->''Generally speaking, if you're going to have the hero and villain oppose each other, and want to make a compelling story out of it, it behooves you as a writer to have the villain actually pose a threat- chances are that's why you want to show how scary they can be. However, having a villain misdirect anger at subordinates for minor failures doesn't scream "very dangerous, does not mess around" nearly so much as it does "terrible management of emotions, subordinates, or both, shooting themselves in the foot and making things way easier for the heroes."''
