With the success of our Disney Villain Non-Lethal Fates video, it was only a matter of time before
we decided to do one for Dreamworks. From twisted fairy tale characters to nefarious
animals to actual Godlike characters, these characters often avoid death in the end.
But who gets off with minimal consequences and who is left wishing for death?
I’m Brab with WickedBinge and this is Dreamworks Villains Non-Lethal Fates:
Got Off Easy to Worse Than Death
Starting our ranking, we have those characters who are faced with very
minor, if any consequences for their actions. These characters Got Off Easy.
Kicking off this category, we have the Goddess of Chaos, Eris from Sinbad:
Legend of the Seven Seas. Living up to her title, Eris does everything she can to create hardships
and trouble for the citizens of Syracuse pretty much from the word Go by stealing the Book of
Peace. This also helps her in framing Sinbad for her actions, as well as condemning his
friend Proteus to death after he takes Sinbad’s place for execution. After Eris is unsuccessful
in having her monsters, which include a Roc and Sirens, in killing Sinbad, she agrees in returning
the Book of Peace if Sinbad returns to Syracuse to take Proteus’s place for execution. Thinking
that Sinbad won’t go back and that Sycaruse will be thrown into chaos after Proteus is killed,
Eris is forced to live up to her bargain after Sinbad does return to save his friend. But other
than returning the Book of Peace and leaving Syracuse untouched, Eris has absolutely nothing
else happen to her and even admits that she will continue to create chaos elsewhere. Yikes.
Probably the cutest bird/prehistoric cat hybrid ever, Chunky from The
Croods is taking this next spot. When it comes down to the villainous acts that others pull on
this list, really, Chunky is actually not that bad. It can even be argued that he is simply
following his nature where his attempts in trying to eat the Croods is concerned,
as Chunky is a carnivorous cat. But Chunky is pretty relentless in hunting the family
down whenever he sees them. However, after the world begins to form its current state when the
continents start to pull apart, Chunky meets Grug in a cave, warming up to the Crood’s patriarch out
of fear. And while being scared can be a really rough emotion to go through at times, Grug and
Chunky work together in order to get out of the cave and meet up with the other family members,
with Chunky being adopted as a pet. Even though Chunky definitely had to go through
some rough times during the course of the movie, nothing really major happens to Chunky that
seems to affect him long term and even finds himself a loving family to be adopted into.
Punk rock enthusiast and Queen of the Rock Trolls, Queen Barb from Trolls World Tour is up next.
During the course of the movie, Queen Barb steals the Strings which powers different types of music
from other Troll tribes in order to eliminate all other forms of music apart from her own.
And while she is able to capture Poppy due to her angering Queen Barb, Poppy is the one who ruins
the Rock Queen’s plans. While Queen Barb is able to play the Ultimate Power Cord on her guitar
during the concert at Volcano Rock City and turns a majority of the other Trolls into Rock zombies,
Poppy is able to protect herself due to plugging up her ears beforehand. After Poppy is able to
get Barb’s guitar away from her and destroys it and the other Trolls are restored back to their
previous state, Poppy is able to help Barb become more open-minded where the other music and Trolls
lifestyle is concerned. And while having one’s way of thinking can be an adjustment, seeing how Queen
Barb is able to become way more accepting and even forms a friendship with Poppy and does not
have any negative consequences happen to her, she is getting placed slightly below Chunky.
A big baby in every sense of the term, Francis E. Francis from Boss Baby is up next. Alright,
while we can agree that having a career of working with adorable dogs would be a dream job for many,
Francis is definitely not the kind of person who should be in this line of work. Rather
than giving these good boys and girls the love and care they deserve, Francis only
sees puppies as a way to eliminate Baby Co after revealing the Forever Puppy. However,
when Francis is revealing the Forever Puppy at the Las Vegas convention,
his plans are stopped after the Boss Baby and Tim arrive. Francis engages in a fight with the duo
after they are able to save their parents from the box that Francis has them trapped in. During the
fight though, Boss Baby is able to knock Francis into a vat of baby formula, which reverts Francis
back to babyhood. Before Francis can continue the fight, he is stopped by his half brother,
Eugene and taken away, with Eugene promising that they would Francis better this time. Sure,
getting turned back into a baby from adulthood is a really rough adjustment to make. But, Francis
does not have anything else happen to him, apart from having to grow up once again and,
hopefully he will be able to become a better person with his second chance.
And our last entant for our Got Off Easy category is a guy who takes the term toilet humor in a
quite literal sense, Professor Poopypants from Captain Underpants. Ironically, it is his hatred
of laughter that is the driving force behind Professor Poopypants plans in the movie. As he
is driven to insanity due to people making fun of his less than desirable name, Professor Poopypants
is looking for a way to completely erase one’s ability to laugh. Using both the Turbo Toilet
2000 and the Sizeirator, Professor Poopypants is able to erase the ability to laugh from the
students of Jerome Horwitz Elementary. Thankfully though, Harold and George,
the main characters of the movie are able to break free of his control. They, along with Captain
Underpants are able to shrink Professor Poopypants using his own Sizeirator and temporarily capture
him. However, due to Captain Underpants stupidity, Professor Poopypants is able to escape while still
shunk while riding a bee, which Captain Underpants smacks away. Sure, he might be tiny and the
Sizeirator is destroyed after the fight but seeing how intelligent Professor Poppypants is, we feel
pretty confident that he can easily build another one to fix his current predicament. That coupled
with him being free as well, Professor Poopypants got off extremely lightly for his actions.
Now we are going to be diving into the bulk of our ranking. These characters might not
be wishing for death but they are also definitely not getting off easy. These are the Brutal Fates
Starting this category we have the accidental supervillain,Tighten from Megamind. Alright,
let's be honest with ourselves, a majority of us would love to have superpowers. Unfortunately,
Hal Steward is probably one of the most undeserving people to have them. Due to
Megamind trying to create a clone of Metro Man, Hal Steward is accidentally injected
with the serum and becomes the supervillain Tighten. And while he might be a bit dimwitted,
Tighten is still a pretty significant threat. He is able to successfully pull off a crime spree
before being confronted by Megamind. And while Tighten does have a pretty significant edge with
his strength, he still is kinda lacking in the brains department as he allows an opening for
Megamind to inject him with a device that erases his powers and is later arrested. Sure, having
incredible power and strength is cool and everything but we are so glad that Hal was
stopped when he was and hopefully learned a lesson after his defeat. Still though, having that level
of strength and then for it to be taken away in a matter of seconds is a harsh way to go.
When it comes to making deals with others, making a contract with Rumplestiltskin from Shrek Forever
After would be an awful move to make. While he is able to create any wish a reality due
to his magical contracts, Rumplestiltskin is very craft at hiding the escape clause
within each contract he writes. When Shrek signs the contract to be an Ogre For A Day,
wanting to live his life before he had met Fiona, Rumplestiltskin is able to
take the day Shrek was born as payment. In the alternate future, due to Shrek not saving Fiona,
Rumplestiltskin is able to take over the kingdom of Far, Far Away due to having
Fiona’s parents agreeing to turn over the kingdom in order to save their daughter.
After Shrek is able to join the Ogre resistance that Fiona leads however, Rumplestiltskin is
captured by one of the Ogre soldiers before Shrek and Fiona share True Love’s Kiss,
undoing the original contact that Shrek signed and destroying Rumplestiltskin’s empire. During
the end credits of the movie, Rumplestiltskin is seen locked in a cage and we really don’t know
how long his imprisonment is and we also really have no idea if Rumplestiltskin will face any
further punishment, which definitely contributes to this Brutal ranking.
He might be the smallest entry on our list but he has big plans. Yep, it's time for Professor
Marmalade from The Bad Guys. Despite being a cute guinea pig, Professor Marmalade’s true colors are
anything but cute or nice. Even though Professor Marmalade seemingly tries to help the Bad Guys
reform, in reality, he is just using them as scapegoats for his crimes. After the meteorite
is stolen from the charity benefit and the Bad Guys are blamed for the theft, Professor Marmalade
is able to use the power from the meteorite in powering his mind control helmet as a way to
steal the funds from the various charity benefits. After Mr.Wolf crashes his car in order to save Mr.
Snake though, Professor Marmalade's mind control helmet is destroyed due to the shockwave sending
it flying into his helicopter blades. Even though onlookers believe that he is bringing
the meteorite back after Professor Marmalade lands in front of them, it is soon revealed
that the meteorite is a fake. Realizing that the real meteorite is back at his mansion and has been
set to overload by Mr.Snake, Professor Marmalade watches in horror as his mansion and possessions
explode in the distance. And while that is bad, the icing on the cake comes when a priceless jewel
falls out of Professor Marmalade's pocket and while he is innocent for that crime at least,
he is arrested for the theft of it. Professor Marmalade might have gotten a slightly higher
ranking if only one of these things happened but it is the double whammy that lands him here.
While the profession of being a child case worker is an admirable career to have, Ms. Grunion from
Mr. Peabody and Sherman definitely should not be working in this field. Rather than using her
job to help Sherman or get a better scope of the situation after being assigned to his case after
his fight with Penny, Ms Grunion automatically attempts to remove him from Mr.Peabody’s care,
just due to him being a dog. And sure, having a dog as an adoptive parent is a bit unusual,
seeing the positive environment Sherman was being raised in gives Mr.Peabody huge props. During her
investigation, however, Ms. Grunion attempts to manipulate the situation in order to come out
on top. After the space time continuum rips due to Sherman’s and Penny’s time traveling during
Ms. Grunion’s investigation and unintentionally messing with history, Ms. Grunion is kidnapped
and pulled through the vortex by Troy soldiers before the rip in time is repaired. Time travel
is something a majority of people would jump at the chance at, no doubt. But being forcibly taken
and no way back? Yeah, we can comfortably say that Ms. Grunion is not getting off lightly here.
The married outlaw couple Jack and Jill from Puss in Boots are coming up next. They might be
Humptey Dumpey’s partners in crime, but that does not give this duo any brownie points.
While they are seemingly willing to work with Humptey in his plans for revenge against Puss,
that is not to say that these two are loyal in any way. After Humptey is able to redeem himself by
helping out Puss and Kitty Softpaws in saving San Ricardo from the Great Terror after they
kidnap it’s goose baby, Jack and Jill attempts to shoot them, as well as stealing the baby goose
back as a way to get the golden eggs it lays. However, during their chase to reclaim the goose,
the cart their are driving is stepped on and squashed by the Great Terror,
Jack and Jill along with it. And while this is a very painful way to go, this does not kill them,
as both are seen in the end credits of the movie in full body casts. Having broken bones always
sucks, no doubt. But like Professor Marmalade, they are sure to face a double whammy of
punishment after they are healed up, more than likely being arrested for their crimes. Unlike
the Professor though, who just had his stuff destroyed, Jack and Jill suffer pretty significant
bodily harm and with their recovery time being unknown, they are getting a lower ranking.
Hunting enthusiast and gold digger, Victor Quartermaine From Wallace and Gromit:
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is taking this spot. Initially Victor is just looking to
marry Lady Tottington in order to get her fortune. However, after Wallace and
Gromit are able to impress Lady Tottington by getting rid of the rabbits invading her estates
grounds with their non-lethal BunVac, Victor Quartermaine sets his sights on the duo. And
while Victor attempts to fight Wallace due to Lady Tottington preferring him, Victor quickly
changes course once he discovers that Wallace is the Were-Rabbit that has been breaking into the
villagers gardens and eating their vegetables and attempts to shoot him. Even though he is
unable to murder Wallace at his home, Victor is able to confront Wallace while in his rabbit form
at the Giant Vegetable Show. Unfortunately for Victor though, he accidentally reveals to Lady
Tottington that he is aware that Wallace is the Were-Rabbit before trying to shoot him again.
Thankfully though, Lady Tottington is able to spray Victor in the face
with a weed killer before he is able to give chase to Wallace. During the final
showdown between the two, while Victor nearly succeeds in shooting Wallace,
his efforts are undone after Gromit intercepts the golden bullet with his plane and then getting
knocked out by Lady Tottington hitting him with a giant carrot. Gromit then disguises
Victor in a giant rabbit costume before sending him out in front of the villagers,
who chase him off. Victor gets a ton of bumps and bruises during his fight and while his fate
is uncertain when the villagers eventually capture him, we feel like his placement is well deserved.
Our second to last Brutal Fate in our list is going to animal hater and control officer, Chantel
DuBois from Madagascar: Europe’s Most Wanted. Unlike normal animal control officers, who usually
just release whatever animal is causing issues back into the wild, Chantel’s goal in the movie
is to kill Alex and the others. If that wasn’t bad enough, she has the goal of turning them
into trophies for her home. And while Chantel comes very close to her goal at certain points,
Alex and the others are able to foil her plans while in Europe, first by cutting the rope she
had around Melnen’s neck so she landed in a pool and then firing her from a cannon. When Alex and
the gang reach New York though, Chantel is able to capture them briefly before she is stuck with
a tranquilizer dart from Mort. After she comes to though, Chantel finds herself bound and gagged,
and is trapped in a cargo trunk on a ship bound for Madagascar along with her henchmen. And sure,
while Chantel eventually is able to get free after the ship reaches its destination,
she takes her fair share of lumps during the fight against Alex and the others.Plus being
unwillingly restrained and drugged is absolutely horrifying. And we also really don’t know if she
faces further punishment after she gets out of the crate which lands her so low
High priest Tzekel-Kan from the Road to El Dorado is rounding up this category. Ok, ok, yes, we know
we included Tzekel-Kan in our Dreamworks Villain Deaths video. But hear us out. In our previous
video, Tzekel-Kan was the first entrant in the video for off-screen deaths. And while that might
have taken place, as Tzekel-Kan is seemingly alive and kicking when the credits roll, he gets a spot
here. And how he meets his fate is definitely a harsh way to go. After realizing Tulio and Miguel
are not the Gods that Tzekel-Kan believed them to be, he is not hesitant in using his magic to
bring a jaguar statue to life in order to attack them. This however, is what starts Tzekel-Kan’s
downfall. Due to the weight of the statue, the platform he is standing on crumbles, sending
both Tzekel-Kan and the statue plummeting into the giant whirlpool below the platform. And even
though Tzekel-Kan survives this, after he lands outside El Dorado, his situation goes from bad to
much worse. After the explorer Cortès finds him, Tzekel-Kan is dragged away by his soldiers after
failing to show them the opening to El Dorado. And while the argument can be made that Cortès
does kill Tzekel-Kan off-screen, there is also a pretty good argument that he could have been faced
with a much worse fate in becoming a slave on the ship, as well as further unknown punishment.
We are finally arriving at those characters whose suffering is seemingly never
ending. Sure, they are still alive at the end of their movie but we are willing to bet
that they are wishing they weren’t. These characters' fates are Worse Than Death.
What is more dangerous than a mad scientist? A mad scientist with a vendetta. Enter Dave AKA
Dr. Octavius Brine from The Penguins of Madagascar. Nobody likes to be
ignored. But Dave takes his rejection to super unhealthy levels even before the movie begins,
as he was once a beloved and popular octopus at the Central Park Zoo before the Penguins
arrive. After people begin to pay more attention to the Penguins however, Dave begins his plot for
revenge. Dave is able to both recruit several other octopuses to his cause,
as well as inventing a serum called the Medusa Formula, which turns whoever it is used on
into a grotesque monster. And while Dave is able to use the Medusa Formula to transform
a majority of the Penguins into monsters, he is also defeated by his invention. During the
scramble for the remote which controls the ray that the serum is fired from,
Dave is caught in the blast after the Penguins are able to gain control of the device and use
it to reverse their situation. And while Dave does not suffer the fate he was trying to condemn the
Penguins to, he is shrunk to a tint size and is somehow trapped within a snowglobe. And sure,
a snowglobe isn’t the most durable prison, but as the snowglobe is taken away by a kid,
we really don’t know if he ever gets out at all. Plus, whenever one would shake the snowglobe, that
is pretty much the equivalent of a mini earthquake that Dave has to experience countless times.
Everyone has nightmares from time to time. And the guy who brings them to us in the
final entry in our list, Pitch Black AKA The Boogeyman from Rise of the Guardians.
Even though being the King of Nightmares is Pitch Black’s job description, it is his end
goal that makes him such a dangerous enemy. As he wants to plunge the world into darkness and fear,
Pitch Black is able to trap and kill the Sandman in a dream in order to transform the dreams of
others into nightmares. After most of the children of the world stop believing in the Guardians,
Pitch Black is able to gain almost unbeatable strength. However, after the Guardians step in
to protect the kids, they are able to restore strength back to Jack Frost and the others,
which finally allows them to fight back and weakens Pitch Black. Sensing defeat, Pitch
Black attempts to run only to be stopped by the Guardians. And while he claims that he will never
truly be gone, Pitch Black is dragged back into his realm after his nightmares sense his own fear,
trapping him and dooming him to be tormented by his own fears. Pitch Black is seemingly
immortal though and to be tormented by one’s worst fears and with as there is supposedly no
way to escape from where he is trapped, yeah, Pitch Black’s fate is the worst of the bunch.
