Buzz being his own villain doesn’t make anything we knew from before less important it just makes it more informed because Buzz therefore knows exactly who he is fighting, and fighting your own demons manifested as yourself? That’s deep. 99+ Photos Animation Action Adventure While spending years attempting to return home, marooned Space Ranger Buzz Lightyear encounters an army of ruthless robots commanded by Zurg who are attempting to steal his fuel source.

That’s what’s so fascinating about the reveal that Zurg is just a different version of Buzz. James Brolin’s performance as Zurg counteracts Chris Evans’ take on Buzz beautifully, and watching as the two struggle with each other gives us a new look into the Zurg/Buzz relationship we thought we knew. Instead of realizing that he might not succeed all the time and that’s okay, he’s thrown into this world where he has to fix his mistake by himself, and he gets to see, firsthand, what that isolation can do to someone. The villain of Lightyear then becomes Buzz’s own failures. As he’s trying to reach hyperspace so he can get everyone home, one version of Buzz is met with an angry team ready to throw him in jail, and it results in him becoming Zurg and coming back to try to get the gems that our Buzz has discovered in order for him to go back in time and fix what he did wrong.
