*** Slightly subverted as Vader is slowly revealed across the franchise to be a tortured and remorseful shell of a man behind the menacing suit, and he even pulls a [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath and becomes a Force Ghost in peace!]]



** The Empire goes so far as to give its big ships needlessly brutish and unpleasant names, because of course nobody is going to question what side they're on when they're assigned to the Star Destroyer ''Tyrant'' or ''Virulence''. Said ships are also ridiculously large space daggers, just to drive the point home. Also, not to forget that the super-weapon the Empire built to overtly rule the galaxy (and is onscreen used to [{Film/ANewHope destroy a planet]]) is called the ''Death Star''.

Comparative to some of the Franchise/MonsterVerse[='s=] other human {{Big Bad Wannabe}}s, who seem quite ordinary if not outright charming at first glance and can use this to manipulate others around them; Jonah projects an ice-cold demeanor throughout his screentime (with Creator/CharlesDance[='s=] IcyBlueEyes to go with it), even without his very-long rep sheet and infamy, and his wardrobe has quite a militant and/or guerilla look.

*** Well, Palpatine isn't exactly subtle about being TheChessmaster while in his Chancellor identity either, what with his constant kindergarten psychology manipulations of Anakin and his [[LargeHam sarcastically mockingly genteel nature]]. But somehow [[WhatAnIdiot the entire Jedi Order is still taken completely by surprise when he turns out to be evil...]] [[MemeticMutation DEWIT!]]

* ''Film/GlassOnion'': Miles Bron is a parody of Elon Musk played by Creator/EdwardNorton (no stranger to playing smug villains and jerks), who spends every second on screen showing he is a KnowNothingKnowItAll who doesn't cares about the safety of other people as long as he gets a lot of money and the chance to show it off, and has already destroyed the life of Andi Brand (the real brains behind his operation) a la ''Film/TheSocialNetwork''. When the film eventually reveals that Andi has been recently murdered, it takes a little longer to reveal that Bron is the culprit, but it also lays it on so thick that [[GreatDetective Benoit Blanc]] is angry at himself for missing it, [[ComplexityAddiction exactly because he thought that it was too obvious]].
