Villainous (Spanish; Castilian: '''Villanos''') is a Mexican-American animated television and web series produced by A.I. Animation Studios for Cartoon Network and Max. It was created by Alan Ituriel, a veteran of the animation industry in Mexico.^{[1] [2]} It is based on a 2012 web series of the same name which Ituriel had previously created and was initially picked up by Cartoon Network Latin America as a miniseries of ten one-minute episodes for the Cartoon Network Anything app (further episodes, along with a series of specials, were released later).^{[3] [4]} The series is co-produced by Cartoon Network (through its Latin America Original Production unit) and A.I. Animation Studios.^[5] The series has since expanded onto a media franchise consistent of books and tie-ins.

On October 11, 2021, Ituriel's A.I. Animation Studios revealed that the series would be released on HBO Max Latin America and Cartoon Network Mexico, and premiered on both platforms on October 29, 2021.^{[6] [7]} The series premiered on Max in the United States on May 23, 2023.^[8]

Plot

Villainous follows the story of Black Hat Org., run by the evil mastermind Black Hat (whose name is a synonym for villain, a reference to black-hatted evil cowboys from western movies), and his team of three less-villainous aides.^[9] Black Hat Org's mission is to assist other villains to solve their heroic problems. They sell evil inventions created by Dr. Flug and offer various services, such as advice on how to defeat the hero or take care of the hero themselves. However, things usually end up going wrong as the brilliant innovations and plans tend to have small and often comical flaws.^[10]

Characters

Main

• Black Hat (voiced by Alan Ituriel) is an ancient and malevolent mastermind of unknown origin or species who runs Black Hat Org., appears in all of the ads that the company produces, and is hinted to be the source of all evil in the multiverse. He has seemingly limitless power, and can shapeshift, teleport, manipulate space and reality, conjure objects at will, and open portals to other dimensions with his claws (sometimes even to other Cartoon Network shows). He is shown to be able to play the pipe organ and a violin with strings made of cat guts.^[11] An alternate, muscular Black Hat in "The Perception of Evil" was voiced by Markiplier (who voices 5.0.5.), but in Spanish and English was voiced by Ituriel himself. He is about 6'8" or 203 cm with the tophat and 5'10.5" or 178 cm without.^[12] He also owns a snake named Lil 'Jack, carries a walking stick he created from his own shadow, and can make people go out of their minds if he sings.^[13] He doesn't need to sleep.
• Dr. Kenning "Flug" Flugslys (voiced by Yian Ruiz (English, TV series),^[14] Todd Sayre (English, pilot/shorts) ^[15] and José Antonio Macías (Spanish)^[16]) is a nervous, nerdy, but somewhat kind and respectful scientist who wears multiple paper bags over his head who works for Black Hat. Flugslys means 'aviation accident' or 'plane crash' in Icelandic and Flug has obtained his driver's and pilot's license. Nobody has ever seen his face, except, according to someone working on the show, Black Hat himself. According to a tweet by Alan Ituriel, the reason behind his bag will be revealed once the mini-series becomes a show. He is about 5'9" or 177 cm tall. Despite his kind nature, Flug can be violent, malicious, and cruel when need be. One of his aliases is "La Bolsa de Torta" (The Sandwich Bag). He is a young man at the age of 24–25 years old.
• Demencia (voiced by Cindy Eliz Pérez (English, TV series),^[14] Melaney Sems (English, pilot/shorts) and Melissa Gedeón (Spanish)) is Black Hat's crazed fan and assistant who wears a tracking device. Her outfit is inspired by reptiles and she has a love for destruction, chaos, and mischief. If she crouches down, because of her hair's massive length and color, her hair covers her body and she resembles a lizard. She can play the electric guitar and her favorite song is "Revolution 9" by The Beatles.^[17] She is hinted to be an experiment and is 19–20 years old. She is about 5'7" or 170 cm tall. She can crawl on walls, has enhanced senses, has seemingly superhuman levels of strength despite her thin build, and has shown several times to be cannibalistic.
• 5.0.5. (voiced by Mark "Markiplier" Fischbach^[18]) is one of the Organization's failed experiments that cannot be killed. Intended to be an evil creature, he instead became very loving and enjoys hugging his friends. He is a big blue bear creature with a single flower sprouting from his head that wilts and grows based on his emotions, and closes when he is asleep. He seems to be the organization's housekeeper. 5.0.5 sees Dr. Flug as a father more than a creator and sees Demencia as his troublesome sister. Black Hat, however, sees him as a personal punching bag to relieve stress. He is about 7'6" or 228 cm tall, including the flower. He is also about 5 years old in bear years and has been with the group for two years.

Because of these events Arteno City now treated the Numbras as second-class citizens and segregated them to the northside of the city. She tries to obstruct the sun in numerous ways but they are always thwarted by Sunblast, the superhero of Arteno City who acts like a bully towards her. She wears a white lab coat and has shadowy transparent hair that reveals a black line behind her head. She has an Instagram account where she claims she will "save the planet!"

Production and release

The original Villainous webisodes were written, animated, and voiced by Alan Ituriel in 2012 for ThatPlaceToHangOut.com, an art website he jointly worked on.^[27] He had to use royalty-free music and voice all characters. He later said he was inspired by Guillermo del Toro and Captain Hook in Peter Pan.^[28] During the production of the new series, Cartoon Network was able to sign on YouTuber and popular Internet gamer Markiplier as the voice of 5.0.5. and attached a professional composer, Kevin Manthei, both upon request by Ituriel,^[29] to the project. Ituriel remained in control over most aspects as director, writer, storyboard artist, animator and voice of Black Hat. The English version is initially recorded first^{[30] [31]} at TRACKS Productions using an Atlanta-based cast (with the exception of Ituriel and Markiplier) while the Spanish version was dubbed afterward at Dubbing House in Mexico.^[32] Apart from Ituriel, Markiplier, and Manthei, Carolina Paez was an animator, as was Kevin Martínez, and Diego Valenzuela wrote various episodes.^[33] A teaser trailer was also released on September 8, 2018.^[34]

The Villainous concept was pitched by Alan Ituriel at a contest run at the Pixelatl Festival in Cuernavaca, called IdeaToon Summit, in 2014.^{[35] [36]} He met some Cartoon Network executives there and the concept was judged to fit the 6-11 year old demographic for CN Anything original content. Villainous has garnered very positive reception on Cartoon Network's online platforms,^{[37] [38] [39]} like the Cartoon Network's Anything application in 2016,^[40] leading CN to decide to continue their own "Pitch Me" competition through at least 2017 in an aim to find more web original shows.^{[41] [42]} Villainous is the first of what CN hopes to be many successful short projects for their app and YouTube channel.

A TV pilot was released on June 8, 2019,^[43] with the Spanish-language version released seven days earlier, while a full-length series is currently in development.^[44] Ituriel later confirmed that season one is currently in production,^[45] while also announcing a new character, with a backdoor pilot later debuting as the Victor and Valentino episode "Villainy In Monte Macabre."^{[46] [47]} Unlike the shorts, due to Warner Bros. merger with Discovery and the COVID-19 pandemic, while simultaneously produced in both languages (with scripts still written in English), the series was recorded in Spanish first at SDI Media in Mexico and dubbed in English afterwards replacing most of the original cast save for Alan Ituriel and Markiplier with a Miami-based cast at VOA Studios Miami, released on November 24, 2022.^{[48] [14] [49]}

On October 11, 2021, it was revealed that the series would be released on HBO Max Latin America and Cartoon Network Mexico, and it premiered on both platforms on October 29, 2021.^{[50] [51]} The series made its American debut on Max on May 23, 2023.^[8]

Episodes

Note: Episodes are produced in English and dubbed in Spanish afterward.

Shorts

Phase One

The first wave of English and Spanish-language shorts which were released on a video on the Cartoon Network Latin America YouTube channel.^{[52] [53]}

Orientation Videos for Villains

This is a series of 10-to-11-minute English and Spanish-language specials that feature Black Hat and Dr. Flug criticizing villains from other Cartoon Network shows. The Q&A special is an exception, at 14 minutes and without a focus on a particular villain.

Reception

The reception of the series has been relatively positive. In June 2017, Victor Pineda Trujillo said that the mini-shorts had "a touch of humor from the 90's cartoons," is about overcoming demons of your life, has wonderful artwork, and a great message.^[54] In 2019, E.M. Lee reviewed the show's pilot, noting the enormous fanbase of the series, said the pilot was worth waiting for, and argues that the episode is very creative, having "highly entertaining" characters, which have an interesting dynamic with each other. Lee also praised the animation and argued that it introduces the "core set pieces" of the series, giving the audience "enough to get them interested in the rest of the series."^[55] Other reviewers said that Villainous is suited for fans of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Invader Zim while some said it gained online popularity for "lampooning popular Cartoon Network Shows."^[56] In March 2018, Catherine Lencione of Michigan Journal, a student publication of the University of Michigan–Dearborn, called the show unique and fun, with "colorful animation and character designs," saying it has the possibility of evolving "into something great."^[57]

In other media

• Black Hat makes a cameo in the OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes episode, "Crossover Nexus". Flug would later state in the Q&A special that an identical duplicate of Black Hat that was created in the short "Perception of Evil" was the character that appeared in the episode.
• The Black Hat Magisword, which debuted in the Villainous short, "The Lost Cases of Rhyboflavin", makes subsequent cameos in the second-season episodes of Mighty Magiswords, including "Ghosthaste".
• A crossover with Victor and Valentino entitled "Villainy In Monte Macabre" premiered on October 19, 2020, on the US Cartoon Network, with the cast reprising their roles, serving as a backdoor pilot for the Villainous television series.^[58] In the special, Victor and Valentino team up with Dr. Flug and Demencia to try to find a squid monster who is disguised as a human in Monte Macabre, unaware that the monster is the hero and they are the villains. The events of this crossover special take place during the second season of Victor and Valentino.
• Some characters have official Instagram accounts where their progress can be seen.
