You're not tough, you're just a pathetic and cowardly bozo.
More bullies on this wiki. This time it's a deer you probably hated as a childhood. For those who watched Bambi 2, of course.
Note: I will only consider his version from the films, since I don't know if his manga and novel versions qualify.
What’s the Work?[]
Bambi is a classic and iconic Disney film. The film follows the titular protagonist: Bambi, a fawn who holds the title of "Prince of the Forest" because his father is the most important deer in the region. The film is about growing up and learning that it's possible to see the bright side of life even amidst tragedy. The sequel takes place after the death of Bambi's mother, where he has to deal with a nasty bully.
Who's the Candidate?[]
Ronno is the main antagonist of both films. He is a braggart, arrogant and selfish bully who intimidates Bambi. He is Bambi archenemy and rival.
What Makes Him Pathetic?[]
- He is an arrogant, cowardly and envious bully who intimidates Bambi throughout the film.
- Right in his opening scene, he scares the groundhog and starts making up lies about how he confronted and defeated "Man," and then gets angry when Bambi supposedly calls him a liar and tries to start a fight with him.
- He mocks Bambi for standing still and having to be saved by his father, much to Bambi's annoyance. Soon after, he tries to force Faline to go with him, until Bambi stops him.
- When Bambi is going with Mena, he appears to mock him again, this time saying that Bambi's father was ashamed of him. This is enough to anger Bambi and start a fight with him. His action indirectly causes Mena to get caught in a trap and attract the attention of the hunter and his dogs.
- When the hunter and his dogs appear, he runs away pathetically in fear, showing that he is nothing more than a cowardly braggart in the end.
- When he grows up and faces Bambi again, he tries to force Faline to go with him once more, but Bambi fights him again and manages to defeat him and throw him into a small river.
What Makes Him a Pinhead?[]
- He demonstrates being quite clumsy, as on several occasions he makes himself look like an idiot and a fool when trying to command respect. Examples include his initial scene where he accidentally hits someone in the face with a stick, and another is when he accidentally steps on a turtle and falls into the river, and the turtle bites his nose, causing him to run away.
- Although he tries to portray himself as tough, he fails because others don't fall for his lies and nobody really respects or fears him, finding him more pathetic than anything. Bambi is only scared of him because of his innocent personality.
- His methods for making friends are ineffective because he acts like a jerk bully who antagonizes Bambi, who is loved and cherished by the others in the forest. His intimidation of Bambi is the reason why nobody wants him around.
- He is unable to realize that Faline is not interested in him, something that is visible from the beginning when they met.
- He doesn't prove to be a good fighter since he is defeated without much trouble by Bambi, who had no fighting experience, at least not at the beginning.
Preventions/Mitigating Factors/Freudian Excuse?[]
He demonstrates a certain affection for his mother, but beyond that, he doesn't show many redeeming qualities, and his comedic moments only make him pathetic and performed for satisfaction. He lacks charisma, being a repulsive and petty bully who provokes Bambi throughout the film, and is also incapable of manipulating anyone.
Stupid enough? Yes, he is incapable of commanding respect and fear. His lies are unconvincing. He is unable to make friends due to his unpleasant personality, something he doesn't realize. He proves to be clumsy and fails miserably in all his objectives.
Final Verdict[]
Big Yes to him, but what do you think?
