If you were a Disney villain, how would YOU alter any of these failed plots? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 20 Worst Things Done by Disney Villains - th-cam.com/video/krmOD76R7Eo/w-d-xo.html
You missed one. In Lion King 2 Simba's pride, although Zira's actual plan came with an inherent risk--because Kovu, her personally trained assassin stepson--falls in love with his intended hostage, due to Kiara being a childhood friend of his--it was her backup plan that was really counterproductive. She ambushed Simba while he was accompanied by Kovu, fully aware he was probably intent on abandoning his mission. Who's to say Simba would even be alive had Kovu not gone with him to inspect the destruction from a recent wildfire? (Which incidentally was started by Kovu's siblings.)
Um, if I were to alter the Evil Queen's plot, I would simply send Snow White as a bride to either a prince or a king 3 to 4 kingdoms over; basically far, far, away.
I respectfully choose to disagree of you guys having Ursula's plan on your list. It was timed and executed perfectly, plus she was able to sneak her way to victory to avoid any hiccups!
But that is the exact reason why her plan failed, she underestimated Eric and Ariel's love. She could have tricked Ariel about helping her get close to Eric without actually doing it.
I agree Ursula was a great villain. What she did to try to take advantage of Ariel is awesome. Especially taking Ariel’s voice but Ariel gets Prince Eric anyway
Yeah, Edgar's plan was pretty poorly thought out. I mean, they're cats. It's not like they can spend the fortune, he could just do that with no one to stop him. He didn't need to get rid of them. He really wasn't thinking.
That's precisely why he's one of dumbest and stupidest Disney villains but yet the fact that he's a comic relief though he's the main villain I guess it made up for that.
Scar, Ursula and Jafar actually had brilliant plans. In fact, Ursula's plan literally worked. She usurped Triton just as planned. The only reason she died is because she failed to notice Eric because she was too fixated on killing Ariel after she made her kill her pets. Jafar's plan worked out too. He became a powerful sorcerer, sultan and even had Jasmine ready to create an heir for him. Becoming a genie was not a part of his plan, he just wished to become one out of sudden paranoia when Aladdin pointed out that he's not all-powerful. Scar's plan worked well too. In fact, his plan was brilliant. He tricked Simba into causing a stampede, knowing the loss of Simba was Mufasa's greatest fear. And he used that fear to create a situation where Mufasa had no time to strategize, which made him an easy prey. In fact, when Simba returned to the Pridelands, Scar was still able to use his trauma against him. The only reason he was defeated is because he got cocky and told Simba the truth.
Simba didn't cause the stampede. The hyenas did. He tricked Simba into survivor's guilt. This bugs me a bit because if Simba had stopped to think about things the moment he learned Scar was in league with the Hyenas, then Scar's attempt to get into his head would have failed magnificently.
@@Pfisiar22 No. Simba did. Scar told him to practice his roar specifically so the echo would frighten the wildebeests. The hyenas just steered them to the gorge.
@@vetarlittorf1807 The dude is right when he said Simba didn’t cause the stampede and it was only the hyenas that were responsible. They made it LOOK like Simba started the stampede with his roar when in actuality, the hyenas chased them down into the gorge. But then again… this is the SAME person who believes Scar wasn’t a tyrant and told someone who liked the 2016 live action remake of The Jungle Book when he/she didn’t that he had no taste.
The only problem with Jafar's plan was that Jafar already had almost absolute power in the kingdom, through his influence over the Sultan, Jasmine's father. But that is the nature of greed- it is never satisfied!
Also like the Cheshire Cat said in both the film and the original Lewis Carroll book, “Everyone is mad here”. Everyone’s mad in Wonderland, so its ruler is no exception.
To be fair, that's kind of the point of Wonderland. The idea was for it to be a dream of Alice's that was very imaginative, but made no sense whatsoever. So if the villain has no plans or motivation, that fits in with everything else.
Ok so the plan is good upto a point 1)get simba in the gorge 2)cause a stampede 3)get mufasa to try rescuing simba (hopefully both get killed ok so mufasa saves simba ,asks scar for help) (Adjusted the plan )scar throw mufasa back in the stampede Mufasa dies all good then the thing that confused me 1)When simba is by mufasa body alone scar still plays the caring uncle when he could have killed simba there and then ( they were alone no witness and scar could have lied to the lionesses) 2) he ordered the hyenas to kill simba instead after giving him the trauma of simba being mufasa killer and didn't check on them
Edgar overlooked a very important detail about the Madame's will - Yes, the cats would be first to inherit their mistress's fortune, but they certainly couldn't handle, use, or spend any of that money for themselves. Ergo, Edgar would have been in control of the fortune with the only stipulation being he would have to take care of the cats for the rest of their lives (not to mention he believed the "9 lives" myth), and once the cats' lives came to an end he would fully have the fortune for himself While he most likely overlooked this detail, there's the possibility he didn't and simply didn't want to have to care for the cats at all, which makes him much more of a greedy dirtbag
Actually, the biggest flaw in Prince John's plan would have been his attempt to hang friar tuck. Arresting a member of the clergy was bad enough, but actually executing him would quite possibly have triggered the Pope to punish England severely. (In the actual history, John was excommunicated and church services were stopped in England for 6 years. This, more than the taxes, is what made him deeply unpopular even among the peasants)
What I think is that Prince John didn't necessarily mean to actually execute Friar Tuck, but he just said he would to capture Robin in a trap. But yeah, arresting a clergyman in the first place would have been bad enough in Medieval times even if that was the Sheriff's doing and not Prince John's. And even a false threat of executing a friar could have gotten him into trouble, which is why Sir Hiss was terrified when he heard about that plan. But that's indeed a nice reference to how the real Prince (later King) John reportedly disrespected the teachings of the church according to some chroniclers. Then he also had a conflict with the pope and was indeed excommunicated, which is really interesting even if the pope later forgave him...
Although, in real life Prince John actually succeeded at, well, succeeding his brother Richard as King of England. He then became such a tyrant that he had to be forced into signing the Magna Carta.
@@Compucles That's true, but all the Robin Hood stories ended with King Richard's triumphant return and Prince John's defeat until just a few decades ago.
That's one of the many things I love about the evil plans of these particular Disney villains, They may think they have it all figured out but in reality their plans are actually not as foolproof as they believe they are.
If you think about it, scar's reign was doomed to have a bloody end, regardless if simba had died or not. Even if he had done the smarter thing and taken care of cub simba himself, the pridelands would still end up as a wasteland. And with no food, the Hyenas would eventually end up turning on scar anyways, once they realised their "infinite meat" was no longer infinite. Scar's true failure was in ever allowing the hyenas back into the pridelands. Mufasa had a damn good reason for banning the hyenas, but Scar lacked the wisdom to understand that reason. Scar's character is a perfect example of how Intelligence and Wisdom are NOT the same.
That’s the point. Ever since she made her appearance in Lewis Carroll’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, she’s been established as insane, or “mad” as the rest of the Wonderland inhabitants.
Correction: Scar DIDN'T know that Simba got away. He specifically ordered his hyenas to kill Simba, and thought he was dead all that time. In reality, of course, the hyenas gave up too soon and lied to him. When he sees that Simba DID, in fact, survive, he shoots the hyenas a look, then ALMOST succeeds in turning the pride against Simba by making it seem like he was responsible for Mufasa's death. The only reason his plan failed was because Scar couldn't help but gloat before he killed Simba, making Simba mad enough to pin him to the ground and make him admit it.
Dishonorable mention; Bellwether from Zootopia. Her plan to make prey the dominant species by seizing the mayordom was (kinda) thwarted by hubris and speciesism.
Monstro was only an animal, so he wouldn't have had a plan or even been a villain at all. It is clear that Ursula knew that Ariel was Triton's weak spot, so she could get him where she wanted through her. Cruella was pretty insane though and wouldn't have thought things through. Gothel probably just thought that her psychological abuse would be enough to make Rapunzel stay in the tower. Jafar desired to be more powerful than anybody else and didn’t want to settle for anything less. Well, it is kind of obvious that Yzma's flea plan only was a joke. Queen Grimhilde was sure that the dwarfs would bury Snow White before Florian could find her. Even if Madame could have worded the will better, Edgar is pathetic in the most unlikable way (I feel a bit sorry for him when those dogs chase him though). Scar had always assumed that the hyenas finished their job and that Simba couldn't be alive (and he would have died if Timon and Pumbaa hadn't found him).
He probably figured that the lamp and the genie were a more permanent method of gaining control of Agrabah. He probably didn't think that the staff control would be permanent enough to do that.
In Yzma's defense, The Emperor's New Groove is clearly a goofy comedy that you're not really supposed to take seriously. Edger is a moron who can't understand that the cats would be aging at the same time, not in shifts, meaning a litter of kittens and their mom might actually be more financially trustworthy heirs. As for the Queen of Hearts, the entire point of Alice in Wonderland is that it's an unpredictable romp through pure maddness, of course the villain wouldn't have a clear motivation. If I was Scar, I'd do two things differently. One, I wouldn't even pretend with Simba, I'd get him right than and there. Second, I'd treat the hyaenas better. Even before Simba's return, you can see that there was unrest among them and they were complaining about the state of things. I feel like their turning on Scar in the climax was less a reaction to being blamed for everything and more the final straw.
Exactly, Scar didn't plan for the future at all. Not to mention the clan of hyenas were a means to an end. There's also the mad king troupe, and the folly of a king without a kingdom, to a lesser extent, to think on.
Well in actuality even if the cats inherited the fortune first, Edgar would still be in control of it. The lady just would've expected Edgar to use the fortune to take care of the cats, And once they die the rest of it would go to Edgar.
@@TheCommenterDragonBut Edgar was too dumb to realize that in addition to thinking cats literally have nine lives and thinking they would all outlive him (he doesn’t seem that old)
While the evil queens plan is a bit..elaborate… she does explain why she’s not afraid of Snow White being revived- literally right after she finds out about true loves kiss. It’s because she assumed (logically) that once she was dead she’d be buried and therefore inaccessible. There was no reason for her to think she’d be kept in a glass coffin
Monstro is just an animal. A very mean animal. Uraula's plan was actually working until Ariel's friends discovered her plan and ruined it. I think the reason why Cruella chose to steal the puppies was because she didn't like being turned down when she offered to pay them and did it out of spite. Also, while she and Anita are old friends, Cruella doesn't like her husband Roger. Probably because of that song he made about her since he doesn't like her either. Gothel. I agree that she should have chosen a different birthday for Rapunzel or moved moved someplace else. Jafar wanted to be all powerful, and that did him in. He got trapped in a lamp after becoming a genie until the direct to video sequel, where he ended up being released. Yzma. Apparently, she doesn't want to do the simple way of killing Kuzco. Evil Queen. Vanity. Goob or Bowler Hat Guy. He let his past ruin his future. He probably has a better future now since Lewis prevented the event that caused him to go down a miserable path. Edgar was an idiot. He could've waited until the cats died of nature causes, and then he would have gotten the money. Captain Hook. Flaws in his plans. Prince John. Greed and other stupid decisions. I think the reason why Scar didn't do away with Simba himself and had the hyenas do it because he would have had Simba's blood on his hands or paws. Perhaps the lionesses would have smelled it and realized he had killed Simba. Yes, he could have washed the blood away afterwards, but it is possible he could've been spotted by someone. So he figured get others to do the job for him. Unfortunately for Scar, the hyenas failed in their job. The Queen of Hearts. She is just crazy.
Well for Goob, technically he no longer exists given how he woke up on time to catch the ball and the hat was not going to be invented so now his desire for revenge is gone too
In clear contrast, Disney's very smartest, best dressed, and most relatable villain is Don Karnage, who has a pilot's license, targets Disney's '60s cast members, and most importantly, wears pants amid several stupid enemies who don't, just as Megavolt, Steelbeak, and The Beagle boys all do.
The thing about the Red Queen is that even though she has no plan or ambition, she's still a winner because other than Alice nobody opposes her. Where as others like Prince John and Scar inspire rebellion in their subjects due to the way they rule her whims and rage are just accepted. That actually scared me as a kid because everybody just went with whatever she wanted, she had people killed and NOBODY cared. No rebellion. No "Hey kid you wanna join a resistance". Her people backed her.
Wait... Monstro had a bad plan... correction: He had a plan? What do you want to plan, if a peski little boat makes you snease and comes out your mouth. There is no plan and therefor no bad plan. It is even questionable if Monstro was a villain, since he was just an animal, guided by instincts.
Jafar was a great villain,but why did he need the magic lamp if he could just have brainwashed the Saltan into giving the throne to him? Overthinking and power hunger proved his undoing.
10- Monstro is a whale and acts on pure animalistic instinct 9- Ursula did have some hiccups in her plan to gain power of the oceans and seven seas but becoming a giant was her ultimate downfall - if she was compared to another character it be Darth Sidious: overconfidence as a weakness 8- Cruella De Vil here leaving her plan in the hands of the boneheads of Horace and Jasper was a bad idea, and in my opinion she is the number one Disney villain, but for me the best part is at the end after the crash "You idiots! You- you fools! Oh you imbeciles!" "Aw shut up." 😂😂😂 6- Jafar was already in a position to grab power from the sultan with his staff he didn't really need a genie to get more power he was too greedy to see that "It's mine. It's all mine. I... Where is it? No. NOOOoooo" 5- Yzma: only one thing to say: "Pull the lever, Kronk. 🕳️ WRONG LEVER! 3- Edgar I feel sorry for him, overheard how all of his mistress' belongings were being inherited to her cat's and then him is hard thing to hear but cat napping them and sending them to the french countryside and then Timbuktu was a horrible choice 1- Queen of Hearts you would figure would have more compassion than anger and rage, not to mention the pleasure of yelling out "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!"
You should have added Lady Tremaine. If she had helped Cinderella be with the Prince instead of letting her pride get in the way, Cinderella would have forgiven her, because that was the kind of person she was, and Lady Tremaine and her daughters could have cashed in as relatives of the princess.
But the sick bastard got away with it as far as we know (but I really hope that he suffered a terrible fate off screen). So his plan was not a bad one, but an incredibly evil plan that worked much better than it should have.
I swear sometimes you don’t follow through for the sake of convenience. If you continue the Queens scene of reading the book, she makes her logic quite clear. The dwarves would think she’s dead and bury her (alive). Therefore she’d be out of the way, dead in the ground and the fairest IN the land. Her plot failed because “so beautiful, even in death, the dwarves could not find it in their hearts to bury her.” It went awry because of factors beyond her control.
@@dakotahmays1437 true! But I just love Cruella. One of my favorite Disney animated baddies. My mom loves her even more....I've purchased 3 or 4 Cruella figurines for her over the years.
In my opinion, Edgar wasn't thinking big enough in terms of sending the cats someplace further away. I mean hypothetically speaking if it were me I would've sent the cats somewhere even further than Timbuktu, Like China or even the South Pole.
I think Hans should of been on the list because for Hans to succeed he would have needed Anna alive but either way he wouldn’t be able to be king of Arendelle because of blood so if he wanted to be king he could’ve just plotted something to make sure he was next in line for the throne in the southern isles
Dissing Monstro for not having a good villain plan is like dissing my cat for not having a good villain plan. Neither is trying to be a villain in the first place.
The absolute worst Disney villain plan is that of the grandpa, King Runeard, from "Frozen II." (SPOILERS) First of all, he's already dead. He personally killed the leader of the Northuldra while on some kind of diplomatic picnic. This sparked a battle that not only killed the king himself, but apparently all of the soldiers who were in on his secret evil plan. It also almost killed his son and only heir, whom he decided to bring along. Runeard failed to pass his prejudice on to the next generation, as his son married "the enemy." And the rest of his people don't hate the Northuldra, either. His only evil legacy is a dam that just sits there waiting to be destroyed. His own granddaughter destroys it. If only evil people in real life were this incompetent.
My personal opinion about the Evil Queen’s flawed planning is that she could’ve made herself even more “fairer” than Snow White with her magic spells, the same one that she used to turn herself into an old peddler. Did none of her spell books have that solution? Did the Magic Mirror see through Snow White’s pure heart that made her more fairer than the Evil Queen? Or did the Evil Queen just not think it through?
Then again, even if she had a magical spell to make herself more "fairer", the Evil Queen doesn't want competition. Hence why she wanted Snow White out of the picture so she'll have no equals.
Prince Hans should have made this list. He is easily the worst twist movie villain ever (not just from Disney but from any movie). The way he just magically turns evil on a dime made no sense. Until the moment he betrayed Anna he did nothing but good. There were no hints of malice or ulterior motive until he tells Anna, “not only will I not kiss you, but I’m going to leave you here to die and oh I’m going to kill your sister too just for the fun of it and take over your kingdom. Bye!” Yeah nothing led to that, so he sucks! Worst villain ever!
Ursula's plan was literally a smashing success. She took over the trident and took out the king. She only died because she let her ego and the power get to her. Her plan itself was a success.
Jafar, scar and Ursula all executed their plans and pretty much succeed just didnt last long....scar became king, jafar became sultan, and ursula became the ruler of the oceans, all went to extreme lengths to get what they wanted....but its disney.. the villans dont win the end but their plans were pure genius, from killing a brother, to stealing a genie, to using powerful magics. So i highly disagree with thoses
I'm a little surprised that you didn't include King Magnifico from "Wish". He directly TOLD Asha that he had no intention of returning the wishes to their rightful owners. This foolishness led to both Asha summoning Star and his own fall from grace.
This really does show why Disney's fascination with trying to expand their classic villains into three-dimensional characters with dark tragic backstories never works. At the end of the day, they're supervillains who do cartoonishly evil things because that's what they are, cartoons. You don't question why Tom constantly tries to bash Jerry over the head with a hammer because that's what he does. Trying to give a "realistic" or "understandable" explanation for why a character would do something so cartoonishly over the top, NEVER WORKS. Giving Cruella a dead mom backstory to explain why she has a hate boner for Dalmatians doesn't make her a three-dimensional person. It makes your original version look stupid by association.
Well, the backstory in "Maleficent" that explained why Maleficent wanted revenge on Stefan worked for me even if the movie still had other problems. But even though I haven't seen "Cruella", I must agree that it sounds like that backstory doesn’t work since Cruella never actually hated Dalmatians. (Or she didn't before Pongo and his family thwarted her at least.) She was only after their furs because she wanted to make fashionable clothes out of them.
Actually she did acknowledge that Edgar disappeared, But she just assumed that he quit because of the Madame's Will. I mean she literally said "If Edgar had only known about the will, I'm sure he wouldn't have left."
I'm just glad Hades wasn't on this list. He is one of my top 3 fav Disney villains. The other two are Maleficent and Frollo, who also wasn't on this list, which I'm pretty happy about
Well, just hypnotizing the Sultan into granting him power was Jafar's Plan B when he lost the lamp the first time. That plan just happened to have also failed...aside from opening up a new opportunity for Plan A. Wishing to be a genie was a big mistake, though. Although, he almost made it work for him in "The Return of Jafar," but then he got too greedy in trying to concoct the perfect revenge scheme instead of just letting Aladdin die the first time he and Abis Maul got the better of him.
Not really part of the plan though. Aladin simply preyed on his fear of losing power, and Jafar didn't know about the caveat of being a Genie. Otherwise, his plans went through pretty well, even though he had to improvise for a bit of it.
The Evil Queen's was quite evil actually. Sure, the poison apple only made her sleep forever, but her real plan was to make Snow White suffer by being buried alive. It might've worked, if the dwarfs did not make a glass coffin instead of burying her. Should've added Hades to this list, his plan was to turn Hercules mortal and then kill him. But instead of doing it himself, he let his minions do it and they failed. P.S. I'd like to see Maui battle Monstro and collect one of his teeth as a trophy to add to his neckless.
Another stupid thing about Gothel is that she would have put the magic flower in a pot and hidden it in her hiding place so that no one would find it. Instead, she decided to hide it in a fake bush in the same place. When she accidentally burned the fake bush, the king's men discovered the flower.
Monstro is a whale, an animal. He doesn't scheme or plan, he just eats. Now the Coachman, he had a clever and cruel plan that earned him lots of money and he was never actually shown being stopped. He could continue to trick kids into going to Pleasure Island. Yzma and Goob are deliberately ridiculous for the sake of humour.
Both of them are L companies. 100 years of cartooning for this... It feels wasteful and legacy-tarnishing knowing that all their efforts are now down the toilet bowl for the sake of capitalist profit and monopolistic corporatism. It's tragic.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 it’s a shame because they have the ability to do great things. It’s just that they want to make safe movies in order to make a profit.
Jafar's plan actually was successful. Aladdin only beat him by exploiting his greed and power hunger by pointing out that a Genie is far more powerful then a sorcerer.
I think the original plan was the fail; why did he need the diamond in the rough to be ultimate power; when he was all but Sultan. The sultan was buffoon and left it all to Sultan. Heck, apparently the loophole in the law meant he’d marry Jasmine. But yes the genie wish was trickery; he didn’t know the limitations of the all powerful genie
The Evil Queen from Snow White didn't create an antidote to her potion, to turn back into herself. How could she be the fairest in the land while still looking like an old hag?!
Personally, I think you guys should have included Philip Benedict's plan from Recess School's Out. I mean, the guy literally tried to create a permanent global winter just for some higher test scores. I don't know about you, but I think that's going a little too far just to get some higher test scores.
Agreed, although his end goal was also to get himself elected as President, since he rationalized that boosting the United States’ test scores to the top would make him a hero and beloved enough that people would want to elect him. So, there’s an element of power in the mix that he wants as well.
What about Madame Medusa in The Rescuers. She may have been ok with a little girl drowning in an attempt to recover the Devil's Eye, but if Penny drowned it would only delay Medusa's chance of getting the diamond and bring her closer to being caught even if she kidnapped another child and the same thing happened, so no benefits there. She would've been better off doing what would make Penny succeed and get the diamond even with no qualms at drowning a child or anything else so horrible, because Medusa's goal is to get the diamond and she needed someone small enough to do it, so would she rather delay her chance of getting the diamond? It's much more logical for someone who only wants a diamond and is willing to drown a child to instead send the child down there when it's not high tide so they can get the diamond without drowning, which wouldn't have helped Medusa get the diamond and lead to unnecessary delays. And she doesn't exactly have all the resources she needs, so kidnapping another child and doing the whole ruthlessness-over-logic shtick would bring her closer to being caught.
I wouldn't call Monstro a villain. He was just a whale and like a lot of animals, when he sees potential for food, he'll go for it. The reason he went after Pinocchio and Gepetto after they escaped was because he had been sneezing and was riled up that some of his food escaped. There was no reason or plan behind it. He wanted food.
Tbh If I was any of these villains I'll probably have a backup plan since most then don't seem to think it through especially Jafar and Scar but hey we still admire their twisted plans even though their pretty messed up
Jafar did have a backup plan (well, technically Iago's plan): Hypnotize the sultan into arranging for Jasmine to marry him. Aladdin managed to foil that one on his own. Although, in the process of failing at Plan B, Jafar realized he had an opportunity to go back to Plan A...
Here's another one that's more recent: King Magnifico showing Asha where he keeps the people's wishes. He didn't even officially hire her as his apprentice yet!
For me syndromes plan is idiotic and full of holes for 2 reasons 1. His revenge scheme is all bc Mr incredible rejects him and he couldn't take it like a damn man and accept the hero life isn't for him. 2. His plot for world domination is to be seen as a hero and sell him s product to everyone so they can be supers. Also what doesn't make sense is that he is pushing his buttons to dislocate the omnibots arm right in front of the audience so how doesn't anyone see he's pulling the strings
Tbf, I think the evil queen thinking that snow white would not be kissed let alone by a true love is a reasonable assumption - she would be 'dead', who who want to kiss a dead girl? (Obviously, we know, but just saying)
No Disney villain plan is better than that of Don Karnage, because he targets Disney's stupidest protagonists, has a pilot's license, and wears pants amid several stupid enemies who don't. Megavolt, Steelbeak, and The Beagle Boys are not far behind.
No I disagree with the monster option. The film treats this whale like a total force of nature more than an actual character. Plus he does not have any motive other than just eating. It makes no sense to include him just for being an animal
I agree and even with the addition intelligence he was somewhat justified in chasing Pinocchio and Geppetto when they escaped from him since I would be mad too if my food running away from me.
I'm a comic book writer(I come up with my own ideas) and I know how hard it is to finish one chapter of a story. Some of these antagonist's plans were written simply to not over complicate them(their plans) in a way that the protagonists will fix the problem easier. but the villain makes it hard for them.
I once read a fan theory that said after Scar killer Mufasa, Mufasa's spirit put a curse over The Pride Lands to where there would be no rain until Simba becomes king. This makes since as Scar was not the rightful next heir to the throne & the characters point out how it hasn't rained in years, yet as soon as Simba becomes king it rains signaling the end of Scar's reign.
Well it's possible that he knew he'd have to spend some money to take care of the cats, it's possible that he simply wanted ALL of it for himself. Either way he's not bright
I feel like some villains just have to go so hard to get what they want like the Evil Queen, all she could've done is just give some of her things to people in need instead of poisoning her step daughter. Mother Gothel is another example, She should've try botox or any make up. Bowler Hat Guy needs therapy, Jafar should've hypnotize the Sultan, Yzma should've posion Kusko, and Scar needs to confront Mufasa.
The irony with Queen Grimhilde, is that what made Snow White the fairest in the land was largely her kindness and caring nature. By doubling down on being terrible, she simply threw herself out of the running.
(Serious) For those who have been inquiring about why Scar did not killed Simba, it is worth nothing, lions lack the knowledge of blood stain removal. So he had the hyenas to do the dirty work instead. It is, in fact, a logical decision by Disney.
If you were a Disney villain, how would YOU alter any of these failed plots? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 20 Worst Things Done by Disney Villains - th-cam.com/video/krmOD76R7Eo/w-d-xo.html
Disney VS Warner Bros! After 100 Years!
I’m really sorry about what happened to said about your Disney top 10 videos. I’m really sorry about that.
You missed one. In Lion King 2 Simba's pride, although Zira's actual plan came with an inherent risk--because Kovu, her personally trained assassin stepson--falls in love with his intended hostage, due to Kiara being a childhood friend of his--it was her backup plan that was really counterproductive. She ambushed Simba while he was accompanied by Kovu, fully aware he was probably intent on abandoning his mission. Who's to say Simba would even be alive had Kovu not gone with him to inspect the destruction from a recent wildfire? (Which incidentally was started by Kovu's siblings.)
i would do what maleficent did put a sleeping spell on a baby
Um, if I were to alter the Evil Queen's plot, I would simply send Snow White as a bride to either a prince or a king 3 to 4 kingdoms over; basically far, far, away.
I respectfully choose to disagree of you guys having Ursula's plan on your list. It was timed and executed perfectly, plus she was able to sneak her way to victory to avoid any hiccups!
That’s what I’m saying.
I agree, Ursula’s plan wasn’t a portly thought out one. She actually had it planned right down the last detail.
But that is the exact reason why her plan failed, she underestimated Eric and Ariel's love. She could have tricked Ariel about helping her get close to Eric without actually doing it.
Jafar and king magfico both have similar evil plans
I agree Ursula was a great villain. What she did to try to take advantage of Ariel is awesome. Especially taking Ariel’s voice but Ariel gets Prince Eric anyway
Yeah, Edgar's plan was pretty poorly thought out. I mean, they're cats. It's not like they can spend the fortune, he could just do that with no one to stop him. He didn't need to get rid of them. He really wasn't thinking.
Agreed
That's precisely why he's one of dumbest and stupidest Disney villains but yet the fact that he's a comic relief though he's the main villain I guess it made up for that.
I Think has Plan to get the Fortune is to Plan for His Own Retirement.
Who Knows?
It's Just my Thoughts.
Plus he didn’t get to realize that the cats actually escaped
Well, he'll have plenty of time to think about the error of his ways in Timbuktu. 😂😂😂
Scar, Ursula and Jafar actually had brilliant plans.
In fact, Ursula's plan literally worked. She usurped Triton just as planned. The only reason she died is because she failed to notice Eric because she was too fixated on killing Ariel after she made her kill her pets.
Jafar's plan worked out too. He became a powerful sorcerer, sultan and even had Jasmine ready to create an heir for him. Becoming a genie was not a part of his plan, he just wished to become one out of sudden paranoia when Aladdin pointed out that he's not all-powerful.
Scar's plan worked well too. In fact, his plan was brilliant. He tricked Simba into causing a stampede, knowing the loss of Simba was Mufasa's greatest fear. And he used that fear to create a situation where Mufasa had no time to strategize, which made him an easy prey.
In fact, when Simba returned to the Pridelands, Scar was still able to use his trauma against him. The only reason he was defeated is because he got cocky and told Simba the truth.
Simba didn't cause the stampede. The hyenas did. He tricked Simba into survivor's guilt. This bugs me a bit because if Simba had stopped to think about things the moment he learned Scar was in league with the Hyenas, then Scar's attempt to get into his head would have failed magnificently.
@@Pfisiar22 No. Simba did. Scar told him to practice his roar specifically so the echo would frighten the wildebeests. The hyenas just steered them to the gorge.
@@vetarlittorf1807
The dude is right when he said Simba didn’t cause the stampede and it was only the hyenas that were responsible. They made it LOOK like Simba started the stampede with his roar when in actuality, the hyenas chased them down into the gorge.
But then again… this is the SAME person who believes Scar wasn’t a tyrant and told someone who liked the 2016 live action remake of The Jungle Book when he/she didn’t that he had no taste.
@@hunterolaughlinIs this what you normally do? Attack people for having different interpretations?
The only problem with Jafar's plan was that Jafar already had almost absolute power in the kingdom, through his influence over the Sultan, Jasmine's father. But that is the nature of greed- it is never satisfied!
The Queen of Hearts was certainly arbitrary in regards to her punishments. She's definitely not one for planning.
Tell me about it
Don't say that in her presence.
Also like the Cheshire Cat said in both the film and the original Lewis Carroll book, “Everyone is mad here”. Everyone’s mad in Wonderland, so its ruler is no exception.
To be fair, she rules over a realm of unbridled chaos; is it any wonder she’s so…dare I say…CHAOTIC?
To be fair, that's kind of the point of Wonderland. The idea was for it to be a dream of Alice's that was very imaginative, but made no sense whatsoever. So if the villain has no plans or motivation, that fits in with everything else.
I think most of these villains realized if they want something done properly, they have to do it themselves. You can’t trust the bumbling sidekicks.
I stll say Scar killing his brother Mufasa in Lion King and then blaming Simba so he could be king was cold .
And he could have getting away with it if he wasn't so arrogant, prideful, coward and power-hungry.
Ok so the plan is good upto a point 1)get simba in the gorge
2)cause a stampede
3)get mufasa to try rescuing simba (hopefully both get killed ok so mufasa saves simba ,asks scar for help)
(Adjusted the plan )scar throw mufasa back in the stampede
Mufasa dies all good then the thing that confused me
1)When simba is by mufasa body alone scar still plays the caring uncle when he could have killed simba there and then ( they were alone no witness and scar could have lied to the lionesses)
2) he ordered the hyenas to kill simba instead after giving him the trauma of simba being mufasa killer and didn't check on them
Edgar overlooked a very important detail about the Madame's will - Yes, the cats would be first to inherit their mistress's fortune, but they certainly couldn't handle, use, or spend any of that money for themselves. Ergo, Edgar would have been in control of the fortune with the only stipulation being he would have to take care of the cats for the rest of their lives (not to mention he believed the "9 lives" myth), and once the cats' lives came to an end he would fully have the fortune for himself
While he most likely overlooked this detail, there's the possibility he didn't and simply didn't want to have to care for the cats at all, which makes him much more of a greedy dirtbag
Like another TH-camr said, "You're severely underestimating their accounting skills!!!!" 😆😆
Actually, the biggest flaw in Prince John's plan would have been his attempt to hang friar tuck. Arresting a member of the clergy was bad enough, but actually executing him would quite possibly have triggered the Pope to punish England severely. (In the actual history, John was excommunicated and church services were stopped in England for 6 years. This, more than the taxes, is what made him deeply unpopular even among the peasants)
What I think is that Prince John didn't necessarily mean to actually execute Friar Tuck, but he just said he would to capture Robin in a trap.
But yeah, arresting a clergyman in the first place would have been bad enough in Medieval times even if that was the Sheriff's doing and not Prince John's.
And even a false threat of executing a friar could have gotten him into trouble, which is why Sir Hiss was terrified when he heard about that plan.
But that's indeed a nice reference to how the real Prince (later King) John reportedly disrespected the teachings of the church according to some chroniclers.
Then he also had a conflict with the pope and was indeed excommunicated, which is really interesting even if the pope later forgave him...
Although, in real life Prince John actually succeeded at, well, succeeding his brother Richard as King of England. He then became such a tyrant that he had to be forced into signing the Magna Carta.
@@Compucles That's true, but all the Robin Hood stories ended with King Richard's triumphant return and Prince John's defeat until just a few decades ago.
@@Compucles And from then onward, all the toilets throughout England were known as johns.
@@nowthatsjustducky That's a funny theory, but it's actually named after John Harrington, inventor of the flush toilet.
That's one of the many things I love about the evil plans of these particular Disney villains, They may think they have it all figured out but in reality their plans are actually not as foolproof as they believe they are.
If you think about it, scar's reign was doomed to have a bloody end, regardless if simba had died or not. Even if he had done the smarter thing and taken care of cub simba himself, the pridelands would still end up as a wasteland. And with no food, the Hyenas would eventually end up turning on scar anyways, once they realised their "infinite meat" was no longer infinite.
Scar's true failure was in ever allowing the hyenas back into the pridelands. Mufasa had a damn good reason for banning the hyenas, but Scar lacked the wisdom to understand that reason. Scar's character is a perfect example of how Intelligence and Wisdom are NOT the same.
The Queen from the 1951 Alice in Wonderland is flat out insane.
That’s the point. Ever since she made her appearance in Lewis Carroll’s book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, she’s been established as insane, or “mad” as the rest of the Wonderland inhabitants.
Dude, it's Wonderland. Everyone there is insane.
@@kittycatmeowmeow963 Or as the Cheshire Cat said, “Everyone is mad here”.
Correction: Scar DIDN'T know that Simba got away. He specifically ordered his hyenas to kill Simba, and thought he was dead all that time. In reality, of course, the hyenas gave up too soon and lied to him. When he sees that Simba DID, in fact, survive, he shoots the hyenas a look, then ALMOST succeeds in turning the pride against Simba by making it seem like he was responsible for Mufasa's death. The only reason his plan failed was because Scar couldn't help but gloat before he killed Simba, making Simba mad enough to pin him to the ground and make him admit it.
Dishonorable mention; Bellwether from Zootopia. Her plan to make prey the dominant species by seizing the mayordom was (kinda) thwarted by hubris and speciesism.
Monstro was only an animal, so he wouldn't have had a plan or even been a villain at all.
It is clear that Ursula knew that Ariel was Triton's weak spot, so she could get him where she wanted through her.
Cruella was pretty insane though and wouldn't have thought things through.
Gothel probably just thought that her psychological abuse would be enough to make Rapunzel stay in the tower.
Jafar desired to be more powerful than anybody else and didn’t want to settle for anything less.
Well, it is kind of obvious that Yzma's flea plan only was a joke.
Queen Grimhilde was sure that the dwarfs would bury Snow White before Florian could find her.
Even if Madame could have worded the will better, Edgar is pathetic in the most unlikable way (I feel a bit sorry for him when those dogs chase him though).
Scar had always assumed that the hyenas finished their job and that Simba couldn't be alive (and he would have died if Timon and Pumbaa hadn't found him).
Love that you call the Queen by her unofficial name, also she didn't take the whole love's first kiss thing seriously either.
Jafar could have been sultan without the lamp because he just needed to use his staff’s mind control abilities
Jafar was bad azz . Especially the laugh he had after sending Aladdin to the ends of the earth after becoming sorcerer
That’s what am saying I thought I was the only one who noticed it
He probably figured that the lamp and the genie were a more permanent method of gaining control of Agrabah. He probably didn't think that the staff control would be permanent enough to do that.
Thats very true, but Jafar wasn’t that powerful sadly. Genie was way too powerful than he is
@@RapFanatic4ever I got thinking of the Joker
Yzma is the most hilarious and underrated Disney villain
In Yzma's defense, The Emperor's New Groove is clearly a goofy comedy that you're not really supposed to take seriously. Edger is a moron who can't understand that the cats would be aging at the same time, not in shifts, meaning a litter of kittens and their mom might actually be more financially trustworthy heirs. As for the Queen of Hearts, the entire point of Alice in Wonderland is that it's an unpredictable romp through pure maddness, of course the villain wouldn't have a clear motivation.
If I was Scar, I'd do two things differently. One, I wouldn't even pretend with Simba, I'd get him right than and there. Second, I'd treat the hyaenas better. Even before Simba's return, you can see that there was unrest among them and they were complaining about the state of things. I feel like their turning on Scar in the climax was less a reaction to being blamed for everything and more the final straw.
Exactly, Scar didn't plan for the future at all. Not to mention the clan of hyenas were a means to an end. There's also the mad king troupe, and the folly of a king without a kingdom, to a lesser extent, to think on.
Given what Edgar has done to the cats is wrong, but the woman who was making her testament leaving her fortune her cats is ridiculous.
Yeah. That doesn’t make sense. Why would you leave money to your cats?
@@hilarywittit can easily be explained. Rich people are weird
Well in actuality even if the cats inherited the fortune first, Edgar would still be in control of it. The lady just would've expected Edgar to use the fortune to take care of the cats, And once they die the rest of it would go to Edgar.
@@TheCommenterDragonBut Edgar was too dumb to realize that in addition to thinking cats literally have nine lives and thinking they would all outlive him (he doesn’t seem that old)
Some people do leave their money to their pet, with caused like if anything happened to them all the money go to the shelter
Monstro doesn’t belong here. He’s just a hungry predator
While the evil queens plan is a bit..elaborate… she does explain why she’s not afraid of Snow White being revived- literally right after she finds out about true loves kiss. It’s because she assumed (logically) that once she was dead she’d be buried and therefore inaccessible. There was no reason for her to think she’d be kept in a glass coffin
A villain has to give a well thought out plan of evil, an incompetent one or poorly thought-out ones always fails easily.
And the almost successful one is a villain's evil plan or goal almost led them to totally victory except for one small detail.
Monstro is just an animal. A very mean animal.
Uraula's plan was actually working until Ariel's friends discovered her plan and ruined it.
I think the reason why Cruella chose to steal the puppies was because she didn't like being turned down when she offered to pay them and did it out of spite. Also, while she and Anita are old friends, Cruella doesn't like her husband Roger. Probably because of that song he made about her since he doesn't like her either.
Gothel. I agree that she should have chosen a different birthday for Rapunzel or moved moved someplace else.
Jafar wanted to be all powerful, and that did him in. He got trapped in a lamp after becoming a genie until the direct to video sequel, where he ended up being released.
Yzma. Apparently, she doesn't want to do the simple way of killing Kuzco.
Evil Queen. Vanity.
Goob or Bowler Hat Guy. He let his past ruin his future. He probably has a better future now since Lewis prevented the event that caused him to go down a miserable path.
Edgar was an idiot. He could've waited until the cats died of nature causes, and then he would have gotten the money.
Captain Hook. Flaws in his plans.
Prince John. Greed and other stupid decisions.
I think the reason why Scar didn't do away with Simba himself and had the hyenas do it because he would have had Simba's blood on his hands or paws. Perhaps the lionesses would have smelled it and realized he had killed Simba. Yes, he could have washed the blood away afterwards, but it is possible he could've been spotted by someone. So he figured get others to do the job for him. Unfortunately for Scar, the hyenas failed in their job.
The Queen of Hearts. She is just crazy.
Well for Goob, technically he no longer exists given how he woke up on time to catch the ball and the hat was not going to be invented so now his desire for revenge is gone too
I never get tired of seeing "Pull the lever Kronk!" Or "Wrong Lever!"
Edgar is actually so stupid 😂
In clear contrast, Disney's very smartest, best dressed, and most relatable villain is Don Karnage, who has a pilot's license, targets Disney's '60s cast members, and most importantly, wears pants amid several stupid enemies who don't, just as Megavolt, Steelbeak, and The Beagle boys all do.
@@SecretUser2000 Aside from Ma Beagle, the Beagle Boys are still idiots despite wearing pants.
Rapunzel is growing up, meaning she is growing older and will eventually die. Mother Gothel is screwed no matter what.
Yeah, pretty much.
The Emperor's new groove was one of my childhood favorites!!!
The thing about the Red Queen is that even though she has no plan or ambition, she's still a winner because other than Alice nobody opposes her. Where as others like Prince John and Scar inspire rebellion in their subjects due to the way they rule her whims and rage are just accepted. That actually scared me as a kid because everybody just went with whatever she wanted, she had people killed and NOBODY cared. No rebellion. No "Hey kid you wanna join a resistance". Her people backed her.
Wait... Monstro had a bad plan... correction: He had a plan? What do you want to plan, if a peski little boat makes you snease and comes out your mouth. There is no plan and therefor no bad plan. It is even questionable if Monstro was a villain, since he was just an animal, guided by instincts.
Jafar was a great villain,but why did he need the magic lamp if he could just have brainwashed the Saltan into giving the throne to him? Overthinking and power hunger proved his undoing.
Why are we even calling Monstro's actions a "plan". He is an animal intent on eating, not scheming.
I agree with all of these… except for Ursula! Honestly… her plan, with processes like stealing Ariel’s voice, was amazing to see!
Ursula also had competent hench-eels. She even cared for them more than most villains.
As Buttercup from the PowerPuff Girls said: “Villains are stupid.” That these Disney Villains are stupid that their plans will never work.
10- Monstro is a whale and acts on pure animalistic instinct
9- Ursula did have some hiccups in her plan to gain power of the oceans and seven seas but becoming a giant was her ultimate downfall - if she was compared to another character it be Darth Sidious: overconfidence as a weakness
8- Cruella De Vil here leaving her plan in the hands of the boneheads of Horace and Jasper was a bad idea, and in my opinion she is the number one Disney villain, but for me the best part is at the end after the crash
"You idiots! You- you fools! Oh you imbeciles!" "Aw shut up." 😂😂😂
6- Jafar was already in a position to grab power from the sultan with his staff he didn't really need a genie to get more power he was too greedy to see that
"It's mine. It's all mine. I... Where is it? No. NOOOoooo"
5- Yzma: only one thing to say: "Pull the lever, Kronk. 🕳️ WRONG LEVER!
3- Edgar I feel sorry for him, overheard how all of his mistress' belongings were being inherited to her cat's and then him is hard thing to hear but cat napping them and sending them to the french countryside and then Timbuktu was a horrible choice
1- Queen of Hearts you would figure would have more compassion than anger and rage, not to mention the pleasure of yelling out "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!"
This should've been named Disney villain plans backfires
You should have added Lady Tremaine. If she had helped Cinderella be with the Prince instead of letting her pride get in the way, Cinderella would have forgiven her, because that was the kind of person she was, and Lady Tremaine and her daughters could have cashed in as relatives of the princess.
I’m surprised they didn’t include the Coachman from Pinocchio. That plan’s fate is worse than death.
Except his plan (as far as we know) succeeded, just not with Pinocchio
But the sick bastard got away with it as far as we know (but I really hope that he suffered a terrible fate off screen).
So his plan was not a bad one, but an incredibly evil plan that worked much better than it should have.
However, Pinocchio is still likely to rat on him to the police.
I swear sometimes you don’t follow through for the sake of convenience. If you continue the Queens scene of reading the book, she makes her logic quite clear. The dwarves would think she’s dead and bury her (alive). Therefore she’d be out of the way, dead in the ground and the fairest IN the land. Her plot failed because “so beautiful, even in death, the dwarves could not find it in their hearts to bury her.” It went awry because of factors beyond her control.
8:21 - CATS?!😂
You're correct about Cruella De Vil. Clearly she has never heard of fake fur.
She seems vain enough to only want the real thing
@@dakotahmays1437 true! But I just love Cruella. One of my favorite Disney animated baddies. My mom loves her even more....I've purchased 3 or 4 Cruella figurines for her over the years.
I don't think fake fur existed in that time period. Even if it did I don't think she'd settle for fake products.
Personally I think scar’s mistake was trying to pin the blame on the hyenas when they could overhear him
In my opinion, Edgar wasn't thinking big enough in terms of sending the cats someplace further away. I mean hypothetically speaking if it were me I would've sent the cats somewhere even further than Timbuktu, Like China or even the South Pole.
I think Hans should of been on the list because for Hans to succeed he would have needed Anna alive but either way he wouldn’t be able to be king of Arendelle because of blood so if he wanted to be king he could’ve just plotted something to make sure he was next in line for the throne in the southern isles
Ikr. Plus, a Queen’s husband is HRH Prince rather than HM King, so he still would be considered a Prince even if he married a Queen
Dissing Monstro for not having a good villain plan is like dissing my cat for not having a good villain plan. Neither is trying to be a villain in the first place.
Who's the fairest of them all? Try who's the stupidest one of them all?
Mirror: "Are you sure you want me to answer that?"
The absolute worst Disney villain plan is that of the grandpa, King Runeard, from "Frozen II." (SPOILERS) First of all, he's already dead. He personally killed the leader of the Northuldra while on some kind of diplomatic picnic. This sparked a battle that not only killed the king himself, but apparently all of the soldiers who were in on his secret evil plan. It also almost killed his son and only heir, whom he decided to bring along. Runeard failed to pass his prejudice on to the next generation, as his son married "the enemy." And the rest of his people don't hate the Northuldra, either. His only evil legacy is a dam that just sits there waiting to be destroyed. His own granddaughter destroys it. If only evil people in real life were this incompetent.
My personal opinion about the Evil Queen’s flawed planning is that she could’ve made herself even more “fairer” than Snow White with her magic spells, the same one that she used to turn herself into an old peddler.
Did none of her spell books have that solution? Did the Magic Mirror see through Snow White’s pure heart that made her more fairer than the Evil Queen? Or did the Evil Queen just not think it through?
I think Grimhilde wouldn't tolerate Snow White being alive hence why she wanted her gone for good.
Then again, even if she had a magical spell to make herself more "fairer", the Evil Queen doesn't want competition. Hence why she wanted Snow White out of the picture so she'll have no equals.
Prince Hans should have made this list. He is easily the worst twist movie villain ever (not just from Disney but from any movie). The way he just magically turns evil on a dime made no sense. Until the moment he betrayed Anna he did nothing but good. There were no hints of malice or ulterior motive until he tells Anna, “not only will I not kiss you, but I’m going to leave you here to die and oh I’m going to kill your sister too just for the fun of it and take over your kingdom. Bye!” Yeah nothing led to that, so he sucks! Worst villain ever!
Hans was never supposed to be the villain in the beginning, and that is why he doesn't seem like a villain until his reveal.
Ursula's plan was literally a smashing success. She took over the trident and took out the king. She only died because she let her ego and the power get to her. Her plan itself was a success.
Jafar, scar and Ursula all executed their plans and pretty much succeed just didnt last long....scar became king, jafar became sultan, and ursula became the ruler of the oceans, all went to extreme lengths to get what they wanted....but its disney.. the villans dont win the end but their plans were pure genius, from killing a brother, to stealing a genie, to using powerful magics. So i highly disagree with thoses
Yeah, Edgar's plan was stupid. Just inherit the millions and also four cats. Plus, don't dispose of the cats while the heiress is still alive.
I'm a little surprised that you didn't include King Magnifico from "Wish". He directly TOLD Asha that he had no intention of returning the wishes to their rightful owners. This foolishness led to both Asha summoning Star and his own fall from grace.
To be fair who is going to believe her over the king lol. Plus the kind never knew a star can be summoned
This really does show why Disney's fascination with trying to expand their classic villains into three-dimensional characters with dark tragic backstories never works.
At the end of the day, they're supervillains who do cartoonishly evil things because that's what they are, cartoons. You don't question why Tom constantly tries to bash Jerry over the head with a hammer because that's what he does.
Trying to give a "realistic" or "understandable" explanation for why a character would do something so cartoonishly over the top, NEVER WORKS.
Giving Cruella a dead mom backstory to explain why she has a hate boner for Dalmatians doesn't make her a three-dimensional person. It makes your original version look stupid by association.
Well, the backstory in "Maleficent" that explained why Maleficent wanted revenge on Stefan worked for me even if the movie still had other problems.
But even though I haven't seen "Cruella", I must agree that it sounds like that backstory doesn’t work since Cruella never actually hated Dalmatians.
(Or she didn't before Pongo and his family thwarted her at least.)
She was only after their furs because she wanted to make fashionable clothes out of them.
To be fair to Tom, Jerry is generally a jerk to him, and starts the problems.
@@dustinwashburn1283 Yeah, I know I mostly sided with Tom over Jerry.
@@dustinwashburn1283Plus most of the time, Tom just wants to eat Jerry because cats eat mice. And when that fails, he at least tries to one up Jerry.
Eh not really. You can have a sad backstory and still be a dick
Anyone else find it funny how Madame didn't seem in any way considered that Edgar seemed to just mysteriously vanish at the end? 😂
Actually she did acknowledge that Edgar disappeared, But she just assumed that he quit because of the Madame's Will. I mean she literally said "If Edgar had only known about the will, I'm sure he wouldn't have left."
@@baymaxinarmor4133still ud at least be surprised that someone u trusted would just take off with out saying anything.
I'm just glad Hades wasn't on this list. He is one of my top 3 fav Disney villains. The other two are Maleficent and Frollo, who also wasn't on this list, which I'm pretty happy about
Well, just hypnotizing the Sultan into granting him power was Jafar's Plan B when he lost the lamp the first time. That plan just happened to have also failed...aside from opening up a new opportunity for Plan A.
Wishing to be a genie was a big mistake, though. Although, he almost made it work for him in "The Return of Jafar," but then he got too greedy in trying to concoct the perfect revenge scheme instead of just letting Aladdin die the first time he and Abis Maul got the better of him.
Not really part of the plan though. Aladin simply preyed on his fear of losing power, and Jafar didn't know about the caveat of being a Genie. Otherwise, his plans went through pretty well, even though he had to improvise for a bit of it.
Cruella wanted to make a coat out of puppies!
In Disney's Alice In Wonderland, it is all just a dream of hers.
The Evil Queen's was quite evil actually. Sure, the poison apple only made her sleep forever, but her real plan was to make Snow White suffer by being buried alive. It might've worked, if the dwarfs did not make a glass coffin instead of burying her.
Should've added Hades to this list, his plan was to turn Hercules mortal and then kill him. But instead of doing it himself, he let his minions do it and they failed.
P.S. I'd like to see Maui battle Monstro and collect one of his teeth as a trophy to add to his neckless.
Another stupid thing about Gothel is that she would have put the magic flower in a pot and hidden it in her hiding place so that no one would find it. Instead, she decided to hide it in a fake bush in the same place. When she accidentally burned the fake bush, the king's men discovered the flower.
Monstro is a whale, an animal. He doesn't scheme or plan, he just eats. Now the Coachman, he had a clever and cruel plan that earned him lots of money and he was never actually shown being stopped. He could continue to trick kids into going to Pleasure Island.
Yzma and Goob are deliberately ridiculous for the sake of humour.
Disney VS Warner Bros! After 100 Years!
I wanna see that
Both of them are L companies. 100 years of cartooning for this... It feels wasteful and legacy-tarnishing knowing that all their efforts are now down the toilet bowl for the sake of capitalist profit and monopolistic corporatism. It's tragic.
@@nevaehhamilton3493 it’s a shame because they have the ability to do great things. It’s just that they want to make safe movies in order to make a profit.
You forgot to mention that the evil queen didn't have an escape plan to evade the dwarves on their on turf.
Even if their plans weren't that good. Without them, the movies would've been very boring.
Jafar's plan actually was successful. Aladdin only beat him by exploiting his greed and power hunger by pointing out that a Genie is far more powerful then a sorcerer.
I think the original plan was the fail; why did he need the diamond in the rough to be ultimate power; when he was all but Sultan. The sultan was buffoon and left it all to Sultan. Heck, apparently the loophole in the law meant he’d marry Jasmine.
But yes the genie wish was trickery; he didn’t know the limitations of the all powerful genie
As a non-sentient animal, Monstro never had a "plan", so shouldn't be on this list unless you're just trying to pad it out. 🤨
The Evil Queen from Snow White didn't create an antidote to her potion, to turn back into herself. How could she be the fairest in the land while still looking like an old hag?!
Dishonorable mention Hans wanted to take anndelle
Personally, I think you guys should have included Philip Benedict's plan from Recess School's Out. I mean, the guy literally tried to create a permanent global winter just for some higher test scores. I don't know about you, but I think that's going a little too far just to get some higher test scores.
Agreed, although his end goal was also to get himself elected as President, since he rationalized that boosting the United States’ test scores to the top would make him a hero and beloved enough that people would want to elect him. So, there’s an element of power in the mix that he wants as well.
TV series movies are not allowed on this list. Unfortunately.
Would have made more sense than Ursula being on the list.
Yzma: pull the lever kronk, WRONG LEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
What about Madame Medusa in The Rescuers. She may have been ok with a little girl drowning in an attempt to recover the Devil's Eye, but if Penny drowned it would only delay Medusa's chance of getting the diamond and bring her closer to being caught even if she kidnapped another child and the same thing happened, so no benefits there. She would've been better off doing what would make Penny succeed and get the diamond even with no qualms at drowning a child or anything else so horrible, because Medusa's goal is to get the diamond and she needed someone small enough to do it, so would she rather delay her chance of getting the diamond? It's much more logical for someone who only wants a diamond and is willing to drown a child to instead send the child down there when it's not high tide so they can get the diamond without drowning, which wouldn't have helped Medusa get the diamond and lead to unnecessary delays. And she doesn't exactly have all the resources she needs, so kidnapping another child and doing the whole ruthlessness-over-logic shtick would bring her closer to being caught.
I wouldn't call Monstro a villain. He was just a whale and like a lot of animals, when he sees potential for food, he'll go for it. The reason he went after Pinocchio and Gepetto after they escaped was because he had been sneezing and was riled up that some of his food escaped. There was no reason or plan behind it. He wanted food.
Tbh If I was any of these villains I'll probably have a backup plan since most then don't seem to think it through especially Jafar and Scar but hey we still admire their twisted plans even though their pretty messed up
Jafar did have a backup plan (well, technically Iago's plan): Hypnotize the sultan into arranging for Jasmine to marry him. Aladdin managed to foil that one on his own. Although, in the process of failing at Plan B, Jafar realized he had an opportunity to go back to Plan A...
Here's another one that's more recent: King Magnifico showing Asha where he keeps the people's wishes. He didn't even officially hire her as his apprentice yet!
I mean hei mean he probably waa going to lol
For me syndromes plan is idiotic and full of holes for 2 reasons
1. His revenge scheme is all bc Mr incredible rejects him and he couldn't take it like a damn man and accept the hero life isn't for him.
2. His plot for world domination is to be seen as a hero and sell him s product to everyone so they can be supers. Also what doesn't make sense is that he is pushing his buttons to dislocate the omnibots arm right in front of the audience so how doesn't anyone see he's pulling the strings
Tbf, I think the evil queen thinking that snow white would not be kissed let alone by a true love is a reasonable assumption - she would be 'dead', who who want to kiss a dead girl? (Obviously, we know, but just saying)
Can you do Top 10 best Disney Villain plans?
No Disney villain plan is better than that of Don Karnage, because he targets Disney's stupidest protagonists, has a pilot's license, and wears pants amid several stupid enemies who don't. Megavolt, Steelbeak, and The Beagle Boys are not far behind.
I agree with most of these, but didn't expect Queen of Hearts to be at Number One.
What about Magnifico( WISH), Hans(FROZEN), Ratigan( Great Mouse Detective)
I think that The Queen of Hearts was the the Disney villain with the worst Plan.

I never got this joke as a kid, but now the “ah-ha” moment makes me laugh
She’s just gonna straight up stab them
No I disagree with the monster option. The film treats this whale like a total force of nature more than an actual character. Plus he does not have any motive other than just eating. It makes no sense to include him just for being an animal
I agree and even with the addition intelligence he was somewhat justified in chasing Pinocchio and Geppetto when they escaped from him since I would be mad too if my food running away from me.
There were like 3 or 4 other villain in Pinocchio that could have been picked like the coachman stromboli or the 2 guys Pinocchio met first
I don't think villain that don't have a plan should count and Ursula's plan was perfect. you should of had her sister on the list.
I'm a comic book writer(I come up with my own ideas) and I know how hard it is to finish one chapter of a story. Some of these antagonist's plans were written simply to not over complicate them(their plans) in a way that the protagonists will fix the problem easier. but the villain makes it hard for them.
I once read a fan theory that said after Scar killer Mufasa, Mufasa's spirit put a curse over The Pride Lands to where there would be no rain until Simba becomes king. This makes since as Scar was not the rightful next heir to the throne & the characters point out how it hasn't rained in years, yet as soon as Simba becomes king it rains signaling the end of Scar's reign.
So…. The ancestors are secretly assholes?
Edgar’s plan may not have been well thought out, but he did have a good motive. I mean, what did Madam expect her pet cats to do with the money?
Well it's possible that he knew he'd have to spend some money to take care of the cats, it's possible that he simply wanted ALL of it for himself. Either way he's not bright

Moe Syzslak: White rabbit? Chicks popping mushrooms? This is like the Playboy Mansion. 😒
Heroism triumphs over villainy.
I feel like some villains just have to go so hard to get what they want like the Evil Queen, all she could've done is just give some of her things to people in need instead of poisoning her step daughter. Mother Gothel is another example, She should've try botox or any make up. Bowler Hat Guy needs therapy, Jafar should've hypnotize the Sultan, Yzma should've posion Kusko, and Scar needs to confront Mufasa.
The irony with Queen Grimhilde, is that what made Snow White the fairest in the land was largely her kindness and caring nature. By doubling down on being terrible, she simply threw herself out of the running.
Watch your thoughts, they become your words. Watch your words, they become your actions. Watch your actions, they become your destiny!
I'm pleasantly surprised that this lady narrating correctly pronounced the name of Madame from The Aristocats
Why isn’t Princess and The Frog not more involved with some line ups ?
Happy Holidays. Wishing you guys all the best.
I wouldn't include Monstro here. The whale had no plan whatsoever, as its only aim was to feed.
The aristocats villain plan is always shocking
Well TBH Scar did send those Hyenas to get Simba and kill him. But they were idiots. So that doesn't quite help.
(Serious) For those who have been inquiring about why Scar did not killed Simba, it is worth nothing, lions lack the knowledge of blood stain removal. So he had the hyenas to do the dirty work instead. It is, in fact, a logical decision by Disney.
Fair point, but Scar still could've just had the hyenas gut Simba right there instead of trying to gaslight and exile him first.
