Davy Jones has always been one of the most tragic characters in general to me. Especially considering that he spends entire third movie being controlled by Cutler Beckett who even forces him to kill his Kraken, before eventually being killed. The fact that he had to spend his final days in even more misery just kills me. Calypso may say she cares about him, but he’ll always and forever have my heart.

NO NO NO, I was afraid that you were going to put Mother Gothel on this list. She didn't have a terrible, sad or tragic back story. She simply didn't like that a flower that helped her stay young for hundredths of years had been taken. So to get the flower power back she kidnapped Rapunzel from her parents only for her hair keeping her locked up. There is nothing tragic about Mother Gothels back story because there isn't one. I normally agree with your choices Mojo. However this is one that myself along with most other Disney fans will I'm pretty sure definitely not agree with.

Yes, while her actions are unreasonable, there is a book about her backstory by Serena Valentino. In the books, she loses her two sisters after losing her evil mother, and she wanted the flower to bring her sisters back to life. Still, kidnapping a child, stabbing and killing a somewhat innocent man is unreasonable.

[@rachellisonbee3798]

Gothel can never be redeemed, she was completely selfish rather than sharing what she found and never truly cared for Rapunzel.

[@vulpixfairy1985]

I agree. Mother Gothel’s the only Disney villain I genuinely hate. To me other villains such as Hades and Yzma are more charming to my tastes.

She's the most evil Disney villain because she is the most human and relatable (to anyone who's had an emotionally abusive, gaslighting partner or caregiver).

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I've always found it interesting how some of the origin stories for these villains really makes you think "Well it's no wonder they became villains" Because their reasons for doing so are somewhat understandable, Although when it comes to villains like Captain Hook the hero (IE Peter Pan) is the real villain of the story, I think about it sometimes how looking from the villains point of view makes you realize that the protagonists are the villains of someone else's story.

[@AtarahDerek]

Wendy is the actual protagonist of Peter Pan. It's her story, not his. Peter won't learn. Learning brings about growth, and Peter refuses to grow.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

@@AtarahDerek I know that, I'm saying that because of Peter's actions in cutting off Hook's hand he's become the villain of the Hook's personal story. Just like Hook is the villain in Peter's personal story because he's a priate. Don't you know people have debated about this for years? about Peter being the real villain of the stories?

[@Heraldo_Del_Mar]

Naamari's "intentions" were the result of her, once again, thinking what was best for Fang -- which is what unleased the Drunns in the first place.This was exacerbated by her Cheif mother pressuring her to bring Sisu in along with the other Gem pieces as a desperate attempt to come out as heroes to the other lands and fix their past transgressions.

I at first didn't seem to mind this video, but then you introduced Gothel; if she (regardless of her age) was dying of an incurable disease and the flower was the only thing that was saving her from it, then I would show sympathy. But she was a greedy old woman intent on having eternal life and I can't defend that. Also: 17. Yzma was doing was basically stealing the throne from Kuzco and was the reason he was what he was. 16. Adelaide was going to say he could have the fortune if he took care of the kittens, but he didn't wait long enough to hear that. Also, plenty of good people give their fortunes to animals; are you saying that everyone who doesn't give their staff/next of kin their fortune and instead to charity or animals are bad people? 15. Are you going to let this drop? Hook was a pirate who wanted to terrorise Neverland and Peter did what he did to protect it? 10. I still think taking out his feelings on an innocent child was pushing things a lot. 9. Ursula wanted Ariel to fail and did all that she could so that would happen.

[@Furienna]

Yes, Yzma only had herself to blame. It is very hard for me as a cat owner to sympathize with Edgar even if he's far from being as badass as many other Disney villains. Captain Hook actually killed two of his men and planned to make a bunch of kids walk the plank, and I don't think we can blame that on Peter Pan. It seems to me that Hades was evil already before he had Hercules kidnapped, which is why the other gods despised him. Besides, Zeus was actually happy to see him and wanted his brother to join the celebration (even though I can agree that joking about him was unnecessary and a bit cruel). And I don't think that Ursula would have helped others if Triton hadn't exiled her, because she didn't help anybody in her exile even though she had many chances to do so.

[@knightofarkronia9968]

What? I’m sorry, but a few of these choices baffle me. Wise Wolf already explained why Gothel doesn’t work, but there were a few other problematic entries. It’s heavily implied that the souls are miserable because of Hades, and Yzma herself said that she ‘practically raised [Kuzco],’ so they both brought their misery onto themselves. Also, what was presented for Ursula was just one interpretation, and the source material was too vague for her to truly qualify. However, Scar’s entry may be the flimsiest of the bunch. The reason he got tricked in the first place was because the lion tempted him with power, meaning he always wanted to be king of the Pride Lands. Assuming that Scar was telling the truth about the origin of his name, (which knowing him, is debatable), Mufasa didn’t mean anything by calling him that, he was young and just being a brother. Plus, considering the fact that he took the alias as his own, it seems like he was less bothered by the nickname and more upset over not getting praised for (eventually) doing his job. And don’t forget, Kion got a bite just like Scar did, yet he didn’t turn evil. In Scar’s case, the bite never made a good lion bad, it made a bad lion worse.

Maleficent used to be evil just because. She was a fairy who wasn't invited to a party and took offense so she cursed a baby to death. That's it. No tragic r*pe allegory.

Mother Gothel's backstory is not all that sympathetic. Though she may have been scared of dying, billions of people have lived and died before she was ever born, and billions more had died during the centuries she was using the flower's magic to stay young and beautiful. What was it that made her the exception to the rule? She was no more deserving of eternal life than anyone else. In fact, her selfishness and willingness to kidnap a child in order to maintain access to such magic makes her the least deserving of such a fate. No, there is nothing about Mother Gothel's backstory that makes her sympathetic in my eyes. She's just and bitter old woman who was willing to kill to get what she wanted out of some egotistic belief that she was the only person in the world that mattered. Heck, she didn't even use her time over the centuries to do good for others, or help society progress in any way. If she had, then maybe I would have shed a tear for her when she finally turned to dust.

These so called backstories have never been proven cannon, nor is there any real proof they suffered enough to cause the atrocities they caused. As for Cruella and Maleficient these are NOT the originals. Both are Multiverse counterparts of the originals. Cruella in the first movie treated her henchmen like crap and barley knew them. While the one in her movie knew them for years and treated them like family. Maleficent in the original was based more on the fairytale; where she cursed Aurora because she was not invited to the party. And she never knew where Aurora was when she was growing up, only bidding her time until her curse took affect.

The venom brought out Scar's desire for power, his greediness, his jealousy and annoyance towards Mufasa. However, the bite and resulting venom only removes moral restraints and amplifies negative traits and desires; for example, his jealously and annoyance for Mufasa had already existed, but the venom that brought it out more eventually turned it into murderous hatred. So the venom doesn't create Scar's evilness, only reveals it more as Scar had always being jealous and already wanted to overthrow Mufasa before he got his scar so you're a little incorrect on that. After double-crossing and slaughtering the lion, he reported to Mufasa, spinning the narrative in his favor to make him look like a hero (conveniently omitting the fact that he planned to team up with one of them to overthrow him), in order to garner sympathy and to be seen as superior to his brother. Even as the Lion Guard leader, he was quite arrogant after letting the Roar goes to his head, preferring to go out on patrols all alone instead of with his team and always expecting to be praised for his actions, showing little to no respect for his teammates. Though the venom in his scar may have influenced his evil nature, Scar was already proven to be envious and power-hungry before being infected as he was willing to work with the Strange Lion to overthrow Mufasa as king due to his jealousy. So Scar's backstory is not tragic and doesn't made him sympathy at all.

[@isabelyork3265]

There's an official Disney lion king story book that directly contradicts the lion guard, making the show another alternate timeline. In the book, scar (initially known as nuka) received his scar as a result of his own stupidity. He was trying to get a group of african cape buffalo (known to african locals as the "black death" and "widowmaker" for good reason) to stampede and trample his brother to death (forshadowing) but failed thanks to his and mufasa's father stepping in and chewing out the buffalo for being an ass. Nuka was brutally gored in the face by the buffalo just before his father showed up, leaving him permanently scarred, and leading him to change his name to "Scar".

[@user-ix1rp9ff3p]

considering "Snuff Out the Light", Yzma's backstory seems more tragic also, agree with you regarding Yzma's anger about getting fired: technically that day was the "eve of [Kuzco's] 18th birthday", hence Yzma was still in charge and was just doing her job description of regent is it possible Goob was a Soviet refugee?? his name sounds Slavic, and his orphan status seemed likely considering in the original "Sleeping Beauty" the Evil Fairy wasn't invited to the christening because everyone thought she was dead (nobody has heard from her for many years), that's tragic enough

But she started meddling in dark magic that shouldn't have been meddled with. Perhaps even doing so to somehow help Triton out. However, when the spell backfired causing her to turn into who she is and her appearance, being the evidence of what Triton had asked and him not wanting anyone to know about what he had asked, he exiles her from the kingdom to hide his indiscretion so to speak and this has caused a hatred for each other.

Same, But you know what even though the Sanderson sisters did evil things I think when they first became witches they were more like antiheroes than villains.

Top 10 Evil Counterparts of Disney

[@CodyFairlessLee]

I like MEET THE ROBINSONS and MALEFICENT. I also love the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN franchise, RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON, CRUELLA, HERCULES, MULAN, CINDERELLA, BIG HERO 6, and MOANA.

No, Gothel doesn't get a pass. The only reason she knew about the sundrop rampion is because her former mentor, whom she betrayed, was studying and searching for it. Her mentor, who was Roman, and as such was under no obligation to take on female students--especially Celtic or Germanic students--but did so anyway because he recognized their passion, determination and intelligence. When he gave up his search because of the allure of corrupt power the flower represented (a conclusion he reached after seeing what just searching for it had done to his best friend), Gothel and two of his other students turned on him and unleashed a demon to destroy him and the city he founded (they were unsuccessful). Gothel has been an enemy of Corona for 2,000 years. There is nothing tragic about her backstory. She has no Freudian excuses. And let's not forget that she threw her biological daughter to the wolves, so to speak, in order to get away with Rapunzel. She is not a sympathetic villain.

[@Furienna]

To be fair though, most of that information about Gothel doesn't appear in the movie. Neither her mentor nor her daughter nor indeed hardly anything about what she had done before she kidnapped Rapunzel is mentioned there. That said, we see enough already in the movie to learn that not only did Gothel want eternal youth for selfish reasons. She kidnapped a baby too and kept her "daughter" imprisoned for eighteen years and stabbed Eugene in front of Rapunzel's eyes. There are no good reasons to sympathize with her...

[@AtarahDerek]

@@Furienna But they also accepted Scar's TLG backstory, so they have no excuse not to accept TTS/RTA for Gothel's backstory.

[@Furienna]

@@AtarahDerek Okay, good point. But I guess that whoever made this list hadn't seen "Tangled: The Series".

Good idea

That’s so sad to hear!

[@coryanthony2912]

I feel for Scar the most. Anyone who has a siblings are usually confined in the shadows, while someone else is given the spotlight.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Except that Scar is beyond tragic and his actions are proof of that, not to mention cares for no one but himself.

[@coryanthony2912]

Exactly. So if he was brought up better, he wouldn’t have gone down that dark path that led to his end.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

@@coryanthony2912 Brought up has nothing to do with it. His jealously and desires to be king made him go down that dark path with the venom helping it part of the way by revealing it more despite once leader of The Lion Guard which is a perfect life that he gives up on through wanting to be king and destroys it with the roar.

Okay, maybe Mufasa should had overthink on nicknaming his brother Scar, but Mufasa really did love Scar. Scar really didn’t had to take it out on Simba and Simba love Scar too.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

Scar would still become evil either way by jealously and desires for the throne.

[@b.t.harris9005]

To Scar, Simba was an obstacle to become a king. If the backstory in Lions Guard was put into interpretation, Mufasa and Scar could have had a better relationship if Mufasa showed more respect and given Scar a fair share of responsibility, true.
