All Things PixarRankings and lists about films and characters from the studio that brought you mindblowing animation from A Bug's Life to Wall-E, to infinity and beyond.
Over on Twitter, Pixar asked its fans which of its traditional villains were the worst of the bunch? Was it an easy to anger chef with a rodent problem? A strawberry scented bear with control issues? How about pre-teen artist with a love for explosives? This set in motion a debate over which Pixar villain was the absolute worst...and the answers might surprise you.
Here is what happened:
It Started With A Tweet From Pixar, Asking Fans To Rate Their Favorite Villains
Ernesto De La Cruz🙃🙃He stole the entire life of Papa Hector😭. Mama Emelda was hating on Papa Hector without knowing his death! 💔

Ernesto de la Cruz - his old friend wanted to go home, he killed the friend again. Then even in the afterlife, he destroyed (he thought) his old friend's chance to see his family again, and would let a child die to do it. All for fame.
But Then Fans Stated That Though Ernesto Killed His Best Friend, Syndrome from 'The Incredibles' Killed Lots Of Actual Heroes, Thus Making Him Way, Way Worse
All because Mr. Incredible didn’t acknowledged him as a superhero when he was a boy. Then, started killing off other superheroes over the years to plan a scenario where he plays the hero to prove to Mr. Incredible that he can be superhero
Part of me says Syndrome but another part says Muntz cus he’s kinda terrifying. He’s somehow still alive after so many years of searching for a creature and so paranoid that no matter what you’re doing in that forest if he met you he would think you’re after the bird and ya know
de la Cruz, Syndrome and Muntz confirmed to have actually killed humans/supers. Darla killed fish, Sid killed toys. I’d say Muntz since he killed for longer than Syndrome.
Darla and Sid were oblivious. Lotso, Pete, and Syndrome had good ideas, but were delusional in how to achieve them. Skinner was antagonist, but not villain, having different ideals. (Haven't seen TS4 or Coco)
Muntz was the real villain out of these due to his selfishness.

It also didn't help that Muntz was kinda, sorta based on a person that did Walt Disney dirty:
Charles Muntz, the villain in Pixar’s “Up,” is named after real life Disney villain Charles Mintz, who stole Walt Disney’s first creation, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. It's rather uncanny. pic.twitter.com/vOmYyG8VBf

Lesson of the Day:
Do not piss off artists or writers because they just may make you the villain in their next story.
Out of these nine… It has to be 🐻! He made a great place into a prison, destroy any toys that threatened him and was such a higher up that no one could touch him… Also, he had no remorse for his actions!
Lotso is truly evil the beat and word if you get what I mean . He uses his own bad experiences and releases it to others in a diabolical manipulative strategic way and makes it seam as it’s for your own good . Keeps me out I tell you . Some one who looks so nice acts nice is evil
Sid is just a creative kid whose dad is a drunk and ignores him. He's a bit of a jerk to his little sister, but what big brother isn't? He doesn't know the toys are alive until Woody and the gang traumatize him. And he still grows up to be a hard working sanitation engineer.
