The Anti-Virus Bots do actually get a decent amount of screentime, far more than Smiler, although they have no memorable or identifiable traits other than being easily distracted by cat videos. Seriously.

Smiler would've been a seriously better villain if she took the Lotso route, that being appearing as a kind and trustworthy character at first who is later revealed to be a corrupt, power hungry sociopath who doesn't care for anything but themselves (hey, considering how many ther films this movie ripped off, why not do Toy Story 3?). Heck, if they wanted to drive in the message of how conformity can lead to dangerous results (although I doubt that that was an intended message, just call it an accident) the main antagonist should've been The Devil emoji. Think about it. The Devil is an evil and menacing character from the get-go, so him wanting to stick to having one emotion/personality trait would naturally lead to disaster, say wanting do destroy Alex's phone or even the entire Cloud because that would be the most evil thing for him to do, naturally interfering with Gene's goals. You could even throw a villain like Smiler in the mix to not only increase the threat towards the heroes, but also drive in the message even more by having the villains show the extremes of both sides. So, when everyone learns to embrace expressing themselves, The Devil and Smiler would learn about how wrong their beliefs on how they and others should act are and reform themselves

Why the hell didn't I write this movie?
