Yeah but someone pointed out to me once that villain monologues are largely a lazy way to showcase motivations that should have been demonstrated better and cover up gaping plotholes and now I just can't enjoy them as much.
I felt that stuff for a bit and got over it. If villain motivation isn't that important to what the plot is trying to accomplish then I don't really care. It can be fun to notice but I no longer necessarily see it as a flaw, it is sometimes bit other times, I'm mostly going off movies cause I know those most, it might just add very little to anything but the runtime. Sometimes you can just get it by how they act or whatever. You can show don't tell it and sometimes you just want a Saturday morning cartoon villain and that's fine. Tropes are a bad way to judge a thing.
Yeah that's fair. It's more that I can't not think about it now than anything! Mind you, I guess if u r thinking too closely about that sorta thing then the film probably hasn't worked out for you anyway
Because for every writer good enough to write shit movie dialogue, there's like 10000 who can't even do that. And not all of them have parents who can turn them into Ben Sharpiro, so they turn into fash shitposters instead.
Why the fuck do so many people on reddit write as if they're a villain in a terrible 90's straight to video sci fi film?
Don't stop them. It's funny as hell every time.

I literally imagined them as this
