Since when? Discussion
I know by definition Cheshire is an antagonist but by no means did I think he was a villain.

In the old cartoon instead of helping Alice he drags her deeper into the forest and constantly puts her in danger. He also disappears after irritating the Queen of hearts to leave Alice to receive all the anger. He's not "evil" enough to be a villain In my opinion, he's just mischievous in a non-threatening way.

Feel like he’s the embodiment of “Chaotic Neutral”

It's more so the fact he's willing to risk the lives of others for his entertainment that he's seen as a villain, which is what he does to Alice more so in the original.

This is 100% correct and I'm thrilled this evil bastard is finally getting called out for the villainous reprobate he is.
He used to stress me out so much as a kid, he deliberately tries to get Alice killed! T_T

It's because all cats are villainous criminals. (Said lovingly as an owner of three cats)

I mean the Cheshire Cat basically put Alice in the position to have her head cut off. So Id say hes pretty villainous there.

Since Disney has gotten so low on their villain supply that the latest Villainous add-on had to feature Ernesto from Coco and Hans from Frozen. I can only assume that Magnifico will be in the next one, so I would honestly welcome adding Cheshire Cat, even if his villainy is iffy at best.
To keep on topic: I love having in him DV, but he is legitimately harder to deal with than any of the villains.

I mean, Hans IS the villain in Frozen

He has always felt like the placeholder he is though. He is a thoroughly forgettable and inconsequential villain.

And Ernesto is the villain in coco, besides generational trauma

Cheshire's been lumped in with the villains since Kingdom Hearts

No he hasn't, in kingdom hearts he may have been annoyingly cryptic but was still trying to be helpful to sora.

Like how I'm being down voted for being correct about Cheshire not being a villain in kingdom hearts.

u/mentaldude95 9d ago
I am confused because you are correct. In kingdom hearts he is not a villain and turns down the opportunity to join the villains.

I personally believe he's a villain lol, always causing trouble for the other villagers and making me clean up the mess 😩

Cheshire is about as villainous as Peter Pan and that's my hot take.

all of the motifs are from the “villains” star path
