History PlayingWith / StupidEvil

** Kill'Everyone is a {{Jerkass}} that personally hates Alice. As a result, he will do anything and '''every'''thing that riles Alice's goat, even if that means [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder pissing off]] [[TeamKiller everybody else]] [[NoHonorAmongThieves he's allied to]] and [[PyrrhicVillainy risking the complete destruction of everything he's been working for]] in a much shorter term than it could have been, because one of the things Alice hates more than anything is people being idiots at their job -- yes, including enemy commanders (showing professionalism is a way for her to declare them a WorthyOpponent, even). Since spiting Alice in the end will be WorthIt

* '''Exaggerated''': Lord Kill'Everyone and his men [[RapePillageAndBurn raided the town of Tinyville]], [[KillEmAll slaughtering every man, woman, and child]], destroying their crops, and [[BurnBabyBurn burning every building to the ground]], though had Tinyville remained standing, it could have provided them with food, resources, and shelter. Moreover, Kill'Everyone's over-the-top atrocities will both call [[RebelLeader Alice]]'s attention to him and result in [[NeutralNoLonger other towns casting]] [[ThisMeansWar their lot in with Alice]]. Kill'Everyone is also a BadBoss who tends to kill his {{Mook}}s [[YouHaveFailedMe for failing him]] (or [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness even succeeding]]), [[IrrationalHatred is horrible to General Bob on principle]], attacks [[OurPresidentsAreDifferent President]] [[MeaningfulName Goodman]] (who has a OneHundredPercentAdorationRating) on live television, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking litters]], simply, and all because it’s '''EEEEVVVVIL!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!111!!!!1111!!1'''

** Because of Lord Kill'Everyone's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying]] [[TeamKiller his fellow villains]] all [[EvilerThanThou just to prove he's a bigger villain than them]] and the fact that he's a BadBoss to his minions, Alice the RebelLeader has a ''really'' easy time gaining allies, including Emperor Evulz in an EnemyMine and Kill'Everyone's [[TheDogBitesBack much-abused top general]], Bob.

* '''Played for Laughs''': Kill'Everyone [[BullyingTheDragon decides it's]] [[SarcasmMode a great idea]] [[FlippingTheBird to give a middle finger]] [[DoNotTauntCthulhu to]] [[SpecialPersonNormalName Phil]] the PhysicalGod, [[KnightTemplar who is notorious]] for having a HairTriggerTemper towards villains. Kill'Everyone's men and allies all FacePalm at the same time, before saying ScrewThisImOuttaHere.

* '''IntendedAudienceReaction''': The whole point of Kill'Everyone's character is to show how self-destructive evil is. Kill'Everyone demonstrates that evil is ''not'' cool, it's contemptible. There's no excuses like "well, at least the trains run on time". True evil like that of Kill'Everyone is self-defeating and pathetic, not something to be emulated.

* '''Downplayed''': ForTheEvulz.

* '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz creates Lord Kill'Everyone to distract the world from his own much more subtle plans.

'''Basic Trope''': A villain does evil even when doing so does not help, and indeed probably ''hinders'', them.

* '''Enforced''': "We need to show the villain to be an impulsive moron so the kids ''[[AvertedTrope won't]]'' [[DracoInLeatherPants want to be like]] [[HateSink him]]."

** Kill'Everyone wrestles with his innate stupid-evilness, and is driven to depression by his [[AlwaysChaoticEvil inability to reign in his murderous impulses]], [[BeingEvilSucks even if he wants to]] [[PyrrhicVillainy or really should.]]

* '''Plotted a Good Waste''': The whole point of Kill'Everyone's character is to show how self-destructive evil is. Kill'Everyone demonstrates that evil is ''not'' cool, it's contemptible. There's no excuses like "well, at least the trains run on time". True evil like that of Kill'Everyone is self-defeating and pathetic, not something to be emulated.

** Lord Kill'Everyone is a worse villain than everybody else Alice has faced off against, even Emperor Evulz the EldritchAbomination GreaterScopeVillain, because with Evulz there is a chance (small as it is) of negotiating even if the price is to KneelBeforeZod. With Kill'Everyone, every time Alice hears that the Lord has taken a friend of hers, she knows the only thing she can do is to write them off as being already dead and pray for it to have been quick.

* '''Played for Drama''': Because of Lord Kill'Everyone's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying]] [[TeamKiller his fellow villains]] all [[EvilerThanThou just to prove he's a bigger villain than them]] and the fact that he's a BadBoss to his minions, Alice the RebelLeader has a ''really'' easy time gaining allies, including Emperor Evulz in an EnemyMine and Kill'Everyone's [[TheDogBitesBack much-abused top general]], Bob.

** Kill'Everyone is TheSociopath and really doesn't know what to do with power other than hurt as many people as possible.

* '''Reconstructed''': Kill'Everyone's whole goal was to destroy as much as he could out of spite to the world. He succeeded with flying colors.

** Kill'Everyone suffers from a mental disorder that causes a distorted view of reality. From ''his'' point of view, what he did was perfectly logical- General Bob was going to betray him anyway, the village was bringing out torches and pitchforks instead of money, and Bob hates Alice too much to ever side with her.

* '''Plotted a Good Waste''': The whole point of Kill'Everyone's character is to show how self-destructive evil is. He's such a messed-up person that all he can do is lash out at good out of pure spite, because nothing can actually satisfy him any more and the closest he can get is to ruin the happiness of others.

** Kill'Everyone is powered by a god of chaos, and needs to commit random acts of destruction to keep his powers, regardless of the said act's practicality.

** [[VillainousBreakdown Kill'Everyone's mental state deteriorated from his years of villainy.]]

** Kill'Everyone makes his demands, then burns the village as soon as they pay, ensuring that no village will ever again surrender to him without a fight.

** Lord Kill'Everyone kills his [[TheDragon Dragon]] Halgar, but he did so because [[TheStarscream Halgar was treacherous]] and plotting to usurp Evulz. Unfortunately, Halgar was also his HyperCompetentSidekick, to whom none of his {{Mooks}} can compare. But hey, Kill'Everyone would eventually have to kill Halgar anyway when he tried to usurp him, and this way he doesn't have to risk losing the fight, so no real loss. Except Halgar's [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes loving brother]] Skullgar is Kill'Everyone's AlmightyJanitor, and he didn't take kindly to Kill'Everyone murdering his sibling.

* '''Exaggerated''': Lord Kill'Everyone and his men [[RapePillageAndBurn raided the town of Tinyville]], [[KillEmAll slaughtering every man, woman, and child]], destroying their crops, and [[BurnBabyBurn burning every building to the ground]], though had Tinyville remained standing, it could have provided them with food, resources, and shelter.

* '''Enforced''': "We need to show the villain to be an impulsive moron so the kids won't want to be like him."

** While Emperor Evulz had nothing to do with Kill-Everyone's origin (and [[EvenEvilHasStandards in fact rather detests him]]) he's not above using Kill-Everyone's antics to distract from or further his own operations.
** [[GuileHero Alice]] defeats Kill'Everyone by goading him with BriarPatching and IfYoureSoEvilThenEatThisKitten. He ''always'' falls for it

** Kill-Everyone's insane, destructive, actions wind up devastating everything around him. Even though he technically "wins" by killing all his enemies (through unpredictability or sheer raw power), [[PyrrhicVillainy the world around him is so ruined that it's impossible for him to accomplish his original goals]].
** Kill'Everyone wrestles with his innate stupid-evilness, and is driven to depression by his [[AlwaysChaoticEvil inability to reign in his murderous impulses]], [[BeingEvilSuckss even if he wants to]] [[PyrrhicVillainy or really should.]]

'''Basic Trope''': A villain does evil even when it makes no sense to do so.
* '''Straight''': [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lord Kill-Everyone]] decides to indulge in EvilGloating while he has AliceAndBob in his grasp instead of just killing them outright.
* '''Exaggerated''': Kill-Everyone and his men [[RapePillageAndBurn raided the town of Tinyville]], [[KillEmAll slaughtering every man, woman, and child]], destroying their crops, and burning every building to the ground, even though that town could have provided them with food, protection, and shelter. Besides, said destruction will call the heroes’ attention to their whereabouts. Kill-Everyone is also a BadBoss who tends to kill his {{Mook}}s [[YouHaveFailedMe for failing him]] (or [[YouHaveOutLivedYourUsefulness even succeeding]]), attacks ThePresident on live television, and [[MurderArsonAndJaywalking litters]], simply, and all because it’s '''EEEEVVVVIL!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!111!!!!1111!!1'''

** Kill-Everyone is '''REALLY''' that dumb.
** Kill-Everyone is manipulated/deceived/mind-controlled/possessed/etc. by someone/something else with his/her/its/their own agenda.
** Kill-Everyone is powered by a god of chaos, and needs to commit random acts of destruction to keep his powers, regardless of the said act's practicality.
** [[VillainousBreakdown Kill-Everyone's mentality deteriorated from his years of villainy.]]

** GoodIsDumb

** “Bah. Burn it down anyway.”
** Kill-Everyone makes his demands, then burns the village ''before'' they can pay, destroying the resources he was hoping to take for himself.
** Kill-Everyone makes his demands, then burns the village as soon as they pay, ensuring that no village will ever again surrender to him without a fight.
* '''Parodied''': [[OmnicidalManiac Lord Kill-Everyone]] is so desperate to [[EvilerThanThou commit more evil than any villain before him,]] he would [[MeaningfulName follow the edict that is his name]], never giving any thought to the ramifications of making himself the LastOfHisKind...all while speaking in a SimpletonVoice.

** Kill-Everyone kills his [[TheDragon Dragon]], Harm, but he did so because [[TheStarscream Harm was treacherous]] and [[ReverseMole covertly helping Alice and Bob]]. Unfortunately, Harm was also his HyperCompetentSidekick, to whom none of his {{Mooks}} can compare.
** Kill-Everyone is a character in a long-running series with different authors who disagree on his characterization. Many of them write him as an insane moron who lashes out in ways that hurt everyone (including himself), others make him more intelligent and reasonable, and the audience never knows which they'll get.
* '''Averted''': Kill-Everyone shows a reasonable degree of competence.
* '''Enforced''': "We need to show the villain to be an impulsive moron so the kids won't want to be him"

** “Gee, Kill-Everyone has a fixation on being evil at all costs.”

* '''Invoked''': Emperor Evulz creates Lord Kill-Everyone to distract the world from his own much more subtle plans.

** The heroes are frequently able to trick Kill-Everyone into defeating himself by a bit of BriarPatching and IfYoureSoEvilEatThisKitten. He falls for it every time.

** [[TheDragon Harm]], being more competent and professional, knows that Kill-Everyone would doom everyone in the group, forms a coup to stop Kill-Everyone before he does something worse.
* '''Discussed''': "Kill-Everyone's cruelty matches with his foolishness."

** Kill-Everyone’s chronic BondVillainStupidity eventually catches up to him, getting him incarcerated or even killed.

** Kill-Everyone wrestles with his innate stupid-evilness, and is driven to depression by his [[AlwaysChaoticEvil inability to reign in his murderous impulses]], [[BeingEvilSuckss even if he wants to]] [[PyrrhicVillainy or really should.]]
* '''Reconstructed''': Despite the end of Kill-Everyone's acts of chaos, he still manages to cause destruction because of his needless acts of violence.
* '''Played for Laughs''': Kill-Everyone [[BullyingTheDragon decides it's]] [[SarcasmMode a great idea]] [[FlippingTheBird to give a middle finger]] [[DoNotTauntCthulhu to the]] PhysicalGod [[SpecialPersonNormalName Phil]] [[KnightTemplar who is notorious]] for having a HairTriggerTemper towards villains. Kill-Everyone's men and allies all FacePalm at the same time.
* '''Played for Drama''': Because of Kill-Everyone's [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder constantly betraying]] [[TeamKiller his fellow villains]] all [[EvilerThanThou just to prove he's a bigger villain than them]] and the fact that he's a BadBoss. The other villains formed an EnemyMine with AliceAndBob.
