Plot Irrelevant Villain: Difference between revisions

** Tellingly, in the original poem (found on the blu-ray [[So Cool Its Awesome|narrated by]] [[Christopher Lee]]) Oogie Boogie doesn't appear at all despite the rest of the poem following the movie point to point.

* Humma Kavula from the ''[[The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy (film)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' movie. Oh yes. He's given little [[Backstory]], his motives are only hinted at, and seems to exist only to push for the inclusion of the [[MacGuffin]] used to save the day at the end. No doubt if sequels were made he'd have a larger role, but sequels seem unlikely at this point. And the most aggravating point is that the movie already ''had'' villains! Do the Vogons chasing Zaphod for kidnapping the President (himself) and stealing a ship not count?

* The closest ''[[Madagascar]]'' has to a villain are the fossa - but they are a menace that hardly appears. The major conflict is both the protagonists being stranded in a strange place, and the sole carnivore of them [[Warm Bloodbags Are Everywhere|becoming hungry]].

 

* Midboss from ''[[Disgaea]]'': Laharl even named him Midboss because he was a seemingly unimportant villain, and he continually returns to antagonize Laharl's troupe for no apparent real reason. Subverted when it's reveled that {{spoiler|he was helping the seraph's [[Batman Gambit]] by monitoring Laharl and co. to make sure everything was going according to plan.}}

* In the ''[[Spider-Man]]'' games, Shocker qualifies. Almost every other villain has an important role in the story to some extent. Shocker is just there to get his ass whupped and not make a single contribution to the story.

* To an extent, ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'' has Bane: he shows up once to fight Batman and gets taken down immediately, unlike the other villains who all come back at least once. His indirect role in the plot, however, is much greater: {{spoiler|Joker plans to use a deriative of the [[Psycho Serum|Venom]] formula in his blood to make rampaging monsters out of all of Gotham.}}
