* BaseBreakingCharacter: Anton Ego. For all his good moments and delightfully meme-worthy DeadpanSnarker one-liners, Ego's major problem is that he's a ''caricature'' of a CausticCritic, rather than an actual human being with relatable strengths and flaws. From his BrickJoke skeletal-appearance to coffin-shaped office. Ego is renowned as a "grim reaper of restaurants", when he comes its to ''bury them alive''. Which begs questions from Tropers as to what food ([[BiasSteamroller aside from his mother's]]) he does like or why people of this world listen to an unfunny serious man who only gives condemnation and negative reviews? What [[HumansAreTheTrueMonsters kind of people]] employ and value his [[TrueArtIsAngsty thoughts on food as an art form]] when its putting establishments out of business for entertainment? How can he be so ignorant of [[MommasBoy his own bias]] while thinking he is impartial enough to know good from bad cooking? By far what hurts the character's development most is Ego only comes back into the plot to finish off the late-Gusteau's restaurant for [[EvilIsPetty utterly petty reasons]], reinterprets Gusteau's message when he is unwilling to accept it. He's never given the time to show regret for potentially review-bombing young talent before it has a chance to grow, and his role in Gusteau's DeathByDespair.

** Anton Ego's last review of Gusteau's prior to the events of the movie said "Gusteau has finally found his rightful place in history right alongside another equally famous chef, Monsieur Boy-ar-dee." Ettore Boiardi was a real chef who ran a restaurant in Cleveland and became famous enough to start marketing a line of prepackaged Italian food. The earliest products were more akin to the boxed pastas and canned sauces still sold by more respectable brands today.

** While Rémy is right that eating people's garbage is hardly the noblest way of living, his attempts to elevate it to the level of stealing falls flat even if looked at from a human's perspective. Most humans would tend to agree with Django's justification that "It isn't ''stealing'' if no one wants it!", and it doesn't help that Rémy's only counterarguments are cheap jabs that try to apply human standards to rats ("If no one ''wants it'', why are we ''stealing it?!''") and suggesting that they at least try taking the higher-quality food from humans instead of settling for trash... which actually ''would'' qualify as stealing and completely undermines his initial point, making him come off like a massive hypocrite.
