Probably most examples will be from comedies.
Like Mugatu from Zoolander. Who is famous because he invented the piano key necktie. Somehow he became the head of fashion on that accomplishment.
Ray Finkle in Ace Ventura. That sort of thing. Decade long revenge plot because of the laces on the football being wrong.
Sandra Bernhardt’s character in Hudson Hawk. Lame and evil personified. Bunny, ball ball.
Also the Nihilists in The Big Lebowski.
People who are inflexible make good villains in this regard. Nurse Ratchet comes immediately to mind.
The Motherfucker from kick-ass 2
Ja, ve'll stomp it und sqvish it
The villain from Tomorrow Never Dies. He launches WW3 just to get more views for his news network.
These men are cowards Donnie.
William Randolph Hearst started a war with Spain for more papers to be sold.
Goldthwaite Higginson Dorr, Ph.D, from The Ladykillers, played by Thomas Jeffrey Hanks. Just the worst.
Ve believe in nussing lebowski!
“I fuck you!”
Every villain from Marvel movies. All hellbent on galactic domination but also impossibly boring
>!Jason Sudeikis's character Oscar!< in Colossal. Giant abusive loser who is a reflection of many people in our real lives.
They aren't ALL like that. Michael Keaton's Vulture just wanted to stick it to big corporations fro screwing over his employees & take care of his family.
Ben Kingsley's Trevor - Just an actor dedicated to his craft, lol
Nah, that one seems pretty plausible these days.
Syndrome from The Incredibles might be the best example of this. Grows up to be a supervillain just because Mr. Incredible blew him off and tried saving him from a bomb.
The Rednecks in Nocturnal Animals. They raped and killed the main characters wife and daughter just cause they could.
I mean, say what you like about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.
Daniel Brühl's Baron Zemo wanted there to not be superheroes because he felt they were dangerous and unchecked, and also wanted revenge for them causing the accidental death of his family during their heroic shenanigans.
Plenty of the villains are not helllbent on dominating anything. Heck, one of the most recent ones just wants to destroy the gods that do dominate everything, but not to take over for them.
That user just said some blanket nonsense because they don't like MCU, but haven't actually seen the movies so their opinion is based on thin air.
