->''Like, have you ever wondered why most stereotypical villains never get off their throne until it's their time to personally take the fight to the battlefield? It's because in order to convince us that this person never does anything not evil, they have to continuously live in this poorly lit room, on this skull-encrusted throne, or perhaps for variety, a single Sinister Laboratory with blood and screaming so we know that all science that takes place here is Evil.''
->''They cannot move, cannot do anything, unless it is immediately shown as because they're evil, and they are doing an Evil interaction. If a villain like this does something for public relations we see them expressing how disgusted they are with how Good that was, or else planning something malicious to ruin it, purely so we know they didn't actually ''enjoy'' doing good.''

->''"We first met the cinematic version of {{Thanos}} in 2012 — his face smiling at us during a mid-credits sequence of ''Film/TheAvengers'', there to let us know that this guy is the mastermind behind the whole operation. OK then! Eventually we learn that Thanos is trying to [[GottaCatchEmAll collect the Infinity Stones]], because if he has those, he will become a god. Fair enough. Though, now, after ten movies in the Marvel cinematic universe – ten! – Thanos has a grand total of zero Infinity Stones. So far, Thanos is terrible at being a supervillain. I’m starting to feel bad for Thanos, to be honest. He has a nice smile, a neat-looking gold suit and a comfortable-looking space chair, but other than that, I don’t think he has a lot going for him."''\\
