Shan Yu

The villain, Shan Yu, made his appearance in Disney's Mulan.  I tried to think of a more entertaining title for this guy, but he maybe speaks three time throughout the whole film.  If you would like a short summary of the movie, check out my post titled "The Flower That Blooms in Adversity."

Pros:
- Powerful: He creates a powerful army and is a great leader in regards to that.  He does an okay job of trying to take over China.  If it weren't for Mulan, he may have been successful.
- Strong and Resilient: A mountain falls on him, and he somehow manages to survive as well as continue to fight.  A MOUNTAIN!

Cons:
- Underestimates his opponent: He underestimated Mulan and her strength in being a woman.  This was the common view point back then; women did not fight.  Mulan showed him.
- Merciless: He didn't care who was in his way, he would kill, hurt, and destroy anyone or anything he had to.  He even did it for the heck of it.
- Vengeful:  Like many villains, revenge fuels their actions.  Although this doesn't explain Shan Yu's reasoning behind taking over China, it does explain his anger towards "Ping."
