Shiny Source: Moana Villain: Tomotoa Nominator: Scare (ELIMINATED) Favorite lyric: Maui man, you could try, try, try / But you can't expect a demi-god / To beat a decapod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93lrosBEW-Q Villainy: 8 Characterization: 8 Melody: 6 Total: 22/30 I fuckin love Moana. Easily one of the best things Disney has done in a long time. Shiny is a really fun moment that briefly breaks from the main story to face off against a giant David Bowie crab, and it's overall just a good time. Jermaine Clement does a better Bowie impression than probably anyone else out there, and this is essentially Bowie for kids. Reading the lyrics tells a different story though, and one I don't think I appreciated enough until doing this ranking. Tomotoa initially comes off like the normal random Disney villain who just wants to eat, kinda like Kaa in Jungle Book. But that's not the case, is it? Tomotoa is evil. He goes over how he gets fed; his shiny shell brings in fish whole schools at a time, so that he never goes hungry. He literally eats during the song. So why's he going after Maui and Moana so hard? Because fish are dumb. He's not in this for the food, he's in this for the thrill of devouring intelligent life and mocking his prey along the way. He's not some random enemy after all, he has a long, antatgonistic history with Maui, but since we're following Moana's perspective, we only get the brief, frightening glimpse of it. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
