Villainous (web series)
Villainous (Spanish: Villanos) is a Mexican animated web series 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 he 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, began to be released later).[3][4] The series is co-produced by CN and A.I. Animation Studios.[5] The Villainous concept was pitched by Alan Ituriel at a contest run at the Pixelatl Festival in Cuernavaca, called IdeaToon Summit, in 2014.[6][7] 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.[8][7] Villainous has garnered very positive reception on Cartoon Network's online platforms,[9][10][11] like the Cartoon Network's Anything application in 2016.[12] leading CN to decide to continue their own "Pitch Me" competition through at least 2017 in an aim to find more web original shows.[13][14] 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,[15] with the Spanish-language version released seven days earlier.[16] Ituriel later confirmed that season one is currently in production,[17] while also announcing a new character, with a backdoor pilot later debuting as the Victor and Valentino episode "Villainy In Monte Macabre."[18][19][lower-alpha 1]

Plot
Villainous is the story of Black Hat Org., run by Evil Handyman 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.[20] Black Hat is trying to sell various evil inventions created by Dr. Flug and desperate to achieve his evil aspirations. However, things usually end up going wrong for him as the brilliant innovations tend to have small and often comical flaws.[21]
Characters
Main
- Black Hat (voiced by Alan Ituriel) is a pure evil, narcissistic mastermind who runs Black Hat Org. and appears in all of the ads that the "company" produces. Black Hat is of unknown species and is able to shapeshift, teleport, manipulate space, conjure objects at will, and can open portals with his claws. He is shown to be able to play the pipe organ and a violin with strings made of cat guts.[lower-alpha 2] Black Hat is shown to wear a smaller, black bowler hat beneath his signature top hat. An alternate, muscular Black Hat in "The Perception of Evil" was voiced by Markiplier, but in Spanish and English was voiced by Ituriel himself. He is about 6.66 feet with a tophat, and 5.9. feet without a tophat.[22] 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.[lower-alpha 3] He does not need to sleep and is very old.[lower-alpha 4]
- Dr. Kenning "Flug" Flugslys (voiced by Todd Asayer (English) and Jose Macias (Spanish)[lower-alpha 5]) is a nervous scientist who wears a paper bag over his head who works for Black Hat.[lower-alpha 6] Flugslys means 'aviation accident' or 'plane crash' in Icelandic and Flug has obtained his driver's and pilot's license.[lower-alpha 7] 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 5.8 feet tall.[22] Not only is one his aliases is La Bolsa de Torta, but he loves pancakes and used to play the flute in elementary school.[lower-alpha 8] He is also 24-25 years old.[lower-alpha 9]
- Demencia[lower-alpha 10] (voiced by Melaney Sems (English) and Melissa Gedeón (Spanish)) is Black Hat's crazed fan and assistant who wears a tracking device.[lower-alpha 11] Her outfit is inspired by reptiles and she has a love for destruction. If she crouches down, because of her hair color, her hair covers her body and she resembles a lizard. She is seen to be able to play the electric guitar and her favorite song is Revolution 9 by The Beatles.[lower-alpha 12] She is hinted to be an experiment and is 19-20 years old[lower-alpha 13] She is about 5.57 feet tall.[22]
- 5.0.5. (voiced by Mark Fischbach[lower-alpha 14]) is the Organization's failed experiment that cannot be killed. Intended to be an evil creature, he instead became very loving and enjoys hugging his friends.[lower-alpha 15] 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, which makes Demencia his troublesome sister. He is about 7.48 feet tall with a flower.[22] He is also about 5 years old in bear years and has been with the group for two years.[lower-alpha 16]
Supporting
- Cam Bot is the one who films all of Black Hat Org.'s ads.[lower-alpha 17] It is a sentient camera with useful attachments, however, the make-up puff arm was removed by Black Hat when it attempted to use it on him.[lower-alpha 18]

She wears a white lab coat (like a classic mad scientist) 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!"[lower-alpha 19]

Production notes
The original Villainous webisodes were written, animated, and voiced by Alan Ituriel in 2012 for ThatPlaceToHangOut.com, an art website he jointly worked on.[23] 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.[24] 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,[25] 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 recorded first[26] [27] 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.[28] Apart from Ituriel, Markiplier, and Manthei, Carolina Paez was an animator, as was Kevin Martínez, and Diego Valenzuela wrote various episodes.[lower-alpha 28] A teaser trailer was also released on September 8, 2018.[29]
Episodes
Episodes are produced in English and dubbed in Spanish afterward. Below are the original English and Spanish dub titles for the one-minute shorts that Cartoon Network has approved and the small, fifteen-second shorts that are also being released on the CN Anything app to promote the show, ordered by their official YouTube compilation.

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.[32] 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."[8] Other reviewers said that Villainous is suited for fans of The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Invader Zim[4] while some said it gained online popularity for "lampooning popular Cartoon Network Shows."[33] 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."[34]
