If
If we're going to keep this, it should be changed to "introduced in", like other templates of similar scope. Glorious  CHAOS!  02:25, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, we should just implement the changes.  TNÉ  En avant Bravo ! 02:49, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Smee, the hyenas, and the Goons
Are they really villians? I think they are more of just plain old lackeys than Villians.-- 17:59, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Birth by Sleep?
Missing the villains of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.Captain Goofy
 * You know why? Because the game hasn't been released yet, and we don't deal in conjecture. Glorious  CHAOS!  18:11, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * And now that the game HAS been released, someone go quick and add the BBS villains to the list. --84.249.211.221 20:05, October 9, 2010 (UTC)

Somebody wanna update this for the villains in BBS?
In BBS, Anastasia, Drizella, Gantu, Ice Colossus, Lucifer, Magic Mirror, Maleficent's goons, The Queen, and Lady Tremaine were introduced, so someone needs to update this template. --BreaktheIce16 (talk) 20:00, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

"General knowledge and common sense"
...Like the Tron: Legacy world being Space Paranoids, and not a new world (as the previews eventually said)?...

Okay, to reiterate: This template is not for antagonists. It's for villains, the people who are trying to conquer a world and can never be reasoned with. This is why it does not include the Queen of Hearts, Gantu, Lock, Shock, and Barrel (and honestly it shouldn't include the hyenas and pain and panic, since they all become civil).

Even if it was for just "major antagonists", we haven't even seen Rinzler fighting Sora. We've seen him readying a stance. It is so far beyond ridiculous to assume that we know that he will be a major villain in at least the world's plot, when even in the movie he was the protagonist's brainwashed friend.

This is really, really stupid. We suffer nothing for waiting at least until Rinzler is even mentioned as his name (remember Leon?), and only look foolish if it turns out we were making claims based off of half a second of video and they end up being wrong.192.249.47.195 15:23, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

"Villain"
Noun: villain (plural villains)


 * 1) A vile, wicked person.
 * 2) An extremely depraved person, or one capable or guilty of great crimes.
 * 3) A deliberate scoundrel.

So, I just removed the lackeys completely, for this plus a variety of reasons:
 * Hayabusa, Maleficent's Goons, Lucifer: We are not even sure these guys are sapient and thus "evil". They're barely different, morally, from the Heartless.
 * Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed, Pain and Panic: These guys aren't even enemies after your first fight(s) with them, like Lock, Shock, and Barrel.
 * Undead Pirates and Maleficent's Goons: generic mooks. Not villains.
 * Iago, Flotsam and Jetsam, Mr. Smee, Sark, Drizella and Anastasia: I removed them because they are lackeys, but arguably they could be put back. Iago and Mr. Smee, however, seem to just be doing it as a job, and I personally wouldn't consider them villains.
 * Beagle Boys, Rinzler: All we know about the Beagle Boys so far is that they serve Pete, and we know jack all about Rinzler (and even in the film, he is a brainwashed goon).

If we want to reconsider this as "Disney Enemies", that could be done, but then you'd have stuff like the Tremaines and The Queen being removed completely, while Beast, Captain Pete, Experiment 221, Gantu, Hercules, Monstro, Magic Mirror, Ice Titan, Peter Pan, Queen of Hearts, Rock Titan, and the Seven Dwarves would be added in. And that's certainly doable, if we want to make a navbox like that. I should probably rejigger the enemy template to create a category for that, too.

Personally, I think this template works better with a plot focus, highlighting the actual villains who the heroes have to work against, rather than mixing in their goons and lackeys. Esepcially since that's what the name implies.

I'm just gonna remove the lackeys completely. This was originally meant for "the big bads who serve as the antagonists", and now it's just become "disney people who look like they might fight you initially". Several of them aren't even aggressive. 22:01, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I agree with all of this, except I think Sark should be re-added. Maybe Gantu too, but I could see an argument against that since he isn't all THAT bad...-- Random! to a point!  23:40, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hokay. Yeah, I can see Sark as a villain. 00:16, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't really agree with Flotsam and Jetsam. Sure they're evil, but they are just lackeys and are essentially no more then Heartless... They aren't as prominent as the other villains on that line.-- Random! to a point!  00:40, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
