WHERE IS MY AXE

bossanovabyss:

I’ve always liked this scene, because I’ve always liked to think that the Twerps and Team Rocket Trio developed a sort of fondness for each other over the years.

If the anime progressed as it should have, with actual character development, then I think this would have happened. Yes, they’re “enemies,” but how many times have the Trio helped the Twerps out? The second movie is a prime example. They were willing (Jesse more willing than the other two) to give their lives to make sure that Ash could save the world. Sure, they survived, but the conversation they have about sacrificing themselves clearly shows that they didn’t think they would. The fact that Ash yelled after them shows that he was worried about them, too. You can’t interact with someone on a near daily basis for however many years without developing some sort of affection for them. Even though the Trio is constantly chasing down Pikachu, I like to think that it’s almost like a game to them at this point; they do it because it’s habit, but not to seriously cause harm. (I mean, they do want to steal Pikachu and turn him over to Giovanni, but they’d never maim or kill the Twerps to do it.)

I also always liked to think that the Trio had a sort of, “WE can screw with them, but if YOU do it your ass is on the line” attitude toward other members of Team Rocket regarding the Twerps, e.g. Butch and Cassidy. Yeah, they have a rivalry with Butch and Cassidy that is separate from that, but the point still stands. The Twerps may be twerps, but they’re the Trio’s twerps, and that’s all there is to it.

That’s how I always liked to think of them, anyway.

I strongly disagree with anyone who says Maleficent isn’t the best Disney villain. No singing, no dancing, no long expositions about her plans, no tolerance for bumbling comedy sidekicks (she electrocutes a whole room full of minions when she finds out they’ve fucked up and spent the last few years searching for a baby), just outright malicious intent.

I mean let’s take a look at her motivations compared to other popular Disney villains:

SCAR - Wanted to become King. 

URSULA - Wanted to rule the seas.

WICKED QUEEN - Wanted to rule as the most beautiful woman in the land.

JAFAR - Wanted to rule in the Sultan’s place and/or obtain ultimate power.

Maleficient, by contrast, didn’t want any of that. She didn’t want more power. She didn’t want fame. She didn’t want to rule. She just wanted to raise hell. This is the woman who decided that every newborn child in the kingdom should die and that the land should be covered in darkness for one reason - SHE WASN’T INVITED TO A MOTHERFUCKING PARTY.

That’s right, the evil bitch basically condemned an entire kingdom to die at her hands because she didn’t get invited to a christening.

This is not a woman with a motivation. She cannot be reasoned with. Her actions cannot be rationalized. She is evil for the fun of being evil, not because she wants something.

THAT, my friends, is the ultimate villain. One who knows they’re evil and LOVES it.
