Oh, FORGET that. 'I wanna go to Earth.' 'I want to kill my old girlfriend.' 'I want to eat my family's flesh and drink their marrow.' 'I want to blow up my school.'

->...And then there's a bloke with a goatee, shifty eyes, and an army of robots who starts off [[SixthRangerTraitor ostensibly an ally]], but is so [[ObviouslyEvil ass-wipingly obviously the villain]] that the game absent-mindedly forgets to establish that he is. After they complete their mission together, he just goes, 'BORED NOW,' and kidnaps someone for literally no reason and to nobody's surprise. Well, the reason he gives is that he wanted the heroes to come to his house and look at some stuff he's been working on. '''[[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot Fucking ring them up!]]''' Or just ''ask'' them, they're '''right there!''' Offer them a lift on your getaway vehicle! It's like he only knows how to get things done in an evil way. All he wants is to work with the scientist to open an ancient ruin, something the scientist seems quite willing to do. But [[DistressedDude not after he's been helicoptered to a Dracula castle in a fucking cage!]] This guy needs an intervention!

You know, this is the ComicBook/DCUniverse. An alternate version of it, yes, but still the DC Universe. This is a world that features talking apes that fight flying robots, little kids who yell, 'Shazam!' and get magical powers, and [[CosmicRetcon the universe reboots itself]] every few years. Even in a world that has all of that, you do not make sense! This is the worst kind of villain, folks: He has no motivation, no credible backstory, no emotional connection that makes us sympathize or understand ''why'' he does the things that he does -- he's just some asshole who wants to kill the hero Because He's The Villain!"

->...My unofficial subtitle for ''Videogame/ResidentEvil4'' is "the only good one" because that was the only one that seemed 100% aware of how fucking stupid the central premise is. Which is that unleashing [[BioweaponBeast giant feral slime monsters]] in populated areas is considered a flawless assassination/terrorism/[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking home security]] solution, to the point that inexplicably wealthy Saturday-morning cartoon villains are queuing up to invest. I want to go to the universe of Resident Evil and introduce everyone to the concept of a [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot really big bomb]]. No cleaning up piles of snot, no plucky survivors out to foil your retarded evil schemes, no [[GoneHorriblyWrong getting eaten by close friends and family members you mutated against their will]] because you needed test subjects and have some kind of blind spot for [[DisposableVagrant homeless people]], you just ''[[WhyDontYouJustShootHim drop it and everyone dies!!]]'' I'd make a fucking ''packet''!!

->''Even though such a thing had happened in Hungary, [[UsefulNotes/BenitoMussolini Mussolini]] did not believe Hitler would do something so insane. Hungary was a small, easily conquerable country with half of its troops still in Russia. [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] knew that if he attacked Italy, he would be declaring war on Spain, Bulgaria and Croatia, and those were just the nations he and his allies bordered. How was he going to hold France (as he was doing quite successfully, all things considered) if he was suddenly going to open a gigantic front on the Pyranees? What about the Ploesti oil that would be easily attained by Bulgarian assault? And for what? So he could kill Jews? No one believed Hitler could be that stupid. What they had forgotten was, as the famous Jew UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein had said, “Only two things are infinite: the Universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the Universe.” Perhaps ‘stupidity’ isn’t the right word – perhaps it’s ‘evil’.''
