Stupid Evil: Difference between revisions

* Evil Bill and Evil Ted from ''[[Bill and Ted (film)|Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey]]''. They try to run down cats while steering their time-traveling phone booth, [[For the Evulz|just because]]. Of course, they ''are'' [[Evil Knockoff|evil duplicates]] of the [[Stupid Good]] heroes, so it's no wonder.

** Ego the Living Planet from ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (film)|Guardians of the Galaxy, vol. 2]]''. His goal was to destroy all mortal life in the universe in order to become the dominant species. Yeah, no-one's really certain what he'd do after that. Not only is this a stupid plan, it makes very little sense, as: he previously claimed to be lonely, the reason he fell in love with a mortal woman.

** Thanos from ''[[Avengers: Infinity War]]'' and ''[[Avengers: Endgame]]''. For most of his career, the Mad Titan (who truly deserves that title, no matter how sick he gets of hearing it) considered himself a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] and [[Necessary Evil]] who claimed the only true way to save mortals from doing themselves in was to reduce populations of inhabited worlds. Gaining the Infinity Gauntlet gave him god-like power, able to complete his goal with a snap of his finger, but also made him the most hated and reviled man in the cosmos, as survivors had to watch family and loved ones turn to dust. He never considered that, maybe he could abandon his original plans and instead use this omnipotent power to, say, construct more livable planets and heal existing ones, while providing them with infinite supplies of food and drinkable water. He'd have been viewed as a heroic savior instead of the horrific villain he became. [[Word of God]] has indeed admitted that Thanos is [[Hypocrite|not as well-intentioned as he claims]], and is desperately trying to prove that his previous plan could work to the point where it blinded him to all better options. {{spoiler|This is proven in the second movie, when he stops pretending to care for anyone but himself and attempts to destroy the universe so he can remake it into one where people will be forced to be grateful to him.}}

* ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]''; - man, where to begin here?

** King Koopah's evil plan is to merge ''his'' world with ''ours'' so he could conquer it. Assuming this didn't cause ''two'' [[Earthshattering Kaboom]]s, ''his'' world has only one settlement, Dinohattan, meaning he'd be facing off against multiple armies with his limited forces. This includes the police of Dinohattan, who are overworked, understaffed, and speakingincompetent; ofKoopa's enforcers, the woefully stupid Goombahs which were ''purposely'' made so via devolution; and his cousins Iggy and Spike, whom he trust to get the [[MacGuffin]] he needs ''after'' the two morons kidnap the wrong girl ''five times'' before managing to grab Daisy...

* [[Big Bad|Serone]] from ''[[Anaconda]]''. This guy wanted to capture the eponymous reptile alive so he could sell it, using the rest of the cast as bait. Not thatThough this was likely, given how dangerous it was, but even if he ''had'' trapped it, how in world would he have ''transported'' it?

* InBelloq and [[Those Wacky Nazis]] in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]'', Belloqfit andthe [[Thosebill Wackyin Nazis]]some ways that are thisnot forunlike athe varietyactual ofNazi reasons:regime.

** First, Belloq lookingalso attempts to look into the Ark, in order to usebelieving it as a conduit to God. You’dHowever, thinkthe someoneBible whoalso claims to be an expert archaeologist would do some research into suchdetails a valuablepunishment artifact;for ifthat hewithin did,the he’dsame knowbook thatas [[Thethe Bible]] says,above: "But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they looked into the Ark of the Lord. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the Lord had dealt them." (<ref>Samuel 6:19)</ref> Indy, haswho indeed''has'' done the research, tells Marion not to look, and thus theyboth are spared whileas Belloq and the Nazis die horribly. Of course, as Indy would attest, Belloq is more a glorified thief than an “expert archaeologist".

** OnOf topcourse, ofBelloq that,is whilemore Belloqa doesglorified dressthief likethan aan priest“expert archaeologist", as Indy would attest: though he ismakes obviouslya nottoken one,attempt andto dress like a priest, he''iss not even Jewish'', ''let alone'' a Kohen Levite (- [[Only the Worthy May Pass|they are the only tribeones among the priesthood permitted to serveeven carry the Ark]], and as priests).the [[OnlyBook theof WorthyNumbers]] detailed, even ''they'' would die if they touched it. d May Pass|Without any actual Kohanim present]], any attempt to open the Ark is a fool's game. On that note, as the Nazis are a genocidal regime bent on exterminating the Jewish people, any attempt to use their artifacts - much less a Biblical artifact of ''this'' nature - as a [[Weapon of Mass Destruction]] easily registers as a ludicrous idea.
