He's a ''villain''. A ''bad guy''. He has tried to kill you and your friends a dozen times over. He dangled your {{Sidekick}} and your {{Love Interest|s}} over a cliff, [[EvilGloating taunting you]] to [[SadisticChoice pick one of them]]. He treats other people, [[BadBoss including his own underlings]], like dirt. He doesn't care about people, order, or [[StrawHypocrite whatever he's using to justify his actions]]--he just wants power. [[FreudianExcuse Dude's been through hard times?]] [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse Shallow excuses to do bad things, we've been through hard times too and he never heard us vocally whining about it!]] [[KickTheDog And he ran over your daughter's puppy]]. You're ''nothing'' like him. He's ''wrong''. So you tell it to him, [[PunctuatedForEmphasis spell it out if necessary]], then beat the crap out of him in a manner [[RightMakesMight most righteous]] (or, if you are a common human against a superpowered villain, or the work is not action-oriented, an ArmorPiercingSlap may be an appropriate outcome as well.)

So you're [[FinalBattle finally facing the villain]]. He's being all {{smug|Snake}} and [[BreakThemByTalking trying to break you]] with his words, [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructing]] your motives for fighting him and reminding you of how ''[[NotSoDifferentRemark similar]]'' you are to him, unleashing a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech blistering spiel of how your flaws make you pathetic]], making you uncomfortable with his [[AccentuateTheNegative too-close-to-truths]], offering you the opportunity to [[WeCanRuleTogether join him]], et cetera et cetera… and what should your response be? [[KirkSummation Tell him the error of his ways,]] and [[LastSecondChance offer him a chance to join the good guys?]] A measured, reasonable response, indicating your disagreement? [[VillainHasAPoint Let the villainous argument throw you]] and make you wonder if you and he are similar?

This happens a lot. Heroes usually use the "fist to face" variant of this, though a hero giving a villain a verbal beatdown is not unheard of (see also KirkSummation). Often done by the more [[CombatPragmatist practical]] AntiHero, who doesn't really care about philosophy, and just prefers to beat up anyone who has messed with them or their stuff.

Combining it with the WorldOfCardboardSpeech will just make it that much more badass.
