Just wanted to talk about something... This in particular: wiki/Boris_the_Animal
He's listed as "Pure Evil", but not to be a Lilly Poison, I highly doubt it.
Let's see.
- "He is an intergalactic criminal and the last known member of the Boglodite race, as well as their presumed leader." — Intergalactic? So far he only threatened Earth. Presumed leader? Got any proof? He doesn't act like one. To add up, in 1969 he is depicted as being rather... let's say, immature.
- "He is cruel, sadistic, and treacherous, and the pitch of his voice changes constantly through the movie" — Cruel? Yes. Sadistic? Possibly. Treacherous? Well, I guess? Pitch of the voice is changing because there are two of them, the old Boris and the younger Boris. So DEER FLUFFING DAMN, OF COURSE his voice would change! He had nearly 45 Earth years of practice!
- "He wanted to deactivate the ArcNet Shield to allow his fellow Boglodites perform an invasion and feed on Planet Earth." — He wanted the thing to never be activated in the first place.
- "Boris the Animal has a fearsome reputation of being brutal, cunning, sadistic, loathsome and traitorous, so much that he was locked up at LunarMax on the moon and chained like an animal." — Fearsome reputation? Probably, but it's applicable only the old Boris. I agree with «Cunning» and partially with «Sadistic», but brutal? Loathsome?! Also, he wasn't chained like an animal because he was sadistic and loathsome. He was chained like an animal because he damn tried to let his kin consume the Earth.
- "Completely antagonistic, obsessed, and vengeful, Boris is a preposterous sociopath with no concern of human or alien life." — Antagonistic to whom exactly? Obsessed — well, his species/clan was wiped out because of Kay's actions, so of course he'd be pissed to no end and feeling obsessed with destroying at least the person who did it. Same goes to being vengeful. He's not "obsessed and vengeful" just because. He has a reason to feel this way, and a pretty valid reason, I must say. As for "preposterous sociopath"… Why preposterous?! To add up, while he might as well be a sociopath, with little to no concern for human (technically, humans are aliens for him, by the way) or alien life, it is because the boglodites most likely feel superior to other species, as they feed on their planets. Why would he feel any concern for the life of something that is his food?
-"He would murder anyone who got in his way or just for the sadistic entertainment, even if they were people who had helped him in the past such as a fellow LunarMax prisoner named Obadiah Price, and his girlfriend who had helped him escape." — Let's see… Even if he hadn't killed them, they would die either way, as they cannot breathe without air. So at some point he might've given Obadiah a better death than what awaited the other ones after the air got sucked out. As for "sadistic entertainment", the only thing we saw close to "entertainment" was when he let go of Lilly's hand.
-"The only thing that Boris cares about is his henchman dubbed the "Weasel" who he treats like a pet." — He's a symbiote, not just a "henchman" so to say. Also, maybe… "whom" would've fit better.
-"Boris has an aggressive sense of humor when he had just arrived at Coney Island. He threatened to rip off a man's hand if he touched his bike." — "If you want to keep that, I wouldn't" counts as a threat now? Hell, I would react the same if someone whom I don't know tried to touch my belongings.
-"Boris can be highly arrogant at times and despises being called by his nickname, if someone would do so he would angrily correct them." — Probably the only line I 100% agree with. Arrogance killed the boglodite in the end.
-"While he is incredibly violent and heartless, he is quite intelligent and manipulative at times and has a total understanding of paradoxes." — Also sorta true, but I wouldn't call him "extremely heartless" since he is shown to care for at least one living thing — the Weasel. Most likely there were two of them. As for "total understanding of paradoxes" — most likely it's an understanding of a time travel, rather than paradoxes.
-"Boris is notoriously known for holding grudges and wanted revenge on K for removing his arm despite that it was 43 years ago." — Well, despite it being 43 years, Kay literally destroyed his species/clan and blast his arm off, that's a pretty fgoddamn valid reason to hold a grudge like he did.
Also, as usual, BOGLODITES ARE NOT DAMN PARASITES THEY ARE PREDATORS
Parasites require their host to stay alive, so they can drain its resources. Predators kill the prey. Boglodites do not keep the "host planet" alive, they strip all resources and move on.
-"Griffin, the rightful possessor of the ArcNet Shield" — We don't know if he's a "rightful possessor" or no. We just know he had it. There was no backstory on how he obtained the thing in the first place, he might have stolen it for all we know (and in Creatureverse, he did steal it indeed, but that's another story)
-"Boris' goals are similar to those of Edgar the Bug and Serleena" — His goal was to let his species live. Edgar wanted a thing to help his specie, but the Galaxy wasn't a dire need to help save the whole bug race. Serleena also didn't need the light to let her kylothian species live, it was more of a political matter. Sure, they all were after some MacGuffin thing, but obtaining said MacGuffin wasn't their full goal!
-"He was willing to take down countless targets (including his own girlfriend Lily) to ensure that his species will drain Earth of its energies in order to survive, even killing J's father out of spite against K for foiling his plans. He is also the only MIB villain from the live action films to be Pure Evil." — Again, he was fighting for his species to survive. Of course he would be willing to fight the whole universe. He's not "pure evil" just because, he has a reason to act like that.
TL;DR: While Boris is most definitely not good at the slightest, and I'm not writing this to make him seem like a poor misunderstood victim (he's totally not one)… Calling him «Pure Evil» is a little too darn much.
