Your Least Favorite Animated Villains

[ViciousX]

I did the best. Now here's the Hall of Shame. And trust me, my list will have a bunch of sacred cows on it

1. Megatron (Generation One)

Okay, Starscream announces his intentions to overthrow you, so what do you do? Keep him around long enough so he can succeed? No, you do what your Animated counterpart did.

Idiot.

2. Cobra Commander (GI Joe)

You attempted to escape being captured by GI Joe by hiding under a blanket with a lampshade on your head and just walking through them... then you got foiled by a dog.

And you got beaten up by Kindergartners.

And... ugh...

Moron.

3. Skeletor (He-Man and the Masters of the Universe)

Skeletor: With these two helmets - two - very special helmets!

4. Ganon (The Legend of Zelda cartoon)

He had the habit of giving Link extra powers that made Link kick his ass better... Intangibility for instance... Or the time he turned Link into a frog, which gave Link the ability to jump really high and eat the bug monsters Ganon sent. No real drawbacks there. Or the time he kidnapped the airheaded king, and then didn't leave a ransom note...

5. Dishonest John (Beany and Cecil)

Isn't your name kind of... honest? Work on that one.

6. Every single Captain Planet villain ever

Look, I don't pretend that I never littered. But that was out of laziness, not fun. I mean, what are your motivations? Why do you want to destroy the Earth? You live there, you know. At least Cobra Commander just wants to rule it.

7. Mumm-Ra

Mumm-Ra eventually fell to the point where his grand schemes consisted of... trapping the Thundercats in a pit. Really, that was his entire plan. And he was weakened by his own reflection, though he lost that weakness in the second season. He was also the punk of the Ancient Spirits of Evil. Seriously, what did he want? Did he do anything?

8. John Castaway (Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles)

Let's be clear, I am not knocking his excellent portrayal in the comic books (love comic book Castaway). But the TGC version was such a stupid character with no motivations. An industrialist who hated the gargoyles for no real reason, who was stupid enough to fire anti-aircraft weapons in the middle of Manhattan, and who even admitted that he knew the gargoyles were heroic in the final episode... negating for no reason all his talk about them being monsters.

The worst part, they HAD a built in motivator, Greg Weisman flat out told them he was Jon Canmore under a new alias... the last Hunter. But, the crew of TGC ignored that completely and made him just a flat character with no background.

9. Shredder (1989 TMNT)

He hand picked Bebop and Rocksteady. 'Nuff said!

10. Kingpin (Spider-Man: TAS)

God... they just had to connect him to everything and everyone. Now, I like the Kingpin. But I hated how he was used here. The Sinister... er... Insidious Six worked for him. Doc Ock was his lackey. He was just behind everything! Did you know Kingpin was behind the Secret Wars? The Beyonder was just a fall guy. He's also the guy who shot Uncle Ben before he discovered pancake corndogs!

And when they had a chance to make him a three-dimensional character after his wife left him they... never mentioned it or her again. They really dropped the ball there.

Rexx De Forrest from Camp Candy.


I get it. Industry are pricks, conservation is good. Don't club me over the head with it.


For that matter, most of Captain Planet's villains are of the same vein.

Dr. Blight, I wouldn't kick out of bed, but the rest of them were lame-o.

Duke Nukem, at least, had some reason lash out at the world, since he was a radiactive freak. I think he once even tried to destroy Ozone layer just so he'd be more comfortable in his beach chair. Stupid plan, sure, but at least you can see the evil logic of it.

Mumm-Ra wanted the Eye of Thundara so he could be young again, didn't he?

Dr. Klaw from Inspector Gadget was pretty bad. I mean, his arch nemesis was *deliberately* written to be incompetant, and he still lost!

Klaw had to go against his niece, Penny, and that meddling dog too. If there's anything cartoons like Scoobie Doo have taught us, it's that a villain cannot beat blasted kids and their meddling dog.

Well, once you find out what he looks like, I think it's kinda explainable why he lost so often. He's not quite as sinister as the chair and voice make you believe.
