He is one monstrous, sadistic and psychotic grasshopper, but a PE he ain't.
Ok, so, this is my first removal on this wiki, and this is on a very contentious candidate, so let's see why he doesn't count shall we?
Permission granted by Jester of chaos.
What's the Work?
A Bug's Life is Pixar's 2nd film, and revolves around Flik being outcasted from his colony for accidentally destroying the food supply needed by the grasshoppers, who are oppressing the ants, and Flik recruits some "warriors", that are really circus bugs, to help the ants to stand up to the grasshoppers before its too late.
Who is Thumper and what has he done?
Here's his proposal for reference: User blog:Pixarfan1234/Pure Evil Proposal: Thumper.
Why doesn't he qualify?
This is the issue.
Ok, so first off, I don't think he fails to Hopper. Yeah, he isn't as bad as him, but I feel he stands out due to being a vital part of Hopper keeping the ants in line by acting like a attack dog to the ants, nor is his agency concerning since he can restrain himself like where he was hanging in the hideout without acting psychotic and acting cool instead, yet there is one thing that I think should be relooked.
And that is the scene where he, along with the other grasshoppers, were shocked when Hopper buried men of his in a pile of grain, killing them, OK, so the argument of why it didn't hold up in the proposal was that it was more of shock that it came out of nowhere rather then standards, but Thumper, along with the other grasshoppers, was clearly looking with them on what Hopper just did to men of his by burying them in a pile of grain, and Thumper even shows a shocked expression when it happened, and Thumper didn't look somewhere else before seeing the pile, he just saw what happened and was shocked at it.
So like Hopper himself, who doesn't count as PE either as he is honorable due to keeping his mother's promise on not to kill Molt despite wanting to kill him, even if that moment is for a few seconds, Thumper ends up showing, even if slight, standards against his own commander Hopper for burying men of his in a pile of grain, seeing the entire thing with a shocked expression along with the other shocked grasshoppers, so yeah, he ultimately shows clear standards on what Hopper just did to men of his.
Verdict
Cut.
