CHARACTER ANALYSIS #7- Hans from "Penguins of Madagascar" (TV Show)

...

I'm sorry. This character is so annoying and bizarre... AND not Dr. Blowhole. I'm just gonna be brief with this one.

But first...

Hi, I'm the Whatsoever Critic. I review just about anything.

Again, this character is just so bland that... He's just one of Penguins of Madagascar's least-favorite villains. It's Hans the Puffin, you guys.

For those of you who were fortunate enough to pass this villain up (no matter which episode he's in), AND were fortunate enough to disregard him in The Return of the Revenge of Dr. Blowhole, I'll give you the skinny: this villain is said to be one of the idiots that the main character Skipper feuded with because of a certain incident in Denmark.

-Why Denmark? And plus, the entire series doesn't fully explain this backstory...

As a result, throughout the series, Skipper grows to hate Hans.

Hans, in return, tries to get his revenge on Skipper any chance he gets.

Now here are my problems with this guy: Hans is voiced by Dr. Draken (Kim Possible) himself, John DiMaggio, which is kind of odd, because most of our Disney shows are already so odd. 

-Besides, DiMaggio plays other characters on the show, so that would be just as odd. 

Second, this is a villain that can be bad-ass, but constantly act childish to emphasize his being bad.

-Just call him a man-child(?) Or a bird-child, if you will(?)

Third, all he ever did throughout the whole series was try to take over the Penguins' lair and steal a laser gun.

-That's pretty lame... Dr. Blowhole can do better.

Lastly, when he gets caught, Hans gets shipped to Hoboken Zoo (a.k.a. this show's version of Arkham)... only to escape episodes later.

Overall, this was the show's way of phoning in a James Bond style villain for the main character. He doesn't seem to be a legitimate villain, because:

1. He's a man-child, and we all know what happens to man-children... [fill in your own insult here]

2. We never get the whole story of what happened in that Denmark incident with him and Skipper.

3. He's just annoying.

Now, if the Denmark story was presented in an episode, or at least presented in flashbacks, maybe this would've been a stronger villain. Other than that, Hans is bland, unoriginal, and I'm still scratching my head and asking myself why this villain is in that show to begin with.
