What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- While he had a somewhat sympathetic backstory and Freudian Excuse that he was not loved by his father, the previous emperor of Sakaar, but that doesn't excuse his horrible and atrocious actions, because he murdered his own family, including his own wife and children, to avoid being overthrown by his successors and he was willing to kill his own daughter when he learned that she survived and is now the rightful heir of the Sakaar's throne.
- In his most notorious moral event horizon, Red King murdered the entire population of Sakaar village by massacring all innocent people with his created horrible plague, known as the Spikes. He dod this to find and obtain the warrior, who possessed the Old Power and make him his personal bodyguard. And while he saves Caiera, after he finds her to possess these abilities, but he does this purely put of pragmatism, not out of any genuine care for the innocent girl, who lost her entire family, including her parents and younger sister. He also later personally admitted this crime to her himself and later subverted saving her life, by personally ordering his soldiers to kill Caiera.
- He ordered his servants to weaken and capture any creatures, who arrive to Sakaar through the portals to serve as his slaves and gladiators of his unfair and violent arena battles.
- He enforces the unfair and cruel gladiator fights in his kingdom and forces the innocent aliens to fight to death on the arena. And while he pretends that he does this to entertain his people with fighting, but in reality he does it purely for his own entertainment.
- He turns Hulk and his Warbound against many robotic monsters and creatures, and the most horrifying thing was that he forced Korg to fight and kill Margus and his own brothers by brainwashing them and forcing the brainwashed Kronans to kill one of the Warbound members, Lavin Skee, who was loved by Elloe Kaifi, causing her a great grief and leaving a great psychological trauma on the minds of the warbound.
- He brainwashes Silver Surfer (in the comic book version) and Beta Ray Bill (in the animated movie version) and turned the benevolent heroic warriors into the rampaging berserks, while also turning them against Hulk and his Warbound.
- When Hulk and his friends refused to kill Elloe in exchange for their freedom, he orders to kill them and he would killed the heroes if not the interference of Bill.
- He crosses moral event horizon completely by unleashing the Spikes again at his own people, and the most abhorrent thing about Angmo was that he put the entire life, millions of innocent lives on Sakaar on the risk, just to defeat and get rid of only Hulk and his friends. This atrocities were so horrifying and monstrous that even Caiera, who previously loyally obeyed her master, righteously called him to stop this madness. And even in that case King didn't care about that and even taunted Caiera that he would kill her too if she would show even the slightest compassion to the rebels.
- He infects Hulk with his parasites and causes the tragic hero a great pain and torture with this.
- He and his armies captures Hulk's friends and he prepared to personally execute them as a treason against the ruler of Sakaar empire.
- After being defeated by Hulk, he showed absolutely no remorse for his atrocities and only pathetically begged them for mercy, only to be infected by Caiera with his own Spikes. He also subverted any care he had, or at least feigned towards Caiera, when he personally ordered his Dead Heads soldiers to kill her along with Hulk and his friends. Overall, there was nothing sympathetic in his death, and it was treated like a deserved karma for his tyranny and mass murder, no matter how horrible it seemed.
Trivia[]
- Only the movie version of Red King qualifies as Pure Evil, because this version of the character never redeemed himself and is completely evil with nothing prevents this, but his original comic book counterpart redeemed himself genuinely and shows remorse for his crimes to his daughter.
- He is currently the only Hulk Pure Evil to originate from the movies.
