  • Scar on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#12) Scar

    • The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Lion King, The Lion King

    On the surface, Scar's plan as an evil Disney villain makes sense. He wants to be king, but he needs to get rid of his brother and nephew to ensure that he's undeniably next in line for the throne. That's all basic historical stuff. Sibling rivalries and inter-family violence in the struggle for power aren't new concepts. 

    To oust his brother from power, Scar takes a fairly logical approach. He amasses his own army, ensuring that he can establish dominance if certain lions question his ability to rule. He tricks his family into a dangerous situation, securing his brother's demise during a stampede. He then attempts to rid the world of his nephew, as well, wiping out any potential challengers to the throne. All the while, Scar maintains a facade of innocence. In this way, he carefully crafts a situation in which he's the only choice as a ruler, out of reach from naysayers and perfectly positioned to crush those who oppose him. 

    This is one reason why his plan fails: By not ensuring the elimination of his nephew Simba, his position could later be challenged. 

    But Scar's problems primarily develop once he's actually on the throne. By allowing his armies to destroy his kingdom, Scar proves to everyone why he was never meant to be a ruler in the first place. Instead of building loyalty among his subjects with his ability to rule, Scar acts as a disinterested tyrant toward his subjects and his followers. He erodes the devotion of his army, decreasing their desire to fight by his side. He's surrounded by an unreliable infantry that barely cares if he lives or perishes and angry subjects who are actively looking for a way to take away his throne. Furthermore, his subjects do not trust his judgement, as his lack of foresight has led them to the brink of starvation. Scar is practically begging for a coup, and that's exactly what he gets.

    Lesson learned: Not all lions are meant to be kings. Poor Scar had to learn that the hard way.

  • Jafar on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#4) Jafar

    • Disney's House of Mouse, Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, Aladdin, The Return of Jafar, Aladdin, Aladdin, Jr.

    Jafar's goal is nothing new in the realm of Disney villains' evil plans. Jafar wants power, pure and simple. Does he use his head and the application of logical thinking to attain it? After all, he made it quite far in his local government thanks to his smarts. But alas, he becomes overly obsessed with a lamp trapped in the magical Cave of Wonders. 

    Jafar's entire evil plan rests on obtaining the Genie and using his three wishes to establish himself as sultan to gain the ultimate power he's always craved. However, Jafar has the ability to hypnotize people, conveniently accompanied by direct access to the Sultan each and every day thanks to his position as grand vizier of the Sultan. In fact, he hypnotizes the Sultan when it suits his needs - so why doesn't he bewitch the ruler into passing over his power? Instead, Jafar wastes valuable time searching for a "diamond in the rough" in order to obtain the Genie's lamp. 

    Jafar continues to fall victim to his own poor plans by passing the duty of getting the lamp to another person. By this action, Jafar transfers control of his entire future to untrustworthy criminals and one particular "street rat." The idea of Aladdin using the lamp for his own purposes should have been a concern to Jafar. Put simply, Jafar opens up the door to his own demise.

    Aladdin would have never known about the lamp if it weren't for Jafar. And Jafar could have continued to hypnotize the Sultan for years with no one the wiser, obtaining power for himself. Furthermore, if he had kept his plan a secret, outside sources would have never been tempted to use the lamp for their own purposes.

    Of course, Jafar is likely caught up on the idea of a genie that grants his wishes, just as anyone would be. Unfortunately, his obsession and poor planning skills are the sources of his ultimate failure.

  • Hades on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#6) Hades

    • Hercules

    Like many Disney villains' evil plans, Hades's scheme revolves around seizing power from Zeus and ruling over all. Interestingly, he actually has a fairly foolproof plan to accomplish his goal. After the birth of Hercules, Hades meets with the Fates, who tell him that the planets will align in 18 years. At that time, Hades can release the Titans from their prison, allowing him to defeat Zeus and ascend from the Underworld to the throne. There's only one thing standing his is way: Hercules. Logically, Hades decides to end Hercules right then and there, eliminating any obstacles that would block his path to Mount Olympus. 

    All of that makes sense - Hades wants the throne, someone's standing in the way, and he chooses to get rid of them. What doesn't make sense, however, is Hades's choice to send Pain and Panic to carry out the task. Hades knows that this is his one chance to take out Zeus. He's well aware that he needs to take care of Hercules while he's still a baby, before he can truly fight back. Knowing all this, he still sends his two dopiest minions to secure his entire future. Pain and Panic are obviously far from the sharpest tools in the shed - so why would he trust them to effectively take out a god? 

    The real kicker is that Hades doesn't learn from his mistake. Pain and Panic fail to complete their task when Hercules is a baby. When Hades finds out, he still sends his incompetent minions out on important errands. He also sends the snarky femme fatale Meg, with the idea that she might be able to lead Hercules astray. But she, too, turns on Hades, as she falls for the son of Zeus.

    Hades is the god of the Underworld - why doesn't he just deal with Hercules himself? 

    Hades continually sends other people and creatures to do his dirty work, and then acts surprised when they fail. It may be that Hades knows he's incapable of beating Hercules himself, but he could have sent a more skillful team to complete the most important mission of his life. By sending his minions, Hades practically seals his own fate.

  • Mother Gothel on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#9) Mother Gothel

    • Tangled

    Mother Gothel is the villain of Disney's Tangled. As far as Disney villains' evil plans go, Gothel's is more successful than most. After finding a magical flower that grants her eternal youth, Gothel is desperate to maintain her young facade. After the ailing Queen consumes the flower in an effort to heal her illness, the recovered royal gives birth to a baby girl with magical hair. Gothel originally tries to take a lock of the princess' hair, only to learn that cutting the hair takes away its magical properties. In a moment of desperation, Gothel kidnaps the baby and whisks her away to a secluded tower, where she raises her for 18 years. 

    Gothel's plan is fairly foolproof. That is, if you disregard the fact that a malleable child eventually grows into an adult who isn't going to be content sitting in a tower day in and day out. Gothel's plan centers around desperation rather than actual scheming. She doesn't consider what her life will look like years down the line. She acts on the instinct of a single moment, and fails to plan for a lifelong commitment to another human being. She gets her eternal fountain of youth, but she also has to take care of a child - one she doesn't really want or care for at all. 

    As Rapunzel grows older, Gothel becomes increasingly lazy in her routine. She trusts Rapunzel to stay locked in the tower, despite Rapunzel's many claims that she's unhappy and wants to venture outside. Desperate as she is to maintain her youthful appearance, she's unwilling to submit herself to the same life as Rapunzel. Gothel ventures out of the tower often, many times leaving for days at a time. What captive wouldn't attempt to escape in that situation?

    While Gothel shows a certain amount of skill, particularly in manipulation, her selfishness is her ultimate downfall. She puts too much trust in her daughter/prisoner, creating the perfect situation for Rapunzel to escape and experience the world. Gothel's need for youth overrides her logic, leading to her eventual demise.

  • Yzma on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#10) Yzma

    • Kronk's New Groove, The Emperor's New Groove

    Surprise, surprise - yet another villain who wants power. In The Emperor's New Groove, Yzma plots to get rid of Emperor Kuzco by poisoning him at dinner. Once the former ruler is out of the way, Yzma herself wants to ascend to the throne. 

    Like many a Disney villain before her, her bumbling minion Kronk accidentally pours extract of a llama instead of poison, giving the Emperor four legs and a lovely coat rather than an untimely demise.  

    But even when Kronk isn't there to make a mistake, Yzma falls victim to her own blunders, proving she isn't the mastermind she thinks she is. But the end of the feature, Yzma has accidentally transformed herself into a helpless kitten, unable to defeat her foes or move forward with her plan.

    But even if she had succeeded, could Yzma have really just taken over as ruler? The laws of succession in this particular kingdom are unclear, but the idea of Yzma declaring herself emperor without an army or any support from the people seems like an unrealistic goal. People aren’t very fond of Kuzco, but no one likes Yzma much either. Although she briefly establishes herself as a ruler while Kuzco is gone, her only real support comes from Kronk. Eventually, someone would have to challenge her leadership, right? The idea of an entire kingdom switching hands with zero backlash seems deeply improbable.

  • Cruella de Vil on Random Disney Villains Based on Their Stupid Plans

    (#2) Cruella de Vil

    • Disney's House of Mouse, 102 Dalmatians, 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, One Hundred and One Dalmatians, 101 Dalmatians, The 101 Dalmatians Musical

    When it comes to Disney villains' evil plans, Cruella de Vil's senseless scheme stands apart from the rest. To put it simply, she wants to kidnap puppies and use their fur to create a dog-skin jacket. It's really quite dark. But beyond her irrational need for violence, the entirety of Cruella's plan is a little absurd. 

    First of all, why does Cruella need 99 puppies to make her jacket? How large is this jacket going to be? Ninety-nine puppies means a lot of fur. In fact, it would likely be a surplus of fur, creating a heavy, overly bulky jacket that's not fashionable, or even cute in the slightest. 

    Second, why can't Cruella simply purchase a faux-fur jacket? Creating a custom jacket out of puppy skin requires a deeply gruesome and barbaric process. Not to mention, it's also much more work to design and produce your own jacket, rather than purchasing a pre-made jacket from the store. By heading out for a day of shopping, Cruella easily avoids the legal and ethical problems that accompany snatching puppies for a jacket. A little retail therapy might do this villain some good. 

    But finally, Cruella falls victim to her own obsessions and terrible choice in henchmen, like so many Disney villains. Her single-mindedness in her task and the inablity to carry out her own plans eventually leads to the ultimate failure of her master plan. 

    All in all, Cruella's plan is illogical, impractical, and needlessly brutal.
