Most Overrated Disney Villains

I love Disney and their villains but sometimes they get way to much praise then they deserve.
The Top Ten
1 Scar Scar is the main antagonist of Disney's 1994 animated feature film, The Lion King. He was the second son of Ahadi and Uru — who were, at one time, King and Queen of the Pride Lands — the younger brother of Mufasa, and the uncle of Simba.

The funny thing is Scar's role in the movie. He ends up acting like Maleficent or Ratigan, where it seems like all the other characters know he evil, but he is written like Jafar. It makes the characters seem like idiots when they trust him after two situations, one where he eats Zazu and one where he is revealed to be lying for years. Plus, he's the only villain that tells the heroes the true intentions he has. Others are revealed through their actions, or because the characters add two and two together. Scar tells the others that he murdered Mufasa.

It get annoying when you keep hearing SCAR IS THE BEST DISNEY VILLAIN EVER. The reasons he is number one though is when he finally gets his power he acts like a child but people keep saying he's the best villain ever. by the way he isn't a bad villain.

I am sick of this guy he needs to get kicked out of Disney and never return because you know what he did something that no other character would do kill his own brother! How evil Somebody needs to kick this guy out

Worst villain ever He is nothing but a evil backstabbing black yellow green orange hatred spoiled rude lying uncle!

2 Madame Medusa

Her motivation is bland. All she does is trap a little girl just so she can get a diamond for lots of money.

3 Captain Hook Captain James Hook is a fictional character, the antagonist of J. M. Barrie's play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up and its various adaptations, in which he is Peter Pan's archenemy.

I actually like him. Despite being a villain, he's pretty funny. He makes me laugh so much when the crocodile comes for him and starts to panic. I don't see Peter Pan without him. He's one of my favorite Disney characters/villains, along with McLeach.

Hey! Captain Hook is probably disney's best hand to hand fighter! And my favorite disney villain ever! And in his popularity field, compared to greats like scar and maleficent, he's UNDERrated.

4 Clayton

My gosh his motivation is lame. He just wants to kill gorillas and that's it and for some reason he's one of the most well known Disney villains while Ratigan and Prince John and Sir Hiss are forgotten.

5 Cruella De Vil Cruella de Vil is a fictional character who appeared in Dodie Smith's 1956 novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians, Disney's animated film adaptations 101 Dalmatians and 101 Dalmatians II: Patch's London Adventure, and Disney's live-action film adaptations 101 Dalmatians and 102 Dalmatians as the main antagonist.
6 Jafar Jafar is the main antagonist of Disney's 31st full length animated feature film Aladdin. Jafar is introduced as the sinister Royal Vizier to Agrabah's Sultan who desires power over Agrabah.

So hilariously funny especially the puns in the movie are just so Lol! Funniest character =Jafar!

7 Hans

Welp, Thiti2000 and her ugly fans like the UTTP and Chase Williamson are going to rage when they see Hans on the list! Well, guess what?! These haters and most Frozen characters can die slowly and painfully for all I care.

What the hell is the dude right here talking about

8 Stromboli
9 Frollo

Judge Claude Frollo is my most favorite Disney villain of all time! He's a man of character, he's tall, dark, and very handsome, unlike that wretch Phoebus! Frollo is unlike any other Disney villain I've ever known. His voice is so scary and sexy, and his gothic appearance is stunning! By the way, I'm not gonna lie to you: Frollo's my kind of villain. You rock, Frollo!

He's not a bad villain at all but if he isn't on a top disney villains list or not close to 1 his fans will get mad. Then most of the people who like this character a lot always hate on the other Disney villains because they aren't complex as him. Just because characters aren't complex, doesn't mean they are cliches.

I really don't get the whole complex thing; he just has the hots for someone and that now he's pure. Big whoop, Hugo Strange thought he was pure and he was just a generic "they must die"

Same with frollo; no reason why he hates gyspies, he's a jerk straight from the beginning, there's no character change at all. I prefer the book Verison

What's really annoying is how keeps ending up on all the UNDERrated villians lists

10 Lyle Tiberius Rourke

It's hard to call him overrated when he's extremely forgettable. But considering how badly written he is, and how flat his "personality" is, he can be overrated compared to villains like alamaeda slim because he isn't "silly." Some might like him because he "looks" badass on paper, or is "different." While people are busy shutting down Hans, and saying old Disney villains are better, this guy is the forgotten exception. Even Edgar or Alameida Slim, or even Clayton and Radcliffe are more memorable bad Gus than "the Atlantis villain." Even the Leviethen has more impact on the audience than Rourke does, and seeing Rourke get the mantle of main villain of Atlantis over that monster, shows that even on an insignificant scale, Rourke is an overrated stain in the Disney Canon.

This guy wants money. If you're the guy who discovers Atlantis, you will obviously get a lot of money, just by simply DISCOVERING it! What does this guy do when he reaches Atlantis? Well he decides to destroy the entire civilization, because THAT sure will give him money. *facepalm*.

Also did I mention how his design is oddly similar to Percival McLeach?

Hey look it's another guy like Ratcliffe. The guy who wants to destroy an entire civilization just for money. by the way even though the villain is overrated, the film itself is underrated.

The Contenders
11 Governor Ratcliffe

Just like Clayton his motivation is bland. All he wants is gold. He is just some greedy guy and I expected more from Disney.

UGH! I hate this guy! I just wanna kill him!

He is more underrated then overrated.

12 Lady Tremaine
13 Ursula Ursula is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 28th animated feature film The Little Mermaid.
14 Maleficent Maleficent is the main antagonist of Disney's 1959 animated feature film Sleeping Beauty. An evil fairy, Maleficent is an incarnation of pure evil, and is responsible for all misfortune in King Stefan's kingdom.

Yeah, doesn't do anything except turn into a dragon and engage Phillip in a rather epic battle. Not to mention cast the curse that drives the whole plot in the first place.

Sure, her design is cool, but her flat personality and utterly pathetic motivation ("wah, I wasn't invited to Aurora's christening! ") ruin the character for me.

She gets all kinds of weird crap, sequels, and fan stuff... I just don't think she's that interesting. A good villain, but still overrated.

She doesn't do anything.

15 Shan Yu Shan Yu is the main antagonist of Disney's 1998 animated feature film, Mulan. He is the evil leader of the Hun Army.

You all only "love" him so you can throw Precious Precious Holy Mulan's defeat of him in everyone's face when they dare like any other female Disney character

I'm pretty sure people only rank this guy so high on "favorite villains" lists is solely because of the movie he's from.

This is the most forgettable Disney villain ever yet there are still people who put him on their top tens.

16 Si and Am

These cats are annoying. Trying to just mess things up for Lady and then she gets in trouble while they get off scott free. They were only in the movie for that one song and some how they are some of the most well known Disney villains.

17 Ronno

I guess he was kind of cool in the original but in the sequel he is so annoying trying to act all tough and always failing. Characters like that are so annoying!

18 Syndrome Syndrome (born as Buddy Pine) is the primary antagonist in The Incredibles. He wanted to be super like the others, even though he had no powers. He was Mr. Incredible's #1 fan, and dubbed himself "Incrediboy," but he was rejected by Mr. Incredible. Angered after being refused, he developed an evil plan for revenge. Despite not having any super powers, he is extremely intelligent and creates state-of-the-art gadgets that he uses throughout the film.

This guy is so fake it's disgusting. I mean, he creates robots and sends them to attack the city just so he can stop them and PRETEND to be a hero. That's so lame!

19 Mother Gothel Mother Gothel is the main antagonist of Disney's 2010 animated feature film, Tangled. She is a wicked crone who retained youth for hundreds of years through the healing properties of a magic, golden flower.
20 Sid

He doesn't do much, except torture toys for his own pleasure.

This is easily one of the worst lists I've ever seen on here

Sid isn't even that much of a villain...
Why is he considered the best one?

21 Morgana

This is really just a rip off Ursula from that sequel of The Little Mermaid. She's even voiced by the same person. The only difference from her than Ursula is that she is green and skinny. LAZY!

Why is she on the list of overrated villains? Pretty much everyone dislikes her for being a lazy Ursula clone.

22 The Beast

He's not even a villain, so why is he here? He was just a cursed prince who falls in love with Belle and becomes human again.

Really? Whoever put him in should look at the title.

23 Bellwether

Get this moron to the top

24 Turbo/King Candy

This guy robbed a child of her whole life, self, did anything and everything he could to prevent her from getting it back. And all to keep his own ego fed. Yet he's got such a huge fanbase- what gives?

25 Loki Loki Laufeyson, or Loki Odinson, is a fictional character appearing in the American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the adoptive brother and archenemy of Thor, and is known as the "God of Mischief". In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character has been portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.
