User blog:JonTheVGNerd/PE Proposal: Hopper (A Bug's Life)

So we have one character that's overlooked, straight from a Pixar film, and wouldn't you know it, it's Hopper from A Bug's Life, the main antagonist.

Who is he?
Hopper is the main antagonist of A Bug's Life, with the intent on overthrowing the ants and claim Ant Island as his own. He was also a direct threat to Flik and other fellow ants, especially when it comes to demanding food to be delivered to the grasshoppers, or face deadly consequences. He may have "redeemable" qualities by offering them a second chance, but it's nothing more than a mere facade of the sort. Sure, you can share a bit of humor or two, just to buy time... though that's basically delaying the inevitable. He'll just get what he wants, even if it means beating someone to a bloody pulp.

Crimes committed
Other than the obvious by overthrowing ants, he's created intimidation with the intent of harming, especially from beating up Flik, maybe worse. He went as far as to kill his own compadres by literally burying them with rocks piling down on them as a demonstration regarding the ants' large numbers. And let's not forget that he's made death threats on the ant colony as well. And he was also xenophobic as well at the ants.

Here's a look at the first 30 seconds to show how ruthless Hopper is, even to his own kind, just to make a statement.

Redeeming qualities
Absolutely not (and he's never done anything good) and his brief mercy towards the ants shows that he's basically a monster in a mask. once that was taken off, then he's something to be very feared of (even Molt wouldn't dare get near him whenever his bad side is shown!). All in all, he may be just a grasshopper, but he's certainly more than that.
