\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\"You Have No Chance To Survive! Goodbye, Mr. (x)!\\\"\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\'\\\' (<-- I see no problem with this. It\\\'s a summary of the \\\"typical\\\" usage.)

[[color:gray:The villain, who never had any intention of letting the hero (or heroes) live, has finally instituted the perfect plan that will ensure their demise (or at least, that\\\'s what the villain thinks). Of course, for some people it\\\'s not enough to simply kill the heroes. They have to crush their hopes utterly, ensuring maximum despair and humiliation. In short, they have to tell them that their death(s) are inevitable.]]

[[color:gray:A form of EvilGloating, this tends to be standard for a SmugSnake. The villain in question can and will combine this with TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. Expect this to almost always be invoked when there\\\'s a DeathTrap. This would be a StockPhrase...although very few villains end up saying this the same way twice.]]

[[color:gray:Compare IfMyCalculationsAreCorrect and NoOneCouldSurviveThat. Contrast INeedYouStronger, NoMrBondIExpectYouToDine, YouWillBeSpared.]]

\\\'\\\'[[color:gray:Not to be confused with YourDaysAreNumbered, which is not a threat but a fact. (Note that villains often use the exact phrase, \\\"Your days are numbered!\\\" to state this.]]\\\'\\\' <--[[hottip:++:this is simply a slightly rephrased version of the sentence. I have no issues with the above -- The rest is the text that was removed]] -- > Perhaps literally accompanied by \\\"This is how much time you have to live!\\\" If it\\\'s merely a threat, such examples belong here.) Expect the hero\\\'s response to be \\\"NeverTellMeTheOdds\\\".

The classic telegraphed villain threat has several variations. It may be uttered shortly after invading [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs All Of Your Base]], or while gazing at the hero through [[SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands a viewfinder]] while [[OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness contemplating his demise]], or shouted in anger instead of \\\"WeWillMeetAgain!\\\" Often used in place of {{monologuing}} by a villain genre-savvy enough to realize that [[TalkingIsAFreeAction talking is not a free action]]. May be accompanied by an EvilLaugh (\\\"Ha ha ha ha!!\\\" or just \\\"Ha ha ha\\\" for short). Variations include:

-->\\\"Your days are numbered!\\\" (when the villain is right, contrast YourDaysAreNumbered)
-->\\\"I\\\'m afraid we \\\'\\\'won\\\'t\\\'\\\' [[WeWillMeetAgain meet again]].\\\"
-->\\\"This is now the ultimate power in the (x). We will crush you under our feet like insects!\\\"
-->\\\"Soon you will all be dead, and I will be (lounging on a beach / [[OrcusOnHisThrone on my throne]] / etc!)\\\"
-->\\\"Take time to collect your thoughts, for soon you will be (x)!\\\" (\\\"[[ZeroWing Make Your Time]]!\\\")
-->\\\"Say your last goodbyes!\\\"

Unless the villain is a {{literal genie}}, these sort of telegraphed threats are not merely {{tempting fate}}; once uttered, it is near-axiomatic proof that the heroes will survive by the rule of MillionToOneChance, if only because the villain [[BondVillainStupidity broadcast his intentions]].

When the villain finally gets serious and utters a [[PreMortemOneLiner Pre-Mortem]] one liner, see PrepareToDie.

Trope Namer is the \\\'\\\'ZeroWing\\\'\\\' threat \\\"You Have No Chance To Survive Make Your Time.\\\"

Curiously, you may be allowed to TakeYourTime; compare WeWait. see also BondVillainStupidity.
