Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Obviously Evil helps.
Spiral out, keep going.

From a meta standpoint, the whole point of the trope is that the villain has no objectively strong defining motivations for villainy. I don't know how to demonstrate this unless we find a webcomic of some sort that lampshades the situation of a character being evil for "reasons."

The image itself is fine, it describes the trope very well. GDV is basically "a villain that exists for the plot, is evil for the sake of it"
To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

The Rosers were red. The Drownies are blue. I know What the Thunder Said. Do you?

Definite consensus to keep the current; the tag is updated. Locking up.

I like this image for the villain drawing on the left, but it's a bit text-heavy. Any ideas for how this could be improved? Say, involving Show, Don't Tell?
