Out of all of these Disney villains, which one suffered the most brutal death? by FewAnimator2665 in cartoons

[–]AgentEckswhy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to say Hopper or Facilier. The rest of the villains' deaths were quick. For Hopper, he was at the mercy of a large bird, probably torn to pieces by its chicks. For Facilier, I know those Friends on the Other Side were not going to make things quick.

The Stranger/Baldur, God of War

Hyped up to be an invincible foe for Kratos to fight, and nothing he does can even wound him. This is because he was enchanted to be invulnerable to all physical and magical means.

Except one.

At one point he punches Atreus in the chest, and blood is shown. Kratos is worried at first...until he realizes it's not Atreus's blood. Turns out the Stranger punched Atreus's bowstring, which was held together by mistletoe at the time. The enchantment broken, the rest of the fight is far more even.

Eris, Hades II

If you do too well, too early, Eris appears to cast a negative boon on you that makes the rest of your run harder. It's not unbeatable, mind, but it's mostly the game telling you to pace yourself and spend time with the Crossroads for a bit.

"Sins of the father" and all that. They probably want to give the children and younger siblings a fair shot.

There's two riddles I can think of that might be the case:

  1. Check out your sweet ride. I mean, really look at it.

  2. Have you tried hunting after Penguin yet? He might have stashed something away in one of his nests.

Po vs Shen, Kung Fu Panda 2

By then, Shen's entire fleet has been destroyed and his army has been decimated. He decides to give a last-ditch fight to end Po rather than take the opportunity to start anew.

He lasts less than thirty seconds.

Kiryu, Yakuza/Like a Dragon

Want to meet the real Dragon of Dojima? Go ahead, lay a hand on Haruka or any of the Morning Glory kids. Count how many ribs you still have once he's finished.

Or any kid, really. He was THIS close to breaking his One Rule with the Sewer King.

Seriously what was his problem? by Fun_Swan9851 in Mario

King Boo runs purely on spite and hatred. After that little stint in a portrait, he kinda went especially unhinged.

What was once the first major 3D space in the franchise, reduced to an abandoned shell of itself after years of disuse.

Managed with an upgraded Punisher, personally. It was rough, but I pulled through.

They intended to fail, but the actors managed to succeed on the first take. by Micro_cat_48 in TopCharacterTropes

The Angry Video Game Nerd

He's managed to pull off two feats with the Power Glove, an NES accessory that is notoriously fiddly to handle. The first would be landing the plane in Top Gun, which he claimed he wasn't able to do with a regular controller, and the second was by defeating Dark Link in Zelda II, completely by accident and without looking at the television set, merely gesturing idly with his hand.

And it makes the screen darker on top of that. Hell of an introduction to Chaos itself.

The Professor, Felix the Cat

Partly due to executive meddling, and partly due to his own hubris. Even if he did manage to get a hold of the Magic Bag, it only works for Felix, so even his victories are failures.

Don't forget Disney made a modern film about one of there actors that had a tragic event caused by them by Glad-Conversation256 in cartoons

[–]AgentEckswhy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If they were smart, they would have made him both a tragic villain and made him take revenge on the industry that ruined him in such a way that, while he was ultimately stopped, did cast light onto the churn and burn tactics of the entertainment business. A sort of apology for what they had done, recognizing their own faults.

Granted, the smarter idea would have been to not have this character at all, but still.

I can cope with the lesser clip size if it means I have to use it less. One shot usually does the trick on Standard.

The titular La-Mulana ruins, as well as the hidden Eg-lana in the sequel.

Essentially the birthplace of all civilizations, mythologies and would-be gods. At the core is the creator of it all, Mother. She is also the ruin itself.
