Here’s just a few examples:
Syndrome (The Incredibles) - Strived to overcome the differences between himself and people born naturally gifted with superpowers through discovery and innovation
Evelyn Deavor (The Incredibles 2) - Wanted people to strive for more than just ease and consumption, and have people be capable of taking care of themselves and experience their own life while dealing with trust issues due to her tragic past
Charles Muntz (Up) - Wanted to prove himself to be a great explorer and regain his dignity by finding the one thing that would redeem himself
Chick Hicks (Cars) - Was just being competitive and wanting to do his best to become accomplished, (although he was being quite a dick about it)
Randall Boggs (Monster’s Inc.) - Kind of the same as Chick Hicks, very competitive and strived to become top scarer and become better than the naturally gifted Scully
Lotso (Toy Story 3) - Was trying to cope with rejection and set up a system to protect himself from experiencing that hurt again
These are the ones I could think of and remember off the top of my head. Real good writing in these movies. Incredibles 2 hit me hard ngl, was a little too close too home.
The thing I love most about Pixar movies is how I understand all their villains and they are all relatable. I understand where they’re coming from and I feel sympathy for them. But it tears my heart apart because they feel like they need to take things to such an extent to be heard. Good motives, wrong methods.
