Best character yet his goal doesn’t make sense since he is powerful enough to create his own kingdom.

[@christophersanchez7731]

Yes with the Forbidden Arts, the power to create, change. And destroy he can be a God But he seems to want to make his power legitimate or risk going to war with the other Kingdoms with force So he rather usurp his way to William’s Kingdom by forcibly marrying Odette, to create a shroud of legitimacy while having the Forbbiden Arts to supplement his rule

[@christophersanchez7731]

Oh and he actually stated in the movie he already tried that and failed, even if he succeeded he’ll spend the rest of his life fighting to keep his kingdom He rather have peace of mind by doing it legally by marrying his way to the throne Also it seems he feared losing his power again, in his first attempt, King William found him out and destroyed his means of controlling the forbidden Arts, stripping him of his power. He would have been killed if William wasn’t merciful at his own peril It took him years to regain his power, and likely didn’t want to risk losing it again, by getting unwanted attention and attracting enemies So it seems why he thought marrying Odette was the safest option, although as in his No More Mister Nice Guy Song he no longer cared

Interesting fact. Jack Palace was a professional boxer. So in the cartoon, he sends Derek an uppercut to a knockout. And the famous one-arm push-up is a reference to the 1992 Oscars.

I see now that Rothbart's Great Animal form is a hybrid, with the head of a wolf, the wings of a bat, the talons of an eagle and the tail of a lizard.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

In Greek Mythology a creature that is created through the combination of various animals are called Chimeras.

[@niccawicca]

Not a hybrid. A quadbrid. Hybrids are made of two species. Quad is four. So, a quadbrid is made of four species.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

Rothbart's overconfidence and arrogance was what ultimately led to his downfall. His great animal form may have seemed terrifying but he was driven by hatred and a lust for power, if he had usurped Williams kingdom his reign would've only lasted mere months.

[@christophersanchez7731]

That’s why he needed to marry Odette so taking over William’s kingdom would have legitimacy In reality Rothbart was far more powerful than he appeared in the first movie, later movies show his power the Forbidden Arts has 3 main abilities, the Power to Create, Change, and Destroy With that power he has unlimited potential, But yes his arrogance limited him to his Great Animal Form He could have created armies for himself or blast Derek to dust with destructive magic blasts, or change Derek into something helpless and vulnerable But Rothbart himself was an animal at Heart and rather tear his enemies apart, which makes one shutter to think how he killed King William and his guards offscreen

[@manuelorozco7760]

As much as I enjoy a good love to hard villain, it’s motive decay I hate.

After realizing Rothbart and Carl Grissom (the overarching antagonist in "Batman 1989") were both portrayed by Jack Palance, i came to appreciate Jack Palance more, and also get the feeling that Rothbart could've been a composite character of Carl Grissom and Jack Napier like nothing.

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

Just this once since this was from Jack Palace who was in the 1989 Film BATMAN, right when his character was shot by Joker. 0:44-0:57 “Everything you own, Everything you love... Will be mine.” Bonus: King William’s thoughts: 1:04 No, It can’t be.

Perhaps Odette should have made it clear to Rothbart at the scene of Rothbart discovered Odette was with Derek almost behind Rothbart's back That Odette will never marry Rothbart still no matter what he had forced her to live as a swan without her humanity as to make sense of it all.

[@christophersanchez7731]

Yes he seemed to realize that in the end which was why he was ok with letting her die He could simply start over without her His Power the Forbidden Arts has 3 main abilities, the Power to Create, Change, and Destroy He could take over the kingdom in countless ways with his power But it was easier to try marrying Odette so his rule can have legitimacy Still in the end his arrogance limited him. He really rather do this as revenge and take away everything King William loved, if it simply mean destroying Odette and his Kingdom, he won anyway

[@manuelorozco7760]

Happy Halloween! I’m here for some villainy since October 31st is a day to celebrate it. Rothbart is a classic love to hate villain! Although I was scared when he loses his temper locking Odette away. And I was enjoying him right up until his motive decay of now wanting to rule William’s kingdom without Odette.

[@KBAFourthtime]

Even if Rothbart hadn't been the reason for King William's death, marrying then-Queen Odette would *not* have made Rothbart a king. Only prince consort. Just like with all three British male consorts: Prince George of Denmark (stayed so when his wife Anne became queen), Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (though Queen Victoria *did* want to stylize him as king consort, which Parliament wasn't having), and, to a most recent extent, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (He had primarily been from a Greek and Danish royal family, but had to drop those titles before it was even announced that he and then-Princess Elizabeth, the future Elizabeth II, were engaged). Most monarchies are like that. A male monarch can pass his title and style to his wife, making her queen consort, but a female monarch cannot do the same with her husband, especially if he either wasn't from the same land or wasn't royal to begin with.

[@edwardcarlisle5580]

Based on a lot of traditions from our world, yes. But the husband of the Queen Regnant can become King Consort. Most just choose to remain with the title of Prince Consort. Queen Victoria would have had her way a century earlier when the monarchy had a bit more power. In the modern day, it's a matter of "Pick your battles. Is it really worth fighting over?" Now, in the context of the Swan Princess, Rothbart could have become King by marrying Queen Odette. Upon marriage, he would ensure that Odette and the Nobility declare him King by right and marriage and then be recognized as Co-Rulers of equal power (Such as King William and Queen Mary Co-Rulers of England and Orange). Of course, Rothbart intended to make it clear that HE was running things once the ceremonies were over. All things considered, this could still technically happen even today by the rules of monarchy, as there are several ways to become King. Rothbart knew that taking the crown was just not the best option, because most people do not consider that legal and will fight the self-declared king over it. Marriage however, and a declaration from the Nobility would be considered legal and then Rothbart could get everything he wanted. He just needed Odette to agree to it. However... After murdering her father, that was never going to happen. Odette would have preferred to just stay a swan forever than give Rothbart her blessing after that. Even with a near perfect plan, Rothbart shot himself in the foot with his first move.

As she needs to be in the Lake each moonrise in order to become human at night With this curse, Rothbart is holding her humanity hostage, as he’s urging her each day to submit to him, as he can undo the spell and change her back at anytime he wishes

[@chasitycrow4012]

He could have just turned that old hag into Odette and married her to become king. Nobody would have knew the truth if he got rid of the original Odette.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

Unless something caused the spell to be broken early like another wizard/witch reversing it. Besides, the kingdom might ask the fake Odette questions to prove it's really her. Questions that only the real Odette would know the answer to because they revolved around her private life.
