Define “too much”.
 
@Background Pony #6B0E  
I haven’t seen “Moana”, admittedly, but there’s a big difference between the Storm King and Oogie Boogie’s role in the storyline of their respective movies. Oogie Boogie is not supposed to be responsible for the main plot of The Nightmare Before Christmas.
 
Also, Oogie Boogie is far more entertaining than the Storm King, but I suppose that’s subjective. (Maybe if the Storm King had gotten a decent musical number…)

@Jacktheguy  

 
I could not agree less.

Yeah, the Grievous we see in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars is lame. He gets his ass handed to him so often. He hardly ever kills a Jedi or bests someone in combat. He’s predictable. He’ll brag and cough, fight his opponent fairly then the odds will tip slightly in his enemy’s favor and he’ll run away.
 
I MUCH prefer the Grievous from the 2003 Clone Wars series. Unlike this one, he was an actual Jedi murderer. He was forcing groups of Jedi to fight for their very lives, not bragging endlessly about how they’re doomed and can’t possibly defeat him. For the most part he remained silent, focused entirely on the hunt. He was fast, powerful, skilled, and able to give multiple Jedi a very close fight to the point where they’re giving it their all just to stay alive. He was downright scary, a real monster.

Or Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas

You know, this is kind of like saying Tamatoa from Moana was dissapointing.

@Scrounge  
Well there is the issue that adults hunger for a more intense, high stakes kind of conflict that might scare children too much.

I remember hearing this back when I saw it in the first Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged movie and I thought “And the reason is? It better not be because he’s from the Prequel era.”

You got to feel sorry for Grivous though. Those B1 battle droids may be funny to watch, but boy, you do not want to work with them…

@ArcaneAegis  
General Kenobi, you are a bold one.

@Ninji  
If that was what they were going for, it’s a good idea but I think it’s fair to say that the implementation fell flat for most people.

I think the Storm King stands as a perfect enemy to the way ponies live their lives.
 
The ponies don’t have much in terms of government and rules, they function as a society because they’re all generally loving and tolerant.
 
Storm King is the opposite. He’s an asshole, a bully, he does whatever he wants, because no one will stop him, and he will not abide to love or tolerance.
 
He’s a naturally born opposition, simply because nothing is going to stop him, a bully.

General Grivous is great.  

 
And the Storm King was not bad either (even if he doesn´t get enough time).
 

 

 
THIS is a disappointing villain.  

@Ninji  
I’m not gonna say she was faking it, if only because it’s atypical for the series to have a change of heart be insincere. But even if her change of heart at the end was legitimate, it still wouldn’t change what she’d done up until then and why she did it.
 
@ArcaneAegis  
That doesn’t make him any less disappointing as movie villain. If anything, it makes his portrayal in Episode III more disappointing because it falls so far short of his role in either of the Clone Wars cartoons.

@Scrounge  
She doesn’t care about consequences, she was only sad she lost when she came up with that no friends excuse.

@Background Pony #166C  
Vignette wasn’t sad/bitter. Quite the opposite, she was so vain and self-centered that she didn’t care what happened to anyone else as long as she kept trending.

nice, It said everything

@ArcaneAegis  
I have.

@Background Pony #99D1  
So was discord (if he was in it).

tbh tempest was the real villain of the movie. The Storm King was more of a plot device.

Well someone hasn’t seen The Clone Wars

He is cool. He gave up empathy for power, he’s a true role model.

@Joshua  
In a long line of ’em, yes. Nightmare Moon, Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Tempest, Stygian, Juniper Montage, Wallflower and Vignette Valencia.

@Background Pony #166C  
Are you suggesting Tempest was the sad/bitter villain?
