Weekend Discussion Thread: Least-Imposing Villain

Sorry for the late start. Slept in.

Somebody in the comments suggested this a few months back (sorry, I didn’t take note of who). It sounded like something we might have done, but I searched and I can’t find anything (though I did see TWO different “dumbest evil plan” threads).

So: least-imposing villain in a MSTed movie.

I gotta go with that clown white Darth Vader knockoff in STAR FORCE – FUGITIVE ALIEN II. Not even characters in the movie were scared of him, just kind of irritated.

Your pick?

    I am going with the chicken alien from Night O the Blood Beast, or the chicken alien from Prince of Space. Pretty much any chicken-alien hybrid.

    The Bat from The Robot VS. The Aztec Mummy. He spends years making his “human robot” and all you have to do is shoot the remote control and it goes down like a ten pin.

    In his favor, he did escape from a pit of snakes. That said, still pretty lame.

    I’ll go with Congressman Witkowski from The Starfighters. The movie practically doesn’t have a villain. He’s frustrated with his son. That’s it. He causes almost no conflict at all; he literally phones in his role. Everything goes swimmingly for the protagonist for the entire film.

    He was passive-aggressively pushing for his son to do safe, honorable job of carpet bombing entire cities and maybe drop a nuke or three.

    I think this was my discussion suggestion?

    From the Girls Town episode guide thread, September 8, 2016 @3:30PM:
    “I’m sure it’s been done, but Mel’s classic performance here made me want to read a Least Threatening Villains weekend thread. I believe he gets hit with a pie at one point? Not scary at all. The dorks from Kitten With A Whip would eat him alive.”

    I have a special place in my affections for Cleolanta from ‘Crash of the Moons’ and ‘Manhunt in Space.’ … I don’t blame her in the least. In fact, inside I kind of cheer her on. Fire those tritanic missiles (or whatever they’re called)!

    Breasts. They’re called breasts, you sexist PIG!!!

    Does “Froggy” (Eddie Deezen) from Laserblast count as a villain?

    No, he’s a lackey, for which an absence of imposingness is acceptable.
