Line 99:
** The Horned King from ''[[The Black Cauldron]]'' was one of the scariest villains in Disney history, but he sure wasn't one the smartest. If he had simply told a small fraction of the undead horde he had created to guard the eponymous cauldron, things might well have turned out differently. Instead, he leaves it completely unguarded, letting poor Gurgi get close enough to [[Heroic Sacrifice| throw himself into it]] and destroy its evil power.
** In ''[[Frozen (Disney film)|Frozen]]'', Hans is delighted when Anna shows up at the castle, having nearly frozen to death, blaming her condition on Elsa - once Anna perishes, he can (legitimately) blame Anna's death on Elsa, dispose of her, and becoming King with ease. But [[Bond Villain Stupidity| he makes a rookie mistake]] - not making sure Anna dies before leaving to tell everyone she is dead. He doesn't even post a guard at the door, and Olaf of all people is able to break in and free her.
** In ''[[Pocahontas]]'', gold obsessed Governor Ratcliffe thinks the natives are hiding some giant horde.
While most of his troops aren't too keen on the whole “wealth is worth genocide” idea, Ratcliffe does convince them to attack the tribe after the chief sentences John Smith to die. However, when the attack is halted after the heroine persuades her father not to kill Smith, Ratcliffe decides to... shoot Smith. He probably wasn't ''aiming'' at Smith (more likely, he was aiming at the chief, only for Smith to dive in front and [[Taking the Bullet|take the bullet]]) but shooting the man you had claimed you were intending to save, in front of his fellow soldiers... suffice to say he may as well have shot himself in the foot.
* In most settings with superheroes, the cape is a common fashion accessory; however, in the setting of ''[[The Incredibles]]'', this accessory is often a lethal hazard for the occupation. Costume designer Edna Mode refuses to add this feature to any of her designs, sternly warning Mr. Incredible by describing the ugly deaths of supers who ignored this warning. Despite this, Syndrome - an [[Evil Genius]] who builds technology bordering on [[Applied Phlebotinum]] - puts one on his villain-costume, and in the climax of the movie, fares no better.
