Hello. Today will be my next offer for the status of an IA, and it is dedicated to Valmont. I know the candidate is very strange, but let's look at him.
What's the work?[]
Jackie Chan Adventures is an animated action movie starring the fictional Jackie Chan, who must protect artifacts from falling into evil hands.
Who is he?[]
Valmont is one of the main antagonists of the animated series Jackie Chan Adventures. He is a criminal boss, the leader of the international criminal group Dark Hand. Despite his antagonistic role, he is the only one of the main villains who has teamed up with the heroes several times.
His Good Ranking[]
What Makes Him Admirable?[]
- He had a strong dislike for Shendu when he possessed him and forced him to create his villainous plans to take over the world.
- He deliberately picked up the Pan'ku Box, knowing that it would burn Shenda, intending to exorcise the demon from himself. But he only stunned him with that.
- He joined the heroes to help him get rid of Shendu. He also informed them in time about Bai Tza's plan to flood the entire city, which the heroes then prevented her from doing.
- On Tohru's orders, he did not allow Jade to interfere in the battle with the demon so that she would not get hurt.
- On Jade's orders, he saved Jackie and Tohru from Bai Tza when she nearly killed them.
- He was very happy when he was finally freed from Shendu's obsession.
- He had a strong dislike for Daolon Wong for recruiting his Enforcers, and demanded that he bring them back.
- After Daolon Wong turned him into a child, he rejoined the heroes to help him.
- Even as a child, he saved Jackie when Daolon Wong almost killed him.
- Being half-possessed by the Oni mask, he refused the demon's plan to plunge the world into darkness, saying that he only needed money, but not the conquest of the whole world.
- He and Jade helped each other get rid of the Oni mask's obsession, thereby stopping Crab Khan, one of the most dangerous types of Shadowkhan. He also categorically refused to put on the Oni mask again after realizing how angry she was.
- Eventually, he gave up his criminal life and began making a living as a regular bus driver.
What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- He is an exceptionally villainous character who commits the vast majority of villainous acts throughout the animated series, and very rarely turns out to be on the side of the heroes.
- Although he teamed up with Jackie several times, he still disliked him, and even confessed to Jade that he enjoyed watching Jackie get beaten.
- He is very arrogant and selfish, and most often thinks only about his own well-being, and uses his people for this.
- He is a Hero by Proxy, because he teamed up with heroes only for his own personal goals. But despite this, he never actually tried to betray the heroes, and helped them as much as possible.
Admirable Standard[]
You can say that Jackie, Jade, Uncle, and Tohru were much more admirable, and you'd be right, but the fact is that Valmont doesn't really have as many resources as they do. In the first season, he was a wealthy crime boss, but starting from the second, he went bankrupt, and his subordinates came under the command of Shendu and Daolon Wong. Uncle and Tohru also had magical knowledge, which gave them a huge advantage. But despite all this, Valmont had his own merits, such as his great role in saving the city from flooding and defeating one of the most dangerous species of Shadowkhan.
Verdict[]
It sounds strange, but I think it's a weak yes.
