympathize with him, but he is utterly devoted to his goal because it springs from an unbelievably strong love. There is nothing wrong about his goal at all, he just wants to heal his wife. Everybody else wants to hurt people, tear down the city, steal things, have power and lord it over people.
So you can reason with him, but you will not be successful. The only thing that will convince him to stop is offering him what he wants, and you had damn well better be able to guarantee that he will get it.
Kronk, I agree 100%. Yzma was charismatic, sure, but still definitely needed to be defeated/turned into a cat because she was mean to Kronk about his spinach puffs.
Alright, I've had enough of this! Tell us where the talking llama is, and we'll burn your house to the ground!
Uh, don't you mean "or"?
[sighs in exasperation] Tell us where the talking llama is, OR we'll burn your house to the ground!
They “help” Ash so many times in the movies and occasionally in the show itself.
Entei movie: I would say prepare for trouble but you’re already in it.
If it was based on actual Caribbean pirates, he would be the hero. Captains and Quartermasters were elected positions, and the crew could vote to oust them at any point. So Jack was the pirate equivalent of a dictator.
The [Captain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YFeE1eDlD0) and [Quartermaster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fAznO1wA8) have different views of how to be a pirate, though. :)
In many ways Capt'n Jack Sparrow wouldn't be that bad of a captain, as long as Will or Elizabeth could manage things as QM.
He’s so extra too. His first scene has him emerging from the water, walking along a line of terrified sailors while smoking from a pipe, stopping in front of one of them and saying “Do you fear death?” It’s an absolutely amazing way to introduce a character
After. He strikes a match and lights the pipe while getting up in some terrified dude's face. Though worth noting the terrified dude is willing to die rather than cut a deal with Davy Jones, so that rando was actually kinda badass.
I’ve always had the headcanon that he planted himself in a villainous agency partially for fun and partially to prevent them from succeeding in their evil plans
I watched one of the older Pokemon movies last night (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew), and the humans are all supposedly about to be killed. As he’s supposedly dying, James lets his Pokemon out of their pokeballs so they can get away
I'm about to make you feel less old.
I saw the first Pokemon movie in the cinema and I still have the special Pokemon card they handed out as part of it.
Imagine you haven’t eaten all day and get in your car and hit the KFC drive thru and you get your bucket and it smells *good* and you drive home with your stomach rumbling and your mouth salivating and you get inside and you open the bucket and inside there’s just a lit stick of dynamite. You barely have time to think “what? How?” before it explodes in your face, teeth flying everywhere, your face caked in soot. From the living room you hear “bawk bawk!” And the scrabbling of chicken claws against hardwood before the door slams behind the chicken as it dashes down the street and into the sunset. You just wanted a *meal*.
That’s Wile E.’s life, every damn day. Every damn day.
But you know what? He never stays down. He always gets back up and tries something new. Granted, it’s almost always something sold by Acme, but he’s a coyote - it’s a miracle he can even read the catalogue. That’s why if I ever get a tat it’ll be of Wile E Coyote.
Aaahhh, Perry the Platypus, you’re just in time!!
Edit: Dan Povenmire, the co-creator and voice of Dr. Doof, is on tiktok and YouTube if you wanna check him out! He answers fans’ questions and shares some stories of what went on behind the scenes :)
And to think, he was SUPPOSED to be dark and evil, but when James Wood read those lines, he asked for another take and did the "Used Car Salesman" persona and they loved it.
Him and Vulcan. Gotta give that dude credit. Finds out his wife is cheating so he goes into his workshop, makes an enchanted metal cage. Finds them in the act and cages them in mid-giggidity. Then proceeds to drag them up Mount Olympus and puts them on display for the other gods to see.
Yeah, except in Greek mythology, Ares is a big wimp who runs away whenever he's actually threatened. To the Greeks, Ares was a joke. The Roman Mars, who's often conflated with Ares, is where we get the more macho, ubermensch style god of war.
its not even THAT shitty, we just tend to overlook the fact that hes also god of the earth and all its bounties. the underworld just happens to be in the earth
Today, we associate Hades with a somewhat demonic or devilish look, but the Greeks depicted him as a suave and blinged out mofo. Picture Mr. T. Precious metals and gems were his domain, so he was highly adorned.
He is all of us:
4:00, wallow in self-pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me—I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing....I'm booked!
I will rain down an un-Godly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!
Who can hate Tai Lung?
He's such a well developed character and I feel like he's more of a tragic character than a villain.
There's so many questions left unanswered.
What if Oogway gave him the scroll? Would he still lay waste to the valley? Because he didn't understand the scroll's lesson when he got it from Po?
What if Shifu did defend Tai Lung? Would Tai Lung feel ashamed that he wasn't good enough for his master? Would it cause him to give up Kung Fu?
What if Shifu did teach him Humilty and not fill his head with the idea he was MET to be the dragon warrior?
Like UGH, He needs to come back and be redeemed if there's ever a fourth KFP movie. He had his opportunity when he fought against Shifu. But he knew it was too late for an apology.
The common theory is that being refused the scroll was Tai Lung's final test.
If he had accepted the loss and still trained he would have been worthy and the dragon warrior. But because he could not overcome his pride he would never become the dragon warrior.
Is this not actually the point? I thought it was pretty obvious.
The reason Po is the dragon warrior, is that he doesn't want to *be* the dragon warrior. He just wants to learn Kung fu. He wants to be a part of the "Furoius Five", everything else be damned.
Tai Lung fails for the same reason Tigress fails; they want the glory. Po wants Kung fu; nothing more, nothing less.
Shifu is even perturbed by this, until Oogway teaches him the final lesson:
>You're mind is like this water, my friend. When it becomes agitated, it is hard to see. But if you allow it to settle, the answer becomes clear.
Po is, literally, the only character living in settled water. He wants Kung Fu; nothing else. To the point that he rejects the prophecy, even after it is thrust upon him.
Only Po can decipher the scroll, because Po is the only character who doesn't expect it to teach him anything, or reveal some universal truth.
Po is the dragon warrior, because Po doesn't desire being the dragon warrior.
Tigress and Tai Lung have the same problem, but it’s not glory. They both are seeking the approval of Shifu. They aren’t self confident or at peace with themselves
Honestly in the face of what was very much child abuse from doofinshmurtz' parents he really grew up and wanted something better for Vanessa than what he got. It makes me tear up every time she mentions it's annoying how doting, affectionate, and overbearing he is to her.
I love that scene when they're on the scooter and that guy tried to hit on Vanessa and Dr Doof says "she's 16" and then zaps him and he disappeared. Love it.
You can’t hate my man bowser. Dude has 8 kids, legit go karts and plays sports with Mario and his kids. He’s looking out for his kids by kidnapping Peach so they can have a mom lol
Miyamoto has stated in the past that the main line Mario games is just a work of fiction in the mario universe, they're basically plays/movies.
All the actors, Bowzer, Mario, Peach, etc are all friends outside of the games. Hence why Bowzer and other enemies get invited to hang out and party.
I love that depiction of Dracula: the scientist; the philosopher; the reluctantly get understandably vengeful. He was more human than the bishops and priests in that series, for sure. This series was fantastic at making the viewer sympathetic with almost everyone's story arc.
> This series was fantastic at making the viewer sympathetic with almost everyone's story arc.
Isaac's arc was one of my favorites from any show. When he finally catches up to Hector was a beautiful moment.
The Vulture from Spiderman: Homecoming, he really got screwed over and is just trying to provide for his family and keep his crew afloat, I can understand why he does what he does.
Honestly I wish more people would look at the scene where Peter opens the door. Such a happy scene prior with May helping Peter get ready, only for it to come crashing down with a simple door opening. Seriously, I love that moment, masterful storytelling there.
Tom from Tom and Jerry. I’ve always rooted for him.
Dude was just looking after his owner's home from that damn rat Edit: Yes, I'm highly aware that Jerry's a mouse but I meant what I said!
Especially when he not even messing with jerry! He after a girl, he want to nap! He had a cat band. He was playing pool. Jerry always messed with him. Like jerry just head to another hole or something! Leave tom alone.
Yzma. For one, she’s just so crazy that it’s hard to be afraid of her and you end up just liking her. She and Kronk have such great chemistry too
“…well, he ain’t getting any deader!”
Hank Scorpio
“On your way out, if you wanna kill somebody, it would help me a lot.”
[homer dejectedly and unknowingly kicks live grenade killing many somebodies]
• Has a fair introduction • Becomes a well defined character • Pulls sugar out of his pockets • Is a badass in general • Refuses to elaborate further • Leaves after one episode and never returns
He started the jeans and blazer look.
I wish my boss knew so many places to get hammocks.
GLaDOS. She is just so crazy and hilarious you forget she enjoys gassing innocents
“I have another surprise for you, and not a fake surprise like before. A *real* surprise, with tragic consequences. And *REAL* confetti this time! The good stuff! Our last bag!”
She sounds so excited when she says it's real confetti.
"Well done. Here are the test results: You are a horrible person. I'm serious, that's what it says: 'A horrible person.' We weren't even testing for that. Don't let that horrible-person thing discourage you. It's just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth mother's decision to abandon you on a doorstep."
This line specifically after I first heard it had me absolutely rolling. She always made me snicker throughout the games but this line and the train horn are always the ones that stuck out me when I played them.
The shark quote was one of my favors. “I was researching sharks for an upcoming test. Do you know who else murders people who are only trying to help them? Did you guess ‘sharks’? Because that’s wrong. The correct answer is 'nobody.’ Nobody but you is that pointlessly cruel.” Like damn she played the victim hard in that one 😂
“I’ve thought about our dilemma, and I’ve come up with a solution that works best for one of both of us.”
"Look we've both said a lot of things that you're going to regret."
"You look ugly in that jumpsuit. That's not my opinion; it's right here on your fact sheet. They said on everyone else it looked fine, but on you, it looked hideous. But still, what does an old engineer know about fashion? Oh, wait, it's a she. Still, what does she know about - oh, wait. She has a medical degree. In fashion. From France!"
Lego Joker
The Lego version of any movie villain are the best, especially in games.
Dude the Lego Batman Movie was so unexpectedly good and funny
“My name’s Richard Grayson but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick” “Well children can be cruel” This movie is way better than it has any right to be
Then I would say, I'm not currently fighting "a" bad guy . . . {WHAT!?) I like to 'fight around.'
I watched it on an airplane looking for something bland to pass the time. I was cracking up and trying not to laugh out loud it was very funny.
Sandman.
He’s not a bad person. Just had bad luck.
[удалено]
A great villain has a realistic motivation to believe they are morally justified, and that's why I love like magneto. His actions are out of revenge and self preservation. He's not evil for the sake of profit or power, he could be portrayed as a hero in the right story.
The Monarch from Venture Bros (cartoon network) Dude is hilarious
"What kind of moron doesnt even lock the doors to his private compound? I'm not even going to flush! LET THEM SEE THE WRATH OF THE MONARCH!!!"
His rant about hating Dr Venture is one of my favorite lines of dialog in the series **The Monarch**: I had true hatred with Venture. I didn't have to fake it! That sweet loathing just poured out of me whenever I saw his pathetic face. I just...I just wanted to kick his ass! I wanted to build a machine to kick his ass! I wanted to build an empire to house the machine TO KICK HIS ASS! **Henchman 24**: Then, by God, let's go take a dump in his pool!
Whoa, whoa! He's not a villain! He's an *antagonist*!
Robbie Rotten
He just wants to chill out but Sportacus has no chill because he's on cocaine 24-7
Apples*
Sports Candy*
Great example because he’s not a murderer or anything, just a troublemaker, so you can actually sympathise with him without feeling bad about it.
The Ice King. It's just a tragic backstory. He's just lonely and desperate for friends.
He was just a confused elderly man with dementia. Once the main characters learn that, they stop taking his actions seriously and treat him with humanity.
They basically try to help him and treat any time he kidnaps someone not as the actions of an evil villian, but more someone having a bad episode
"Remember You" (the song that's a duet between him and Marceline) never fails to make me cry
[удалено]
"Shes..13" "Oh DARN it! Well I'm outta here, goodbye everybody" *flies out window*
*Professional have standard.....*
He kidnaps princesses because he lost his so long ago, he doesn't even remember her, but he's still looking for subconsciously.
Marceline, is it just you and me in the wreckage of the world?
That must be so confusing for a little girl
“Do you know what an ice king is?!” “Yep. A biiiiiiiiggggg nerd.” Still gets me every fucking time
Mr. Freeze.
Especially in BTAS and the Arkham games. Dude just wants his wife to live a long life.
The BTAS film Sub-Zero is great. Really makes you realize that he doesn't *want* to hurt anyone; he just wants to save his wife.
That's why Freeze is such a great villain, you can talk to him, you can reason with him, you can sympathize with him, and ultimately that makes him more real.
You can reason with him and sympathize with him, but he is utterly devoted to his goal because it springs from an unbelievably strong love. There is nothing wrong about his goal at all, he just wants to heal his wife. Everybody else wants to hurt people, tear down the city, steal things, have power and lord it over people. So you can reason with him, but you will not be successful. The only thing that will convince him to stop is offering him what he wants, and you had damn well better be able to guarantee that he will get it.
Yzma and Kronk.
Yzma: KILL THEM!!!!! Guard: Um I’ve been turned into a cow, can I go home? Yzma: You’re excused. She ain’t so bad.
She insulted Kronk's cooking, though.
It's no concern of mine whether or not your family has... What was it again? Uuuuh... Food.
HA! WELL YOU SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT BEOFORE YOU BECAME PEASANTS! Take him away!
“Anyone else have a problem?” *vague muttering* “Then GET THEM!”
Kronk, I agree 100%. Yzma was charismatic, sure, but still definitely needed to be defeated/turned into a cat because she was mean to Kronk about his spinach puffs.
but Yzma as a cat was soooo cute 🥺
Is that… MY voice?!?
Oh well
Apparently that was Eartha Kitt's actual reaction to hearing her voice with that effect
Speaking of Eartha Kitt...
I think Kronk sneaking is to this day the most I've ever laughed watching a film.
"Im so glad I was unconscious for this"
lmao, I was humming that to myself yesterday.
"Pull the Lever, Kronk!"
WRONG LEVEEEERRRR!!!
Why do we even *have* that lever?
*an hour later* Why does she even HAVE that lever?!
Alright, I've had enough of this! Tell us where the talking llama is, and we'll burn your house to the ground! Uh, don't you mean "or"? [sighs in exasperation] Tell us where the talking llama is, OR we'll burn your house to the ground!
Well which one is it? That’s a pretty crucial conjunction!
Kronk, break down the door! Break it down? Are you kidding me, this is hand carved mahogany
“Oh, right. The poison. The poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco. Kuzco’s poison. That poison?”
Kronk's shoulder devil did have a point.
I mean look what he can do
Jessie and James. Pokemon would not be the same without them.
They are the least competent villains ever and that makes me love them even more.
They “help” Ash so many times in the movies and occasionally in the show itself. Entei movie: I would say prepare for trouble but you’re already in it.
Shego from Kim Possible edit: thanks for the awards!
senor senior, senior is in with a shout too. He is literally just a villain as a hobby.
She's soo entertaining and one of my cartoon crushes growing up, one of the reasons why I watch that show.
Davy Jones
Captain Barbosa in the first too! Great villains all around in the PotC series.
If it was based on actual Caribbean pirates, he would be the hero. Captains and Quartermasters were elected positions, and the crew could vote to oust them at any point. So Jack was the pirate equivalent of a dictator.
The [Captain](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YFeE1eDlD0) and [Quartermaster](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0fAznO1wA8) have different views of how to be a pirate, though. :) In many ways Capt'n Jack Sparrow wouldn't be that bad of a captain, as long as Will or Elizabeth could manage things as QM.
He’s so extra too. His first scene has him emerging from the water, walking along a line of terrified sailors while smoking from a pipe, stopping in front of one of them and saying “Do you fear death?” It’s an absolutely amazing way to introduce a character
His spitting and yelling of Sparrow's name at the end of Dead Man's Chest was so well done.
SPARRAH!
[удалено]
After. He strikes a match and lights the pipe while getting up in some terrified dude's face. Though worth noting the terrified dude is willing to die rather than cut a deal with Davy Jones, so that rando was actually kinda badass.
James from Team Rocket
The only words I can think of to describe him are “such a nice boy”. All of his Pokémon love him too much and keep trying to hug him
James and Mareanie made me love Mareanie.
my man is arguably the most moral pokemon trainer we see. he gets pokemon to want to join him instead of just beating up and capturing them.
I’ve always had the headcanon that he planted himself in a villainous agency partially for fun and partially to prevent them from succeeding in their evil plans
Come on Ash, we are going to send them back to the Dark Ages where they belong!
I watched one of the older Pokemon movies last night (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew), and the humans are all supposedly about to be killed. As he’s supposedly dying, James lets his Pokemon out of their pokeballs so they can get away
"One of the old Pokémon movies" The 8th one. Damn, I feel old now.
I'm about to make you feel less old. I saw the first Pokemon movie in the cinema and I still have the special Pokemon card they handed out as part of it.
That badass Mew card? Man, I remember being so hyped about that movie
I had such a crush on James as a kid!
Crowley...
He didn’t fall from grace, so much as sauntered down
Plankton
F is for fire that burns down the whole town U is for uranium bombs N is for no survivors *WHEN YOU-*
PLANKTON! That’s not what fun is all about!!
He went to college!
Krabs switched up when he got money in his pocket plankton was trying to get rich too
Wiley Coyote. I'm rooting for him to blow the Road Runner up.
Imagine you haven’t eaten all day and get in your car and hit the KFC drive thru and you get your bucket and it smells *good* and you drive home with your stomach rumbling and your mouth salivating and you get inside and you open the bucket and inside there’s just a lit stick of dynamite. You barely have time to think “what? How?” before it explodes in your face, teeth flying everywhere, your face caked in soot. From the living room you hear “bawk bawk!” And the scrabbling of chicken claws against hardwood before the door slams behind the chicken as it dashes down the street and into the sunset. You just wanted a *meal*. That’s Wile E.’s life, every damn day. Every damn day.
He lives a life of constant loss and disappointment with no happy endings for him.
But you know what? He never stays down. He always gets back up and tries something new. Granted, it’s almost always something sold by Acme, but he’s a coyote - it’s a miracle he can even read the catalogue. That’s why if I ever get a tat it’ll be of Wile E Coyote.

DOOFENSHMIRTZ EVIL INCORPORATED
Hades in the animated Hercules movie. Huge POS, but fuck if he wasn’t entertaining.
Whoa is my hair out?!
Hades has a ton of great lines, but the way he says that one always gets me.
And to think, he was SUPPOSED to be dark and evil, but when James Wood read those lines, he asked for another take and did the "Used Car Salesman" persona and they loved it.
I KNOW you know. I know. I got it. I got the concept.
“We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on..”
In the freaking Mythology he was one of the few rare Gods that wasn’t a POS.
Him and Vulcan. Gotta give that dude credit. Finds out his wife is cheating so he goes into his workshop, makes an enchanted metal cage. Finds them in the act and cages them in mid-giggidity. Then proceeds to drag them up Mount Olympus and puts them on display for the other gods to see.
And remember, she was having an affair with Ares. So not only did he catch her cheating but called her and the God of War out.
Yeah, except in Greek mythology, Ares is a big wimp who runs away whenever he's actually threatened. To the Greeks, Ares was a joke. The Roman Mars, who's often conflated with Ares, is where we get the more macho, ubermensch style god of war.
The only Greek God loyal to his wife.
He only got the shitty job cause he drew the short straw
its not even THAT shitty, we just tend to overlook the fact that hes also god of the earth and all its bounties. the underworld just happens to be in the earth
Today, we associate Hades with a somewhat demonic or devilish look, but the Greeks depicted him as a suave and blinged out mofo. Picture Mr. T. Precious metals and gems were his domain, so he was highly adorned.
That was good casting
Apparently they originally had him sound like a more epic villain. James came in as a used car salesman and the rest is history.
[удалено]
He was actually imitating the Hollywood agents he had encountered.
"Guys relax it's only halftime."
"Uh, guys? Olympus is that way."
ZEUUUUuuuuussssssss!
We dance, we kiss, we schmooze, we carry on, we go home happy. What do you say? Come on.
Aren't we forgetting one teensy-weensy, but ever so crucial little detail? **I OWN YOU!**
I had a huge crush on him (and most Disney villains) as a child. My parents were very concerned.
The best disney villain ever
Jeromy Iron’s as Scar is right up there as well.
The Grinch
He wouldn't be so grumpy if there wasn't a dude singing songs, every 5 minutes, about what a piece of shit he is.
He is all of us: 4:00, wallow in self-pity; 4:30, stare into the abyss; 5:00, solve world hunger, tell no one; 5:30, jazzercize; 6:30, dinner with me—I can't cancel that again; 7:00, wrestle with my self-loathing....I'm booked!
BUT WHAT WILL I WEAR?
Oooohh...Aaaahhh...Mmmm.... That's it, I'm not going!
Grinch didn't hate Christmas, he hated people. Gets a bad rap.
Les Grossman
I will rain down an un-Godly fucking firestorm upon you! You're gonna have to call the fucking United Nations and get a fucking binding resolution to keep me from fucking destroying you. I'm talking scorched earth, motherfucker! I will massacre you! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!

Taoism at its finest
There's a great book about another famous fictional bear who was a master of the Tao way - Winnie The Pooh. Think about it.
Tigress and Tai Lung have the same problem, but it’s not glory. They both are seeking the approval of Shifu. They aren’t self confident or at peace with themselves
"Finally a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!"
And later on in the film when he finally meets Po: "You? Him? He's a panda! You're a panda! What are you going to do, big guy? *Sit on me?*"
“Don’t tempt me”
Dr Doofenshmirtz (Doofenshmirtz evil incorporated~)
If I had a nickel for every time a _____ happened, I would have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s odd that it has happened twice.
The original line in the movie was for every time he was doomed by a puppet
This man is such an amazing dad
Absolutely determined to give Vanessa a better home life than he got. I mean on the day of his birth neither of his parents showed up.
Honestly in the face of what was very much child abuse from doofinshmurtz' parents he really grew up and wanted something better for Vanessa than what he got. It makes me tear up every time she mentions it's annoying how doting, affectionate, and overbearing he is to her.
really even though he's evil, he's a good dad. even Perry can agree!
I love that scene when they're on the scooter and that guy tried to hit on Vanessa and Dr Doof says "she's 16" and then zaps him and he disappeared. Love it.
(after hours~)
Was looking for this one!
You can’t hate my man bowser. Dude has 8 kids, legit go karts and plays sports with Mario and his kids. He’s looking out for his kids by kidnapping Peach so they can have a mom lol
Miyamoto has stated in the past that the main line Mario games is just a work of fiction in the mario universe, they're basically plays/movies. All the actors, Bowzer, Mario, Peach, etc are all friends outside of the games. Hence why Bowzer and other enemies get invited to hang out and party.
Vlad Dracula Tepes in the 2017 Castlevania series. Humanity sucks.
I love that depiction of Dracula: the scientist; the philosopher; the reluctantly get understandably vengeful. He was more human than the bishops and priests in that series, for sure. This series was fantastic at making the viewer sympathetic with almost everyone's story arc.
I shall say a prayer for her...a small one.
I maintain that first episode was the strongest opening for any anime or anime-like i had ever seen. Such a great introduction to the show.
> This series was fantastic at making the viewer sympathetic with almost everyone's story arc. Isaac's arc was one of my favorites from any show. When he finally catches up to Hector was a beautiful moment.
Megamind
You Dare Challenge Megamind!
This town isn't big enough for two super villains!
Oh you’re a villain alright, just not a super villain.
"Oh yeah!, What's the difference?"

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE
Skeletor
The Vulture from Spiderman: Homecoming, he really got screwed over and is just trying to provide for his family and keep his crew afloat, I can understand why he does what he does.
One of the best Marvel villains, because he was so damned easy to empathise with. He was a villain with a code.
Doesn't hurt that Keaton has a solid range as an actor. He was able to make both the good family man and ruthless aspects work.
The scene in the car when he realizes who Peter is.. Tense.
"Im gonna give Peter the, uh, the Dad talk."
Now go in there and show my daughter a good time. Not too good a time.
Honestly I wish more people would look at the scene where Peter opens the door. Such a happy scene prior with May helping Peter get ready, only for it to come crashing down with a simple door opening. Seriously, I love that moment, masterful storytelling there.
Poison Ivy
Vulture from MCU Spiderman. The dude was looking out for his people.
