They even sound like cartoon villains.

And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those meddling protestors!

more like team rocket jesse and james, they come in all planning and calculated, but ends up easily getting sent flying.

Jesse & James are far to woke and empathetic though. Several of their failures are because they couldn't go through with plan with enough ruthlessness. Other groups of Team Rocket often have more initial success by having a lot less empathy.

King Richard feels more appropriate. A pathetic calculating advisor hamstrung by running damage control for the mewling lion having a tantrum.
