Is Darth Vader Disney's darkest villian?

 

[hertamaniac]

It only took the ending of Rogue One to make my answer, yes.

Well, Vader is a monster no doubt, but would even the Sith lord go so far as to try to kill a bunch of puppies just to make a coat? Nah, it's Cruela De Vil - the most evil Disney villain of all time!

Vader had redemption so hard to say he’s the darkest. I’d give Claude Frollo a nod on that one, but there are plenty of cruel and evil options to go from.

Judge Frollo is pretty bad - that is one seriously tortured man!

Also, Madame Medusa from The Rescuers is a real peice of work. I mean, she kidnappend an orphan to dig for a diamond, and it seems that it wasn't the first time!

The animation style that they used for that film only served to amplify it, which is why he tops my list.

Honestly the most underrated Disney movie. The music is likely one of the best, if not the best. The artistry, particularly for the time it came out was ahead of it's time. The story literally goes from hateful murder to glorious celebrating. Life lessons to be learned. For sure a favorite here for more than a few reasons.

There's also this guy, who is basically the devil!



Then again, I don't think even Chernabog would murder puppies!

Cruella was my childhood villain (yes I've ALWAYS been a villain child, not princess, big surprise) and as an adult who loves dogs I struggled with being her number one fan. But then Disney brought out the CRUELLA movie and I've lost count how many times I've watched. There are two sides to every story so my Cruella loves puppies and her story was misunderstood.

PS VERY excited Chernabog will have a presence in Villains Land.

Didn't Vader have his hand directly in the destruction of Alderaan? At a population of 2 billion humans and 5% other, I'd say quite a few animals died. And the fact they had no weapons and were not a threat to the Empire, made him eviler.

I’d put more on Grand Moff Tarkin than Vader for that decision.

I think it was led by Tarkin and agreed upon by Vadar. Vader ordered the Imperial military to chase down any Alderaan survivors for execution just added more to his sinister nature.

I mean, Maleficent is the mistress of all evil. If you ignore all of the live action movies, you’ve got a character who loses her mind because she wasn’t on the guest list for a baby shower. Instead of just killing the baby, she gives them the potential to get close to their daughter for 16 years before she plans to kill her…a thought that tortures the parents to the point that they miss her entire life to try and keep her safe. In other words, the death curse rips her from their lives regardless.

Mother Gothel can be considered as bad as Frollo. They have a lot to bond over.

We've got to remember too that motivations matter. It's one thing to kill a lot of people to bring a perception of order to the galaxy, but it's another to kill puppies for a fashionable coat. Even Chernabog's followers were throwing themselves into the volcano, but they chose to do that! From my perspective, Cruella is just the worst, most petty one of all.

Maleficent gave Stephan and Leah a chance to take action. They know exactly where their daughter is and that she is in (relatively) safe hands.

Rapunzel's parents didn't have that luxury.

Scar is pretty diabolical. Killed his brother and willing to kill his nephew for power.

I'd put Thanos up there. I mean, in addition to all the civilizations he massacred, he kidnapped at least 2 and tortured them - poor Nebula was more parts than flesh, and he threw Gamora, the one who he claimed to love the most, off a cliff to her death just to fulfill his goals.
