**King Orange** is the main antagonist of Season 3 of the *AvM Shorts*.

He's the wrathful master of Purple and leader of a Piglin Brute army who seeks to destroy all of *Minecraft* after his son Gold died in a simulation of the game, deciding to steal the Stick Gang's Game Icon to achieve this goal. Ultimately, however, he would redeem himself after seeing how similar Purple and Gold are, not wanting to lose another son.

## What Makes Him Magnificent?

* He is an incredibly competent and strategic character, managing to form together an elaborate scheme to destroy all of *Minecraft* after it inadvertently took his son from him entirely on his own, while also being able to create a staff that could wield the power of the *Minecraft* Game Icon.
* Despite there being many moments where he was almost overpowered by the heroes, he always manages to get back up on his feet and regain his leg in battle, with him even being able to take out forces such as Herobrine, who is just as strong as he is.
* He is shown to be a great manipulator, with him "saving" Yellow and Blue along with an entire village from Titan Ravagers, and then managing to distract the two long enough for Purple to retrieve the Game Icon from ALANSPC. When Green made Yellow and Blue realise King Orange was evil, he just confronted the three in battle and, despite losing, did fairly well and managed to imprison them when they got caught off-guard.
* He is one of the few villains in the entire series who could not be defeated by the Stick Gang, successfully sucking all of *Minecraft* into his black hole. He is only "stopped" when he kills himself trying to save Purple, with his actions being undone only after he's dead, and at the very last second.
* While he has several moments of being wrathful towards his allies, most of these are one-off moments that serve as either heating-up periods or are, in some way, justified by the circumstance.
* While undeniably extremely heinous, he is prevented from being too much of a baddie due to his multitude of Evil-is-Cool moments, most of which happen when his villainy is at his peak. Additionally, it's also downplayed by the fact he has an incredibly tragic and sympathetic motive that makes it understandable as to why he would want to destroy *Minecraft*, and would ultimately redeem himself.
* While he did leave Purple for dead when he was asking for help, which would cause a butterfly effect leading to Purple's redemption and then *King'*s redemption, King Orange was in the heat of battle during this moment, and as such likely didn't think he had the time to rescue him. It should also be noted that he shows no sadism towards this act.
* While he has an incredibly tragic backstory of losing his son that ultimately left him incredibly broken, this doesn't make him too much of a woobie, as he still manages to be competent, intelligent as well as magnificent despite this fact.
* Despite the motive behind his villainy being based on wrath, this doesn't prevent him from being a level-headed strategist as opposed to being a reckless, mindless killing machine as he very well could've been.
* Ultimately, at the end of his arc, he would redeem himself after seeing how Purple was a surrogate son to him, not wanting to go through the pain of losing Gold again. After his resurrection, he apologizes to the Stick Gang for his actions and leaves back to the Outernet with Purple, moving past his hatred of *Minecraft*.

## What Makes Him a Baddie?

* Upon losing his son Gold to a malfunction in a *Minecraft* simulation, he would become so wrathful that he would proceed to attack the three men who were running the simulation despite it not being their fault before vowing to destroy all of *Minecraft*, creating an elaborate scheme to completely wipe the entire game out and basically succeeding at it, his actions being undone only at the last second.
* He had Purple betray the Stick Gang and trap them in a simulated race with the intent of keeping them there forever despite them doing nothing besides being in the way of his quest to get the Game Icon. When they started directly threatening his plans, he had them imprisoned and kept trying to kill them.
* There are several times throughout the series that King Orange has exhibited bad boss tendencies, such as:
	+ Disabling the AI of one of his minions when they brought him the news that Green had escaped the parkour simulation Purple had placed him in, with him then demanding that the other Piglin Brutes retrieve him.
	+ Launched a blast using the Game Icon-powered staff that wound up killing several Piglin Brutes simply because they wound up being caught in the crossfire.
	+ When Purple tried to grab his Game Icon-powered staff, he proceeded to ruthlessly smack him away using its power. While it's true that Purple was being stubborn and King Orange did try to simply push him away at first, it was still a bit of an overreaction.
	+ Left Purple for dead when he was pleading for help against the other sticks, with this moment leading to Purple seemingly having a grief episode before redeeming himself and betraying King.
