Kuzco changed!
Also I'd like to emphasize how unpleasant whathisface's name's death was in Tarzan. Where he fell and got hanged on the vines. That still creeps me out. |

Also, didn't Captain Gantu turn good in the final Lilo & Stitch film?
I know both Iago and Gantu turned good in DTV sequels, but I wouldn't be surprised if Pixar found some sort of way to "redeem" Randall as a wink to his cult following. (If he somehow survived the first one... I confess it's been a long time since I've seen Monsters Inc., so I guess I misunderstood the severity of it...) Then again, I'm still kinda shocked at the character arc taken for Buddy Pine/Syndrome. Going from well-meaning fan who gets rejected by his hero, to a psychotic villain who receives a very grisly death... that's pretty dark. Last edited by Voxxyn; 01-28-2007 at 05:12 AM. |

I agree on many of the grisly villain deaths in Disney movie history. I know it's just for entertainment value (though I fail to find anything entertaining about death, to be honest), but I find it kind of macabre to dispose of every villain by killing them off in the most violent, bloodiest way. It's become such a trend now that people get surprised when a bad guy isn't killed off, whether they've been particularly nasty or not. If they're bad, they're supposed to die because that's just the way it's been for as long as television and entertainment have been around, right? We didn't need Disney to introduce us to the very fine line that defines "good" and "bad". Unfortunately, having been spoon-fed this ideal for most of our lives is what keeps some individuals thinking that redemption is a long ways from anyone who's ever crossed that fine line. It's strictly black and white with no in- between, and I hate it. Last edited by DoubleLatte; 01-28-2007 at 05:16 PM. |

But back to Kuzco and Iago, both were more pains in the asses then evil. Iago was certainly nasty at times but he's more of the kind of guy to say what he wants to save his own feathers. Kuzco was a spoiled brat and I never considered anything he did worthy of a villain title. Randall to me showed some pretty cruel nature, mostly stemming with his whole scream device, how he went about doing it and when he said "I'll take good care of the kid" towards the end. But that's just me. Quote:
101 Dalmations The Rescuers Toy Story Toy Story 2 Robin Hood The Jungle Book Cinderella None of the villains died, and YES they can turn good. It all depends on whether the character has the potential to become good or the willing to make changes in their lives. Buffy the vampire slayer, Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon, Digimon, Jackie Chan adventures and Beast Wars have all shown bad guys turning good. Anime uses this evil going good thing CONSTANTLY, especially in Sailor Moon, it happens A LOT more then you think. It all depends on how far the character can go. But to be honest, some villains CAN'T go good and most of them don't want to, it's a choice they make and have to live with. Some things can't be helped, some people too, and villains like Buddy/Syndrome who let personal matters or issues control and corrupt their lives are doomed to pay for their mistakes in the end....even if the end is bloody or clean, either way, karma comes back at ya.

I know that Capt. Gantu was in much the same situation that Randall was-a pawn of someone with far more power and influence than himself(even if, in the case of the former, that individual happened to be a pint-sized RODENT, NOT that this might be symbolic of Disney's hold over its creative persons or anything...), while at the same time desparately trying to improve his situation in life. It happens-I've Been There, Done That. Good people CAN be misled or forced into doing bad things. Real Life has shown me, personally, that there is indeed a fine line between good and bad, and everyone crosses it at some point, some more than others. Ironically, in my own experience, which I think I can safely say does excede that of anyone else hear by virtue of age, it's the people who most loudly cry out "EVIL!!" and point fingers and cast those proverbial stones at those they believe are deserving of punishment who are themselves the most likely to have the most skeletons in THEIR closets, with regards to having done some not-so-nice things. Disney, however, did not make Monsters, Inc., and Disney's penchant for having that jaded "Good Guy vs. Bad Guy" formula, with their "Bad Guys" usually meeting some horrible demise, is reason alone for Pixar to buck that trend and actually show that there are indeed two sides to every coin. What Sulley and Mike did was committ premeditated murder, if Randall did indeed die-and anyone who argues that this is not the case better have a good lawyer on retainer when you decide to off someone who's hurt you in the past. Revenge is the number one motive for murder, after all. Yet, we are supposed to believe that two guys who plot the death of a co-worker out of revenge, or vigilantism, are great and wonderful individuals who can do no wrong? pitbulllady |

Uhhhh I just want to say this because this sticks out WAY too largely for me to ignore, apologize for off topicness again but....
Randall tried to kill Sulley when he was hanging from the doors, AND by suffocating him...so their "murder" of Randall was hardly without reason. And I also doubt Mike and Sulley knew where that door went to for Randall. Unless they looked into it a head of time (which I don't buy because the family probably would have seen them considering trailers are quite small spaces), I think they just dumped Randall into the nearest door they could find. Sorry again for the off topicness.
