It’s another day, and another wave of Dreamworks Villains that need to be sentenced! Today,
we have to look at monsters, politicians, Vikings,
and racers, so it’s safe to say we’ve got our work cut out for us here! Without further ado,
let’s get everything into session, and start to hand out some sentences!
I’m Brad with WickedBinge, and this is Sentencing Dreamworks Villains For Their Crimes
Let’s rewind time all the way back to the stone age for
the first film we’re analyzing today, The Croods! There’s only one villain in this film, and it
is the beastly Chunky! Chunky only has one thing on his mind through almost the entirety of this
movie: to eat the Croods! He tries multiple times throughout the film to eat the family,
and does at the very least attack them a few times, making him guilty of both assault and
attempted murder. Neither one of those are charges you’d want to have, and the two of
them combined could easily send Chunky to the kennel for a very long time, but luckily for him,
he does change by the end of the film. When it appears that Gurg has died after sacrificing
himself for his family, he is greeted by Chunky inside a cave. The two then become allies as
they work to find a way out of the cave, and by the end of the film, Chunky is no longer
interested in eating the family. It’s this change of heart that greatly lessens Chunky’s punishment,
as he can now enjoy a simple pardon! Without Chunky, Gurg would have most likely perished,
as would many of the animals that the pair ended up helping get to safety. While yes,
he did try to eat them, that was born more out of a need to survive than for the thrill of the hunt,
so we believe it’d be unfair to punish him for that. It doesn’t make it right, but it does make
it understandable. No need to send this guy into the cage, as by the end of the film, Chunky proves
that he is a good…well, whatever he is! CRIMES: Assault, Attempted Murder
SENTENCING: Pardoned The race is on as we strap in to look at the
next film on the docket for today, 2013’s Turbo! Speeding into this slot is none other than the
accomplished racer Guy Gagne! At first, Guy Gagyne seems like a pretty nice guy. Just take a glance
at his accomplishments! He’s a talented driver, and it’s that skill that makes him
Turbo’s hero. But as the old saying goes, “Never meet your heroes”, and unfortunately for Turbo,
that’s a lesson he has to learn the hard way. When the two finally meet face-to-face at the Indy 500,
Gagne does give Turbo the chance to partake in the competition, only for him to make it clear that he
will take out the fast-paced snail. Clearly, Guy only wanted Turbo in the race so he could have a
true challenge. Like any bad-natured racer, Guy Gagne commits an act of cheating when he causes
a crash that totals most of the other cars in the race, and injures Turbo. He even tries to
kill poor Turbo after this, as he is that obsessed with being the winner. He attempts to step on
the snail, but to no avail. Guy Gagne is a man who’s as evil as he is egotistical,
and it’s those elements of his character that gets him 15 years in jail. A bad
sport in every sense of the word, we can only hope those fifteen years will inspire
Gagne to be a bit fairer to his fellow racers. Oh, who are we kidding? We’re sure
he’ll be as narcissistic then as he is now! CRIMES: Attempted Murder, Cheating
SENTENCING: 15 Years in Prison How about we take a stroll right into a time
machine? That’s right, the next film we’re looking at is Mr. Peabody and Sherman!
Class is officially in session, as Ms. Grunion has entered the building! Ms. Grunion is your typical
snobby and uptight teacher we’ve seen in countless pieces of media, except quite possibly taken to a
whole new level of awful. She absolutely detests both Peabody and Sherman, and wants nothing but
the worst for both of them. She is particularly focused on getting Sherman sent back to some
sort of orphanage, which we think definitely constitutes child abuse. Later on in the movie,
she gets Mr. Peabody into trouble when he bites her after she tries to take Sherman. This prompts
her to call the police, who take the canine to the pound. This means she’s also guilty of animal
cruelty. Man, is there anybody she’s willing to be nice towards? Probably not, and it's that demeanor
that helps put her behind bars for 20 years! Let us just say that this is a teacher in dire
need of some out-of-school suspension, and with that, we leave this unlikable individual behind!
CRIMES: Animal Cruelty, Child Abuse SENTENCING: 20 Years in Prison
Of course, Ms. Grunion is far from the only enemy Peabody and Sherman create during the course of
their time-travel adventure. Another individual who perfectly fits that bill is King Tut’s
right-hand man, Ay! Shortly after Sherman and Penny arrive in ancient Egypt, Ay wastes no
time mentioning his plans to sacrifice Penny as part of a ritual. When Sherman and Mr. Peabody
attempt to stop this, the two are tossed into a tomb. Right off the bat, Ay is guilty of attempted
murder and false imprisonment. Ay is only briefly seen after this, but even so, that’s quite a set
of crimes to have attached to your name. Remember, he tried to kill a child! Not only that, but while
most villains we’ve covered in this series are merely fictitious, Ay is an interesting
case in that he’s based on a real person. Because of that, we can try him not only by what he does
in the film, but also by what he did in our world. The nonfiction version of Ay is widely believed to
have usurped the throne from his nephew King Tut, adding another charge to his criminal list. Some
historians will even argue that it was Ay who killed Tut, but as that has never been one hundred
percent confirmed, we’ll hold off on charging him for that. Still, whether you’re looking at his
animated or real-life counterpart, Ay is a fellow who you’re better off not trusting, and it’s that
nature that gives him a lifetime behind bars. We hope he enjoys the feeling of being stuck inside
an Egyptian sarcophagus, because it’s the only place he’ll be calling home for a long, long time!
CRIMES: Attempted Murder, False Imprisonment, Usurpation
SENTENCING: Life Sentence Rounding out the trio of
villains from this film, let’s swap out Egypt for France as we take a look at Maximilien de
Robespierre! Now try saying that name five times fast! A politician who is guilty of corruption,
one of the very first things he tries to do after encountering the time-traveling duo of Peabody and
Sherman is to execute them! Geez, even Ay held off a bit before trying to sacrifice Penny! But
while they manage to escape the guillotine, that doesn’t mean he’s unwilling to take matters into
his own hands. He soon finds himself dueling Mr. Peabody, showing that he really does want to see
both of these individuals murdered. This doesn’t just count as attempted murder, however. Since
Mr. Peabody is a dog after all, we can also go ahead and label this as an act of animal cruelty.
Because of all of these numerous offenses, we believe it is best if this Robespierre
meets the same fate his real-life counterpart did: execution! And, just like his historical version,
he’ll likely meet this fate through the same method most did at that time, the guillotine. In
all honesty, the Peabody and Sherman version of Maximilien doesn’t have
a lot in common with his real-world version, but they do at least have that!
CRIMES: Attempted Murder, Animal Cruelty, Corruption
SENTENCING: Death Penalty It’s time to wrap this video up
as we return to Berk for a second time to look at the villains of 2014’s How to Train Your Dragon 2!
First up here is arguably the most ruthless villain of everyone here today, Drago Bludvist!
In essence, Bludvist is a warlord in every sense of the word. He wants everyone, from dragons to
Vikings to anything between, to become a follower to him. Those who refuse to do so will face either
slavery or certain destruction. Bludvist will gladly kill anyone who stands in his way. He’s
killed many characters throughout his life, and was also partially responsible for the demise
of Stoick when he kidnaps Toothless. When he finally makes his way to Berk, he makes it clear
quickly that he wants to take over the land, and wastes no time to begin destroying the village.
This is an example of not only usurpation, but also terrorism. Had it not been for the timely
arrival of Hiccup, it’s very possible nobody would have been able to stop his conquest of Berk,
the first step in his plans for world domination. And if you think Drago is kind to his followers,
think again. He has no problem abusing them, like the hunter Eret, who he strangles almost to the
point of death. We’ll also go ahead and add a war crime charge to Drago’s list of offenses.
If you’re trying to take over the entire world, we think it’s more than justified! A despicable
villain with a heart full of only hate, Bludvist represents a danger to Vikings and dragons alike,
and more than deserves the death penalty. For a Viking, this punishment would be enforced
through a method known as the “bloody eagle”, which involves many of the individuals' organs
being ripped out of their body. Trust us when we say it’s one of the more extreme renditions of the
penalty we’ve explored, and that’s saying a lot! CRIMES: Terrorism, Usurpation, Murder,
Slavery, War Crimes SENTENCING: Death Penalty
Last but most certainly not least, we have the dragon hunter Eret! Already from that
brief character description, we can tell he’s committed a few instances of animal cruelty,
but that’s not all he does! As a member of Drago’s army, he aids him in many of his quests,
making him yet another fellow guilty of aiding and abetting. However, Eret isn’t nearly as evil or as
menacing as Bludvist was. After Drago attempts to kill him for failing once again, the dragon
Stormfly manages to rescue Eret and save his life. From that point on, Eret begins to befriend the
dragons, and becomes a loyal ally to Hiccup in his battle against Drago. He even manages to get
some revenge on Drago and his beast during the film’s climactic battle. When Drago is defeated,
he becomes the owner of Stoick’s dragon, and continues to be a hero in sequels and spin-off
media. Since he only has two criminal charges and spends most of the franchise as a friend rather
than a foe, Eret manages to get out of this whole ordeal with only a pardon! Eret shows that he’s
mended his ways, and unlike a lot of villains who are only redeemed at the end of the film,
we get a lot of time to spend with Eret as a hero. Eret also gets the chance throughout the series
to better his relationship with the dragons, essentially atoning for his past as a dragon
hunter. In the end, this is one Viking who has learned to better himself, and because of that, we
see no reason to further punish him. Frankly, his abuse at the hands of Drago was punishment enough!
CRIMES: Aiding and Abetting, Animal Cruelty SENTENCING: Pardoned
