Hello,

Thank you for being respectable and calm about this.

Faux Affably Evil: While he is nice to a certain extent, he isn't beyond beating, torturing, and trying to eat those he acts "nice" to. If he were truly affably evil, there would be lines he wouldn't cross. However, no part of the movie shows those lines, so faux.

Not scapegoat: As shown by the after credits scene, Tamatoa seems to regard his fate as more of a hinderance or an annoyance than a brutal punishment. Not to mention the stuff he wants back is Maui's fishhook, which he stole from Maui in the first place. Getting rolled onto his back seems like a fair and reasonable punishment for a theif, torturer, cannibal, sadist, and man-eater.
