Mayor Shelbourne

Mayor Susan Shelbourne is the main antagonist of the American film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, based on the storybook on the same name. He is the mayor of the town of Swallow Falls, which is the main setting of the film.

Mayor Shelbourne also appears in a TV show adaption of the aforementioned film (which is a prequel to the film) that first aired on Cartoon Network, where he appears as the the one who runs the school of Cannery High. He is also shown to have a son named Gilbert Shelbourne.

Why He Sucks

 * 1) He is a greedy, selfish and most of all gluttonous man who dreams of being big and achieving greatness and wanted people to say "that is one big mayor!" when they saw him.
 * 2) Due to his gluttonous and voracious nature, he has an unhealthy obsession with eating and loves to eat unhealthy amounts of food in one go and has a craving for the most bizarre and fatty foods imaginable such as a pizza stuffed inside a turkey deep fried in chocolate, or even shoving a overmutated hot dog with ice cream and donuts on it. He even ate a sandwich raft HE OWNED!
 * 3) He is a lying and manipulative man with little morals. He once said that "bigger is better". Something that is bigger doesn't mean it's better than other things.
 * 4) He is probably even worse than other greedy characters, such as Mr. Krabs.
 * 5) He is often a huge annoying narcissist.
 * 6) Later in the film, Shelbourne gained hundreds of pounds in less than a month and became a very obese mayor after greedily consuming large helpings of food, and he had to move about on a scooter. As the movie progresses on, the FLDSMDFR starts to become overload, so Flint tries to shut it down to prevent it from creating a giant food storm. Unfortunately, Shelbourne refuses to let him do so and destroys the communication device to the FLDSMDFR after mindlessly ordering a "Vegas' style all-you-can-eat buffet", causing the machine to become self-aware and start up the major food storm.

In the TV Show adaptation

 * 1) He was flanderized in the TV show adaptation, making him even worse. He began acting more greedy and was more of a jerk than he already was.
 * 2) He also became much more manipulative and greedy than before.
 * 3) He only seems to care about his braggy son.
 * 4) Speaking of which, he treats his son poorly.
 * 5) If he is the mayor then why does he have a job as a principal?

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Shelbourne is not a character from the orignal storybook, much like the rest of the cast. This makes him a bit original, so the idea of adding him wasn't that bad.
 * 2) The film's credits showed a scene of Shelbourne getting arrested by Earl for his greedy actions. However, taking advantage that Earl becames distracted for a moment, he jumps into a hole, possibly escaping or simply falling to his possible demise.
 * 3) At least he is not as flanderized in the TV show than Flint.
 * 4) He's good at being an unlikable character because he  IS  A villain
