"I've found the creature! He's hate—death and bloodlust personified! Nothing more."

Dave: So let me get this straight. Your plan was to spend decades of your life and a bajillion dollars to build a time machine so you could go back and steal experimental metatechnology from New Genesis just so you could build a machine that brings badfic characters to life? Seriously dude what the fuck???
Monarch: Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Dave: Oh right I forgot. You're a one dimensional cardboard cutout masquerading as a supervillain.
Monarch: And don't you forget it!

"Bad guys are great. There's nothing quite like a malevolent presence that implacably wishes evil on everyone in town. A guy with a sneer and a moustache and an upset stomach. A guy totally unlike the evil entity in The Amityville Horror. The horror in this movie, alas, isn't a bad guy at all. Doesn't have a shape or a face or a personality. May not even be a guy [...] In order to be a horror movie, a horror movie needs a real Horror. The creature in Alien was truly gruesome. The case of possession in The Exorcist was profoundly frightening. The problem with The Amityville Horror is that, in a very real sense, there's nothing there."

"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!"

"The vanilla villains (The Fisher King, the Space Viking, the Lion Man) of series nine have another member on their team. Monsters that are made out of the evolved gunk in your eye. We're really scraping the barrel now."

"The aliens in Battleship are typical antisocial movie xenomorphs. They exist exclusively to destroy things. There's no motivation. They just show up, play a giant game of "Battleship" (yes, they find a way to shoehorn in a few rounds), help our hero to grow up, then fall prey to a Deus ex Machina."

"I've written before about how I actually hold Bane in pretty high regard, but his fellow poster-boy for the '90s is pretty awful. Bane is constructed to reveal something about Batman, to show his limits and the flaw in his character that results from what should be his greatest strength: his dedication to his mission. Doomsday wears green bike shorts and punches Superman until they both die."
Chris Sims, discussing Doomsday's characterization and purpose

"Solaris’ plan? Destroy all time and space as we know it. Why? I don’t know, he’s a dick.
ClementJ642, in the finale to his Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) review.

Orobas: ...? He he... I...have...awakened...the power that sleeps...within the earth...
Anastasia: I can't wait around for this, you snail! Just get to the point! What's this sleeping power you're talking about?
Orobas: I will destroy the world...with the sleeping power...!
Anastasia: Oh, please! Not again! Is that all your type ever talks about? Do you really want to destroy the world that badly?
Orobas: Yes. Once the land is ruled by my hand, then...
Anastasia: Once you rule it, yes? And Then What??
Orobas: ......... Then... Then... I'll have to think about it...
Anastasia:You don't know, do you?! You just come up with this stupid plan to destroy the world and call yourself a monster?! You're ridiculous!
Orobas: Whaaat?! You...! Think before you speak! You think my plan is s-stupid?! You'll pay for your rudeness!

Deuce: You might call it refreshing...
Leon: But that what makes him so terrifying.
