Villain cliches

Hello, Doc M here with something I'd like to call Villain Cliches. Where we explain the different cliches that are asscioated with villains in cartoons, comic books, and movies.





Villain Cliche 1#: Evil Laughter





The first cliche everybody knows is ascioated with villains is evil laughter. It is essentially one of the main cliches that comes with being a villain. That's one cliche you can't forget. Vincent Price had a very good evil laugh as heard at the end of the song Thriller by Michael Jackson (he did the "rap" in the middle of the song).

Villain Cliche 2#: Big, Scary looking fortress/castle.

The second cliche which is ascioated with villains is that they live in a big, scary looking evil fortress/castle. Our friend Tyrone The Terrible happens to be a villain himself and lives in a place just like this (his is the dark gothic looking one with a big T on it). This is one of the best known villain cliches.

Villain Cliche 3#: Monologuing.

This third villain cliche is the most ANNOYING of them all. Our friend Sam Leno/Chinstar is a superhero and one of the things he hates is when the villain starts going on and on about their evil plans and so fourth. Picture this, the hero and his trusty sidekick have are about to face uncertain doom and the villain is standing there with an evil smirk on his face, the hero asks "Before you kill us, would you mind telling me what this is all about?" so the villain does indeed tell the hero- in the form of a monologue, an extremely long and annoying one- and the hero is thinking "Why doesn't this guy just actually DO what he's planning of doing instead of talking about it?". And quite frankly I would be thinking the exact same thing. It seems that some villains NEVER shut up.
