For the record, when I was working on the YKTTW, I tried the name Big Bad\\\'s Last Stand, but SomeSortOfTroper commented that he believed it was fine the way it was. This was his explanation:
I\\\'ll elaborate on that last point: part of it is to not encourage trope decay of the term Big Bad. That\\\'s for the sort of guy who can say \\\"Everything that has transpired in this trope has done so according to my design.\\\" and who has been controlling a series of events for some time and who acts as a sort of ultimate villain over all the villains. It\\\'s very popular with episodic series that get a final villain for the overall season. We\\\'re not really trying to bring that trope in here, so let\\\'s not confuse things.
The other part is just the length and the concision of Last Villain Stand. On top of that, to me, it makes the villain seem more alone and depleted of numbers which is a key element of the trope.
