| ~ Present Boris begrudgingly telling his past incarnation why he chose to spare him despite hating him. |
Boris, also better known as Boris the Animal, is the main antagonist of the 2012 sci-fi comedy film Men in Black 3.
He is an intergalactic criminal and the last known member of the Boglodite race, as well as their presumed leader. He was apprehended by Agent K at Cape Canaveral in Florida on July 16, 1969. He is cruel, sadistic, and treacherous to the point where the pitch of his voice changes constantly throughout the movie. He wanted to deactivate the ArcNet Shield to allow his fellow Boglodites to perform an invasion and feed on Planet Earth.
He was portrayed by Jemaine Clement.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- He killed lots of aliens and humans whilst lacking the slightest fraction of regret for any of their lives, earning his moniker the Animal.
- While it is easy on a first watch to view Boris as a tragic villain considering he's the last of his species, any attempt of sympathy from this sob story is rendered moot when J learns the Boglodites are a nomadic, warlike species of murderous and ravenous aliens that destroy many planets across the galaxy in their conquest for their next meal to the point where most aliens agree the galaxy is most likely better off with them extinct.
- Even if that weren't the case, Boris clearly views being the last of his kind as a burden he is owed compensation for, with that being the entire extinction of humanity rather than a motivation to make up for the sins of his species.
- It is also never revealed if he ever cared for his species as there is evidence that he only cares for himself, and it is likely he aided them because he would get paid for it.
- Him losing his arm is also never played for sympathy because it is far too petty as an excuse for his crimes.
- He stages a prison escape by having his "girlfriend" Lilly smuggle in his symbiotic partner, Weasel, using the latter to kill 2 guards during his escape.
- Reneged on the deal with Obadiah Price and killed him during the prison breakout.
- Killed dozens of guards by getting them sucked into the vacuum of space, then remorselessly disposing of his "girlfriend" by allowing Lilly to be airlocked, only consoling her with a sarcastic and cruel “apology”, implying that he loved the cake she gave him more than her.
- He used a time jump device to travel back to July 16, 1969, to murder Agent K so he can start the Boglodite invasion on Earth in the present 2012 and wipe out the planet.
- He sets a trap for Kay and Jay by luring them to Wu's restaurant where they're attacked by several alien criminals. During which, he kills Wu and attempts to kill Kay before Jay rescues him.
- On July 15, 1969, he threatened to rip a man's arm off if he touched his motorbike in any way. While this was only a threat, it still shows Boris' cruel personality with little provocation and he would've very likely hurt him if he didn’t respect Boris’ request to not touch his bike.
- Murdered Roman the Fabulist after refusing to reveal the Arc Net Shield at Coney Island.
- Murders another alien during his search for Griffin the Archanan.
- Crashes a party and kills several partygoers while hunting Griffin.
- Kidnaps Griffin and attempts to steal the ArcNet from him.
- He disliked his past self and would've killed him if it means he wouldn't cease to exist after his death. Incidentally, his past self smugly considers himself superior to his future self, though it is left ambiguous as to whether he would kill his future self.
- His past counterpart murders Agent J's father, Colonel Edwards, when he makes one last attempt to kill Agent K, then attempts to goad K into arresting him, intending to repeat the cycle.
- Although he does exhibit care for Weasel, it's only because he's either an effective tool/weapon for him or is (more likely) an extension of Boris' will and consciousness than a pet since his Boglodite biology indicates that he has multiple entryways that allow creatures like Weasel to travel through and can activate them at will.
- Despite him having some comedic moments, he is still mostly taken seriously, especially because his comedy is never exclusive from his cruelty and more often than not emphasizes it.
- Despite not being as dangerous as Serleena, she has way more resources than him, so they cannot be compared.
