Stupid Evil: Difference between revisions

* Adam, the [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Hazbin Hotel]]''. Granted, he is a decent fighter and field leader, and a dire threat to demon-kind, but that is clearly not due to his intellect. Sure, he managed to convince Sera (with [[The Dragon| Lute’s]] help) that it was in her best interests to continue the annual purges, but his big problem is, this is marred by his arrogant, impulsive, egotistical attitude. In layman's terms, he wants to solve every problem ''immediately'' as it comes up, and ''always'' the way ''he'' believes he should, reasons and possible consequences be damned. In episode 6, when he sees Charlie and Vaggie and in Heaven, he wants to assault them right then and there, [[Straight Man|Lute]] having to hold him back while reminding him of [[Captain Obvious| the possible consequences of assaulting two guests in front of dozens of witnesses]]. Even worse, later in the same episode, his big mouth reveals the entire conspiracy to the rest of Heaven, which is specifically what Sera had told him ''not'' to do just a few scenes earlier. Eventually, this impulsiveness is what does him in when, during the season one finale, he decides to attack the hotel itself, breaking a deal made with Lucifer, and enabling the now-angry King of Hell to come after him with no restraint.

* In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987 series)|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' Baxter Stockman was never the model of intelligence or lucidity to begin with, but he seems to get worse with each appearance. In “Revenge of the Fly”, [[Evil Versus Evil| his anger towards Shredder and Krang is well-justified]], but his desire to make everyone in the world suffer by using Mutagen on them is [[Misplaced Retribution]], the repercussions of a city full of mutated insect people never occurring to him. This is even lampshaded by Stockman himself halfway through the episode, where he rants, “Yes! I must destroy the Turtles because of… uh… because of whatever I’m mad at them about!” Such is his lack of foresight, he deals with Shredder and Krang by locking them in a closet full of barrels of chemicals (Krang is a master chemist who invented mutagen; while it takes a few tries, he manages to jury rig a device they can use to break out), he turns Vernon into a mutant spider (it is very easy for the heroes to get him to side with them by reminding him that spiders eat flies), and worst of all, for him, he is trapped in "dimensional limbo" again, and this time, [[Fate Worse Than Death| never returns.]]
