MFU 30-Day Meme: Day 10
Day 10 – Least favorite villain: Backstreet and Beirut (from THE MATTERHORN AFFAIR)
This was a tough one for me not because there aren't several villains in MFU I don't like (though the series also had a myriad of very memorable villains), but more because the ones I don't like don't stay separate in my mind. Their personalities just kind of all mush together into a generic "baddie".
I chose Backstreet and Beirut, however, because the pair apparently were intended to parody characters in THE MALTESE FALCON and well, it just doesn't work.
They never seem truly menacing and they are truly incompetent Thrush. Nothing at all interesting about them; thus their least favorite villain status for me.
