It’s about time I released fanart on this movie! The Bad Guys was a really fun movie for the kids and adults to enjoy. I know I was laughing my butt off at so many scenes in the movie, but the first six minutes of the movie had to be my favorite scene.
Out of the entire gang, Mr. Snake had to be my favorite. At first, Piranha was my favorite because of how crazy he was, but then Mr. Snake stole (get it?) the spotlight with just his performance alone for me. I won’t say why he’s my favorite, but I’ll let you all figure it out when you see the movie.
