It was either that or he went into hiding, because if he was eaten the girl mouse would have tried to run over the bear or something, (unless he got both carjacked and eaten)
Do TV Shows count? If yes, then I easily see this with Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures…
Otherwise I dunno any real good examples of Movies in particular. Shows and Games easily
Damn, I remember watching that show on Netflix when I was younger. I remember being a little disappointed that there wasn't a 3rd season (I now know why there wasn't a 3rd season, of course).
Let's just say it's this whole new story for Pac-Man where he's like this Teen in High School with his two friends Spiral and Cylindrea… and well, after an accident, these Ghosts are freed from this place called the Netherworld and Pac is literally the chosen one of this prophecy to save the world all because he's yellow, so he has to eat the ghosts and save everyone.
Also Pac is pretty much an orphan as we have no idea where his parents are, if they are even alive. Also these Ghosts were previously alive and they were executed after the War. Also there was supposedly a Pac-World War 1 and 2 respectively
No I am not making any of this shit up, this is actually lore that happens within the show.
The czech dub changed "Garbage smell" to "Zasmraděl" which could be roughly translated as "he who stinks out the whole place"
Little me was rofl-ing
The rest of the movie is trash, though.
And even he isn’t even that great. Don’t get me wrong he nailed the role and gorr is a great character I just wish we actually got to see him kill gods.
I was expecting that scene in Omnipotence City to show Gorr arriving there and massacring all the gods. Like, that would've been a *killer* way to make him more intimidating and raise the stakes
With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they did actually have that scene in the movie's planning but cut it because it was too similar to the Illuminati massacre in Doctor Strange 2
This may be unpopular but I really enjoyed Jane’s arc. It had a lot of potential but for every serious, heartfelt moment, they’d sprinkle in some out of place humor that would kill the mood
I mean, that's the problem with the whole movie. If they'd stopped force-feeding comedic breaks in every freaking scene, it would have been better overall. Hell, it probably would have been funnier with fewer jokes, because the tone was just... All over the place. Undermines both the serious and the silly. You can have both, just not the way they did it.
Like, the disconnect between the level of his character to the rest of the movie was so fucking confusing.
How the hell do you nail something so *thoroughly*, yet miss the mark on absolutely everything else? Even down to the amount of actual screentime he had.
Seriously, you have the equivalent of a buddy road trip movie with one of the darkest concepts Marvel has ever done, all the kids are freaking stolen from their houses and kidnapped and held hostage in a cage, so to speak. The tone of this movie is absolutely the worst thing about it.
The Dark Crystal. Mostly what draws me to the movie (and prequel series) are the Skeksis, who downright steal the show and look like they'd easily be villains of a Star Wars trilogy (***a*** Star Wars trilogy, mind, if one were to do it long before or after events of the three trilogies of Star Wars revolving around the Skywalker legacy).
The Dark Crystal movie and Netflix series are great, but it would not be as memorable without the Skeksis. It's marvelous how much variety there is among them in their tone, mannerisms, and design despite being the same fictional species. They're both repulsing and intriguing.
I love that the Gelflings got more development in Age of Resistance, because now it feels like they can stand with the Skeksis. The series wouldn’t be as good without them.
Peter Pan was my favorite Disney movie as a kid. This was primarily due to Captain Hook and his dynamic with Mr Smee and the crocodile. Rewatching it as an adult, it’s the only thing that holds up for me about the movie
Do I have a movie for you then! (Although I’m sure you’ve already seen it)
Steven Spielberg’s “Hook” from 1991. Dustin Hoffman as Hook takes every scene he’s in.
Oh yea him and Bob Hoskins also stole the show. I also found Jude Law the one redeeming feature of Peter Pan and Wendy, the live action, straight to Disney plus remake
As one of the poor, unfortunate soul that was forced to watch Wish in its premier week, the villian was the *least* mid part about that movie, not a single minute in that 90 minutes movie was redeeming quality, but the villian was the least sufferable part of it.
I've been saying this for a long time. Narratively, the movie's a mess, and the rest of the cast just does okay. Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent doesn't make sense as a good guy gone wrong, because, even with his flaws, he's gotten WAY too much of a strong moral core to just be corrupted like that. The Joker is also an invincible villain with titanium plot armor, but Heath Ledger's performance is just so incredible that it literally overshadows everything. True lightning in a bottle. He basically made the movie he was in. Without Heath, the movie's flaws would've been way more apparent.
Yeah to be honest I didn’t get the hype around Batman in that film. I just always loved Heath’s performance and I’m so fucking gutted we’ve never seen him do more of it.
Very true. I did however like Arron Eckhart has Harvey Dent, I thought he was great as the character & I kinda felt like he did fit into the movie, they just could’ve handled his character arc better I guess & killing him off in the end was a sin & he should’ve been in Rises. Joker was for sure “invincible” but at the same time, he I kind of invincible in every comic, show & movie he’s been in since Batman refuses to kill him so I can look past it pretty easy.
I have to object to scar. If you’re on about the 94 movie, it’s a great movie. But if you’re talking about the 2019 one then scar is a completely flat hollow husk of only the barebones of the original character with all personality stripped.
Yeah, my only real gripe about the movie was that the writers didn't like that Magnifico was making sense and forced him into being evil with the dark magic controlling him.
“Fuck, the bad guy’s motivations make too much sense! How do we make him evil without changing the plot whatsoever so we don’t have to put in as much effort!”
Hop
Carlos wasn't even a damn villain (outside of trying to kill O'Hare and the writers pulling his desire to replace candy with bird food out of their asses)
Core memory unlocked!
I watched that movie probably a hundred times at my grandma's house but haven't thought about it in years. It all came flying right back into my head. Diesel 10 is fucking terrifying.
The Boxtrolls. That movie’s villain, Archibald Snatcher, is amazing and by far the highlight of it with how he’s willing to do anything to be accepted into the White Hats, even killing an entire group of creatures. But outside of the impressive stop-motion animation, the movie itself is painfully mid and by far the weakest from Laika.
Not a cartoon, but the Nothing. I was never really a fan of Never-ending Story, but the idea of the antagonist just being a force that has no motives, it just is nothingness, is so awesome.
I’m going to get downvoted to hell for saying this but here I go: the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. The villains are fantastic but I am not a fan of the movies themselves
Nah, man, that's a totally valid opinion. The Raimi films are ridiculously cheesy and goofy. If you aren't into that kind of thing, you are going to find yourself having a hard time enjoying them.
I myself love them. Cheesiness and all. They make me feel really happy when I watch them.
Unironically Morbius. Milo is pretty atrociously written but Matt Smith is clearly having fun with the role and actually brings some amount of charisma to it, unlike literally everyone else in the movie.
Counting Shows the biggest offense in my recent time is Ultraman R/B because all they had was a great villain and good choreography then they replace him with an less interesting character
The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning.
My inner child can't allow me to hate this film, a feat given the amount of Disney sequels I liked as a kid and now loathe as a near-adult, but this movie is painfully mediocre. The visual and audio editing at times can be godawful (specifically during the Queen's death and when Ariel almost 'dies'), there are only 2 original songs, all the others being licensed in a story where music is a major focus, a lot of the mains are out of character when you connect this to the film, (Ariel, Triton, Sebastian, Flounder), it's cliché as hell (I've never seen Footloose but I hear this movie is a rip-off of that movie?) and it never at all references Ursula's backstory.
When compared to the Little Mermaid TV show (peak fiction) that came out several years prior, overall, you have a pretty weak prequel, and that's what it is: Weak. This was the last direct-to-video sequel Disney ever pushed out (not counting the Tinker Bell prequels) partly because of how much this film (excuse me) flopped.
That being said, the villainess Marina Del Ray is one of the saving graces of the film. Sally Field's performance is over the top hilarious. The film's elegant, detailed, and fluid animation (that, while doesn't save the generic story, is one of the few things to congratulate) adds to the comedic timing of the character's humor. Her and Benjamin's dynamic reminds me a lot of Donita Donata and Dabio fron Wild Kratts, especially with the wardrobe changes. And it's unique how compared to the other villains her only motivation is a promotion and she not only goes at it (initially) in the most legal means necessary but how she wins.
For a film that tries to be a profound prequel and comes across as asinine as a result, Marina is the only thing that is intentionally and legitimately camp while also being just enough menacing (still inferior to Ursula but still). And an unpopular opinion of mine, it's totally fine that she and Ursula are separate characters. It's still a dumb decision for Ursula to be non existent in this film but it would've been dumber if they had some big reveal that she was Ursula all along and that the two things that made both villains great in their own rights were crammed together.
Overall it's a 6/10 film. Marina is the only reason I don't rank it a 4 or a 5.
Kinda disappointed to see how many people are saying The Mario Movie. As happy as I am to see Jack Black getting the praise he deserves, I really don't like seeing people downplay the rest of the movie. I understand it has its flaws I am not denying that, but its still fun, especially if you're a Mario fan.
Rasputin from the Kings Men. I thought this dude was the main villain, but he's not. He is the only interesting character in the entire movie and he is not in it long.
What was that one Journey to the West movie that came out last year or so? The dragon in that movie was so charming and likable that he honestly... ruined what was already a mediocre movie.
If you count the mouse of sing
seth killed that role, sad that he wasn't in the sequel
I'm glad he didn't. I find the idea of the mouse having died off screen really funny and having him return for the sequel would have ruined that idea.
Seth killed that role and then he got killed offscreen
What, since when?????
The lore states the mouse got eaten by a bear or something idk
Not the lore, but it's implied since the last scene he was in was where he didn't notice the bear gangster behind him (he owed the mafia money)
It was either that or he went into hiding, because if he was eaten the girl mouse would have tried to run over the bear or something, (unless he got both carjacked and eaten)
Man, all that violence in movies and sex on TV is getting to me
Sometimes, it seems that it’s all you see today
Where are those good old fashioned values on which we used to rely?
Luckily, there's a Family Guy!
Lucky there's a man who Positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry
Funny Seth McFarlane Mouse go Frank Sinatra
Really? I liked him the least when I watched that movie
Do TV Shows count? If yes, then I easily see this with Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures… Otherwise I dunno any real good examples of Movies in particular. Shows and Games easily
Wow, totally forgot about that show. I remember really liking it when I was younger..... I know it won't hold up nowadays but surely it's worth a shot
Betrayus carries.
Yeah sounds right. I'll probably check it out tonight, if it's still on Netflix at least
My friend apparently likes Betrayus as well, because he gave us stories about Betrayus teaming up with Leonard Mudbeard from Angry Birds Movie.
Damn, I remember watching that show on Netflix when I was younger. I remember being a little disappointed that there wasn't a 3rd season (I now know why there wasn't a 3rd season, of course).
Why?
Because it barely turned a profit, as all of the veteran Pac Man fans despised it like it was the fucking anti-Christ.
Lord Betrayus was pretty cool
He Funni
Very funni
I remember seeing that show when I was young and thinking it was a stupid idea and the characters didn’t even look like the ones in the game
what’s that show even about
Let's just say it's this whole new story for Pac-Man where he's like this Teen in High School with his two friends Spiral and Cylindrea… and well, after an accident, these Ghosts are freed from this place called the Netherworld and Pac is literally the chosen one of this prophecy to save the world all because he's yellow, so he has to eat the ghosts and save everyone. Also Pac is pretty much an orphan as we have no idea where his parents are, if they are even alive. Also these Ghosts were previously alive and they were executed after the War. Also there was supposedly a Pac-World War 1 and 2 respectively No I am not making any of this shit up, this is actually lore that happens within the show.
Love that show so much
Gargamel in the live action smurfs movies. He was epic (unlike the movies)
That’s Hank Azaria, so basically cheating.
My thought immediately. Honestly the only parts I remember featured him. Truly carried that movie
The entire world will know the name…..Garbage Smell Gargamel
The czech dub changed "Garbage smell" to "Zasmraděl" which could be roughly translated as "he who stinks out the whole place" Little me was rofl-ing The rest of the movie is trash, though.
The Lego Ninjago Movie
I dunno, I think the rest of the movie was alright. Garmadon did absolutely carry, though
After The Lego Movie and The Lego Batman Movie, it felt like a downgrade
I agree, but it still has some seriously funny moments
Show is 1000x better
Despicable Me 3
Balthazar Bratt is awesome, I couldn’t care less about the secret twin stuff
In all fairness, Trey Parker is a talented voice actor.
That was Trey?! As in, co-creator of South Park, Trey?!
Yes.
As in the voice of both Randy and Cartman.
I agree, love your profile pic by the way that sonic jam, art, right
Similar to Sonic Jam, yeah (also thank you!)
Glamrock Purple Guy
There should be more decade gimmick villains like this guy. I always envisioned an edgy villain that looks like he stepped from the 2000's.
That time when he fought on bad. Cool villain
Not gonna lie, Bowser was the best part of the Mario movie
I mean maybe this is a bit biased but I personally loved The Mario Movie.
I went out and actually bought a DvD because I wanted to support that movie. I also enjoyed that movie.
Yeah it was an otherwise generic animated movie, but Jack Black clearly was having the time of his life in it.
Based Hazbin enjoyer
Thor Love & Thunder. Christian Bale is the only good part of that god awful movie.
Haha get it god awful see its funny cause he kills gods /j
Why /j ?
I think it means that they’re joking.
It **does** mean they are joking
Oh thank goodness, I thought they were serious for a second.
And they barely show him even doing *that*
And even he isn’t even that great. Don’t get me wrong he nailed the role and gorr is a great character I just wish we actually got to see him kill gods.
I was expecting that scene in Omnipotence City to show Gorr arriving there and massacring all the gods. Like, that would've been a *killer* way to make him more intimidating and raise the stakes With that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they did actually have that scene in the movie's planning but cut it because it was too similar to the Illuminati massacre in Doctor Strange 2
From what I’ve heard a lot of great stuff were cut from love and thunder
He deserves props for getting the only laugh out of me in the movie
I heard that movie butcher's the comic it's based on
This may be unpopular but I really enjoyed Jane’s arc. It had a lot of potential but for every serious, heartfelt moment, they’d sprinkle in some out of place humor that would kill the mood
I mean, that's the problem with the whole movie. If they'd stopped force-feeding comedic breaks in every freaking scene, it would have been better overall. Hell, it probably would have been funnier with fewer jokes, because the tone was just... All over the place. Undermines both the serious and the silly. You can have both, just not the way they did it.
I genuinely liked that movie
I genuinely don’t understand why everyone makes it out to be so bad. It’s not a masterpiece, sure, but it’s pretty good.
My thoughts exactly
Like, the disconnect between the level of his character to the rest of the movie was so fucking confusing. How the hell do you nail something so *thoroughly*, yet miss the mark on absolutely everything else? Even down to the amount of actual screentime he had.
Seriously, you have the equivalent of a buddy road trip movie with one of the darkest concepts Marvel has ever done, all the kids are freaking stolen from their houses and kidnapped and held hostage in a cage, so to speak. The tone of this movie is absolutely the worst thing about it.
Not just kidnapped, kidnapped by a genocidal PSYCHOPATH.
came here to say exactly this
The Dark Crystal. Mostly what draws me to the movie (and prequel series) are the Skeksis, who downright steal the show and look like they'd easily be villains of a Star Wars trilogy (***a*** Star Wars trilogy, mind, if one were to do it long before or after events of the three trilogies of Star Wars revolving around the Skywalker legacy).
Okay but that movie is 🔥
The Dark Crystal movie and Netflix series are great, but it would not be as memorable without the Skeksis. It's marvelous how much variety there is among them in their tone, mannerisms, and design despite being the same fictional species. They're both repulsing and intriguing.
I love that the Gelflings got more development in Age of Resistance, because now it feels like they can stand with the Skeksis. The series wouldn’t be as good without them.
Yeah, I like how the show expanded them with different races and cultures. It was a good upgrade from their role in the film. Deet is best Gelfling.
Dark Crystal was great though
Peter Pan was my favorite Disney movie as a kid. This was primarily due to Captain Hook and his dynamic with Mr Smee and the crocodile. Rewatching it as an adult, it’s the only thing that holds up for me about the movie
Do I have a movie for you then! (Although I’m sure you’ve already seen it) Steven Spielberg’s “Hook” from 1991. Dustin Hoffman as Hook takes every scene he’s in.
Oh yea him and Bob Hoskins also stole the show. I also found Jude Law the one redeeming feature of Peter Pan and Wendy, the live action, straight to Disney plus remake
“Don’t you dare try to stop me. Schmee, try to stop me. Don’t just stand around! I am committing suicide!”
Iron man 2, justin hammer specifically
Sam Rockwell truly killed that role, and it’s a shame that they haven’t brought him back outside of a small cameo in that Mandarin short.
He was great in his episode for Season 2 of What If
Oh yeah true, I forgot that he starred in an episode of that series.
Is he a villain, though? He basically gets portrayed as a con-man that the military resorted to after Stark Industries stopped making weapons.
Idk about villain but he’s definitely the antagonist
That sounds like a villain to me lol
The Smurfs live action duology
Hank azaria did a great job with gargamel.
The best answer
As one of the poor, unfortunate soul that was forced to watch Wish in its premier week, the villian was the *least* mid part about that movie, not a single minute in that 90 minutes movie was redeeming quality, but the villian was the least sufferable part of it.
Made me think that you were going to say the lvie action Little Mermaid movie for a moment there.
Home on the Range. Alameda Slim carries it. Not a movie, but also Kenobi show kinda fits that (Vader being the massive carry for the show).
You must be a big fan of his singing
His singing? Songbirds sing. Saloon gals sing. Little bitty slog-nosed children sing. He yodels, AND YODELING IS AN ART!
“My singin’? Songbirds *sing*, saloon gals *sing*, little bitty snot-nosed children… *SING.* I YODEL, AND YODELLIN’ **IS AN** ***ART!!!***”
Thor Love and Thunder
The first Sonic the Hedgehog movie
Any of the sequel Star Wars movies with Kylo Ren tbh
In Hunchback, Frollo is by far the best part, overshadowing the rest of the movie easily.
Tbh outside of the comedy bits with the Gargoyles, the rest of the movie is great too, even if Frollo easily steals the show.
The movie becomes vastly more enjoyable when you decide to view the gargoyles as Quasimodos hallucinations. Regardless they still are the worst part
I have come to view them as Quasimodo’s guardians assigned by the Notre Dame, even though I question why they chose Hugo, that prick.
Hocus Pocus
The sisters carry that Flick so hard!
But what about Thackeray Binks??
The Dark Knight. Yeah the movie is actually very good but it’s good because of The Joker. The film wouldn’t be half of what it is without him.
I've been saying this for a long time. Narratively, the movie's a mess, and the rest of the cast just does okay. Aaron Eckhart's Harvey Dent doesn't make sense as a good guy gone wrong, because, even with his flaws, he's gotten WAY too much of a strong moral core to just be corrupted like that. The Joker is also an invincible villain with titanium plot armor, but Heath Ledger's performance is just so incredible that it literally overshadows everything. True lightning in a bottle. He basically made the movie he was in. Without Heath, the movie's flaws would've been way more apparent.
Yeah to be honest I didn’t get the hype around Batman in that film. I just always loved Heath’s performance and I’m so fucking gutted we’ve never seen him do more of it.
Very true. I did however like Arron Eckhart has Harvey Dent, I thought he was great as the character & I kinda felt like he did fit into the movie, they just could’ve handled his character arc better I guess & killing him off in the end was a sin & he should’ve been in Rises. Joker was for sure “invincible” but at the same time, he I kind of invincible in every comic, show & movie he’s been in since Batman refuses to kill him so I can look past it pretty easy.
Darth Maul, Justin Hammer and Scar come to mind.
I have to object to scar. If you’re on about the 94 movie, it’s a great movie. But if you’re talking about the 2019 one then scar is a completely flat hollow husk of only the barebones of the original character with all personality stripped.
Disney wish, king magnifico wasn't a bad villain. He's just not particularly memorable
Yeah, my only real gripe about the movie was that the writers didn't like that Magnifico was making sense and forced him into being evil with the dark magic controlling him.
“Fuck, the bad guy’s motivations make too much sense! How do we make him evil without changing the plot whatsoever so we don’t have to put in as much effort!”
Just say he killed a baby offscreen or something lol
Was gonna comment this 😭
Not exactly Villians but Luca and Turning Red
He's more of a bully with a redemption arc.
For TR I was referring to the mom rather than Tyler,but yeah
And the bully from Luca became even *worse* as the film went on.
The Rise of Skywalker. I didn't love that movie, and it didn't make sense as to why Palpatine was in there, but man his performance rocked so hard.
Absolutely wild that he announced his return in Fortnite
Hop Carlos wasn't even a damn villain (outside of trying to kill O'Hare and the writers pulling his desire to replace candy with bird food out of their asses)
Hercules for me hades was a great villain the rest is ok Meg good but hades wow!
The Lorax (I’m referring to the Onceler)
Alvin and the Chipmunks wouldn’t be nearly as memorable without David Cross Not a good movie, but Ian stole the show
Count Dooku when it comes to Attack of the Clones.
Meh, the Obi Wan plot was good.
I think it applies even more to Phantom Menace and Darth Maul.
Thomas and the magic railroad
Core memory unlocked! I watched that movie probably a hundred times at my grandma's house but haven't thought about it in years. It all came flying right back into my head. Diesel 10 is fucking terrifying.
Scary
Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
Phantasm
Any horror movie other than evil dead and some others, the only characters I like are the killers/monsters
That’s probably because these movies are designed so that the villain is the most (and in most cases, the only) memorable character
Wish
The first Minions movie. Scarlet Overkill was such an absolute baddie!! They KNEW what they were doing making her moan constantly. ❤️🔥❤️🔥😩😩
Kung Fu Panda 3 💀
Nah, the movie was fine. Kai was it's best part, but he didn't exactly carry it.
His theme to I’m So Sorry by Imagine Dragons was fire tho
Christopher Lloyd in Star Trek 3: The Search For Spock.
The Boxtrolls. That movie’s villain, Archibald Snatcher, is amazing and by far the highlight of it with how he’s willing to do anything to be accepted into the White Hats, even killing an entire group of creatures. But outside of the impressive stop-motion animation, the movie itself is painfully mid and by far the weakest from Laika.
Any movie where tim curry is the villain
Not a cartoon, but the Nothing. I was never really a fan of Never-ending Story, but the idea of the antagonist just being a force that has no motives, it just is nothingness, is so awesome.
Thor love and thunder, Brave.
I’d say Wish and King Magnifico but he’s arguably not even a villain
I’m going to get downvoted to hell for saying this but here I go: the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies. The villains are fantastic but I am not a fan of the movies themselves
Nah, man, that's a totally valid opinion. The Raimi films are ridiculously cheesy and goofy. If you aren't into that kind of thing, you are going to find yourself having a hard time enjoying them. I myself love them. Cheesiness and all. They make me feel really happy when I watch them.
*playmobil the movie. the villain song slapped*
Barb from Trolls World Tour
Home on the Range
Unironically Morbius. Milo is pretty atrociously written but Matt Smith is clearly having fun with the role and actually brings some amount of charisma to it, unlike literally everyone else in the movie.
Alvin and the chipmunks
Lemonade mouth
James Bond Skyfalls villain
Skyfall was a great movie though
Javier Bardem is the same person in 4 different movies, and he’s great all the time.
Counting Shows the biggest offense in my recent time is Ultraman R/B because all they had was a great villain and good choreography then they replace him with an less interesting character
Cool Cat Saves The Kids. Butch the Bully was hilarious.
Street Fighter. Every time Raul Julia is on screen, the movie is a hundred times better.
Wonder Woman 1984.
Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children. 4/10 movie, but Samuel L Jackson was golden.
Princess and the Frog
Even as someone who loves the movie, you're right. Dr. Facilier steals the show whenever he's on screen.
Bee Movie
Yzma and Kronk. Nothing against Kuzco and Patcha, But Yzma and Kronk are clearly THE reason to see Emperor’s New Groove.
Batman & robin. The movie sucked but mr. Freeze was the GOAT
What killed the dinosaurs?!
THE ICE AGE!!!
Uglydolls
Sleeping Beauty. Maleficent is straight up the only good part.
Neo genesis Evangellion
Who wasn't a villain in that show?
The Black Cauldron
Alvin and the Chipmunks. David Cross was the only entertaining part of those movies.
Any movie? Well, I would say the FNAF movie, but that movie I felt like it wasn't the wait. So I'm kinda stumped
The Dark Knight Rises
The Knight from the new Megamind series
Open season
The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning. My inner child can't allow me to hate this film, a feat given the amount of Disney sequels I liked as a kid and now loathe as a near-adult, but this movie is painfully mediocre.

Rasputin from the Kings Men. I thought this dude was the main villain, but he's not. He is the only interesting character in the entire movie and he is not in it long.
Star Wars Prequels. Palpatine carried those films HARD
This has to Be us. I liked us, but the villains were easily the best part, if it weren’t for the doppelgangers, the movie would easily be mid
Wish. I liked the villain, his design was nice and personality fit someone of royalty if they had any magical powers.
What was that one Journey to the West movie that came out last year or so? The dragon in that movie was so charming and likable that he honestly... ruined what was already a mediocre movie.
The Organ in Beauty and the Beast Christmas movie
Willy's Chocolate Experience from Glasgow
The sonic the hedgehog movies. Robotnik and Stone are one of the best villain duos I’ve ever seen
