History PlayingWith / TheBadGuyWins

** Evulz may have won this time around, but BeingEvilSucks, and on his throne in [[{{Mordor}} withering, lifeless wasteland]] of his own creation, the only [[FairWeatherFriend people]] who surround him are a breed of OpportunisticBastard[=/=]TheStarscream or insincere [[YesMan YesMen]], all of the [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes people he loves]] are dead, the surviving remnants of his family are [[IHaveNoSon estranged and have long since disowned him]], all of his {{Mooks}}- the [[MookDepletion ones who survived the war, at least]]- hate him or are [[TheDreaded terrified of him]]... [[FromBadToWorse Furthermore]], without the fervor of 'righteous' war to keep the populace engaged, the once [[{{Brainwashing}} brainwashed]] citizenry and the [[SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil enslaved]] prisoners of war, in their millions, now [[HeelRealization have come to realize]] all the destruction and [[FinalSolution genocide]] Evulz has wrought upon the [[VillainWorld world]] and have come out to oppose him and threaten his reign with death, to the point where he can't even leave his castle without his PraetorianGuard by his side, a fact that all of his [[BastardUnderstudy once obeisant yet now unruly generals and subservient lords]] are more than willing to seize upon in their [[RightHandVersusLeftHand petty]] [[WeAREStrugglingTogether struggles]] [[InterserviceRivalry for]] [[EnemyCivilWar power]]. In short, he WonTheWarLostThePeace.

** Evulz, ALighterShadeOfBlack, wins in EvilVersusEvil story against the EldritchAbomination threatening his empire.

* '''Exploited''': [[EvilOnlyHasToWinOnce Now that good has thoroughly been quashed]], all of mankind's most [[VillainByDefault evil]] [[AcceptableTargets professions]] can at last breathe free; [[MorallyBankruptBanker Bankers]] siccing [[EvilDebtCollector repo men]] on their clients to [[RidiculousRepossession file the very fillings out of their teeth]], [[CorruptCorporateExecutive sleazy businessmen]] [[ChesireCatGrin with ear-to-ear grins]] robbing poor people blind, if not just outright [[KillThePoor killing them]] and [[ImAHumanitarian eating them]], and [[EvilLawyerJoke lawyers]] [[BuffySpeak lawyering up the place]].

* '''Implied''': The outcome of the big final battle is not shown... but the epilogue shows that TheEmpire of Evulz is still standing.

Finally, TheBadGuyWins [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin at last]]

* '''Exploited''': ???

** Emperor Evulz himself [[PyrrhicVictory isn't too happy with his victory]]: [[BeingEvilSucks ruling the world]] [[DystopiaIsHard is hard]], [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating he has]] [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer no close]] [[HatedByAll friends who care for him]], [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his family]] [[IHaveNoSon hates him for what he's done]], [[VillainousBSOD and he suffers]] [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone repressed guilt from his crimes]]. By the end, [[AlasPoorVillain you feel sorry for him]] as it dawns on him that all his bad actions were for nothing.

** To make matters worse, Emperor Evulz and his cronies overthrew the BombThrowingAnarchists and their PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny, [[ColdBloodedTorture torture]] rebels, enslave [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain any and all minorities]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking shave the hair off of everyone's head]].

* '''Conversed''': "Holy Bleep! Emperor Evulz won in the season finale, and now there's not going to be a Season Six. I guess ''Tales of Troperia'' is now officially a bad guy wins scenario."

* '''Parodied''': Both the duo of Bob and Alice, MartyStu and MarySue wannabes (respectively), fight against Evulz, VillainSue wannabe. Said duo lost. Thankfully, They took it well. [[WhatTheHellHero Their comrades, on the other hand, did not.]]

** The school bully succeeds in their plan about beating up the protagonist.

** Evulz has succeeded in his [[ApocalypseHow/ClassZ Class Z-3 apocalypse]], which negates the creation of the omniverse, considering it to be the greatest victory of his entire life as he is the only one not affected by the history erasure.

** [[TooBleakStoppedCaring The audience stops caring about what's happening due to the ending.]]

** [[VillainWorld Evulz]] ''[[VillainWorld Already]]'' [[VillainWorld won long ago, there's no hero to defeat him]]

** "For once, make Bob and Alice lose. People these days usually get tired of having the heroes win [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin every]] InvincibleHero time]]."

** "For once, make Bob and Alice lose. People these days usually get tired of having the heroes win [[InvincibleHero every time]]."

** Emperor Evulz himself [[PyrrhicVictory isn't too happy with his victory]]: [[BeingEvilSucks ruling the world]] [[DystopiaIsHard is hard]], [[ZeroPercentApprovalRating he has]] [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer no close]] [[HatedByAll friends who care for him]], [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes his family]] [[IHaveNoSon hates him for what he's done]], and [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone he suffers repressed guilt from his crimes]]. By the end, [[AlasPoorVillain you feel sorry for him]] as it dawns on him that all his bad actions were for nothing.

** Emperor Evulz kills the heroes, conquers of the world, and is sitting pretty on his skull throne. And suddenly the thought crosses his mind: [[VictoryIsBoring "What now?"]]

** The school bully gets away with beating up the protagonist.

* '''Averted''': Evulz doesn't win in any way.
