Hello everyone, here I'll introduce a new blog series I'll be doing here. It's called "Evil Is Hot", based on the song from The Toxic Avenger musical. I made an AMV to the song if you want to see what started all this.
Evil is a strange thing. If you're evil, you're either really ugly or really hot without a lot of middle ground. Though evil itself has become something of a sexy trait in general. This series will focus on the charming, alluring, and sometimes downright sexy characters we wouldn't mind joining their side for their cookies. Since the main themes of the blog are going to be games and animation, I'll stick mostly with those.
If your favourite character isn't listed and you want to pitch an idea, feel free to message me and you can contribute.
Before I get onto our first subject, there is something important I should mention:
-This is FOR FUN above all else! The maker and viewers of these entries are well aware that you can't have a relationship with a fictional character. Nothing is unhealthy about joking around about this stuff unless you're like those weird Twilight fangirls that would beat the shit out of people for thinking Edward isn't sexy.
-I'm technically of no sexual orientation. I'll list both male and female characters to have a balance.
-The blog does not endorse bestiality or zoophilia, even when there are animals listed. Animals in fiction are often anthromorphized in ways that are appealing and relatable for a human audience. For example, personality, human physical characteristics (no not like boobs and such), and voice acting/actor.
-None of these characters are in any order.
-There is an EXTREMELY good chance of spoilers as plot and crimes are discussed.
So, now that we have that out of the way, let's get started with our first entry!
ZIRA
The Queen Of The Outlanders
FROM THE LION KING 2: SIMBA'S PRIDE
Voice: Suzanne Pleshette
What Makes Her Evil: Attempted to take The Pridelands by force, several attempts of murdering the royal family of The Pridelands, child abuse and neglect (several counts), set The Pridelands on fire, exiled for crimes not mentioned in the movie, committed suicide (in original cut), being batshit insane.
What Makes Her Hot: Her oddly...er...alluring body positions when she's singing her "lullabye", if you're into that sort of stuff, being batshit insane
Plot: When we see her in the movie, we find out that she has an older son (Nuka), a younger son (Kovu), and...what could possibly be a daughter (Vitani) since the movie never explained. Using Kovu's friendship with princess Kiara, Zira uses him to get Simba alone for an ambush. After brainwashing her son, she sets the grass ablaze for Kovu to save Kiara and allowing Simba to trust him and be moved into position later on. When Simba is alone, she and the pride attack but with Kovu having a change of heart. With that betrayl, Kovu accidentally kills Nuka by letting Simba escape, and Zira casts him out. Being the last straw, Zira launches an attack on The Pridelands. When Nuka and Kiara convince both sides to stop, Zira launches herself forward and rolls down a flooding chasm with Kiara. In the released version, Zira slides off the rocks while Kiara reaches for her. In the cut version, Zira purposely lets herself go to her death in refusal to allow Kiara to save her.
-------------------
I decided to start with her since she was the thumbnail image to the AMV, not exactly for being the most evil character I could bring out. Zira has no canon past so we can't comment on what she and her (...mostly all female) pride did to deserve to be exiled to The Outlands. Hell, Simba must be pissed if he would practically send young cubs to their death to rot along with them. But we do know she has a lot of pent up rage about it and a potentially unhealthy obsession over Scar (oh don't worry, we'll get to him soon enough). I quite like Zira for being one of the few somewhat entertaining characters in that movie. Flat, but entertaining. From what I've seen of the cut storyboards, Zira and her family could've had a fairly interesting plot since they originally gave them more history and motivation.

Most of Zira's evil lies in how crazy she is. She's one of those characters where they just have that look of insanity. Look at those eyes, her scrawny body, her pointed face, HER MOUTH AND TEETH! Seriously, every time she opens her mouth she looks out of her bloody mind. Doesn't matter what she's saying or doing, it's just her atmosphere. And then those strange positions she was in during her lullabye scene, that pretty much also lies in her "hotness" as well. She's flaunting around during what's supposed to be a lullabye for her youngest son. Uh, wow. It's just that she's so weird yet can't look away from her. For sure that helped earn her place on this list.
Oh, and in the original cut she committed suicide. That has to count for something. Suicide in the sequel of one of the most beloved kid's movies of our generation? That's pretty gutsy, though a shame they didn't leave it in. Just look at how demented Zira looks when she responds to Kiara's attempt to save her!
