Judge Peckinpah

Judge Peckinpah is a minor character from The Angry Birds Movie. He is voiced by Keegan Michael-Key.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He occasionally doesn't think about asking Red: instead, he simply just asks the pigs if they can stay despite not knowing the pigs during the concert that stared Stella's flock, except for the actual Luca.
 * 2) His design is mediocre-at-best, as his head looks like it has been hammered, and his feathers in general look ugly.
 * 3) He should have given Red a worse punishment since he almost got Eva's and Edward's youngest son injured, and what Red did would be considered harassment. Instead, he sends him to Angry Management Class without a restraining suit or gets a bodyguard to report him.
 * 4) He was shockingly not at least suspicious of what the pigs were gonna do and did not criticize them for destroying the house that Red took five years to build; as a result, it shows he is lazily-written and badly written.
 * 5) He isn't a very interesting character, and it seems like he only exists just to be biased towards Red, thus making him a pointless character.
 * 6) He doesn't make a physical cameo in The Angry Birds Movie 2.
 * 7) Occasionally he might sound like a racist stereotype whenever he defends the pigs or gives him a comeuppance.
 * 8) He never gets any comeuppances for his actions just because he's the clichéd mean judge, making him a karma houdini.
 * 9) He is basically the Angry Birds version of Foxy Loxy from the 2005 Chicken Little, as both don't get comeuppances just because they are clichéd characters and mean spirited, but later redeem themselves at the end.
 * 10) He made the others sitting at the court laugh at Red when he said something insensitive about how birds can't fly, similar to Bloo humiliating Mac in Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends episode "I Only Have Surprise for You". Red also comments on how that joke wasn't even funny.
 * 11) He is a complete hypocrite: he didn't like Red for his anger issues, yet he also has anger issues.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) He did have a point that Red's actions of not being careful towards Eva and Edward's egg were wrong.
 * 2) He nonetheless became likable towards Red in the second half of the movie and did realize he was wrong about the pigs as mentioned above in WHNTBFFBTA#9, even finally agreed and apologies with Red when they stole the eggs and destroy the village and was a bit more likable in Angry Birds Island where he helped the birds rebuild Bird Island after the pigs destroyed the island.
 * 3) His surname "Judge Peckinpah" is really funny, despite WHNTBFFBTA#8.
 * 4) *Sometimes he can be funny other than that.
 * 5) *He makes some memorable quotes such as:
 * 6) *"Mr. Red, given the severity of the crowns I have no choice, but to impose the maximum penalty allowed by the law: Anger Management Class!"
 * 7) *"JUDGE POWER!"
 * 8) At least mh:greatcharacters:Toad's upcoming voice actor for the 2023 Nintendo / Universal Pictures / Illumination film The Super Mario Bros Movie, Keegan Michael-Key did a passable/good job voicing him.

Trivia

 * Judge Peckinaph only makes a minor cameo in The Angry Birds Movie 2 on a picture in Red's house and no further appearances, not even a physical cameo but it could possibly be because of his reception by fans.
 * Keegan-Michael Key was originally going to reprise his role for The Angry Birds Movie 2, but was very busy voicing Ducky in ''Toy Story 4.
