That moment when the animators flex that close-up animation to let us privately investigate a character's personality or either show a tintillating state of insanity of the beloved character's meanwhile blessing us with the specific knowledge of their irises' colour full HD maximum details

(plus allowing me to finally have the perfect pantone's shade to apply in fantasy scenarios before going to sleep )

(eyes...pretty eyes...)

If I was isekai-ed into Toontown, while possibly meeting the blorbos above, visualise me like Sid from Ice Age in the scene when he goes "you have beautiful eyes" one inch from Manny's face

Rourke isn't as evil as people think.

Hear me out on this

Rourke may not have gone through with the plan if he actually had any idea of what the Big Shiny Thing was actually capable of.

Remember, Rourke thinks it's just "some kind of a diamond" as Milo puts it. Even if Thaddeus had told him otheewise before, he clearly didn't believe it, as shown by the line "What's to know? It's big, it's shiny, it's gonna make us all rich." He's not buying Milo's "you don't know what you're tampering with", because in his mind, Milo is just trying to intimidate him out of his plan. Since Rourke doesn't know about Milo reading the murals (thinks he just went swimming), he thinks Milo's BSing the whole "it keeps the people alive thing". That's important too.

Rourke does not ever truly believe the crystal is keeping the people alive.

And why would he? The idea sounds completely absurd to someone with zero knowledge beyond "it's big and shiny". Even after Kida is transformed, though he's a little more wary of the crystal, he hides it and tries to go through with the original plan, because that's what he's been trained to do, to see a mission through to the end no matter what obstacles arise or what personal thoughts/feelings he has (Kida is an unfortunate casualty of the kind someone like Rourke is way too used to, a civilian caught in the midst of military combat, though to him, she's a civilian from the Enemy side). But he still does not believe in its connection to the people.

He also doesn't ever know that the crystal itself can be a weapon, and a catastrophically destructive one at that. Milo only finds this out after Rourke leaves, when he visits the dying king (if the mushroom cloud at the beginning of the film is any clue, the thing is like a very, very powerful nuke). And had that information been given, the difference between "diamond" and "superweapon" might have been drastic enough to at least make him pause and consider the outcomes. He'd sell a giant shiny rock to other countries, but he doesn't seem like someone who would knowingly give an enemy (or potential enemy) of the US a nuke-on-steroids during a war (WWI started a few months before the film takes place). And if he'd taken that pause, it may have been enough time to convince him of just what the crystal truly is to Atlantis. Maybe even enough time to fully dissuade him from taking it.

But without knowing what it is, and just seeing Kida transformed, yes he's more wary of it, but in his mind, he's in too deep at that point. He's passed the point of no return, there's no option to abort the mission anymore, not without risking a mutiny from the soldiers with them, so he has no choice but to continue. If he was truly out to kill people, he could easily have just shot Milo and the other deserters or had the soldiers shoot them. He never does, never considers it. After Kida transforms, he never points a gun at anyone or has someone else point a gun at anyone until the battle in the volcano starts. The two soldiers who shove Milo back don't point their guns at him, they cross them to form a barrier and push him. They don't use them as guns.

I guess my point is that killing people was never a part of Rourke's original plan, and is never his actual goal, and that seems to be hugely overlooked, despite how very important that should be to any analysis of him as a character.

Seriously, what is it about these two jerks that makes me smile so big?! And how can they make being bad look like so much fun?!

Disney Duel 2; Round 3 of 15: Leaders of Sci-Fi Flops

Please remember, these movies were box office flops. Trust me, it sucks to refer to Treasure Planet as anything other than a masterpiece, but it is what it is.

LOL!! It's not perfect but i wanted to showoff
