I looked on a page of Pixar villains, and the list of Inside Out villains was very unsatisfactory.

Gloom was originally going to be a villain, but he was cut from the film. Jangles the Clown was Riley's fear, but Jangles didn't pose as a real threat. The talking bear, rat, and broccoli, and the cloud man and woman aren't antagonists at all because, well, logic and facts. And the Forgetters aren't antagonists because it's their job to make Riley forget a few things and sometimes forgetting things can be a good thing. I mean, I think it's important for me to concentrate on my algebra test without continuously thinking about all the embarassing things I did in 3rd grade.

That list of villains is pretty dumb, so it's up to creative minds like Seamus to come up with who the villain is. And Seamus says that the villain in Inside Out is none other than-- Anger.

Let's look at the evidence. We know that Joy is in charge of the emotions in Riley's head, with most of her memories being happy memories. In Riley's mom's head, Sadness is the leading emotion. And in Riley's dad's head, Anger is in charge.

If you look at Anger's actions when Joy and Sadness are away, his actions seem to show that he is trying to take over so that he is in charge instead of Joy. Anger was trying to change Riley's personality so that she would be so angry, he would be in charge instead. That sounds ridiculous, but at the dinner scene, Anger is the one who forces Riley to lose her temper. And as a result, Goofball Island was destroyed. Later, when Riley is speaking with her friends, Anger is, again, the one who causes Riley to lose her temper with them, and this causes Riley to lose Friendship Island. And when Riley tries playing hockey, she loses her temper, again, because of Anger, and this destroys Hockey Island. Finally, do you remember which emotion came up with the idea to make Riley run away, which destroyed Honest Island and Family Island? It is because of Anger that Riley lost all five of her islands of personality. Riley lost those islands solely because of Anger, and his actions were responsible for all of Riley's suffering in life. He was doing all of this so that he could become the leader of HQ, but soon, he realizes that Riley couldn't feel anything at all, and Riley needed Joy and Sadness. His plan had been foiled, so he ends up being reformed.
