Squid Game was the most viewed show on Netflix after it was released,
and it became wildly popular, for good reason. Well, Squid Game is quite popular with us
as well, because it brings up a lot of interesting ideas. So that why we asked,
after Disney Villains, how would Dreamworks’ lineup handle the Squid Games?
I’m Caleb with WickedBinge. And today, we’re going to find out:
Which Dreamworks Villain Would Win The Squid Games?
So, much like the Disney list, we have a few rules to talk about for this list. Due to Dreamworks’
propensity for animal villains, we are allowing animal villains as long as they are bipedal and
have something similar to human consciousness. The villains also have to be close to human size, so
sadly General Mandible doesn’t count. Secondly, no immortal villains as they wouldn’t be able to die
in this game. We are also only talking about full-length theatrical released
animated villains for this list. Finally, all villains enter the games with no powers,
weapons, or enhancements, putting them all on the evenest playing field possible.
The players of today’s Squid Games are the following: Rameses,
Tzekel-Kan, Mrs. Tweedy, Lord Farquaad, The Colonel, The Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming,
Lord Victor Quartermaine, Vincent, Layton T. Montgomery,
Tai Lung, Makunga, Gallaxhar, Rumpelstiltskin, Tighten, Lord Shen, Humpty Dumpty, Chantel DuBois,
Pitch Black, Guy Gagne, Ms. Grunion, Drago Bludvist, Captain Smek, Chef, Francis E. Francis,
Professor Poopypants, Grimmel The Grisly, Dr. Zara, Hendricks, and Dr. Erwin Armstrong
Now that we have the rules and our players out of the way,
we now start with our first game Red Light, Green Light.
To survive in the game of Red Light, Green Light, there’s a couple of things that might help you.
Firstly, a level head is required to stay safe, because only those with a
level head would be able to stay still when shots start to ring out. Secondly,
being able to listen and comprehend the rules and then follow them as to not die.
Some stand-out survivors of this game include but are not limited to; Melisha Tweedy who despite her
temper is quite level-headed and seems to be a good enough listener. Colonel George Custer
is militarily trained which means he is quite level-headed and has amazing listening skills,
making him a shoo-in. Chantel DuBois is slightly deranged but otherwise level-headed with amazing
listening skills that she needs to hunt down animals, and Grimmel the Grisly is very
level-headed with amazing listening skills that make him one of the biggest threats in this game.
But, not everyone can survive this game, such as us sadly eliminating Rameses.
Rameses is the pharaoh of Egypt and is stubborn, obstinate, and headstrong,
making him hard-pressed to survive in a game such as this, where those traits are not great.
Also, not a survivor Captain Smek also dies during this game. Smek was the captain of the
Boov but is highly foolish and not that great of a listener to any degree. He doesn’t survive
because his foolishness and lack of a level head cause him to quickly fall behind in this game.
The final villain in this section to die in this game is The Chef,
a Bergen who does exactly what her job title entails. She’s gone heavily deranged
due to her failure to cook and serve the trolls, which wouldn’t help in this game.
While her listening skills are average, her sheer unhinged mind definitely costs her the game.
We still have 27 of our original 30 participating in our next game,
that, of course, being The Honeycombs.
The honeycomb cookie challenge requires two major skills if you wish to surpass it
and survive. Those two skills are the patience required to slowly exhume the shape
from the cookie, and the steady hands required to remove the shape without breaking the cookie.
The villains who are most likely to survive this game include;
Tzekel-Kan who is very patient and is also steady-handed enough to conduct a wide array
of rituals. Lord Victor Quartermaine who’s patient enough to be a skilled hunter and
is steady-handed enough to be a great marksman. Tai Lung who despite his weird paw-hand mixture
is masterfully patient and has a masterfully steady hand, and Pitch Black who was patient
enough to wait thousands of years and seems to have a steady hand.
Sadly, we have to see Melisha Tweedy go,
who did pretty well in the last game. She is not a patient individual, in the slightest,
and while she seems to have a steady hand to some degree, her lack of patience really kills her.
Another individual we see go is Vincent. Now, Vincent is relatively patient,
however, where he fails is his big fat bear paws,
he doesn’t even have anthropomorphized style hands, he just has big fat bear paws. Due
to the lack of an opposable thumb, even with his semi-skilled hands, he wouldn’t survive.
Sadly we have to also see Tighten go during this game. This is mostly due to his overwhelming
strength and generally idiocy he would probably break the cookie upon grabbing the cookie.
But not only that, he isn’t very patient, as evidenced by his lack of patience with his crush
Roxanne. He may have a steady hand, but it is still a heavy one, which may cause him problems.
Finally, The lion Makunga falls in a similar category. His lion
biology and lack of opposable thumb already bring him down
severely. Add on top of that he’s not a very patient individual, he definitely fails this game.
With 23 of our original 30 still around,
we now get to the next game on the list The Midnight Brawl.
The Midnight Brawl happens in between the Honeycomb cookies and Tug of War, consisting of
most of the contestants battling and killing each other to get ahead in the game. To survive the
Midnight Brawl, you must be proficient in one of three areas. You are either a great hand-to-hand
combatant who can handle a large group of enemies at one time. Are highly intelligent and know how
to successfully avoid others or have skills in Stealth and are able to hide from your opponents.
Some of the choice survivors in this game include but are not limited to;
Lord Farquaad who is highly intelligent and also a skilled swordfighter and hand-to-hand combatant.
Gallaxhar is highly intelligent and a skilled hand-to-hand combatant in both
group and singular duels. Rumpelstiltskin who’s sneaky and conniving ways mixed with
his intelligence makes him a threat to be reckoned with.
Finally, Lord Shen is highly intelligent and has above-average skills as a hand-to-hand combatant.
The first to go does mostly by process of elimination,
that being Prince Charming. Charming is egotistical and relatively smart,
so we’re not taking that away from him, and while he is a relatively skilled fighter,
he is heavily outclassed by most of the other villains in the games.
The insect-hating lawyer Layton T. Montgomery is the next to go. Montgomery is a lawyer,
so his intelligence is not in question here. However,
due to his stature, he’s not very good at hiding and he’s not shown to be a combatant
in any capacity. Those facts combined mean he’s not getting away from this brawl.
The next villain to go during this game is Guy Gagne who is not a combatant,
which already puts him at a disadvantage. But combine the fact that he’s only average
in both stealth and intelligence, and he’s not making it out of this game.
We’re also seeing Ms. Grunion die in this game. Grunion is much like the previous entrants,
not really a combatant, add that to her large stature making it hard to be stealthy and her
only average intelligence, it means she’s unlikely to survive this game.
The final villain to die during this game is Hendricks.
Hendricks is a newer villain on our list and is just sort of average across the board. He’s
a big guy but isn’t really a combatant and is of average intelligence. But like Grunion and
Montgomery, he’s a big guy which makes it hard for him to hide, hence why he doesn’t survive.
We are left with 18 of our original 30 when we come upon our next game, that being Tug of War.
In Tug of War, there are two things required if you wish to win. You need the strength to pull the
rope against the others, and the teamwork that can be used to pull the rope even better. Now,
none of these villains will be in specific teams but we are assuming they are in some unknown team.
Stand-out survivors of this game include the ever-present Tai Lung, whose intense strength
outweighs his lack of team skills. Gallaxhar is more than willing to work on a team and has
above-average human strength. Chantel DuBois has near-superhuman strength and Dr. Erwin
is a team player with average human strength. Sadly, the first villain to go during this game
is Lord Farquaad. It’s no surprise he dies in this game, because not only is he nearly
unable to work in a team but his short stature doesn’t help in the strength category.
Another Shrek Villain, The Fairy Godmother also has to go.
She already has below-average strength due to her age and stature, but she’s also not one
who likes working in a team. Combine these two things and you’re set up for failure.
The Boogeyman, Pitch Black is also eliminated during this game.
This is due to his complete lack of wishing to work in a team.
He doesn’t work well in a team and only has average strength, so it’s no wonder he goes down.
Crazed scientist, Professor Poopypants also ends up down at the bottom. This is because he already
has a severe lack of strength, but he is also not a team player at least not in this continuity.
Finally, we’re also dropping Dr. Zara from the list. This is due to her lack of strength,
owing to her smarts rather than her strength. She does however seem likely to work on a team,
but it’s hard to tell, especially considering her lack of strength.
We now have only 13 of our original 30 villains left in the games,
we now move on to The Marble Game.
Winning the Marble Game requires one skill,
the ability to manipulate others. Those who are master manipulators are shoo-ins to win,
and those who are easily manipulated are highly unlikely to survive.
The master manipulators likely to survive are; Rumpelstiltskin, for
obvious reasons, Lord Shen who’s quite the villainous manipulator,
and Humpty Alexander Dumpty being able to manipulate Puss in Boots relatively easily.
The first to go is Colonel Custer
who may be an all-around threat but he severely lacks in the manipulation category. He doesn’t
even seem that hard to manipulate which means he definitely does not win this game.
Next to go is Lord Victor Quartermaine who is very similar to Custer in a few regards.
He lacks skills in the manipulation category, although he is a relatively good liar,
so that helps a bit. However, he also seems rather easy to manipulate, which causes his death.
The next villain to go is none other than Chantel DuBois. Chantel is a threat in most
categories but definitely falls short on the manipulative side of things. She is a bit hard
to manipulate, but her lack of manipulation skills is the nail in the coffin for her.
Finally, we have to see Drago Bludvist go. This is mostly due to his severe
lack of skill in manipulation, although he is quite hard to manipulate,
it is hard to win if you can’t manipulate.
That leaves us down to the final 9 surviving villains as we move
into the second-to-last game The Glass Bridge.
To survive the Glass Bridge is a hard thing to figure out. But it seems like
it comes down to two things, your Ego and the likelihood you can tell tempered glass
from regular glass. Your Ego also determines which number you would pick
which may spell the difference between life and death for the villains.
The first to go is Tzekel-Kan. Kan is weird because while he has an ego,
it’s not massive and is actually much less than some others,
but due to the fact that he has enough of an ego to pick a high number, he’d probably fall.
A massive ego on our list is Tai Lung. Tai Lung feels that he is the true
dragon warrior and calls himself as such, due to this it’s no surprise he would pick
a high number. He may be one of few who would actually fight to pick number one.
A big head with a similarly big ego, up next is Gallaxhar. He has probably the second-biggest
ego on this list, right behind Tai Lung. His big ego is definitely what throws him under the bus,
even if he may be able to tell the difference between the glasses.
The other Kung Fu Panda villain, Lord Shen, goes next on our list. Shen has
a high enough ego to slay every panda just because of a prophecy and the thought that
no one should or could surpass him. So, yeah, he definitely dies here.
Previous baby Francis E. Francis is next on the list. This is due to his ego, obviously,
he was egotistical enough to think that because he couldn’t stay a baby,
puppies needed to surpass them. So, he definitely fails during this game and crashes to the bottom.
We’re also dropping Rumpelstiltskin onto our list. This is because he has a pretty large ego,
especially when you consider how he became emperor of Far Far Away.
It’s no surprise his ego would destroy him in this game.
By process of elimination, we’re also adding Dr. Erwin Armstrong to the list.
He has an average ego, but this is overshadowed by the fact that he hates the word “NO”
so much that he disguised himself as an old man to train babies to kill people. So,
he fails this game, guess that’s a no for him.
We’re now down to our final two as they face off against each other in the titular Squid Game.
Winning the Squid Game eventually comes down to one-on-one combat. The more
skilled you are in One on One combat the more likely you are to survive.
The survivors of the previous game and the two who face each other now
are Humpty Alexander Dumpty and Grimmel The Grisly, which is undoubtedly an easy choice.
The loser of this game is none other than Humpty Dumpty.
Despite his intense intelligence and his manipulative skills, he just doesn’t stand
a chance against someone as ruthless as Grimmel the Grisly, it’s even in the name.
Unlike the Disney Villains, these ones were more well-rounded and were a lot harder to figure out.
This made decisions for them hard,
but in the end Grimmel The Grisly is the villain most likely to survive Squid Game.

Games. And if you enjoyed this video, make sure to watch our Disney Villain version... Remember
