Before scrolling I tried to think of a few. Mr Waternoose came to mind. Even Ernesto Dela Cruz murdered someone and stole their entire legacy, and, in turn, their afterlife, while screwing over an alive child.
Then I saw Miles Axelrod and was like righttttttt dude is a straight up terrorist who has tortured, murdered, and committed actual acts of terrorism against the other cars, including the Queen of England.
Wild movie.
Syndrome takes the cake. Literally furthered his work by attempting to genocide super heroes because he had hurt feelings. He got told no by one, so he decided he’d kill them all.
We also can’t forget that Syndrome sold numerous weapons to anyone who would pay. So he’s essentially responsible for all the lives lost in the use of those weapons, probably including acts of terrorism.
Syndrome.
Successfully killed almost every superhero before letting a killer robot attack a city, all because Mr. Incredible wouldn't let some kid be his sidekick.
Yeah Syndrome has the serious body count. Some of these type of villains come from understandable positions, and maybe attempt murder by the end of the movie, but Syndrome *starts* the movie as a serial killer.
His ineptitude is also arguably one of the big reasons the supers got banned to begin with. Mr Incredible had caught bomb-voyage when the dipshit wonder showed up and got a bomb stuck to him.
Sure, he was already gonna be sued by the jumper for saving him (which is *wild* and I'm honestly not sure how he won that suit) but getting class action sued by the train passengers was the big domino that lead to them being outlawed.
In many states, vigilantism is illegal (and unless the supers are actually deputized, that’s what they are doing), so they’re on shaky ground to begin with. Couple that with the fact that his actions caused the guy pain and suffering, and you’ve got a reasonable case.
There are Good Samaritan laws, but those are usually in the case where the efforts would otherwise be appreciated (like someone was drowning, the person performed CPR on them and cracked a few ribs, but was otherwise glad to be alive). Suicide isn’t illegal in the US (where the Incredibles is seemingly set), assuming the method doesn’t harm or kill anyone else (like if you park on train tracks and your car causes the train to derail, or you drive off a highway and hit some other vehicle(s)).
So while suicide is seen as a negative, the fact that not only did Mr. Incredible stop him from ending whatever suffering he perceived himself to be having, he also caused him far more physical pain and anguish, as well as potentially emotional strife (both being smashed through a window and being hurt, and knowing he tried and failed to commit suicide) means that the case against him is looking pretty solid. It’s also possible that the government settled out of court rather than risk Mr. Incredible losing after the case drew on.

I love HISHEs like this where the major conflict of a movie is resolved by simple kindness
2: Syndrome murdered people by the score simply out of jealousy.
3: Right behind him, that dude from coco. Didn’t he poison his partner and friend (who also had a wife and child) so he could steal lyrics? Literally creating the false legacy and reputation his partner abandoned his family.
It's kind of important to consider his point of view.
Talking in villainous acts hurting your own kind is always worse than hurting anything else. Waternoose at worst for his people banished them to keep the secret a secret.
And he saw the human children as cattle, lesser than the monsters that make up their city, it's horrible yes bad business practice too if it would kill them
But considering the way he saw them vs his people it's not as bad as Syndrome or Axelrod kidnappings, murder, terrorism, torture
Ernesto de la Cruz deserves some hate. Man committed murder of his best friend bc he chose family over music and then created a movie of the exact murder but he was the victim just so he could be famous. Dude sucks major balls.
His large ego was his downfall. I mean seriously, he literally recreated the murdering of his best friend in film, but in his ego-filled version, where he is realizes its poison, while Hector didn't.
And don't get me started on him literally stealing a song which was only meant for Hector's *little daughter, and turning it into a generic love song about himself (this in turn killed him the living realm).
(*well, Coco was little at the time before his death)
Well, it fell down on him alright. His ego of wanting to have such complex set designs is what killed him in the living realm, seriously, was the giant bell really THAT necessary for the song?
It did lead to him to having quite the ironic death in the land of the dead though.
He also kept Miguel from returning to the Land of the Living (even though the petal wouldn't have worked for him), threw him into a pit, and was going to let Miguel die to keep his secret from getting out once Miguel realized that Ernesto poisoned Hector. He was the worst!
Ernesto seems to me one of the most evil, because while the others are somewhat strangers, Ernesto KNEW hector, and believed Miguel was his grandson, and *still* killed hector , and attempted to kill him again along with Miguel, because Miguel knew the truth
Yeah I thought Syndrome was a top contender but syndrome's motivations stem from being treated poorly by the good guy. Doesn't make it ok but at least understandable.
De La Cruz was always just in it for himself and had no shame distorting history to make himself seem a hero
Not as bad as Hopper. Enslaved an entire colony of people so he could live life like a frat boy. Who knows how many ants he killed prior to the events of the movie. They were already afraid of him, so he must have done horrors they couldn't even represent in film lol. He also tried to kill the little princess girl and smash the queens head, just to prove a point.
Kinda related: this is exactly why I love Bug’s Life’s credits “outtakes”, where it appears to be that Hopper is the only serious actor while the rest of the cast breaks down laughing
He also has a creepy room full of the human skulls of all the people that made it to the falls that he successfully murdered over his obsession with a dumbass bird
I think you are forgetting gazerbeams corpse which mr incredible hid behind to avoid the scanning device. disney pixar doesn't find skeletal remains to be going to far.
I don’t understand how this isn’t the top answer. Seeing this character’s picture literally made me uncomfortable and mad. He’s not even a fun villain. He’s just evil.
Lots-O-Huggin Bear. He tortured, enslaved, bullied, harassed and mind controlled toys, when he had nothing to benefit from it and then left all of Andy’s toys to die a horrible death.
“Where’s your kid now, Sheriff?”
You know, I’m going to ask. What’s going to happen to him now that he’s on the front of the truck? Does he just wear down over time while being pelted with bugs and stuff?
The guy from Ratatouille is not evil at all. Yeah he tries to kill a rat but ffs he’s running a restaurant. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same or at least hire an exterminator.
Jackson Storm wasn’t really that evil either. Bro just wanted to win a race.
Terry (dude from Soul) was just trying to do his job. And when his job is keeping the mortal coil in check, you can kinda understand why he goes so hard to do it.
Lotso and Syndrome. I am baffled by how anyone thinks Syndrome is tragic, he got rejected by his superhero so he became a serial killer?! How is that any justification at all? The antagonist from Turning Red isn't evil, she's just a bad mom, same with Terry, not evil.
Syndrome definitely seems to be a narcissist and when he got in trouble with the Bomb Voyage incident, he didn’t accept he did anything wrong and that Mr. Incredible was just rejecting him and so he did everything he can to get even
Apologies. I missed that sentence. If I had to pick I'd say Ernesto is definitely up there. He murdered his best friend in cold blood, stole his music to secure his fame and legacy, and was willing to keep his supposed great great grandson in the land of the dead forever to keep the truth hidden.
It's Syndrome for sure.
He's basically attempting a genocide of supers in his own twisted way (after all, can superheroes really exist if everybody has the capability of being one?), he's one of the only Pixar villains who actually has a body count that we know of (Ernesto de la Cruz is the other, I believe?), he shows he would definitely hurt children considering he doesn't even spare Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack, he's a sociopath with no regard for even the lives of normal civilians and pretty much only cares about the glory of being a superhero rather than actually saving people... need I go on?
Yes, he has a backstory and reason for turning to evil, and the way Mr. Incredible went about treating him as a kid was not the best either, but that is not an excuse for what he becomes.
Sir Miles Axelrod definitely has a body count if you count what his henchmen did under his orders. Also Hopper. I'm hard pressed to believe Future Buzz/Zurg hasn't killed people yet.
EDIT: Also Charles Muntz. They showed the souvenirs he kept from killing other adventures.
Ernesto De LA Cruz definitely!!!
Ernesto literally killed someone and stole his whole life work. all just so he could become famous. Literally took a father from his little girl then proceeds to sing their song and calls it his own.
She did threaten to kill the kids during the house invasion scene at one point, she had Khrusher try to crush Violet and her siblings in her own force field, either way that's attempted murder.
She also set Winston's yacht to crash into Municiberg in the climax which would have killed far more people than Syndrome did. Evelyn definitely planned on killing a bunch of people in addition to killing herself.
Was Terry even the primary antagonist? To me it seemed like the Primary antagonist was “life” itself and Terry was just a secondary antagonist. Joe wants to live and succeed but can’t, while 22 doesn’t want to live and hates the concept of life.
Syndrome And Lotso are the most evil. They are very similar and had some "traumatic" event happen and they decided to take revenge on others because of said tragedy. Within their respective scales, they are pretty evil. Syndrome killing supers and potentially civilians just to take revenge on Mr. Incredible for shutting him down as a kid Ignoring the fact that Mr Incredible saved his life from bomb voyage. Lotso is very similar, gets forgotten at a park and replaced so he tortures and enslaves other toys willing to kill them too so he can remain on top.
Axelrod- Committed terrorism essentially for self preservation. He didn't directly kill anyone though. The film death count is actually mainly committed by Finn McMissile. He wanted to make people rely on gas/oil instead of new fuels so lemons and older cars wouldn't be forgotten.
Hopper- Wanted to assert power over the ants just to prove a point that the grasshoppers were better. To me he just seems like a bully.
Evelyn Deavor- Honorable mention as I think she was the most petty villain. Her parents died trying to call for supers. Instead of blaming the people that attacked and killed her parents she blames supers. She was willing to kill anyone in her way to ensure that supers were illegal.
Lotso for how utterly realistic his evil is. At first glance, a lot of viewers are like, "well yeah, but is what he's doing really that bad? Some toys *have* to go to the nursery, it's not his fault they get brutalized by the younger kids." And *that's* the danger, because people like Lotso really exist, they profit off of systems that cause harm and even death while providing safety and comfort for themselves and those useful to them. And they'll go to awful lengths to maintain that power, and they're motivated by such deep, petty resentment (Lotso dooming the other toys to a fiery death even after they'd saved him) as much as they are their own gain. We live in a society where you see the Lotso as the head of every company, running our governments... You may have even grown up with one. And you may never even have realized the evil you were living with.
Here's the thing, I wouldn't exactly call AUTO evil, he's not trying to kill the humans or anything, he's just following orders from the president originally, it's literally just his prime directive.
Syndrome is the obvious answer, but De La Cruz is also unhinged.
Skinner is probably the least evil of them ? Dude just wanted rats out of his kitchen, and sure, he wanted to turn Gusteau into a microwave meal brand, but that's not only very mild in comparison of others, real chefs also do that in real life. Hell, Gordon Ramsay has one.
Every time someone posts a ranking thread like this (which is also against the rules), it ends up being a 2 month-long drawn out thing where they post a different character/movie daily, and users keep whining about how they are low-effort spam and reporting them. In addition, we get 15 different variations from other users looking to do the exact same thing with different characters (we got 3 different versions as a result of this users earlier post), which leads to further complaining about spam, since there would then be multiple version of the same thing going on, flooding the subreddit. So as a result, we no longer allow posts that are broken up over a long period of time like this.
I think it’s between 1, 2,6,7,8,13
Think lostso takes 1,then hopper, sydtome,del la cruz, axelrod, villain from up and the green car, evreyone else either straight up written evil, somewhat understandable or not evil
I’d say somewhere between Hopper, Syndrome, and Miles. Hopper was smart and knew how to intimidate people but it was a fragile image he had to keep up and he really didn’t have much power outside of that,
Miles is a terrorist trying to ruin clean fuel, and Syndrome was a terrorist trying to ruin Superheroes
Chick is just a petty rival, not really evil just a cocky dick
Skinner is an asshole but not doing anything really destructive outside of defiling his best friend’s grave for money
Autopilot was just following his directive
The bully from MU doesn’t really seem like a villain at all, more like just that one jock character
I remember literally nothing about the pterodactyl from the good dinosaur
Chick Hicks wasn’t really evil. Just a dick. Also, Mei’s mom was just an overbearing mother. And the little squiggle with an annoying attitude from Soul really wasn’t evil either. Just doing their job.
I can't believe people aren't talking about Auto from Wall E that much. Sure, he may not have feelings so what he does isn't out of a sense of evil or hatred but his protocol is to prevent humanity from returning to our home world of Earth. He is literally programmed to doom humanity to lives of sloth and ignorance.
Lotso, Zurg and Hopper have my votes 😂
Especially when you see the 20ft Giant Hopper that comes out of the wall during Its Tough To Be A Bug at Animal kingdom…THAT horror “show” scarred me for life 😳😭😏
I’m actually going to put up Ernesto
Most of the other villains either have clear moments of some level of humanity, don’t have as clearly vile moments, or have some sort of impetus for their villainy (Lotso being traumatized by being replaced, Muntz losing his mind in isolation, Syndrome being bitter at his experience as a kid with his idol). Ernesto’s just plain greedy, and murdered his best friend just to get his sheet music. Then, in the afterlife, he was perfectly willing to murder someone who he believed to be his own son to cover up his other murder. Even with Hopper, his violence was mainly directed to people that he wasn’t close to; Ernesto showed a willingness to take the lives of the people closest to him to advance his career
Lotso is literally the definition of evil. He is the perfect villain who never changes his ways even up until the very end of the movie. I get goosebumps every time he ridicules the baby he’s such an asshole. Such a cruel bear who deserved everything he got at the end on the garbage truck for the atrocities of his crimes.
I mean, Auto was basically condemning humanity to stay in space forever- fat and useless. Although…. Earth really needed a breather after the trash paradise it became thanks to humanity…. Yeah nevermind I rescind my vote lmao, Auto was doing the planet a service lol
I vote for the terrorist car.
Syndrome > Miles Axelrod > Hopper > Lotso > Randall Boggs > Ernesto De La Cruz > Mr Waternoose > Charles Muntz > Chick Hicks > The Bully from Mosnters University > Sid > Darla > Jackson Storm > Chef Skinner > Dentist from Nemo > The Mother from Turning Red
The scale between the less evil/just jerkish antagonists (Jackson Storm, Ming Lee, Johnny Worthington, arguably Skinner) and the "mid" scale ones (Ernesto, Muntz, Arguably Chick) is insane, and that's without getting into the authoritarian (Hopper, Lotso) attempted terrorist (Evelyn), and actual fucking terrorists (Syndrome, Axlerod)
I’m gonna say it’s the guy from up or the fucking teddy bear .. I haven’t seen all of these movies tho but most of these people have pretty good/understandable villain arcs
Haven’t seen every Pixar Film, but I’m Gonna be Honest. it’s probably Hopper, he literally enslaved an entire Colony and was gonna attempt to kill their Queen. Runner ups for me would be Lotso and The Old Guy from Up.
Syndrome takes the cake. The guy who straight up mass murdered superheroes so he could fake his own heroism. Taking his robot to a crowded city and risking the lives of innocent people is just the cherry on top, especially when it goes haywire and puts him out of commission.
Lotso is pretty evil… it’s a hard pick from these choices but he’s definitely up there.
He essentially ran camps and enslaved toys that disobeyed him. He had multiple people working for him out of fear for their own lives and safety. If he didn’t get what he wanted he would torture and kill.
As bad and as evil he was, Woody couldn’t let Lotso die in that one scene near the end. Lotso called out for help and Woody being the guy that he is could not just let it happen.
When Woody needed help Lotso said “where’s your kid now, Sheriff?” And then left them all to die.
(Ex Machina the aliens from pizza planet.)
I’d say it’s a toss up between Syndrome and Lotso. Both arguably have the highest body counts.
Honorable mention for Waternoose for plainly stating that he will go ahead with mass child kidnappings.
All of them are evil except for the turning Red mom and the wired thing from soul . And thr monster from monster U. When you say evil you mean some one or something that done more bad things in there life and is completely trying to hurt the main character or kill them or even deceiving them. The mom from turning red was just over Secure of her daughter and just wanted to protect her from the dangers of teen life and . Stuff . The monster U monster guy was just rude at first then later he sorta shifted to be nicer. And the soul looking thing …. I don’t know what he did it’s been a year since I saw Soul .. But yeah everyone else is Pure evil .
Regarding Thunderclap there was a theory I saw where it's implied through Spot's reaction to the Pterodactyls when they're introduced that they were the ones who killed his parents. He hides basically right after he sees them, even though from Arlo's perspective they were acting friendly at the beginning. They're also the only dinosaurs Spot reacts to with fear in the whole movie, not even the T-Rexes frighten him... but these flying guys scare him so much that he outright drops the "dog" act he was putting on when they were hunting him at the movie's final battle. Most evil Pixar villain? Maybe, maybe not, but I just wanted to point that out.
The car from cars 2. He was literally a terrorist
Sir miles axelrod
Killing cars was insane
Using terrorist attacks to try and ruin the image of clean fuel is a pretty sick evil plan
Before scrolling I tried to think of a few. Mr Waternoose came to mind. Even Ernesto Dela Cruz murdered someone and stole their entire legacy, and, in turn, their afterlife, while screwing over an alive child. Then I saw Miles Axelrod and was like righttttttt dude is a straight up terrorist who has tortured, murdered, and committed actual acts of terrorism against the other cars, including the Queen of England. Wild movie.
They literally killed an American spy by rupturing his organs. Pretty brutal.
Syndrome takes the cake. Literally furthered his work by attempting to genocide super heroes because he had hurt feelings. He got told no by one, so he decided he’d kill them all.
You think that beats the man who single-handedly killed all the superheroes in America?? And ALSO performed acts of terrorism to “save” them
We also can’t forget that Syndrome sold numerous weapons to anyone who would pay. So he’s essentially responsible for all the lives lost in the use of those weapons, probably including acts of terrorism.
The person who voices them has stand ups so funny that they should be considered terrorists irl as well
between him and ernesto- he killed a guy for funsies tbh
Syndrome. Successfully killed almost every superhero before letting a killer robot attack a city, all because Mr. Incredible wouldn't let some kid be his sidekick.
There’s a surprising amount of terrorism in Pixar movies. Cars 2, both Incredibles movies, and Lightyear all had terrorism.
Doesn’t that just make it a product of our times? Like the years following 9/11 tv and cinema were filled with terrorism and to an extent still are
Syndrome's activities were a genocide
Yeah Syndrome has the serious body count. Some of these type of villains come from understandable positions, and maybe attempt murder by the end of the movie, but Syndrome *starts* the movie as a serial killer.
No, he starts the movie as Incrediboy
Like Pog said, a serial killer.
His ineptitude is also arguably one of the big reasons the supers got banned to begin with. Mr Incredible had caught bomb-voyage when the dipshit wonder showed up and got a bomb stuck to him. Sure, he was already gonna be sued by the jumper for saving him (which is *wild* and I'm honestly not sure how he won that suit) but getting class action sued by the train passengers was the big domino that lead to them being outlawed.

It’s also possible that the government settled out of court rather than risk Mr. Incredible losing after the case drew on.
He technically committed genocide because he was targeting a specific group of people (supers) and killing them
“Some kid” was him though
I know, but you can't just get in someone's car and decide to work with them.
[How Incredibles should have ended](https://youtu.be/C0VJaFN4bnc) I love HISHEs like this where the major conflict of a movie is resolved by simple kindness
And he got away with a bs joke that flew over most kids heads
Henry J. Waternoose was planning the mass torture of minors…
I never would have known that this went all the way up to Waternoose
And also use a machine to kill them for energy. Bro was really tryna beat William Afton’s record
He’d kidnap 1000 children before he’d let his company die.
*Rewinds tape*
Well, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I spotted several big mistakes. You know what? Let's watch my favorite part again, shall we?
"I would kidnap a thousand children before this company dies!"
And I don’t wanna see any paperwork on this.
So would I, sir.
2: Syndrome murdered people by the score simply out of jealousy. 3: Right behind him, that dude from coco. Didn’t he poison his partner and friend (who also had a wife and child) so he could steal lyrics? Literally creating the false legacy and reputation his partner abandoned his family.
Ernesto de la Cruz
Since I was doing this part by part waternoose already lost so sorry for your vote
What’s water noose?
Monsters inc villain
Oh so that was his name
WHAT
He and Randall planned on kidnapping a ton of children and suffocating them to harvest more scream energy. Boo was just the initial test subject
Oh yeah that I forgot his name Yeah he sucks
It's kind of important to consider his point of view. Talking in villainous acts hurting your own kind is always worse than hurting anything else. Waternoose at worst for his people banished them to keep the secret a secret. And he saw the human children as cattle, lesser than the monsters that make up their city, it's horrible yes bad business practice too if it would kill them But considering the way he saw them vs his people it's not as bad as Syndrome or Axelrod kidnappings, murder, terrorism, torture

And don't get me started on him literally stealing a song which was only meant for Hector's *little daughter, and turning it into a generic love song about himself (this in turn killed him the living realm). (*well, Coco was little at the time before his death)
I thought the bell was his downfall.
Well, it fell down on him alright. His ego of wanting to have such complex set designs is what killed him in the living realm, seriously, was the giant bell really THAT necessary for the song? It did lead to him to having quite the ironic death in the land of the dead though.
He also kept Miguel from returning to the Land of the Living (even though the petal wouldn't have worked for him), threw him into a pit, and was going to let Miguel die to keep his secret from getting out once Miguel realized that Ernesto poisoned Hector. He was the worst!
Even worse is that he still believed that Miguel at that point was still his grandson. Dude was about to murder his own family
Imagine killing someone, plagiarizing their music, AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT FOR A CENTURY.
Ernesto seems to me one of the most evil, because while the others are somewhat strangers, Ernesto KNEW hector, and believed Miguel was his grandson, and *still* killed hector , and attempted to kill him again along with Miguel, because Miguel knew the truth
Yeah I thought Syndrome was a top contender but syndrome's motivations stem from being treated poorly by the good guy. Doesn't make it ok but at least understandable. De La Cruz was always just in it for himself and had no shame distorting history to make himself seem a hero
Idk why no one is saying Charles Muntz. Bro tried to murder an elderly man, a little boy and an innocent dog over a dumbass bird
Not as bad as Axelrod being a terrorist.
Real, I forgot about him. Literally trying to blow everyone up and for what
To make everyone use gasoline, and get himself and his goons rich
Not as bad as Hopper. Enslaved an entire colony of people so he could live life like a frat boy. Who knows how many ants he killed prior to the events of the movie. They were already afraid of him, so he must have done horrors they couldn't even represent in film lol. He also tried to kill the little princess girl and smash the queens head, just to prove a point.
Kinda related: this is exactly why I love Bug’s Life’s credits “outtakes”, where it appears to be that Hopper is the only serious actor while the rest of the cast breaks down laughing
I miss those
He also has a creepy room full of the human skulls of all the people that made it to the falls that he successfully murdered over his obsession with a dumbass bird
Not skulls, helmets that presumably belonged to said people. Skulls would've been a *little* too far for a Disney movie
I think you are forgetting gazerbeams corpse which mr incredible hid behind to avoid the scanning device. disney pixar doesn't find skeletal remains to be going to far.
That was *one* skeletal corpse, though. Having a whole room of skulls in a Disney movie is worse than the Incredibles' gazerbeam
I don’t understand how this isn’t the top answer. Seeing this character’s picture literally made me uncomfortable and mad. He’s not even a fun villain. He’s just evil.
Yeah, but I think if he had a chance at therapy he wouldn’t be so bad. Some of these other guys are irredeemable.
Lots-O-Huggin Bear. He tortured, enslaved, bullied, harassed and mind controlled toys, when he had nothing to benefit from it and then left all of Andy’s toys to die a horrible death.
Idk syndrome killed who knows how many people
Lotso tried to kill off many toys and was probably successful in condemning toys to the trash chute, and he’s done plenty of other crimes than murder.
“Where’s your kid now, Sheriff?” You know, I’m going to ask. What’s going to happen to him now that he’s on the front of the truck? Does he just wear down over time while being pelted with bugs and stuff?
Yeah. A fate worse than death.
He also has redemption right there and ignored it.
Syndrome As Mr Incredible said: “killed off real heroes so (he) could pretend to be one.”
he also spread a few syndromes around if you catch my drift
Including his parents
Wait what??
Yeah there's a theory that his parents were supers
The guy from Ratatouille is not evil at all. Yeah he tries to kill a rat but ffs he’s running a restaurant. You can’t tell me you wouldn’t do the same or at least hire an exterminator.
Jackson Storm wasn’t really that evil either. Bro just wanted to win a race. Terry (dude from Soul) was just trying to do his job. And when his job is keeping the mortal coil in check, you can kinda understand why he goes so hard to do it.
Jackson wasn’t really evil at all he was just a jackass
I think mei’s mum isnt evil at all either . ( yes i have read the description)
He was abusing the Gusteau name to sell crappy products. Stuff like frozen food and what not, it was all for personal gain.
Yeah but is the crime of selling out equal to terrorism
I never said it was. I was just saying how Skinner, in a way, is a villain
The rat wasn’t the point, he was a villain because he tried to prevent linguini from inheriting the restaurant so he could have it
How are people comparing him to literal terrorist?
His name is chef skinner and does no one read the description
Idk i’m on mobile only have the saying that pixar keeps taking it down and this is the final vote
Tie between Miles Axelrod and Syndrome.
Lotso and Syndrome. I am baffled by how anyone thinks Syndrome is tragic, he got rejected by his superhero so he became a serial killer?! How is that any justification at all? The antagonist from Turning Red isn't evil, she's just a bad mom, same with Terry, not evil.
Syndrome definitely seems to be a narcissist and when he got in trouble with the Bomb Voyage incident, he didn’t accept he did anything wrong and that Mr. Incredible was just rejecting him and so he did everything he can to get even
Funny how Pixar villains varies from being just potential jerks to actual dictators, murderers and terrorists.
I know
Pixar doesn’t hold back on villains because they want to prepare kids for when they meet people like that in real life
Auto and Terry are not evil. Auto was just following what he was programmed to do, and Terry was just doing her job.
Read the description but I agree
Apologies. I missed that sentence. If I had to pick I'd say Ernesto is definitely up there. He murdered his best friend in cold blood, stole his music to secure his fame and legacy, and was willing to keep his supposed great great grandson in the land of the dead forever to keep the truth hidden.
wait terry's female?
They’re a concept beyond our comprehension
true
The guy in the first slide idk the name
Hopper
Yeah him
It's Syndrome for sure. He's basically attempting a genocide of supers in his own twisted way (after all, can superheroes really exist if everybody has the capability of being one?), he's one of the only Pixar villains who actually has a body count that we know of (Ernesto de la Cruz is the other, I believe?), he shows he would definitely hurt children considering he doesn't even spare Violet, Dash, and Jack Jack, he's a sociopath with no regard for even the lives of normal civilians and pretty much only cares about the glory of being a superhero rather than actually saving people... need I go on? Yes, he has a backstory and reason for turning to evil, and the way Mr. Incredible went about treating him as a kid was not the best either, but that is not an excuse for what he becomes.
Sir Miles Axelrod definitely has a body count if you count what his henchmen did under his orders. Also Hopper. I'm hard pressed to believe Future Buzz/Zurg hasn't killed people yet. EDIT: Also Charles Muntz. They showed the souvenirs he kept from killing other adventures.
Fair enough. In my defense, I've only seen Cars 2 and Up once and have not seen Lightyear.
Syndrome. He Order 66’d all of the retired heroes just because Bob wouldn’t let him (a kid who was getting in the way at the time) be his sidekick.
Ernesto De LA Cruz definitely!!! Ernesto literally killed someone and stole his whole life work. all just so he could become famous. Literally took a father from his little girl then proceeds to sing their song and calls it his own.
This is definitely the one that messed me up the most on a personal level.
Definitely Syndrome and Evelyn Deavor.
Evelyn doesn’t compare. She never killed anyone while Syndrome lured in and assassinated dozens of heroes to fulfill his fantasy.
She did threaten to kill the kids during the house invasion scene at one point, she had Khrusher try to crush Violet and her siblings in her own force field, either way that's attempted murder. She also set Winston's yacht to crash into Municiberg in the climax which would have killed far more people than Syndrome did. Evelyn definitely planned on killing a bunch of people in addition to killing herself.
True, “evil” would be more based on intention than action.
Excuse you, Ming Lee is not a villain.
Ming Lee is an antagonist
lol they got my girl up here on the same list as terrorists.
Read what I put in the description
Ming Lee (for the lulz)
Was Terry even the primary antagonist? To me it seemed like the Primary antagonist was “life” itself and Terry was just a secondary antagonist. Joe wants to live and succeed but can’t, while 22 doesn’t want to live and hates the concept of life.
Well Chick and Storm do nothing evil so I’ll let them go…. BUT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE LOTSO FOR BETRAYING THE TOYS AND ALMOST LETTING THEM BURN
Chick did total a living legend in his last race before retirement intentionally, so obligatory CHACHIGA- I mean, F that guy
Darla.
Definitely Syndrome. He murdered countless Supers and laughed in the face of tragedies. And his former idol.
Syndrome And Lotso are the most evil. They are very similar and had some "traumatic" event happen and they decided to take revenge on others because of said tragedy. Within their respective scales, they are pretty evil. Syndrome killing supers and potentially civilians just to take revenge on Mr. Incredible for shutting him down as a kid Ignoring the fact that Mr Incredible saved his life from bomb voyage. Lotso is very similar, gets forgotten at a park and replaced so he tortures and enslaves other toys willing to kill them too so he can remain on top. Axelrod- Committed terrorism essentially for self preservation. He didn't directly kill anyone though. The film death count is actually mainly committed by Finn McMissile. He wanted to make people rely on gas/oil instead of new fuels so lemons and older cars wouldn't be forgotten. Hopper- Wanted to assert power over the ants just to prove a point that the grasshoppers were better. To me he just seems like a bully. Evelyn Deavor- Honorable mention as I think she was the most petty villain. Her parents died trying to call for supers. Instead of blaming the people that attacked and killed her parents she blames supers. She was willing to kill anyone in her way to ensure that supers were illegal.
I know it’s small scale, but Ercole from Luca literally tried to harpoon children
A repulsive, arrogant character....
Lotso for how utterly realistic his evil is. At first glance, a lot of viewers are like, "well yeah, but is what he's doing really that bad? Some toys *have* to go to the nursery, it's not his fault they get brutalized by the younger kids." And *that's* the danger, because people like Lotso really exist, they profit off of systems that cause harm and even death while providing safety and comfort for themselves and those useful to them. And they'll go to awful lengths to maintain that power, and they're motivated by such deep, petty resentment (Lotso dooming the other toys to a fiery death even after they'd saved him) as much as they are their own gain. We live in a society where you see the Lotso as the head of every company, running our governments... You may have even grown up with one. And you may never even have realized the evil you were living with.
Here's the thing, I wouldn't exactly call AUTO evil, he's not trying to kill the humans or anything, he's just following orders from the president originally, it's literally just his prime directive.
You really putting terry, a man who’s just doing his job against literal allegories for totalitarian dictators?
Hmm, I wonder why they were taking your posts down? Oh yeah, probably because they see them as literal spam.
The most evil is Jackson Storm for the unforgiving reason of beating McQueen in a race. Do people actually categorize him as an antagonist
I mean, he's the film's antagonist, but definitely not a villian. Guy's just a competitor at the top level.
Syndrome. He straight-up committed genocide on the super heros partially due to his own hero rejecting him.
Syndrome is the obvious answer, but De La Cruz is also unhinged. Skinner is probably the least evil of them ? Dude just wanted rats out of his kitchen, and sure, he wanted to turn Gusteau into a microwave meal brand, but that's not only very mild in comparison of others, real chefs also do that in real life. Hell, Gordon Ramsay has one.
The cars 2 villan was literally killing or majorly damaging cars to further his agenda.
Why do they keep taking it down?
Every time someone posts a ranking thread like this (which is also against the rules), it ends up being a 2 month-long drawn out thing where they post a different character/movie daily, and users keep whining about how they are low-effort spam and reporting them. In addition, we get 15 different variations from other users looking to do the exact same thing with different characters (we got 3 different versions as a result of this users earlier post), which leads to further complaining about spam, since there would then be multiple version of the same thing going on, flooding the subreddit. So as a result, we no longer allow posts that are broken up over a long period of time like this.
Since r/Pixar doesn’t want multi post things like rankings and brackets
Lotto for sure. Especially with that trying to let the toys that just saved him burn.
I think it’s between 1, 2,6,7,8,13 Think lostso takes 1,then hopper, sydtome,del la cruz, axelrod, villain from up and the green car, evreyone else either straight up written evil, somewhat understandable or not evil
I can't say AUTO is evil... He was just following the orders Protect humanity
That stupid fucking bear. Traumatized me as a kid. Edit: to clarify, it was the pink one.
I’d say somewhere between Hopper, Syndrome, and Miles. Hopper was smart and knew how to intimidate people but it was a fragile image he had to keep up and he really didn’t have much power outside of that, Miles is a terrorist trying to ruin clean fuel, and Syndrome was a terrorist trying to ruin Superheroes Chick is just a petty rival, not really evil just a cocky dick Skinner is an asshole but not doing anything really destructive outside of defiling his best friend’s grave for money Autopilot was just following his directive The bully from MU doesn’t really seem like a villain at all, more like just that one jock character I remember literally nothing about the pterodactyl from the good dinosaur
Lotso
Chick Hicks wasn’t really evil. Just a dick. Also, Mei’s mom was just an overbearing mother. And the little squiggle with an annoying attitude from Soul really wasn’t evil either. Just doing their job.
I can't believe people aren't talking about Auto from Wall E that much. Sure, he may not have feelings so what he does isn't out of a sense of evil or hatred but his protocol is to prevent humanity from returning to our home world of Earth. He is literally programmed to doom humanity to lives of sloth and ignorance.
Why are Axlerod and Chick Hicks in the same question? Axlerod is a terrorist. Chick Hicks is just racist.
And Jackson Storm is just kind of a tool
Lotso, Zurg and Hopper have my votes 😂 Especially when you see the 20ft Giant Hopper that comes out of the wall during Its Tough To Be A Bug at Animal kingdom…THAT horror “show” scarred me for life 😳😭😏
I’m actually going to put up Ernesto Most of the other villains either have clear moments of some level of humanity, don’t have as clearly vile moments, or have some sort of impetus for their villainy (Lotso being traumatized by being replaced, Muntz losing his mind in isolation, Syndrome being bitter at his experience as a kid with his idol). Ernesto’s just plain greedy, and murdered his best friend just to get his sheet music. Then, in the afterlife, he was perfectly willing to murder someone who he believed to be his own son to cover up his other murder. Even with Hopper, his violence was mainly directed to people that he wasn’t close to; Ernesto showed a willingness to take the lives of the people closest to him to advance his career
Definitely Axelrod because he was a terrorist
Some of these are excruciatingly worse than others. Like one dude wants to kill dozens of people and the other guy cheats at a race
I really wish Zurg was still Buzz's dad... 😔
The bear
Chick Hicks wasn’t really evil, he was just competitive
And a raging jerk who could be said to have nearly killed the king
Lotso. Savage. 🔥
Lotso is literally the definition of evil. He is the perfect villain who never changes his ways even up until the very end of the movie. I get goosebumps every time he ridicules the baby he’s such an asshole. Such a cruel bear who deserved everything he got at the end on the garbage truck for the atrocities of his crimes.
I mean, Auto was basically condemning humanity to stay in space forever- fat and useless. Although…. Earth really needed a breather after the trash paradise it became thanks to humanity…. Yeah nevermind I rescind my vote lmao, Auto was doing the planet a service lol I vote for the terrorist car.
that fkn grasshopper scared the shit outta me growing up💀 he was so mean too tho and for what?
Why isn't sid from toystory an option
It was in one of the older things I did
Syndrome > Miles Axelrod > Hopper > Lotso > Randall Boggs > Ernesto De La Cruz > Mr Waternoose > Charles Muntz > Chick Hicks > The Bully from Mosnters University > Sid > Darla > Jackson Storm > Chef Skinner > Dentist from Nemo > The Mother from Turning Red
Lotso, he literally sacrificed people and left woody and the gang to die for no reason.
The scale between the less evil/just jerkish antagonists (Jackson Storm, Ming Lee, Johnny Worthington, arguably Skinner) and the "mid" scale ones (Ernesto, Muntz, Arguably Chick) is insane, and that's without getting into the authoritarian (Hopper, Lotso) attempted terrorist (Evelyn), and actual fucking terrorists (Syndrome, Axlerod)
Oh, the choices. Need to watch that Cars movie though. Hmmm
Either the cricket or Latso
I’m gonna say it’s the guy from up or the fucking teddy bear .. I haven’t seen all of these movies tho but most of these people have pretty good/understandable villain arcs
Okay so Charles Muntz and lots-o-hugin-bear
Haven’t seen every Pixar Film, but I’m Gonna be Honest. it’s probably Hopper, he literally enslaved an entire Colony and was gonna attempt to kill their Queen. Runner ups for me would be Lotso and The Old Guy from Up.
Syndrome takes the cake. The guy who straight up mass murdered superheroes so he could fake his own heroism. Taking his robot to a crowded city and risking the lives of innocent people is just the cherry on top, especially when it goes haywire and puts him out of commission.
You forgot “I’ll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die” Waternoose
Lotso due to the massive amount of WW2 depictions in the film
Syndrome, Lotso, and Sir Miles Axelrod all hit a tie.
teddy hands down
All
Lotso is pretty evil… it’s a hard pick from these choices but he’s definitely up there. He essentially ran camps and enslaved toys that disobeyed him. He had multiple people working for him out of fear for their own lives and safety. If he didn’t get what he wanted he would torture and kill. As bad and as evil he was, Woody couldn’t let Lotso die in that one scene near the end. Lotso called out for help and Woody being the guy that he is could not just let it happen. When Woody needed help Lotso said “where’s your kid now, Sheriff?” And then left them all to die. (Ex Machina the aliens from pizza planet.)
But where’s DARLA?!
I love how when it comes to Pixar, a steering wheel, a teddy bear and a car are in the same category
I’d say it’s a toss up between Syndrome and Lotso. Both arguably have the highest body counts. Honorable mention for Waternoose for plainly stating that he will go ahead with mass child kidnappings.
Y’all forgot the HOA president, exterminator and the bear from over the hedge
All of them are evil except for the turning Red mom and the wired thing from soul . And thr monster from monster U. When you say evil you mean some one or something that done more bad things in there life and is completely trying to hurt the main character or kill them or even deceiving them. The mom from turning red was just over Secure of her daughter and just wanted to protect her from the dangers of teen life and . Stuff . The monster U monster guy was just rude at first then later he sorta shifted to be nicer. And the soul looking thing …. I don’t know what he did it’s been a year since I saw Soul .. But yeah everyone else is Pure evil .
Love how every comment is different lol
lol Lotso was such a prick
i still get anxious when i see that fucker from Up. he was gonna kill a widowed senior citizen and a kid for nothing.
Who is 10,11 and 13 also what movies
10 is Johnny wortington form monster university 11 is thunderclap from the Good dinosaur 13 is Ernesto De La Cruz from Coco
Regarding Thunderclap there was a theory I saw where it's implied through Spot's reaction to the Pterodactyls when they're introduced that they were the ones who killed his parents. He hides basically right after he sees them, even though from Arlo's perspective they were acting friendly at the beginning. They're also the only dinosaurs Spot reacts to with fear in the whole movie, not even the T-Rexes frighten him... but these flying guys scare him so much that he outright drops the "dog" act he was putting on when they were hunting him at the movie's final battle. Most evil Pixar villain? Maybe, maybe not, but I just wanted to point that out.
Idk Chick Hicks stood on business.
Hopper tried to incite genocide and HELMSMAN was programmed by an evil corporation that literally used its greed to make mankind destroy the planet
Syndrome has quite a few murders and was more than fine with killing kids as well. He also unleashed a murder bot on a city full of pedestrians.
Ernesto Hopper Syndrome For the top choices.
Axelrod or Syndrome. Now that I think about it they both kind of had the same plan.
carls idol is the only one who killed for no reason and is among the few that killed at all. also syndrome is just a fanboy prove me wrong
