His Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- He kidnapped and stole lots of livestock from farms, sometimes using his yodeling to hypnotize them, so that he could sell them with his partner in crime, Mr. Wesley, and become rich by buying any farm he wants.
- He sold 300 cattles to be killed for food, and planning to do so with 5000 more cattles.
- He is shown to be abusive towards his nephews, the Willie Brothers, for their stupidity such as the part where they mistook him for Yancy O'Dell when he put on a disguise, hitting them in the aftermath.
- He tried to prevent the three cows from saving Patch of Heaven by placing them in one of the cattle cars of Mr. Wesley’s train.
- He attempted to buy Patch of Heaven farm under the disguise of Yancy O'Dell.
- When Maggie, Mrs. Calloway, and Grace tried to stop him, he pulled out his pistol and pointed it at them.
- When being trapped on a ruined smokestack of a steam locomotive, he refused to concede defeat by trying to yodel, which hypnotized Maggie and Mrs. Calloway.
- He is aware of the cows' intelligence, as he suspected the trio had it out for him, was shocked when seeing them operating an engine before trying to kill them, and directly talked to Maggie about the battle not being over after he was stuck in the smoke stack of the engine.
- Him being rejected by Ranches due to his yodeling is too petty to make him tragic.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is far too comedic to be PE or NPE, particularly due to his method of hypnotizing cows literally being yodeling and when he shows off his Yancy O’Dell disguise to his nephews.
- He can be somewhat of a butt-monkey, as he consistently ends up in a humiliating defeat, especially with the shenanigans that he gets pushed through by the three cows, Lucky Jack, and the other farm animals in the climax.
Trivia[]
- He used to be Villainous Benchmark, due to many people claiming he didn't know the cows were sapient. However, it was pointed out that he actually did know, so he was re-evaluated as Inconsistently Heinous.
- In an earlier script for the film when it was called Sweatin Bullets, Alameda Slim would have been an undead rustler who plotted to kill various herds of cattle in revenge for having been trampled to death years before. Had this version of the film been made, Slim's Inconsistently Heinous status might have been affected, possibly being Pure Evil or Near Pure Evil.
