Special:Badtitle/NS90:Talk:Complete Monster/Western Animation/Chester V and Rumpelstiltskin/reply (5)

He actually has more resources than Rumple had to start with (prior to making his deal with Shrek and after the effects are undone, Rumple's a pretty poor guy who can only gain power, privilege, and resources through corrupt magic deals) and while his actions put him over the Moral Event Horizon, everything in the film is too blatantly cartoony for him to reach the same depths of evil as, say, Rourke from Atlantis, who also tried to commit genocide for more money and who actually killed people.

All in all, Chester is a despicable but comedic and cartoonish villain in a comedic and cartoonish work whose villainy, while terrible, is not enough to dramatically alter the light tone of the film, and who doesn't even any successful crimes in his rap sheet beyond the attempts. He just doesn't make the cut, period.
