Fashion Victim Villain: Difference between revisions

* The parody crossover ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/53202/1/Harry_Potter_in_the_Realm_of_Dungeons_and_Dragons Harry Potter in the Realm of Dungeons and Dragons]'' plays with this. [[Harry Potter|Harry, Ron and Hermione]] wind up in the realm of the animated show ''[[Dungeons and Dragons (animation)|Dungeons and Dragons]]'', where much amusement is gotten from the fact that the D&D kids regularly face off with "a one-horned devil in an evening gown".

* In [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7295884/1/Mao_Grou this] [[Kung Fu Panda]] fanfic, ''everyone'' (yes, even the [[Villain Protagonist|protagonists]]) is a Fashion Victim Villain. The biggest offender is, probably fittingly enough, {{spoiler|Josef Stalin}}.

* ''[[Queen of All Oni]]'': Minor villain [[Smug Snake|Lung]], at least in the opinion of Tarakudo. And since the former's described as looking like "[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Ming The Merciless']] Goth cousin", the latter may have a point. And in addition to clothes, Tarakudo also derides Lung's choice of lair, viewing his abandoned, ancient, cliffside fortress as an unoriginal cliche.

 

** Patel is deliberately portrayed as a typical over-the-top Bollywood villain.

* Even for the 80s, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QObDZUscd4k Velvet Von Ragnar], played by Gene Simmons from the movie ''[[Never Too Young to Die]]'', had hilariously bad fashion sense.

** Damodar becomes the [[Big Bad]] in the sequel, somehow losing his badassery.

* In ''[[Zoolander]]'', Mugatu looks like an unholy mixture of Satan, Cruella DeVille, and a poodle. He also inexplicably dresses up as a young German boy during the brainwashing scene.

== Literature ==

* Esmé Squalor in ''[[A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' is an extreme example.

* One goblin villain in the Drizzt Do'Urden series combined this with [[Rummage Sale Reject]]—all his clothing was scavenged at random off slain humans, and he had no idea what went with what. For that matter, he had no idea that bras are female-only.

* [[War of the Dreaming|Azrael de Gray]], [[Evil Sorcerer]] and [[Fish Out of Temporal Water]]. Also known as "That guy in the pimp jewelry."

 

== Pro Wrestling ==

* Damien Demento, especially his hairy Venus flytrap shoulder pads.

* When [[Goldust]] [[Face Heel Turn|turned back to heel at one point]], he became [[The Trope Formerly Known as X|The Artist Formerly Known As Goldust]], who wore [http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/1346/goldust3vt2.jpg garish, disturbing outfits].

** Team Rocket grunts in ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'' have pink hair. All of them.

** [[Pokémon Black and White|Team Plasma]] has their agents dressed like Crusade-era knights, complete with Chi Rho on their chest cloth. A few folks on the internet think of them as Renaissance Faire rejects.

* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120720012752/http://www.talesonline.net/symphonia/yggdrasil.jpg Yggdrasil] in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]''. It's a jumpsuit. Also, it is extremely disco and leaves absolutely nothing whatsoever to the imagination. [[Viewer Gender Confusion|Except his gender.]]

* Almost everyone from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'', but special care must be taken to name Shinnok, Quan-Chi, Sindel, Shang Tsung in MK3, Kano in MK3, and many others. For some reason they don't seem so goofy in the game (except Shang Tsung and his dorky fighting stance), but if you've ever seen pictures of the actors wearing their actual costumes, it is very hard not to laugh. Most of the Earth Realm warrior look rather normal, particularly dressed down characters like Lu Kang and Johnny Cage. Unless doing everything shirtless counts. Sonya, and the ninjas (well, male ninjas anyway) also look rather normal.
