Plot Irrelevant Villain: Difference between revisions

Line 60:
* Peyo's original comic book version of ''[[The Smurfs]]'' story "The Astrosmurf" had [[No Antagonist]]; the cartoon adaptation, however, put Gargamel in it for some scenes, trailing the Smurfs with a crystal ball to give an added risk of Dreamy Smurf catching onto the plan; he was driven away quickly, and really wasn't necessary for the story as a whole.
* The [[Big Bad]] in ''[[The Little Mermaid (animation)| The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea]]'' is by Ursula's "crazy sister" Morgana, who wants to kidnap Ariel's daughter because... ah... well, cause she's evil. Maybe there was ''some'' suggestion it was over revenge, but to be frank, she was little more than a thinner version of Ursula. Rather than simply concoct some way for Ursula to have survived the first film, they came up with this entirely unnecessary sibling. But then, it wasn't a very good movie overall.
* Ernie the Giant Chicken on ''[[Family Guy]]''; the long, drawn-out fights between him and Peter are almost never relevant to the plot and done with [[Rule of Funny]] in mind.
