History AGodAmI / Film

** ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'': The Horned King is ready to kill the world to be worshipped as a god by the dead.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'': Once the film reaches the climax, Frollo suffers a severe bout of SanitySlippage and betrays the Church he supposedly supports. What ultimately sells it, though, is his BlasphemousBoast where he proclaims, "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit!", where by this point, by "He" is no longer referring to God, but rather to himself, showing how far off the deep end has fallen and became absolutely power-hungry, desiring to burn down Paris so he can rule it as a God. [[spoiler:And then God himself decided to teach him the meaning of "karma".]]

** ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'': Jafar does a textbook example of the rundown of this trope, wishing to become an all-powerful genie. In his following exultations, he mentions how the universe is now his to control, even going so far as to create a small solar system between his hands just for the hell of it. This is until Aladdin reminds him what the other half of "phenomenal cosmic power" is... "itty bitty living space".

* ''Film/IslandofLostSouls'': "Mr. Parker, do you know what it means to feel like God?"

[[spoiler:And then one could argue that God himself decided to teach him the meaning of "karma".]]
