~ Kim Jong-il |
Kim Jong-il is the main antagonist of the 2004 film Team America: World Police.
He is a parody of the late North Korean dictator of the same name, a disguised member of the alien race Zypods from planet Gyron who plans on starting World War III by bombing every major city on Earth.
He was voiced by Trey Parker, who also voices Eric Cartman, Mickey Mouse and many other characters in South Park and Balthazar Bratt in Despicable Me 3.
His Evil Ranking[]
Debated Validations[]
- Since his actual goal was to find a new home for his race, it could be argued that he cares for other Zypods, but it's never revealed if it's the case, meaning he could've taken this mission solely due to having common goals with other Zypods.
- While one could argue his song “I’m So Ronery” gives him some sympathetic insecurities, it’s not mitigating as it doesn’t justify his actions whatsoever and is moreso played for laughs rather than sympathy.
What Makes Him Heinous?[]
- Arranged multiple terrorist attacks around the world.
- Fed Hans Blix to his pet shark when he came looking for WMD's.
- Captured Team America when a mission went sideways and bombed their base in Mount Rushmore.
- Teamed up with the Film Actor's Guild to defame Team America and boost his public image.
- Invites members of the Film Actor's Guild to a fake peace ceremony in North Korea, where he secretly plans to launch the missiles at every major city on Earth and destroy humanity as well as start World War 3, nearly killing billions of innocent people.
- After he is defeated, it's revealed that he's actually an alien cockroach before he escapes and vows revenge against Team America.
- While he mentions in the song "You Are Worthless, Alec Baldwin" that his actual goal was to find a new home for his race, it still doesn't excuse his evil actions, as he never tries to find a less lethal solution to this problem.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- The film relies on the same type of humor that South Park does, meaning nothing is taken seriously and Kim Jong-il is played for laughs far too much to be considered Near Pure Evil.
Trivia[]
- Kim Jong-il is, alongside Balthazar Bratt, one of the two Inconsistently Heinous characters voiced by Trey Parker who aren't from South Park. Fittingly enough, they are both considered irredeemable.
