NOTE: This is an April Fools joke proposal, so please don't take this seriously.
Mr. Millet: An irredeemable manchild who is a waste of air.

This is an April Fools special, and this joke proposal will be for Mr. Millet from Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie. Let's get right to it!
On a side note, Mr. Millet isn't actually PE, since this is not only a joke proposal, but he's a Villainous Benchmark who fails the baseline due to being unaware that he was kidnapping Twinken and his worst act of nearly endangering everyone at the Apple Parade was unintentional. Besides, he's too comedic and insufficiently characterized to count anyway, so if he was heinous enough, he would be IH, not PE. Also, most of the "What has he done?" section was taken from the Villains Wiki, but as I created Mr. Millet's page on the Villains Wiki, this isn't plagiarism.
What's the Work?[]
Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie is a 1998 kids movie about the lovable purple dinosaur himself as he goes on an adventure to help three kids return an egg with a dream-maker inside to a barn before it hatches.
Who is He?[]
Mr. Millet is a minor antagonist in the film. He is Mrs. Goldfinch's personal delivery man and the kidnapper of Twinken the Dream Maker, though he wasn't aware he was kidnapping him. He is also Barney the Dinosaur's arch-nemesis.
What has he done?[]
Mr. Millet has a very small role in the movie. Before appearing onscreen, he is known as a reprehensible familial abuser who repeatedly screamed at his wife every day for 2 years and later sold her into sex slavery where she was then forced to go to a Nazi death camp where she was beaten and raped to death by some fanatics who worship Adolf Hitler. When his 8 kids found out (as he has 4 sons and 4 daughters), they got enraged and resented their father Mr. Millet, and they all ganged up on him and tried to kill him, but 4 of them (2 boys and 2 girls) decided to commit suicide due to being mentally hurt, meaning he essentially broke four of his kids just for kicks. He then organized a massive criminal club called the "Nazi Rapists Clan", where people are trained to become racist sex offenders who kidnap thousands of women every 7 days before raping them to forcibly impregnate them where Mr. Millet then brainwashes the women's newborn babies into Nazis, suicide bombers, drug dealers and/or flat-out sexual abusers. He then kills the women and babies and he is confirmed to have been doing this for at least 10 years, giving him a huge body count.
In the movie, he is first seen driving towards Mrs. Goldfinch’s house and asking her if she’s okay out of pragmatism, to which she replies by saying hello to him and saying she’s having a good day. Before he forces Barney and his friends to chase him, he says goodbye to Mrs. Goldfinch and drives away despite taking Twinken’s egg with him (though he wasn’t aware of it). This led to Marcella coming up with an idea: Having Barney, Cody and Abby ride with her on a horse named Agnes.
Even when Barney and the kids kept calling out to him to return Twinken’s egg to them, Mr. Millet ignored them, though it’s unknown if he intentionally refused to listen to them or if he couldn’t hear them properly. He would then proceed to cook and drive at the same time by making a milkshake, burger and fries for himself to eat while driving. This leads to him running over some animals and people along the way, to which he expresses no remorse for. However, little does he know, he is driving towards the town’s Apple Parade. Just before he can take a bite out of his burger, Officer McQuade blows a whistle to warn him that he needs to stop otherwise he could ruin the parade and kill hundreds of people, causing Mr. Millet to slam on the brakes and stop his truck quickly only for the barrel that has the egg to slip out and roll away right into the parade.
Mr. Millet is never seen again after this, and his last scene has him looking distressed in his truck as the way he hit the brakes caused the food and drink in his truck to fly everywhere. Though, Barney does forgive him for stealing Twinken's egg while passing by while Cody, Abby and Marcella don't even pay attention to him as they were too busy riding on Agnes the Horse.
Heinous Standards[]
Well, the movie's heinous standard is ridiculously low, as Cody is a mere jerk and the Collector only commits theft.
However, saying that Mr. Millet passes the baseline is a huge understatement; He yelled at his wife and raped her multiple times for 2 years in a row, and he then sold her as a sex slave before letting some racist men send her to a Nazi death camp where she was killed by being assaulted and raped by Nazis. This also broke four of his own children when they find out, resulting in them committing suicide. He then formed a club where people are taught how to be rapists, mass murderers and Nazis. Not to mention he has the club members abduct numerous women and rape them to the point where they're pregnant and right after that, he then proceeds to painfully brainwash the babies into Nazis, suicide bombers, drug dealers or sexual abusers/rapists (otherwise known as sex criminals). He has also done this for a WHOLE DECADE, so his kill count is between millions to billions, so his body count is downright incalculable despite being in a KIDS MOVIE of all movies.
While we don't actually see his vilest crimes happen onscreen, it still had some clear effects as there are 4 of Mr. Millet's kids (2 boys and 2 girls) grieving their siblings and mother's deaths at a graveyard, and one of them consider shutting down the "Nazi Rapists Clan" that Mr. Millet orchestrated due to the disturbing and damaging effect it had on society, so this isn't offscreen villainy. As for his worst crimes onscreen, he kidnaps Twinken (a child god) while he was still in an egg and attempted to massacre the entirety of a city during an Apple Parade, which could have caused hundreds of casualties had Officer McQuade not stopped Mr. Millet.
Mitigating Factors[]
Are you insane? He has redeeming qualities? Okay, that's nuts. Dude's affability is all an act to cover up his true nature and he doesn't show much genuine care for Mrs. Goldfinch besides being her servant and personal delivery man and everything "nice" he does to her is pragmatic. He also has a giant plethora of comedic moments, but absolutely none of them detract from his heinousness and this sick dude is taken max level seriously as a terrifying threat in the movie. Even Barney the Dinosaur was terrified upon hearing about his past crimes to the point he is literally completely unaware of Mr. Millet's existence. Sheesh.
Final Verdict[]
Based on everything I have included in this proposal, I will say yes to having Mr. Millet (also known as "an abusive husband who rapes his wife while screaming at her and then 2 years later he turns her into a sex slave against her will before letting a group of Nazis capture her and send her to a death camp where she was killed and raped by fanatical Hitler worshippers, which psychologically broke four of his kids and drove them into suicide, and he then founded a club where he trains people into becoming mass-murdering rapists or simply racist Nazis by forcing his friends to kidnap thousands of women and forcibly impregnate them via rape to give birth to infants he will instantly brainwash painfully into becoming Nazis, suicide bombers, drug smugglers, serial killers or sex criminals") approved as PE.
