  From the tvtropes.org/pmwiki/…/EvilOverlordList

  4: Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

  7: When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”

  13: All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not Left for Dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

      What blows my mind is that I could right now recreate this in moments on a cheap, low-power microcontroller.

    Okay when the options are throwing a football down field or up field, the option to hit a softball with a sledgehammer isn’t helpful.

  Going easy on traitors is how Germany gave us WWII.

    But we gave him a nice little prison stay to write his manifesto in! Surely he learned his lesson and won’t attempt to overthrow democracy again, right?

    …right?

  They can still come back from another parallel reality or some such - villains are like cats, they always come back (unless they are bored and then they don’t).
