10 More Movie Villains Who Would Have Won By Doing NOTHING

10. Jafar - Aladdin

The first of two Disney animated film villains on this list, Aladdin's Jafar (Jonathan Freeman) is a textbook example of a baddie who really had to do very little to get everything they wanted.

Jafar seeks the magical lamp containing the Genie (Robin Williams), and ultimately takes Aladdin (Scott Weinger) - the one person worthy of retrieving it - to the cave to find it.

Aladdin succeeds, but rather than simply pay Aladdin a decent reward for his efforts and send him on his way, he ill-advisedly throws him and Abu (Frank Welker) back into the collapsing cave.

This prompts Abu to quickly steal the lamp back and allows Aladdin to make contact with the Genie, events which set Aladdin on a path to successfully seek vengeance against Jafar and vanquish him.

Yet if Jafar had just paid Aladdin off, he would've never had the lamp stolen nor likely received a challenge from Aladdin at all. And even if he did, the lamp would've made him powerful enough to repel him and rule Agrabah unimpeded.
