And got stripped of his rank and banished to a dirtball of a planet for his failure, to the point where he has to cut deals with a known wanted supervillain just to survive. I'd be bitter, too.

He was going to kidnap and threatened to kill Lilo. He had it coming.

In his defense it's not like Humans were considered sapient or had rights.

It's like if a cop was chasing a criminal and captured a baby panda for him to eat on the way to jail. It's fucked up but the worst you could do is fire the guy or give him a couple of months in a low security prison.

He can clearly see they're sapient. That's bs.

because he overstepped his mission parameters and took lilo along with stitch

the chancellor woman reveals that they do recognize humans as sapient, the mosquito thing was really just a legal excuse, and she meets with cobra bubbles as she would anyone else

I mean not all Antagonist are evil, but it's not like Disney is ever going to make a kids movie where it's not clear who the badguy is, I guess with Frozone being the exception.

He doesn't have to be evil to be the story's antagonist.

Oh he can see, he just doesn't give a shit. A talking dog is still a dog, even if it can beg for it's life.

I mean yeah she knows because she's in charge, but legal fiction is still legal. So long as it's on the books you can't call it murder without changing the law before you arrested him. Like it's still fucked up, but if you don't have it as a crime of murder by the time of the arrest you cant retroactively call it that.

*Frozen not Frozone

>the mental image of Frozone singing Let it Go in an ice tux as he freezes the city

That is such a shitty justification that I'm now convinced you're actually a cop

>A talking dog is still a dog, even if it can beg for it's life.
That's the part that answers "He's evil because..."

Hes evil because he fucks up everything in the path of him and his target. A cop who runs through the street firing a shotgun into a crowd to hit one guy wouldnt be a cop anymore either.

>In his defense it's not like Humans were considered sapient or had rights.
do you have zero empathy? are laws really the only thing stopping you from killing whatever you like?

No, bu because he wanted to eat a native intelligent species.

He represents the arm of authority, the same way Bubbles does. Lilo's always under the threat of being taken away by her only remaining family, even if logically you can see why she might be better off in a more stable environment. So Bubbles is set up as a scary bad guy, even though he's just doing his job and looking out for kids who might be in danger. Some may even be on his side, because despite how much they care about each other Nani is objectively not doing a good job of parenting Lilo.

Gantu is that same agent of authority, carrying out his orders even if we might morally disagree with his goals. We don't want to see Lilo get taken away from her home, and when we realize that Stitch doesn't have to be a force of destruction but can actually be chill, we don't want to see him end up in space jail for the crime of existing. Gantu is here to recover a dangerous fugitive, but this is only a bad thing because of what we've learned about Stitch. These characters aren't evil, they're just antagonists whose goals are opposed to the wants and needs of the protagonists. I've always like that about this movie, there's no out-and-out villain (although Gantu does kidnap Lilo which is pretty villainous), it's more a story about people ending up in bad situations beyond their control, and the fight is against the natural consequences of those situations.

The councilwoman is the real villain here, she mistreated the shit out of her underlings. She also sent an innocent weakling like Pleakley on a dangerous mission as a babysitter of a crazy convict 5 times his size whom he predictably wasn't able to control, then when the duo wasn't able to capture Stitch in the given time frame she decided to have them BOTH incarcerated which caused Jumba to go on a rampage and destroy Lilo's house, and at the end of the movie she abandoned Pleakley on Earth. She also kept forgetting their names. What a turbo bitch.

Gantu was dismissed but didn't actually get stuck on Earth until he joined up with evil space gerbil, which I don't buy was motivated by desperation more than pride lol. And he makes up for it and gets his rank back later down the line

Gantu did nothing wrong
