I hate Chick the most I think, He’ not really a bad guy, He just want’s fame.
I didn’t like Chick in the first Cars. He was irritating to listen to and cheated whenever things didn’t go his way during the races.
Lighting was alsmost the same though, he only cared about fame.
Yes, Lightning was kind of selfish at the beginning of the film and only cared about getting the sponsorship for Dinoco.
I didn’t like Chick, but I don’t think he is a villain personally.
I agree!
Exactly, that’s what I was saying before. Most people call every antagonist a “villain”, and that’s not always the case.
That would be because Chick had no participation with the main character’s (Lightning’s) development, correct? He really didn’t effect it in any way. He wasn’t even any kind of threat.
He sorta did, Lighting wanted to win just as much as Chick, when he’s at Radiator Springs, he’s worried thet Chick is there and we will get Dinoco. Later on, Lighting has changed and Chick has not, Lighting knows life isn’t all about fame and forthune, He wouls rather have the King finish happily then win it all like Chick, or he may be like him again ince he became famous.
Yeah, I suppose you’re right. Especially about Chick serving as a distraction for Lightning.
He shows what Lighting would of becoem if he won. I wonder what happened to him.
Sorry, Spirit. I must have missed where you said that. 
^ Haha, no.
Yo didn’t say exactly what I said. You just completed the idea 
Oh, good. 
What a relief.
Oddly I also liked having Hal as a villian/antagonist (from Megamind, Dreamworks, not Disney), because he’s honestly someone we don’t get enough of in the villian role in media (unfortunately such guys are sometimes the ‘heroes’). I’d hate him if I met him IRL, but it’s nice to have him as a villian. He’s the “Nice Guy” (as in a guy who is really not nice at all). Who thinks he should be ‘rewarded’ with womanly affections for doing what he thinks are ‘good deeds’. Hal honestly makes me shudder because who hasn’t really met/heard of someone like that in real life? Wouldn’t it be a great nightmare if someone like that got superpowers? Because his level of self entitlement and attitude towards women or a specific woman is beyond creepy and dangerous if he got any power to abuse. Yet unfortunately, it’s also true to real life that while (not the powers, thankfully) such an attitude exists in a certain number of people in every day life.
So I’m kind of curious, apart from Frollo (since people who genuinely think they’re a ‘better christian’ or maybe a ‘better person’ than everyone else despite evidence to the contrary exist). Are there any Disney/Pixar villians you find interesting because of how they seem to act like people you could see existing/know exist?
Pixar antagonists/villians can have this but what about the mother company? Any recommendations?
Sadly, we have Hoppers and Lotsos in the real world.
I’ve heard people complaining about them being “weak” characters devoid of strong motives, and not very realistic. Clearly, they’ve had a fortunate life far away from tyrants.
Some of the “villains” in the real word are very complex (like in the Frollo case you mention), but others are simply evil for the sake of it, often because of medical issues.
PS: Speaking about evil as the result of a psychological abnormality, I recently read a very interesting reflection on the punishments that people receive from the law, even when they scientifically can’t help themselves. Regrettably, as the text admitted, it’s very difficult to come with a best alternative.
True, there are people in real life we can lack the ability for many of us to fully understand sometimes.
I suppose however, in fiction, we tend to want things to make more sense than they always do in real life. And killing off someone with a psychological disorder in fiction has of course, very unfortunate implications. Often, a strange thing is Disney however is that the heroes don’t tend to do the killing, an act of nature, or the villian/antagonist does themselves in accidentally some way. We tend to want to understand character motivations. And while there’s no ‘evil gene’ there are certain things out there which can affect brain chemistry making things like consequences or empathy really hard for some people to grasp.
Plus in a general way, when it isn’t down to brain chemistry, how a person was raised to believe what was ‘normal’ if even only in a subconscious way can have a large effect on behaviour. Sometimes even when consciously they have been taught and realise something is wrong, their subconscious seems to think otherwise. It’s sometimes why it can be difficult for previously abused children to raise children themselves. They have to constantly remind themselves that their environment wasn’t normal or right, especially when it comes to the time when they have to instigate discipline.
Plus of course, while people don’t even realise it, things like no sleep even for a short amount of time can result in most people becoming irritable, unreasonable and paranoid. (Which was why I quite liked Applejack’s episode when she was overworked in MLP.)
There can be various factors at work there. And real life, unfortunately doesn’t always makes sense like fiction sometimes does. After all, fiction tends to have clear cut endings- and tried to tie up loose threads. Real life doesn’t exactly have that. Sometimes ‘stories’ come to a screeching halt before they should. Also while I think most answers are out there for science, we don’t understand everything yet, and we don’t have all the evidence and materials to answer these questions at the present time. And the ‘story’ hadn’t finished yet at all, not even when we’re all gone ourselves.
If real life was a story, we’d all be complaining about how nonsensical it can be sometimes and how it doesn’t seem to be trying to say anything- other than the fact life doesn’t always seem to make sense from where we’re standing at the present moment of time, and that’s its questionable whether there really is anything to ultimately make sense of.

My personal favorite is The Bowler Hat Guy from meet the robinsons .
And the robotic hat of course.
Maleficent is a classic villain for me, and I love her design. Other than her, I like Bowler Hat Guy, Cruella DeVil, Captain Hook, Scar, Yzma, and Ursula.
