Minion with an F In Evil: Difference between revisions

* Whitey, the large albino rat from ''[[Flushed Away]]'', who comes across more as a [[Gentle Giant]] than anything.

* Fezzik, from ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]''.

'''Fezzik:''' My way is not very sportsman-like. }}

* Zangief from ''[[Street Fighter (film)|Street Fighter]]'' probably fits this. He has a [[Heel Face Turn]] when someone informs him that Bison is the bad guy.

* Dug in ''[[Up (animation)|Up]]'' before his [[Heel Face Turn]]

* Hopper's brother Molt in ''[[A Bug's Life|A Bugs Life]]''. While Hopper is malicious, cunning and depraved, Molt is... not.

* Jenner's best friend and minion Sullivan from ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]'' isn't really a bad guy at all, he just didn't choose his friends wisely. When Jenner plots to kill Nicodemus and Mrs. Brisby's children he objects to this, which leads to his [[Heel Face Turn]]. Unfortunately, before he can officially join the heroes, he is stabbed in the back and mortally wounded by Jenner for interfering with his plans... but before he expires he pulls a [[Redemption Equals Death]] when he throws a dagger into Jenner's back and kills him... with his last dying breath.

* From ''[[Tombstone]]'' - [[Mc Masters]], Texas Jack Vermillion, and Turkey Creek Jack Johnson don't mind robbin' and stealin', but don't like messin' with the women for the evulz. Also Deputy Billy Breckinridge thinks there has to be some law.

* Joxer's first appearance in ''[[Xena: Warrior Princess]]'' had him working for the villain Callisto. Gabrielle pointed out that he just wasn't cut out for evil. He later pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]], becoming an earnest (and somewhat less incompetent) hero.

** Ares' bumbling sidekick Strife, despite being a god, was a similarly incompetent character who never really caused trouble or meant anyone harm, and was constantly bullied and insulted by Ares for it. Ares did mourn for Strife, though, after Callisto killed him with a god-slaying weapon...

* Post-vamping, [[Brainless Beauty]] Harmony of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' wanders into this trope a lot. Most famously when she deeply apologizes for not noticing a "No Smoking" sign. She wants to be evil, but like [[The Ditz|everything else]], she's just really bad at it.

* Rusty the Tow Truck in the preschool series ''[[The Big Garage]]''. In fact, [[Once an Episode|in every single episode]], he always joins the cast for the final song of the episode, and leaves the garage just before the credits roll.

 

** This is also inverted, as the most effective villains in the entire story, by atrocities committed, are the Light Warriors, of whom Fighter is the only actually good member (maybe). He fails to be evil so thoroughly that he [[Horrible Judge of Character|genuinely believes]] that he and his [[Ax Crazy|murderous]], [[Heroic Comedic Sociopath|sociopathic]] friends are the good guys.

** The Light Warriors fall into this a lot--not because they're not evil enough, but because they're too stupid to do it right.

'''[[Ax Crazy|Black Mage]]:''' Uh...<br />

'''[[Meta Guy|Red Mage]]:''' You are the worst mass murderer I have ever met.<br />

* Kronk from ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' doesn't quite get the villainy thing. Not so useful, since he's Yzma's only henchman.

* Mr. Beastly from ''[[Care Bears|The Care Bear Family]]'' would often talk his mind into knots in trying to remind himself that "[[Good Is Bad and Bad Is Good|good is bad and bad is good and...]]".

* Lurky, Murky's flunky, from ''[[Rainbow Brite]]''.

** Now say "Lurky Murky's flunky" five times fast.

* On ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]],'' [[The Eeyore|the Weeper]] nearly managed to destroy a city once, but couldn't when he realized how many innocent lives that would actually take. After thirty years in jail for the attempt, he gets out and [[The Joker]] helps him [[Took a Level In Badass|Take A Level In Badass]]. (This is a stark contrast to his comics counterpart, where his MO was "inflict a [[Cruel and Unusual Death]] on anyone he felt was happier than him, but then "mourn" for them.")

* ''[[My Life as a Teenage Robot]]'': The first time the Space Bikers appear, Tammy lets out a rather nonthreatening [[Battle Cry]] during their [[Big Entrance]].

* [[Brainless Beauty|Lindsay]] and [[Not Good with People|Beth]] to [[Alpha Bitch|Heather]] in ''[[Total Drama Island]]''. Eventually, both [[Backstabbing the Alpha Bitch|betray]] Heather ''epically''.
