Because Disney/Pixar are gradually shifting away from fantasy, for fun stories, towards real, sometimes for fun stories. I haven't watched a lot of the recent Disney/Pixar films, but I think Frozen was their last film with a semi-pointlessly evil villian (Duke of Weaselton or w/e). Not to say that there's anything wrong or inferior with current Disney/Pixar films, but it would be nice to see a new villian who is just plain bad, and not emotionally damaged in some way. --- Hammer main - Drow rogue - Gaige, Krieg - Nyx, Gauss, Volt - Nightfolk bandit - Draconian Warrior You ruined my life BIIITCOINNNNNSS ...

Personally, I would say characters like Yzema, Madame Medusa, and, Zira felt a lot more fun than any recent Disney/Pixar characters, as shallow as a lot of them were. Frollo was a little too evil though. --- Hammer main - Drow rogue - Gaige, Krieg - Nyx, Gauss, Volt - Nightfolk bandit - Draconian Warrior You ruined my life BIIITCOINNNNNSS ... Copied to Clipboard!

I find that Disney (for the former and latter) and Pixar (esp for the latter) have either gone for villains that are surprise/not-expected until late in the movie or straight-up don't have a villain at all for the last few years. --- NNID: dmaster342 Switch FC: SW-7536-6913-0987 3DS FC: 3411-5415-9967 ...

I kinda like their shift to more "complex" stories, where the plots might be about characters worrying about not having a place in their families, not being able to properly uphold traditions, or question whether they even want to, and so on. it makes the situations, no matter how fantastical they might be, feel more relatable. my favorite Disney movie (A Goofy Movie) didn't even have an antagonist, iirc, just two characters who had competing desires. --- https://imgur.com/mApEnf3 ...

Notice that all the villains you posted are from a specific era of Disney films? That's because the writers and directors at the time were inspired by those 1-dimensional villains from media from their childhood and past. The newer Disney films also had a era of "surprise villains" and now most of the newer films are about generational trauma, something that is very prevalent among Millennials, especially among 2nd-3rd generation immigrants.

The villains are my favorite aspect of classic Disney (and most media really), so that's probably a big reason I don't enjoy them as much as the older movies. --- Let's-a go! Okey dokey! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I love the classic villains, but I also like the modern, relatable stories. Encanto had a really good message (you arent defined by your talents or job), or Onward (sometimes you dont need closure, and should focus on what is in front of you) --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 ...

Honestly, Hans felt like a totally different character from the first and second third of the film to the "reveal".Well, yeah, obviously. that's intentional on his part. that's the whole point of him being deceptive. he acts nice until the truth comes out My brother's girlfriend actually predicted his motives after Hans told Anna he's the youngest of like 10 brothers. ...

I get that it was the message of the movie, Anna being too trusting and Elsa not being trusting enough, but it felt like two completely different characters. @DarkRoast pointed it out in a different topic months back, but this scene when he smiles feels really out of place for his eventual reveal: https://youtu.be/Z5wIzJr33Ko?t=87 And then the reveal happens and all of a sudden he's a 1-dimensional villain from the Disney renaissance, without the charm that those Disney villains had. --- DI MOLTO! ...

I think he would have been fine with marrying into status and that he was genuinely pleased to have found her. it's only when elsa's powers disrupt the kingdom that he realizes the marriage won't work and he'll need to seize control. ...

I loved Encanto, but yeah there is something special about the classic Disney villains that their newer movies are missing. Dr Facilier was the last truly classic villain, and even he was underutilized in his movie. I feel like it's an influence from Pixar and Ghibli. They're shifting more toward moral ambiguity, and plots where the "antagonist" is the situation the characters find themselves in. --- The owls are not what they seem. ... Copied to Clipboard!

MICHALECOLE posted... I generally hate villains who are evil with no motivation other than be evili guess if you look at them, they usually have reasons for being evil. like in sleeping beauty, the reason she's so evil is out of vain envy of sleeping beauty's beauty. once the mirror told her she isn't the best-looking woman any more, her vanity drove her to do all that crap. frollo is bitter because he loves esmeralda but can't have her scar is power hungry and bitter that the crown was gonna go to the first son and not him. cruella is...well maybe she's just innately evil LOL. ursula is bitter at king trident bc he apparently banished her. Most of the ones listed here were shitty people who ended up in a situation they didn't like, so they took it out on the protagonists. ... Copied to Clipboard!
