When the old dude took over Mewtwos body at the end, whyd he leave his Ditto as the only thing standing between Tim and his extremely vulnerable human body? Why didnt he just take 2 seconds and telekinetically fling Tim into the next time zone? Was it arrogance? Laziness? Stupidity? A plot device?

He probably didn't think he could stop him.

Maybe he had some gratitude for Tim leading Mewtwo to him and wanted to capture him, not kill him, and didn't expect him to wake up so quick and once he started fighting back he thought Tim wasn't worth the effort to capture.
Or maybe he wanted Ditto to get experience points lol

I feel like theres a trope for bad guys to be monumentally stupid for plot reasons

Effective villains make for a bummer ending.

Have there actually been any movies where the villains win?

Not including bummer endings to set up the next film in the series?

Now that I think about it, didn't he get distracted by Pikachu?

What I really wanna know is why the Ditto fucked around with Tim so much. Was it that fucking intelligent that it understood the concept of sadism? Because that would be one terrifying af world to live in if Pokemon ever took over as the dominant species or something.

I feel like naming these films would be spoiling them outright.

That could be evaded by naming films where the ending is known ahead of time, such as The Founder.
