Turbo from Ralph is good and unexpected villian too and with good subtle hints as well.

You can’t just make a character start being evil with no explanation or foreshadowing or any character hints whatsoever. It makes the viewer feel cheated.
King Candy was already a good villain to begin with, coming off more as a well-intentioned extremist. He gave Ralph what he wanted up front with no strings attached, and then convinced him that doing something bad was indeed for the greater good, then came the twist that he was lying the whole time.
Revealing the fact that he has a secret identity was the icing on the cake.
The twist was SO well done and genuinely surprising but also hinted at well with the reveal that King Candy had meddled with the games code plus the fact that it was a RACING game that he’d made himself king of…
Also on a related note, King Candy’s design both before and after he turns into a Literal Bug Monster is one of the most unsettling villain designs in a kids movie since Judge Doom in Who Framed Roger Rabbit
The prince from Frozen wasn’t really an unexpected villain. Elsa was the villain and the hero of her own story. The prince was just the magic mirror and it only showed Anna everything she already felt.
The best part was that we hear Turbo’s theme tune in King Candy’s throne room, and it’s a dead give away but the writers were just ‘we know you won’t pick up on this and will kick yourselves later.’
“In this essay I will” is a meme that only encourages the op to put forth ideas into the world without making a concrete claim allowing them to express ideas on a subject without conclusion while at the same time submitting a thesis as fact
“Thanks for coming to me TED talk,” in contrast, allows the op to claim that whatever statement they’ve said to be their final say on any given topic, but also allows people to grow on it as well, as are the nature of TED talks
We are creating shortcuts in communication and I love it
