I'm pushing back on your #3 - Scar's mistake was turning on the hyenas. They may not be the smartest group of animals in the Serengeti, but they knew enough. I can't help but think of Shenzi's line in "Be Prepared" when she asks "and where do *we* feature?" She knows this all sounds good, but what's in it for the hyena clan? Then when Simba defeats him, the hyenas are quick to call on his turning on them to save his own skin. Turning on your own army is a pretty dumb move.
Regardless of how the story is written, any villain can try to be smart… but one wrong move can turn them into a complete idiot, and cause their demise.
and it wasn't the Hyena Trio's fault that they failed to kill Simba, they were reluctant to chase him through a bramble thicket and even agreed that they didn't HAVE to keep chasing him since they knew a lion cub wouldn't get very far in a wide open desert, they just didn't count on Timon and Pumbaa showing up.
Shenzi is also the one who calls out Scar to fulfill his end of the deal and he just nonchalantly says "Oh kill Zazu" so Shenzi was already getting really fed up with him. the Insult at the end was the signal that Scar was never going to fulfill his promise and they used that to justify killing him in the end. Then according to Kingdom hearts, they just go back to the mammoth graveyard and feed on scraps and just stay away from the Pridelands.
I always thought it was the most obvious example of divine irony. He is a wicked man and says god will plunge the wicked into the fiery pit. He then proceeds to be plunged into a fiery pit while staring down a judgmental demonic visage.
Even as a child, I thought that Hans leaving Anna to die of a frozen heart, WITHOUT EVEN locking the door, was ridiculous, since a passing servant could have easily walked in and found her there.
Hans as a villain is just stupid Like the idea of having an evil prince and subverting the Disney prince trope is a great idea. But the way he was handled in this movie was just bad execution.
Well to be honest what do you expect he can't move around and do it himself. Because if he did there will be a trace of evidence against him so it's better to have dim-witted henchmen to do it though dumb as it is he probably didn't have a choice.
@CodyG2bFontenot that was insurance, he knew if Hercules lived he would overthrow him... but that's the problem with the Fates in Greek mythology, you can't avoid your destiny.
I’m surprised Ursula wasn’t added onto the list. Incase anyone has forgotten that soon as she had the triton and made herself a giant she brought all the sunken ships above which allowed Eric to steer one right through her and she ends up dying from that. I consider that a grave mistake on her part
Indeed--one of only a few rather macabre Disney deaths they actually SHOWED (along with Clayton getting hanged--shown via silhouette during a thunderclap--and Maleficent getting stabbed whilst a dragon)
Yeah, seriously… revenge schemes never end up well for the villain and for Callaghan it’s worse because his daughter was still alive! Oh and btw I just have to say that Fred was being insanely stupid I’m not remembering that the suit isn’t his actual body… he practically needs to be reminded! So there’s also a stupid hero mistake too. Anyways have a great day!
Also, don't force a literal militia you conscript to do your dirty work for free (after 26 years, I can finally hear that "Quid-Pro-Quo" part in the song).
Also Jafar could have easily circumvented his fate by wishing to be a all-powerfull FREE Genie. Seriously add a single damn word to your wish and you're home free.
@@timbo3286 I have a feeling that wouldn't have worked. Your master has to be the one to free you. So you have to be a genie in servitude and hope that you have a master like Aladdin to free you.
To be fair, some heroes can make practical uses of their capes for things like improvised gliders and parachutes. Darkwing Duck was really good at that.
If you count his origin story in the Lion Guard he’s even dumber. He had a God roar that could cause tornadoes, hurricanes and destroy mountains. And he didn’t kill Mufasa with it, only his royal guard.
@ZoeMuller80 The Lion Guard. Some TV series on Disney channel. Totally different from the main story line. There, Simba has a son that was never mentioned at all. Something that doesn't make sense to me.
No offense, but this "no capes" scene make no sense. In all of shown cases (including Sindrom death), capes either make no difference (turbine, tornado), or couldn't realistically behave like that
It's pretty easy to explain, if not distasteful. Ratcliffe must have had connections in England and could've used those to either avoid trial altogether or arrange for a sympathetic judge (or one he could pay off) to preside over his trial.
Well remember, he was very manipulative and the king basically believed just about everything he said until the very end of the second movie. So it's very possible that he lied to the king spinning a story that spared him any punishment for the time being
That's the trouble with a lot of these particular Disney villains, They all had habits of either not completely thinking their plans through, Not considering how their plans could backfire, And they always underestimate the heroes.
Not to mention their underlings and treating them bad. It doesn’t pay to be mean especially to the people who work for you. Fear does not make true loyalty. Once you lose all that power, they have no reason to fear and listen to you anymore. It’s all about how you treat people.

In the 1991 animated version of Beauty and the Beast, Gaston shoots the beast in the back after breaking into his castle and then throws him through a window and off a balcony. As he stands over his victim ready to strike the finishing blow, he mocks the beast for being "too kind and gentle to fight back," making it crystal clear to viewers that his actions are driven entirely by jealousy rather than fear. He then stabs the beast in the back, though falls to his death just before he's able to finish the job. Almost every Disney animated villain meets their demise through falling to their doom.
Falling to their doom is great for kids movies. 1. No body, just a “clean” solved problem that they can even make partially the villains fault. 2. Great symbolism potential. A literally fall from grace. 3. So much easier to animate.
Hubris. That's what happens when you let pride dictate your actions. He was so sure that all he needed was to be the one "with the most power" in order to rule everything that he just kept letting himself grow and grow in power. He thought he could do no wrong and it ended up costing himself. He grew so over confident that he ended up enslaving himself to power. It's an "ironic twist of fate" kind of thing.
Although I’m mad at scar for blaming Simba for thinking, it was his fault that he killed Mufasa. I gotta give the hyenas credit for being smart for not falling for scars tricks after they heard him say that it was their fault and not his when Simba didn’t believe him anymore as well that was a pretty amazing thing that they did in the best way sometimes antagonist try to trick the protagonist main character, but they don’t fall for their tricks and they get older and I love the feeling that they get when they don’t do that
To be fair in the case of Jafar Aladdin knew about the cruse of the genie when Genie told him about it so 'After Jafar turns into a Python' Aladdin told Jafar that Genie is more powerful than him 'without Genie knowing Aladdin's plan mind you' so Jafar got what he wanted he wanted to be a genie and he did so, But at a terrible cost being a slave to whoever releases him, And then in Return of Jafar when his lamp got pushed into the lava when it melts Jafar dies along with it.
In The Little Mermaid, Ursula doomed herself by rising to the surface. King Triton tried to warn Ariel against consorting with humans--in fact, he enforced it upon her and all who lived in the ocean--and Ursula learned this lesson the hard way. As Ursula is about to use her newfound trident power to kill Ariel, Prince Eric drives the sharp end of his boat right through her back, and she disappears never to be seen again.
im pushing back on the syndrome one-trying to kidnap jack jack was a massive mistake because nothing motivates a parent to save their kid from imminent danger than paternal instinct, oh and also because jack-jack is a baby.
I can think of a few other dumb decisions done by Disney Villains: .Guarding Tinker Bell- Peter Pan .Animal Murder- The Aristocats .Being Fooled by Fortune Teller Disguises- Robin Hood .Impersonating a Human- The Little Mermaid (or murder Ariel before Eric) .Checking the Prisoner Pod- Lilo and Stitch .Permanently deleting Vanellope’s Code- Wreck it Ralph
Impersonating a human wasn't really a dumb decision. Growing big and putting herself in a position to get stabbed was. What would even stop her if she didn't take the ships out of the sea? Vanellope's Code wasn't deleted but it was messed up.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure the villain in Wreck it Ralph could delete Vanellope's code even if he wanted to. And before anybody says otherwise, it's possible on the outside but it might not be possible from the inside.
Edgar was simply an idiot. The woman was leaving her whole fortune to her cats. Translation: Someone else was still required to take care of the cats because they can’t spend money.
One of Disney's recognized villains Dr Phillium Benedict from Recess School's Out makes a rather dumb decision to carry out his plot to end Recess and summer vacation in the third street elementary school rather than moving his operation to a more appropriate and successful location like a secret laboratory or facility. Which is how the heroes got the best of him.
I understand why it's not in here, but Disney's Robin Hood is one of my favourites with a villain who makes mistakes because well, Prince John just makes them hilariously all the time.
Uh, if Scar kill Simba as a cub, the pride would find out that he murdered Mufasa which would ruin his plan which is why he has the hyenas to do the job so that no one would suspect.
A dumb decision for Jafar was not wishing he was a genie, but the fact he needed the lamp when he clearly could have succeeded by mind controlling people with his staff the whole time
@@iAmSaVvY87 Not how genies work. Usually it goes that you come pre-equipped with your vessel as a genie, be it lamp, bottles, or even stones in some cases. No genie is born "free". That's the whole point. You might be granted phenomenal cosmic power, but you have to serve OTHERS first in order to gain wisdom and humility before you can use it wisely in freedom. Otherwise, trust me, any old schmuck granted that kind of crazy power would just go nuts and rule over the cosmos itself.
Hades "mistake" is explained in the animated series: he can't get his hands "dirty" as all the Olympus could come after him, that's why he does it until he invades Olympus, the problem is that he didn't got competent minions. Gaston's mistake: not running from the castle when given opportunity, he could have planned something later, but no, stab the beast when your fingers are wet because of the rain and you're using gloves. The beast could've hit him accidentally and down he goes anyway. Gothel: even if she changed the birthday, Rapunzel would be curious of the lamps, I don't know why she didn't explain the lamps in some way.

2:43 Did he plan that? I think he was just lucky. 7:33 Wouldn't Hades know if Herc died? He's supposed to be the lord of the Underworld. There's also continuity errors in the TV show (which is mostly a prequel) since Hades apparently knows that Herc is still alive. I'm about to rearrange the cosmos, AND THE ONE SCHMEEL WHO CAN MESS IT UP IS WALTZING AROUND IN THE WORLD! 9:52 Pause at that moment.
Why didn't Hans have Elsa killed when everyone thought she was evil and he had an armed group of soldiers with him? She was distracted, she was apparently not aware that they were there, and he would have had a perfectly justified reason for taking her out in the eyes of the population. Instead he tried to talk her down only to try to kill her again a short time later. Makes no sense.
He needed to appear sympathetic to everyone until he was ready to take out Anna as well, as at the time, he wasn't aware that Anna was dying. It wouldn't do him any good if Anna dumped him for leading an armed mob that wound up killing her misunderstood sister.

Surprised you didn't add how Jafar wishing himself into becoming a Genie was also the reason for his downfall in the sequel, since, while bound to his lamp, its destruction meant his literal end. Genie is safe from that thanks to Aladdin freeing him, but since there was no trust between Jafar and his master, he wasn't freed, so still had that literally fatal weakness
No, Jafar is too narcissistic to go there, and you power-hungry for that matter. You see, Aladdin summons, genie, voiced by the incomparable Robin Williams, I will the first thing he asks is what you wish for? There’s a lot of things he would loved to wish for, but he cares, maybe an absolute idiot, a chunk of that beautiful movie, but he cares. Jafar literally could not have care less, and I haven’t seen the sequel, so I couldn’t tell you about his eventual master, but I have a feeling that most people summon a lamp three wishes and don’t really care what the magical being thinks of it.
@@HannahSiemer Well, Jafar was being a jacka** genie. His master wished for a legendary sunken treasure, and Jafar teleported him to the sunken wreck, forcing him to use his second wish to return to the desert. Jafar then threatened and manipulated him into following his scheme (plus, Aladdin was a mutual enemy to both of them). However, the guy was just a little too smart (or not quite dumb enough) to wish Jafar free.
To be fair, having your lamp be your sole weakness is generally safer than being a normal human who is a lot easier to kill. I think Jafar's biggest mistakes in the sequel were not letting Aladdin die when he first had the chance and trusting Iago after the parrot already betrayed him once.
@Compucles the funny thing there is, Jafar had no choice in sparing Aladdin that time. Remember, the number 1 rule genies are bound to is they aren't allowed to kill anyone. So, since Jafar was the reason Aladdin fell off that waterfall to what would have been a fatal fall, by the rules of the Genie, he was compelled to not let Aladdin die. He was in denial though, not understanding it was the rules of the Genie stopping him and that, so long as he was involved in any attempt to end Aladdin's life directly, he would be bound by the laws of the Genie NOT to kill Aladdin. It almost makes you pity him, watching as he tries over and over throughout the movie to end Aladdin's life, unaware that, because he's a Genie, he CAN'T. Now, if he'd gotten himself freed BEFORE attempting to kill Aladdin, he could've done it. But, Jafar, ever arrogant and impatient, didn't realise this, so tried to get to the Kill Aladdin part of the plan first, not realising it NEEDED to come later, not sooner. Had he stopped to think about it, he'd have given his master (don't know how to spell the name, so not gonna try and fail) good options for their first 2 wishes, then forced him to free him immediately after that and THEN gone after Aladdin, with only whatever new restrictions Genie had on him after being freed that gave Jafar the advantage power scale wise while NOT free. He just didn't learn his lesson from the first movie 😆
Having stupid sidekicks like the falcons from Valiant, not listening to good people like in Dinosaur 2002 and Atlantis: the lost empire, abusing a stepchild like Cinderella, and not keeping a oath like the little mermaid
There are 3 Disney Villains that failed to kill. Scar, Hades, and the Baroness. Why? Going above and beyond to kill a infant but miserably failed for asking the wrong person and not doing it yourself. Simba, Hercules and Cruella grew up and got revenge
In Scar's defense, the Hyenas WOULD've succeeded in killing Simba by just chasing him out of the Pride Lands and letting the desert and the harsh sun do the rest. it wasn't the Hyenas' fault that Timon and Pumbaa rescued Simba in the nick of time and took him in because they could.

@@盧璘壽로인수 Having a roommate of the same gender doesn't make you gay.

I wholeheartedly agree with you there, they are possibly the sole reasons why I am very skeptical of just about anything I am told, I mean, I was taught don’t believe everything you hear is a kid. But, scar and Ursula heavily reinforced it, although I could rewatch the entirety of lion King over and over, can’t with Little mermaid, the warning flags, just prop up, pop up to boldly for me to ignore them, there’s so much more complex with scar.
Jafar actually made a few mistakes. One he told Jasmine Aladdin was executed when he was still in the dungeon. He could’ve just told that he would personally see to it that he was let go. What would he have done if one of the guards noticed Aladdin was missing from the prison and told him in front of the royal family. Two, on that last one, he could’ve gotten Aladdin to help him get the lamp as himself and then actually give him a reward for helping him instead of backstabbing him.
I thought about that second one. The problem there is Aladdin was a known thief and troublemaker. If Jafar did make a deal and kept his word, then what's to stop Aladdin from stealing the lamp back afterwards?
@@pirateraider1708 I doubt Aladdin would’ve done that, he at first didn’t see anything special about the lamp and he only stole what he needed to survive like food.
@@chuumon95 True, but Jafar didn't know that. All he really knew about about Aladdin was that he was a troublesome thief, not unlike those who would betray & murder for a handful of coins, or some new clothes.
It wasn't just standing on a gargoyle that doomed Claude Frollo; it was standing on *_that particular gargoyle_* that did the trick! If you're paying attention just a moment or two sooner, when Quasimodo's carrying Esmeralda and swinging from gargoyle to gargoyle to elude Frollo's attacks, Frollo swings down with his longsword, misses Quasimodo's foot by inches and chops pretty deeply into that gargoyle, weakening its strength and integrity. Frollo snags Quasimodo with his cape, they almost fall, Esmeralda's struggling to pull Quasi back up and Frollo climbs up onto the gargoyle that _he just damaged_ with his sword. We even get a brief shot of the sword chop before it splits and the gargoyle breaks off the edifice and falls, bearing Frollo to his doom! So one more to be filed under "Hoist with his own petard," I'd say. 😏
I know Monsters at Work is technically Monsters Inc. 2, but SPOILERS!!! . . . . . . . . Johnny Worthington, with the help of Randall, combining his scares and MI's stolen laugh energy that almost turned Monstropolis into the next Chernobyl is definitely the worst mistake.

Jafar: My next brilliant plan after becoming a genie is to make enemies out of my wise-cracking parrot, Iago. I just loved how Jason Alexander’s character Abis Mal was a less-than-subtle pun abysmal. But he like da hat!
Number one : not telling everyone about important information or using a really important device and having the movie end quicker (Seriously that trope is so stupid it became a meme on the Schaffrillas Productions channel)
Would have been a much better use of a wish that would even have long term consequences, plus (from what I remember) in the movie it is established that there are higher beings then genies (even if it's mostly unexplained) which means it was still better to use the wish to become a deity or some other type of higher being
Doubt it would have worked. Powerful as he is, Genie's power _does_ have limits, considering how he can't do things like force someone to fall in love. So Genie likely couldn't do anything more than turn Jafar into a Genie like himself.
@@gamester512 genie's have godlike power over reality. higher beings exist within the movie, there is no reason a genie couldn't create a god (even if it was basically just a genie without there limitations)
AND let's not forget about what happened to Jafar in the 2nd movie of Aladdin. Towards the end, the lamp gets thrown into a volcano by his sidekick, Iago, destroying Jafar completely in the process.
True Simba did survive because Scar trusted the hyenas, but it wasn't his trust in them that was his ultimate downfall, it was his betrayal. When Simba had him cornered he tried to shift the blame to them, but after he lost his battle with Simba he survived, injured but alive. When he saw the hyenas approaching he was relieved for a moment that his "friends" found him But then Shinzi reminded him that "they were the enemy." Trust wasn't his undoing, it was betrayal.

I'm sorry, I think u missed 1; Lord Barkis from Corpse Bride. He came to the wedding rehearsal to try and weasel his way into marrying Victoria instead. He was staying at the Everglot manor and was with her parents all day, and he never found out that they were broke!? Even if they never told him to his face, we saw him eavesdropping on them once or twice. It just astounds me how surprised he was when he found out after he married Victoria and how mad he was. Then there was the last scene, after losing his sword/fork fight with Victor, he decided to leave with his head held high because none of their dead friends could do anything to him, but he stops to throw one final insult at Emily and gloat that he's gonna get away, and he drinks the poison wine! I know there's no way he could have known that it was poison but still. He's gonna just drink something he just randomly picks up while surrounded by dead people who hate him? It's pretty foolhardy. He's got to be one of the dumbest Disney villains of all time!

I think the worst decision Scar made was not to kill Simba himself right after he killed Mufasa, which he could have easily done, and it is what a real lion would have done.
In defense of the hyenas, they genuinely thought of Scar as one of them, until he himself betrayed their trust by pinning the blame on them right as they were working hard trying to help him.
Jafar definitely did not learn either. He could have convinced Abis Mal to think carefully about his wishes and been a bit more cunning about him freeing Jafar with his third one but instead he robbed the theif of his first two and expected him to free him with his precious last one. Then despite it being clear that his lamp was in danger he opened up a volcano and doomed himself.
Gaston In Beauty & The Beast has his plans to kill the beast backfires when the beast pushes Gaston to his death and i knew Jafar wishing to be genie was gonna be #1 and R.I.P. Robbin Williams
I'm pushing back on your #3 - Scar's mistake was turning on the hyenas. They may not be the smartest group of animals in the Serengeti, but they knew enough. I can't help but think of Shenzi's line in "Be Prepared" when she asks "and where do *we* feature?" She knows this all sounds good, but what's in it for the hyena clan? Then when Simba defeats him, the hyenas are quick to call on his turning on them to save his own skin. Turning on your own army is a pretty dumb move.
I agree
Regardless of how the story is written, any villain can try to be smart… but one wrong move can turn them into a complete idiot, and cause their demise.
and it wasn't the Hyena Trio's fault that they failed to kill Simba, they were reluctant to chase him through a bramble thicket and even agreed that they didn't HAVE to keep chasing him since they knew a lion cub wouldn't get very far in a wide open desert, they just didn't count on Timon and Pumbaa showing up.
Shenzi is also the one who calls out Scar to fulfill his end of the deal and he just nonchalantly says "Oh kill Zazu" so Shenzi was already getting really fed up with him. the Insult at the end was the signal that Scar was never going to fulfill his promise and they used that to justify killing him in the end. Then according to Kingdom hearts, they just go back to the mammoth graveyard and feed on scraps and just stay away from the Pridelands.

Hades definitely has not heard of the phrase “ If you want something done right do it yourself “
To be fair Scar made the hyenas go after Simba which was a bad idea too.
He couldn't actually do the job himself, as he'd probably have been recognized quickly. He's not exactly unknown on Olympus, just unwanted.
I guess not.
Well to be honest what do you expect he can't move around and do it himself. Because if he did there will be a trace of evidence against him so it's better to have dim-witted henchmen to do it though dumb as it is he probably didn't have a choice.
@CodyG2bFontenot that was insurance, he knew if Hercules lived he would overthrow him... but that's the problem with the Fates in Greek mythology, you can't avoid your destiny.
I’m surprised Ursula wasn’t added onto the list. Incase anyone has forgotten that soon as she had the triton and made herself a giant she brought all the sunken ships above which allowed Eric to steer one right through her and she ends up dying from that. I consider that a grave mistake on her part
I agree.
She didn't know about the ships. She was too busy plotting against Triton.

Here's a lesson for the villains.
Jafar = Careful what you wish for.
Scar = Don't Throw your friends under the bus.
Also, don't force a literal militia you conscript to do your dirty work for free (after 26 years, I can finally hear that "Quid-Pro-Quo" part in the song).
Gaston = Firm Footing First
Frollo = don't tempt god
Also Jafar could have easily circumvented his fate by wishing to be a all-powerfull FREE Genie. Seriously add a single damn word to your wish and you're home free.
@@timbo3286 I have a feeling that wouldn't have worked. Your master has to be the one to free you. So you have to be a genie in servitude and hope that you have a master like Aladdin to free you.

19:28 - 19:32
Agreed.
Failed to mention that in the sequel, as Jafar was still tied to the lamp and it was what led to his demise.
(17:35) That’s a really good reason why these superheroes these days shouldn’t wear capes.
@@GabrielMicheal77710 Or trench coats?
They're not all Superman.
To be fair, some heroes can make practical uses of their capes for things like improvised gliders and parachutes. Darkwing Duck was really good at that.
Nah its a stupid reason for a villain to lose. Really dumb.
No, Scar’s mistake was blaming the hyenas without thinking they might be listening in.
Not to mention willingly admitting to Simba that he killed Mufasa when he could've just remained silent
If you count his origin story in the Lion Guard he’s even dumber. He had a God roar that could cause tornadoes, hurricanes and destroy mountains. And he didn’t kill Mufasa with it, only his royal guard.
@@Bman32x in what

No offense, but this "no capes" scene make no sense. In all of shown cases (including Sindrom death), capes either make no difference (turbine, tornado), or couldn't realistically behave like that
Ratcliffe doomed himself the moment he shot John, but how he was spared in the sequel was beyond BS
It's pretty easy to explain, if not distasteful. Ratcliffe must have had connections in England and could've used those to either avoid trial altogether or arrange for a sympathetic judge (or one he could pay off) to preside over his trial.
Well remember, he was very manipulative and the king basically believed just about everything he said until the very end of the second movie. So it's very possible that he lied to the king spinning a story that spared him any punishment for the time being
@@AmyBlackRoseCena Exactly!
That's the trouble with a lot of these particular Disney villains, They all had habits of either not completely thinking their plans through, Not considering how their plans could backfire, And they always underestimate the heroes.
Not to mention their underlings and treating them bad. It doesn’t pay to be mean especially to the people who work for you. Fear does not make true loyalty. Once you lose all that power, they have no reason to fear and listen to you anymore. It’s all about how you treat people.
Exactly. Treat others the way you want to be treated

In the 1991 animated version of Beauty and the Beast, Gaston shoots the beast in the back after breaking into his castle and then throws him through a window and off a balcony. As he stands over his victim ready to strike the finishing blow, he mocks the beast for being "too kind and gentle to fight back," making it crystal clear to viewers that his actions are driven entirely by jealousy rather than fear. He then stabs the beast in the back, though falls to his death just before he's able to finish the job.
Almost every Disney animated villain meets their demise through falling to their doom.
Falling to their doom is great for kids movies. 1. No body, just a “clean” solved problem that they can even make partially the villains fault. 2. Great symbolism potential. A literally fall from grace. 3. So much easier to animate.

He thought he could do no wrong and it ended up costing himself. He grew so over confident that he ended up enslaving himself to power.
It's an "ironic twist of fate" kind of thing.
And in the sequel it became his demise because his fate then was connected to the lamp.
When it comes to number one there is shooting yourself in the foot and then theirs blowing your legs off with a shotgun
Royally Screwed Himself
Although I’m mad at scar for blaming Simba for thinking, it was his fault that he killed Mufasa. I gotta give the hyenas credit for being smart for not falling for scars tricks after they heard him say that it was their fault and not his when Simba didn’t believe him anymore as well that was a pretty amazing thing that they did in the best way sometimes antagonist try to trick the protagonist main character, but they don’t fall for their tricks and they get older and I love the feeling that they get when they don’t do that
To be fair in the case of Jafar Aladdin knew about the cruse of the genie when Genie told him about it so 'After Jafar turns into a Python' Aladdin told Jafar that Genie is more powerful than him 'without Genie knowing Aladdin's plan mind you' so Jafar got what he wanted he wanted to be a genie and he did so, But at a terrible cost being a slave to whoever releases him, And then in Return of Jafar when his lamp got pushed into the lava when it melts Jafar dies along with it.
Also I'm thinking Java has no clue about the whole enslavment in lamp thing, that's only Ginnie to Aladin

im pushing back on the syndrome one-trying to kidnap jack jack was a massive mistake because nothing motivates a parent to save their kid from imminent danger than paternal instinct, oh and also because jack-jack is a baby.
With powers of his own
I can think of a few other dumb decisions done by Disney Villains:
.Guarding Tinker Bell- Peter Pan
.Animal Murder- The Aristocats
.Being Fooled by Fortune Teller Disguises- Robin Hood
.Impersonating a Human- The Little Mermaid (or murder Ariel before Eric)
.Checking the Prisoner Pod- Lilo and Stitch
.Permanently deleting Vanellope’s Code- Wreck it Ralph
Impersonating a human wasn't really a dumb decision. Growing big and putting herself in a position to get stabbed was. What would even stop her if she didn't take the ships out of the sea?
Vanellope's Code wasn't deleted but it was messed up.
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure the villain in Wreck it Ralph could delete Vanellope's code even if he wanted to. And before anybody says otherwise, it's possible on the outside but it might not be possible from the inside.

Loyalty to a BAD ruler (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion Guard)
I understand why it's not in here, but Disney's Robin Hood is one of my favourites with a villain who makes mistakes because well, Prince John just makes them hilariously all the time.
Throw in the fact that he was voiced by the late Peter Ustinov for the hilarity factor.
I guess they couldn't narrow it down to a single mistake for him.
2:21 It's like the boy who cried wolf, you think it's a trick, but it's actually the real deal.
Uh, if Scar kill Simba as a cub, the pride would find out that he murdered Mufasa which would ruin his plan which is why he has the hyenas to do the job so that no one would suspect.
IF they found out. IF is good!!
He could've just blamed it on the stampede like he did and fed Simba's body to the hyenas.
A dumb decision for Jafar was not wishing he was a genie, but the fact he needed the lamp when he clearly could have succeeded by mind controlling people with his staff the whole time
EXACTLY. He wanted power but he already did
Jafar was blinded by pride so yeah
Or... He could have simply wished to be a free genie... Lol

Otherwise, trust me, any old schmuck granted that kind of crazy power would just go nuts and rule over the cosmos itself.

9:52 Pause at that moment.
As a kid, I knew Hades made a huge mistake relying on Pain and Panic handling Hercules
A lot of these villains are actually pretty smart so I'm surprised they didn't know better
Why didn't Hans have Elsa killed when everyone thought she was evil and he had an armed group of soldiers with him? She was distracted, she was apparently not aware that they were there, and he would have had a perfectly justified reason for taking her out in the eyes of the population. Instead he tried to talk her down only to try to kill her again a short time later. Makes no sense.
He needed to appear sympathetic to everyone until he was ready to take out Anna as well, as at the time, he wasn't aware that Anna was dying. It wouldn't do him any good if Anna dumped him for leading an armed mob that wound up killing her misunderstood sister.

Discord VS Bill Cipher! Who's the Most Popular Chaotic?
Surprised you didn't add how Jafar wishing himself into becoming a Genie was also the reason for his downfall in the sequel, since, while bound to his lamp, its destruction meant his literal end.
Genie is safe from that thanks to Aladdin freeing him, but since there was no trust between Jafar and his master, he wasn't freed, so still had that literally fatal weakness
No, Jafar is too narcissistic to go there, and you power-hungry for that matter. You see, Aladdin summons, genie, voiced by the incomparable Robin Williams, I will the first thing he asks is what you wish for? There’s a lot of things he would loved to wish for, but he cares, maybe an absolute idiot, a chunk of that beautiful movie, but he cares. Jafar literally could not have care less, and I haven’t seen the sequel, so I couldn’t tell you about his eventual master, but I have a feeling that most people summon a lamp three wishes and don’t really care what the magical being thinks of it.
@@HannahSiemer Well, Jafar was being a jacka** genie. His master wished for a legendary sunken treasure, and Jafar teleported him to the sunken wreck, forcing him to use his second wish to return to the desert. Jafar then threatened and manipulated him into following his scheme (plus, Aladdin was a mutual enemy to both of them). However, the guy was just a little too smart (or not quite dumb enough) to wish Jafar free.
To be fair, having your lamp be your sole weakness is generally safer than being a normal human who is a lot easier to kill.
I think Jafar's biggest mistakes in the sequel were not letting Aladdin die when he first had the chance and trusting Iago after the parrot already betrayed him once.
@Compucles the funny thing there is, Jafar had no choice in sparing Aladdin that time.
Remember, the number 1 rule genies are bound to is they aren't allowed to kill anyone.
So, since Jafar was the reason Aladdin fell off that waterfall to what would have been a fatal fall, by the rules of the Genie, he was compelled to not let Aladdin die.
He was in denial though, not understanding it was the rules of the Genie stopping him and that, so long as he was involved in any attempt to end Aladdin's life directly, he would be bound by the laws of the Genie NOT to kill Aladdin.
It almost makes you pity him, watching as he tries over and over throughout the movie to end Aladdin's life, unaware that, because he's a Genie, he CAN'T.
Now, if he'd gotten himself freed BEFORE attempting to kill Aladdin, he could've done it.
But, Jafar, ever arrogant and impatient, didn't realise this, so tried to get to the Kill Aladdin part of the plan first, not realising it NEEDED to come later, not sooner.
Had he stopped to think about it, he'd have given his master (don't know how to spell the name, so not gonna try and fail) good options for their first 2 wishes, then forced him to free him immediately after that and THEN gone after Aladdin, with only whatever new restrictions Genie had on him after being freed that gave Jafar the advantage power scale wise while NOT free.
He just didn't learn his lesson from the first movie 😆

I wholeheartedly agree with you there, they are possibly the sole reasons why I am very skeptical of just about anything I am told, I mean, I was taught don’t believe everything you hear is a kid. But, scar and Ursula heavily reinforced it, although I could rewatch the entirety of lion King over and over, can’t with Little mermaid, the warning flags, just prop up, pop up to boldly for me to ignore them, there’s so much more complex with scar.
Jafar actually made a few mistakes. One he told Jasmine Aladdin was executed when he was still in the dungeon. He could’ve just told that he would personally see to it that he was let go. What would he have done if one of the guards noticed Aladdin was missing from the prison and told him in front of the royal family. Two, on that last one, he could’ve gotten Aladdin to help him get the lamp as himself and then actually give him a reward for helping him instead of backstabbing him.
I thought about that second one. The problem there is Aladdin was a known thief and troublemaker. If Jafar did make a deal and kept his word, then what's to stop Aladdin from stealing the lamp back afterwards?
@@pirateraider1708
I doubt Aladdin would’ve done that, he at first didn’t see anything special about the lamp and he only stole what he needed to survive like food.
@@chuumon95 True, but Jafar didn't know that. All he really knew about about Aladdin was that he was a troublesome thief, not unlike those who would betray & murder for a handful of coins, or some new clothes.

I think that the dumbest decision King Magnifico made was not throwing Asha off of the top of the castle when the wishes are free.
It wasn't just standing on a gargoyle that doomed Claude Frollo; it was standing on *_that particular gargoyle_* that did the trick! If you're paying attention just a moment or two sooner, when Quasimodo's carrying Esmeralda and swinging from gargoyle to gargoyle to elude Frollo's attacks, Frollo swings down with his longsword, misses Quasimodo's foot by inches and chops pretty deeply into that gargoyle, weakening its strength and integrity. Frollo snags Quasimodo with his cape, they almost fall, Esmeralda's struggling to pull Quasi back up and Frollo climbs up onto the gargoyle that _he just damaged_ with his sword. We even get a brief shot of the sword chop before it splits and the gargoyle breaks off the edifice and falls, bearing Frollo to his doom!
So one more to be filed under "Hoist with his own petard," I'd say. 😏
Mal and the other VKs opening the barrier impulsively without a plat, setting all the phsycos and assassins free, was pretty stupid.

Would have been a much better use of a wish that would even have long term consequences, plus (from what I remember) in the movie it is established that there are higher beings then genies (even if it's mostly unexplained) which means it was still better to use the wish to become a deity or some other type of higher being
@@christianwhite8877 Exactly.
Doubt it would have worked. Powerful as he is, Genie's power _does_ have limits, considering how he can't do things like force someone to fall in love. So Genie likely couldn't do anything more than turn Jafar into a Genie like himself.
@@gamester512 genie's have godlike power over reality. higher beings exist within the movie, there is no reason a genie couldn't create a god (even if it was basically just a genie without there limitations)
AND let's not forget about what happened to Jafar in the 2nd movie of Aladdin. Towards the end, the lamp gets thrown into a volcano by his sidekick, Iago, destroying Jafar completely in the process.
True Simba did survive because Scar trusted the hyenas, but it wasn't his trust in them that was his ultimate downfall, it was his betrayal. When Simba had him cornered he tried to shift the blame to them, but after he lost his battle with Simba he survived, injured but alive.
When he saw the hyenas approaching he was relieved for a moment that his "friends" found him But then Shinzi reminded him that "they were the enemy." Trust wasn't his undoing, it was betrayal.
I loved Disney from 1990 to 1999!!!!!!!!
The biggest bad decision Disney villains make is being a villain. All they had to do was not be a villain, and everything would've been a lot better.
I have a list of Top 10 Disney Channel villains who died/ were defeated of their own cause.
1: Bill Cipher (Gravity Falls): Not knowing that Stan and Ford switch places.
2: Emperor Belos (The Owl House): Getting carried away with too much power.
3: The Core (Amphibia): Doubting King Andrias.
4: Chip Whistler (Big City Greens): Unaware that the city is on the Green's family side.
5: Jinx (The Ghost and Molly Mcgee): Carried away with her ego
6: Lord Dominator (Wander Over Yonder): Doubting Lord Hater.
7: The Dark Dragon (American Dragon Jake Long): Not knowing that Jake would ask a dragon hunter for help.
8: Evil Julian/The Sorcerer (Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja): Getting defeated by unexpected help.
9: Bradford Buzzard (Ducktales 2017's): Not reading carefully on the contract.
10: Mina Loveberry (Star vs. The Forces of Evil): Foolish decisions.
@@ciscojacobo7168 Nice.
I always thought it was weird that Mother Gotgel didn’t change Rapunzel’s birthday
Disney Brutes vs Karma
Villains 0, Karma 20
Dr Facilier: It's a shame that Disney couldn't use the name Baron Samedi, since Dr Facilier is a Ctrl C Ctrl V of him.
It would have been awesome if Dr Facilier did a rap instead of singing
Good point
King Magnifico from WISH. When he chose to embrace the dark magic from the dark book of spells which ultimately caused him to get sucked into his staff forever
Should've learned from Facilier's mistake and not messed around with dark magic

Technically, mr waternose wasn't bragging, but didn't know he was recorded
When I first saw the film years ago, I realized, Edna was right! Having a cape leaves you open to getting choked to death!
Interesting list. Villains can be dumb sometimes.
Msmojo, could you do a list for the best Pop Versions of Disney Movie Songs?
I'm sorry, I think u missed 1; Lord Barkis from Corpse Bride.
He came to the wedding rehearsal to try and weasel his way into marrying Victoria instead. He was staying at the Everglot manor and was with her parents all day, and he never found out that they were broke!? Even if they never told him to his face, we saw him eavesdropping on them once or twice. It just astounds me how surprised he was when he found out after he married Victoria and how mad he was.
Then there was the last scene, after losing his sword/fork fight with Victor, he decided to leave with his head held high because none of their dead friends could do anything to him, but he stops to throw one final insult at Emily and gloat that he's gonna get away, and he drinks the poison wine! I know there's no way he could have known that it was poison but still. He's gonna just drink something he just randomly picks up while surrounded by dead people who hate him? It's pretty foolhardy.
He's got to be one of the dumbest Disney villains of all time!
Corpse Bride wasn't made by Disney.
That's WB
Amazing video ms mojo of Disney villains with the worst decisions ever in there animated movies,fantastic job. I love Pocahontas.
15:13 oh i see what you did there, clever use of words
1. Tangled
2. The Little Mermaid
3. Frozen
4. Hercules
5. Tarzan
6. Toy Story 2
7. Sleeping Beauty
8. Beauty and The Beast
9. Snow White and The 7 Dwafs
10. The Lion King
11. The Emperor's New Grove
12. Aladdin
13. Up
14. Coco
15. The Princess and The Frog
Another: Tie Mater on the Big Bentley’s gears (Cars 2)
If Sir Axlerod and Professor Z planned to hide a bomb on Mater’s air filter as a backup plan, it was necessary to tie him on Big Bentley’s gears???
Tie Finn and Holley is understandable, because they were the only ones that could help Mater, but if Mater die crashed by the gears and the camera didn’t work (because McQueen wasn’t using Allinol) the whole “Murder McQueen” plan would be ruined.
I think the worst decision Scar made was not to kill Simba himself right after he killed Mufasa, which he could have easily done, and it is what a real lion would have done.
It is a toss up between Ursula ignoring Prince Eric, Scar to rely on the hyenas, or jafar’s wish to be a Jeanie
Definitely worst decisions!
In defense of the hyenas, they genuinely thought of Scar as one of them, until he himself betrayed their trust by pinning the blame on them right as they were working hard trying to help him.
7:25 Well, Hades couldn't just waltz over and kill Hercules. He needed someone who could do it without getting caught.
Jafar definitely did not learn either. He could have convinced Abis Mal to think carefully about his wishes and been a bit more cunning about him freeing Jafar with his third one but instead he robbed the theif of his first two and expected him to free him with his precious last one.
Then despite it being clear that his lamp was in danger he opened up a volcano and doomed himself.
Gaston In Beauty & The Beast has his plans to kill the beast backfires when the beast pushes Gaston to his death and i knew Jafar wishing to be genie was gonna be #1 and R.I.P. Robbin Williams
I'm going to miss Robin Williams's performance as Genie from Aladdin
R.I.P. Robin Williams we're sure going to miss you
So is Edna saying that she didn't design the outfits for those who wear capes?
There’s a theory that Edna was strong armed into making Syndrome’s costume and added the cape on purpose to aid his downfall/demise.
Edna:”Exactly, Dahling.”
17:11 And he does not allow them to mention his rightful brother Mufasa in front of him which they actually do.
