JOY is the REAL VILLAIN in INSIDE OUT...

Ever wonder how Riley's life in "Inside Out" almost took a tragic turn because of Joy? Sounds crazy, right? Turns out, Joy, the supposed hero of the film, might just be the hidden villain. Let me break it down. "Inside Out" was a hit for various reasons, exploring both teens' and parents' perspectives. Interestingly, it lacked a traditional villain setup, focusing more on Riley's self-discovery. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Joy, despite her name, wasn't all sunshine. She's possessive and controlling, and she wants Riley to feel only what she dishes out. She treated sadness like an outcast, trying to confine her to a circle of sadness. Joy's intolerance to other emotions and her failure to understand their importance caused a disastrous fight in Riley's mind, which led to Riley's emotional breakdown and accelerated her depression. So, was Joy overrated? Maybe. While not a classic villain, Joy's lack of empathy, especially toward sadness, caused some of the film's most unfortunate moments, making her an unintentional antiheroine. Let me know if this theory clicks for you!

Not an excuse. Joy is narcissistic. Selfish emotions are ultimately a byproduct to want to feel joy- we want all the attention, all the love, and don't want to let others have it because we want to be happy, others be damned. Selfless joy does exist, but at its core the reason why we feel happy when our loved ones are, is because the thought of them being anything other than happy makes us sad. Joy in its unadulterated form without any complexity is just a mania. Like living life from one high to the next, absolutely disregarding anything else that could make us come down from that high of pleasure and make us unhappy or uncomfortable. Joy being a short-sighted bitch to sadness really highlights this.

[@gaybot8375]

I honestly really love Joy as a character. She isn't a villain at all: she genuinely believes she's doing the right thing for Riley. In the same way that many people do bad things in an attempt to do good, Joy is trying to help Riley's mental state by gatekeeping other emotions, which backfires horribly and ends up hurting Riley instead. She is a good person, but she's flawed in a realistic way, and that's what makes her an amazing character. Some of the best characters in my opinion are those who aren't 100% good or 100% evil - characters need to be three-dimensional and Inside Out handled it really well. I just don't like when people take a character's flaws and use them to try to say that they're not a "good" character. All the best characters have flaws. A huge part of this film is toxic positivity and its harmful effects on the mind. Over the course of the film, Joy learns of her harmful actions and the positive effects of Sadness's sympathy towards people and realises that Riley needs Sadness to be empathetic and life a fulfilling life. She learns from her mistakes in the end. She certainly isn't a villain.

My theory is that we put so much emphasis on feeling happiness. Riley is the same way, This being translated into the mental world is why Joy is so possessive with control. It isn’t a lack of empathy but instead (similar to what she said in the movie) she feels an overwhelming sense to help Riley be happy all the time. doesn’t make her a villain at all. (Just my thoughts tho)

[@geddyw]

Rewatching the film, Joy was definitely not that bad. In fact, I like her even more now for a few reasons: -When Sadness is claiming that she's awful, Joy reassures her she's not awful. Joy sidesteps about Sadness feeling annoying, but it should be noted that Joy only finds Sadness annoying. Joy doesn't hate Sadness, she just doesn't know what Sadness' role is (Sadness doesn't even know either) -Joy clearly trusts Sadness to some degree, letting her direct the way out of long-term, confirming with Sadness about their being another train in imagination land, following Sadness' instructions on how to escape abstract thought, following Sadness' idea to get to the subconscious -Joy frequently helps Sadness: when goofball island is crumbling, Joy catches Sadness from falling. When getting on the train, Joy helps Sadness up. If Joy actually hated Sadness she would've ditched Sadness the moment she got -When Joy decides to take the recall tube, not only does she say sorry, she had TO TAKE A MINUTE TO THINK ABOUT IT. She even looked down with guilt about leaving Sadness behind. However it also needs to be remembered that if everything got restored that way, Sadness could board the train of thought back anyways -Joy's methods of dealing with sad experiences is not inherently wrong. When Joy sees someone sad, her instinct is obviously to cheer them up. It's not "toxic", small problems can sometimes be laughed off. What she didn't understand was just how big problems do need to be dealt with by grieving. Which is what she learns anyways -Joy DOES trust the other emotions. Frequently there's talk how she's super bossy, but she lets Fear, Disgust, and Anger provide input multiple times. She even steps aside when she understands it's not her time. However times she does take charge is for good reasons: ---when Sadness insisted she should drive, Joy blocking her caused the other emotions to be shocked, implying it was a rare moment or even they agreed. However, Riley is hitting the age to understand that her Dad's work is important, so obviously she wouldn't bust out crying ---When Joy stops Disgust on the first day of school, it's because Disgust would've responded rudely to Riley's parents, which Joy knows is bad. But in the school, DISGUST stops Joy from rushing over to the cool girls, and Joy accepts that -Some people complain about how Joy tries to make everything in Riley's life happy, when that's kinda the point? We WANT to feel happy. The other emotions are how we CAN feel happy, by dealing with and addressing problems to make our situations the best they can be. That's why Fear couldn't stop Riley from running away, because even if she went back, she wouldn't experience any relief (Joy). As such, Riley enters the depressive mindset of "why bother". Joy then lets Sadness take over, since Joy understands now that such a big problem like this needs to be addressed so that Riley can feel happy again

Joy is literally the main character of Inside Out, her character development in the film reflects how Riley is growing up

[@Dexuz]

A main character can be a villain too. The video is still wrong in calling Joy a villain, as that would imply she's malicious, but Joy is, as a matter of fact, her own antagonist. It's an uncommon but not unseen trope in fiction, when the conflict is generated by the protagonist themselves, an internal conflict.

[@LUIGISQUAD64XD]

No what it is is the fact that even though Riley is feeling other emotions, she shows to be happy and buries it deeper. I know this because it happened to me TWICE.

[@user-cv2lq2uu5z]

Wow, so Joy is the villain.... like any other character in any other Pixar movie! Toy Story: Woody, who was actually jealous of Buzz being Andy's new favorite toy, knocked him out of the window. So, okay, that made him evil then. Cars 2: Lightning McQueen got mean at Mater just because of how he losed the race, and accused Mater for the cause. Finding Nemo: Marlin is becoming so overprotective with Nemo exploring many places. The Incredibles: Bob refuses to choose his family over work. They are the VILLAINS of their stories. 😲😲😲😲😲😲! Yeah... but, still, even if Joy became somewhat selfish, Joy still remains to be a likeable character, and at the end, she realises that she's wrong about taking too much on control to make Riley happy all the time. That's how every movie is, at the beginning or climax, the heroes became selfish just because how attached they want to achieve their goals, but after a while, they now understand from their mistakes, and give other people a chance.

[@AdeleIsFabulous]

Real Villains: Toy Story:Sid Cars 2:IDK Never Watched Finding Nemo:Darla Incredibles:Syndrome Joy isn't the Villain Because She just wants Riley to be happy. She didn't mean to be controlling.

Joy never forgot about Bing bong, it’s just that it wasn’t shown in the movie. And joy moved on without bing bong because she knew if Rylie is not saved so does bing bong.

Joy and Sadness come to an understanding. She's not an anti-villain, she's just naive a bit like our immediate gratification/cancel culture where if it doesn't immediately feel good and if we aren't surrounded by affirming "yes men" then we don't want to know! The great thing about Inside Out is that the characters grow and eventually see that joy can come from the presence of family members during hard times, i.e., sad times!

Joy wasn’t a villain, she needed to understand she couldn’t force Riley to be happy all the time when she clearly wasn’t.

She basically bullied Sadness into thinking Riley didn’t need her until she was forced to accept there was no other way to help Riley except letting her feel sad.

I wouldn’t call Joy a villain, she is more of a boss than the actual villain, Joy just wanted Riley to be happy even though moving to a new place can be sad and hard (friends are back in the old place, everything you find familiar is just gone) as a person who moved from one house to another, sure it may sound fun to move but eventually realization sets in

[@joehuber252]

When she was willing to abandon sadness, that- just- AAAAGH!!! 🤬🤬🤬

[@rockstarbonett886]

Joy in a way always felt obligated to have more control over Riley, being the first emotion to appear in her head (whiiich isn't entirely realistic but it's acceptable for plot) and so any new emotions felt more like an obsticle to overcome but she eventually realised that the emotions aren't entirely useless except for Sadness. The problem is that she sees her as her polar opposite, someone that could ruin her "perfect happy score", someone who just wants to bring the mood down and in a way you get where she's coming from? To her Sadness hasn't done anything but made Riley and the people around her feel bad. And also all the core memories are happy ones and she wants to keep it that way because it's the only thing she knows and it's worked for this long. She doesn't want to admit that what she's doing is wrong so she doesn't think it needs fixing. And her reaction to Sadness making a memory and of all a core memory sad is also reasonable because as she said in the movie every time Riley thinks of that memory, she will be sad. And she thinks that if you're sad, you can't be happy. This is her whole mentality throughout the movie and she slowly discovers that sadness can be the way to happiness. So all in all is Joy controlling and quite literally full of herself? Absolutely but that doesn't make her inherently bad let alone the villian. She only has the best intentions and it's not like she does anything actually evil through the movie. She pushes sadness back yes, it's mean but it's not as bad as if she tried to get rid of her. And she's constantly trying to work with Sadness too and the only reason she can't is because she just doesn't get her. Yes her reaction to a sad core memory is what caused her and Sadness to get sent out of headquarters along with the core memories but it's not like she did it on purpose. So yeah she isn't the villian.

Joy is the villain of Sadness's story, Joy believes Sadness is the villain of her story. however in the overall plot, I'd say Anger is the villain, he's the one that put the running away idea in Riley's head.

[@dayacat8605]

Joy isn't the villain she was only being mean to sad because she thought she was always right and thought sad always bad for Riley. That's why at the end Joy realize that sometimes sad is good for Riley also.

[@PineappleSox657]

Oh my gosh, she’s not the villain she’s a flawed person!

[@notefish328]

Classic misunderstanding of screenplay structure. Joy is the protagonist, because the movie is centered on her desire, conflict, realization, and resolution; Sadness is the antagonist because she stands opposed to Joy’s desire and instigates the conflict. “Villain” traditionally refers to the antagonist, because the protagonist is usually a hero who does the moral thing and the antagonist does the immoral, “vile” thing. But not all movies are based on that good vs. evil concept. Joy has a fatal flaw, but it’s not malicious.

[@ybgames120]

So joy is like anxiety

[@MitsukiMoon1]

The way joy looked at sadness at the end😔

[@thedancefam6843]

Joy is an amazing character and no hate but she was just trying to help Riley and she didn’t realize how Important sadness was but she fixed it in the end,she was just worried❤❤❤❤

[@Randomperson-110]

Not every movie has a villain, Think about it..... Joy was the FIRST emotion there, she's also mentally programed to think that life is all sunshine and rainbows, but at the end of the movie she realized that life isn't what you want it to be and Joy excepts the fact that she loves all the emotions as well she does not despise them, the point (in my opinion) of the movie is that growing up isn't so bad, you can't always be happy or joyful, and you can't always be other emotions as well, so to me there is no villain in inside out. I watched the new one a few weeks ago (no spoiling🥰) and Anxiety (new emotion) they say SHE was the villain but at the end of the day she just wanted to help Riley. ♡

[@turtlewolf8107]

Not an antagonist, but a contagonist.

[@KwasiAfriyie-pm4er]

Joy wasn't a villain. Sure she might have messed up and got to carried away but she only wanted to help Riley be happy in her new home and yes she didn't want sadness help but she only did that because she was worried that sadness would make things worse.

[@chestnut45134]

She isn’t a villain, She just doesn’t understand anyone else: her name is Joy, The others are the exact same, except sadness: who understands all and knows she’s the one that lets Riley express herself when she’s unhappy and that everyone is different, all the knew emotions look exactly the same in the trailer as all the other characters, especially embarrassment, Only understanding themselves

[@Dangerspeed862]

Here’s something to think about…Riley’s dad’s emotions are all male…her mom’s emotions are all female…Riley’s emotions are not all one gender 💀💀💀

[@cxrolinaxoxo]

she’s not the villain! although it may seem like that, the only thing that joy wants is the best for riley, she almost sacrificed her life to do so. the reason on why she was so harsh on sadness was because no one wants to be sad, right? she just wanted the best for riley even though it might cause problems.

[@aurorathehedgehog5985]

In some case scenarios he has a point. Because look at the difference and similarities between the first and the second movie. Joy and anxiety had one thing in common. They wanted whats best for riley but they were damaging her in the process with lack of an emotion(s) being bottled up or supressed. Of course joy was slowly learning that it was important for sadness to take a role to help riley be healthy and move on from hard things. As for anxiety, she wasnt trying to learn at all from others and just went with what her vision of riley was fearing only the worst. Even when things were already going wrong she kept persisting for the worst bringing out the worst in riley than realizing to step back and say im putting too much pressure on her. She had some moments where she thought she might be hurting her but she brushed it off as no big deal and she could handle it.

[@rachelsrandomness]

Joy was only doing what she thought would be good for Riley bc she cared for her and didn’t want her to feel sad, who wouldn't want someone they care for to be happy all the time? 💙💜
