* YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive

* [[YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime You Have No Chance To Survive]] (uttered before [[BondVillainStupidity walking off]] or [[WeWait doing nothing]])

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime (before [[BondVillainStupidity walking off]] or [[WeWait doing nothing]])

Heroes tend to not gloat, which is why villains facing a SwordOverHead will usually either be allowed to live or killed without [[BondOneLiner (much)]] [[KirkSummation fanfare]].

* VictoryGloating

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime (before [[BondVillainStupidity walking away]] or [[WeWait doing nothing]])

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime (before [[BondVillainStupidity leaving the room]] or [[WeWait doing nothing]])

* [=~No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You To Dine~=]

Gloating. It's what villains ''do.'' Maybe they "[[SomebodySetUpUsTheBomb set up us the bomb]]" and are calling to rub it in and take credit, perhaps he's just [[MacGuffinDeliveryService snatched the MacGuffin]] from the hero's very hands and insist on staying ''just out of reach'' to taunt. Maybe the villain finally has the hero at his mercy and just ''has'' to taunt him one last time before [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim shooting him]].

--->'''Frozone:''': He starts monologuing! He goes into this prepared speech about how ''feeble'' I am compared to him, how ''inevitable'' my defeat is, how the ''world'' will ''soon'' be '''HIS'''!! [[BlahBlahBlah Yadda yadda yadda.]]

* UnwittingPawn ("in my scheme all along!")

* UnwittingPawn ("in fulfillment of my plan all along!")

Or perhaps this is the place where they finally have a chance to get [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech all the reasons they despise the hero personally]] off their chest. Any [[WhatTheHellHero mistakes]] the hero makes are also fair game for villainous gloating. At any rate, while this is a villainous staple on par with a hero and InTheNameOfTheMoon, it's still one of the things the EvilOverlordList strenuously warns against, as any villain caught gloating is sure to be either killed or foiled. In their defense, it's really ''[[EvilIsStylish fun]]'' and gives you that warm evil feeling in the black pit of your soul when you utterly [[HeroicBSOD grind your opponent's face into the dirt.]] Unfortunately, most villains fail to [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim grind hard enough]].

* XanatosSucker ("everything you have done has been in fulfillment of my plan!")

If they've just finished owning TheHero, this is sure to become TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, but don't worry, a ThwartedCoupDeGrace is coming up. May overlap with TrashTalk. See also VillainBall and DidYouActuallyBelieve? Has some similarities to the MotiveRant. A particularly sadistic version of this is IShowedHerWhatARealManIs.

!!{{Monologuing}}-related tropes:

Related tropes include:

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime (often before [[VillainExitStageRight leaving the room]] or to justify [[WeWait doing nothing]])

** Frankly, this is a pretty behavior of the homunculi. Greed and Lust both did ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy (the latter because she didn't plan to leave them alive anyway), Wrath often monologues about humans being weak, and Pride's a really big offender too.

Subtropes include:

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime (often before [[VillainExitStageRight leaving the room]] or used to justify [[WeWait doing nothing]])

* YouHaveNoChanceToSurviveMakeYourTime
* YouWillBeSpared

Compare with JustBetweenYouAndMe (where the villain has the hero captured and at their mercy) and VictoryGloating.
