User blog comment:Magma MK-II/Complete Monster: Characters to be removed/@comment-26205772-20160216042056

Alright, here's a Disney villain I'd like to challenge: the Horned King.

I admit, it's been a bit since I've seen The Black Cauldron, but... gorrible character aside, where was it ever mentioned that the Horned King planned to convert the world into a graveyard? Oh, yes, it was clear that the Horned King was happy to have anyone in his way destroyed, but the consequence of the Horned King's takeover to rule the world are too vague to count him as a Monster. The closest the Horned King states that he actively want to cause the destruction of all that lives is giving the order to the Cauldron-born to "destroy all in your path." The implications of omnicide in the Horned King's case are way, way too nondescript to really count for anything, and without them the Horned King falls short of true Monster-level villainy.

I'll also contest Josef Heiter, who I've taken upon myself to remove. Heiter on his own is heinous enough to count as a Monster, but the problem is that he shares a setting that's ungodly twisted, with two other villains - Martin Lomax and Bill Boss, two characters with a much bigger rapsheet than Heiter - surpassing him in heinousness. Jeiter's crimes, by the time the sequels roll in, are tame by the standards of the setting. Going back on Robinson's proposal to block out torture porn villains, this on its own automatically disqualifies Heiter.
