History Quotes / HarmlessVillain

->Mr. Hyde is not all that compelling in this movie. He is built up all during the first half (kind of like Harry Lime in ''Film/TheThirdMan'') where we only get [[TheDreaded glimpses and whisper]]s of how evil he is. When we finally meet him we find he is not so much evil as just an asshole. He beats up a few people but the majority of his evil acts are insulting people and drawing penises in medical textbooks ([[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer I’m not kidding]]). Heck I can get that from any episode of ''{{Series/House}}.''

->Watching Thanos fail at obtaining an Infinity Stone has become as common as watching [[Series/TheDukesOfHazzard the Duke boys once again thwart Boss Hogg]]. And the thing is, it’s fun to watch the good guys win -- and win, and win, and win, and win, and win, and win, and win, and win, and win -- but now I’ve started to feel [[IneffectualSympatheticVillain a legitimate amount of sympathy for Thanos]]. Would it kill the universe just to let the guy have one Stone? I mean, it has been ten movies. What would one Stone hurt? Perhaps this is why EdgarWright left ''Film/AntMan''? Maybe his grand idea was for poor Thanos to finally get himself a Stone. ''"Sorry, Edgar, that’s just never going to happen. [[GetOut We have to let you go now for even suggesting such a thing.]]"''\\\
In all seriousness, it is funny to take stock of where all of the Stones are at this point and realize that after 20 hours of movie time, Thanos has managed to collect zero of them. (And he may have had one, but [[Film/TheAvengers he gave that one to Loki]], which just makes this all the worse if true: That would mean he’s actually ''down'' a Stone over the course of ten movies.) And, yes, I realize that by the time we see Thanos as the rumored marquee villain in ''The Avengers 3: Please Let Me Have An Infinity Stone, Love Thanos'', he’ll probably have all of the Stones. And, to be honest, by that point, [[RootingForTheEmpire I might be rooting for him]]. His determination should be celebrated.

->[[Wrestling/RoddyPiper Piper]] has a contract that says he can appear, and threatens to sue. [[DiabolicalMastermind The PTB guy]] placates Piper just long enough to calm him down. PTB tells Piper that he'll be appearing on TV all right, but as a *lowly* referee...and if Piper doesn't go along, HE'LL get sued!\\\
AHAHAHAHAHA! He fell for the old 'I'll piss you off so you let me be a ref, [[BriarPatching the most POWERFUL man]] in WCW!" routine! [[AesopAmnesia Second time this week]]...and if that doesn't work, PTB will show Piper - he'll demote him all the way down to COMMISSIONER!

->And that's how Jason Took Manhattan. I guess he didn't really TAKE Manhattan, so much as...I don't know. Annoy it briefly? Strolled through it for about 3 minutes without hurting anybody? And then got killed in [[VillainDecay a really embarrassing fashion]] that doesn't make any sense? Heck he barely made an impact on Manhattan. What are the papers bound to say if they even run the story? '[[AC:JASON VOORHEES GOES ON RAMPAGE: [[WorstNewsJudgementEver DESTROYS BOOMBOX]], NOBODY HURT.]]'

->Wolverine has become so [[InvincibleHero ridiculously overexposed]] in the Marvel Universe that his supposed '[[{{Archenemy}} greatest foe]]' can be unceremoniously dead for a year following a disastrously stupid Creator/JephLoeb storyline, and ''no one has really noticed''. Much like Crystal Pepsi and car phones, Sabretooth is something a post-[[UsefulNotes/TheNineties '90s]] world no longer needs.\\\
That said, Sabretooth manages [[DroppedABridgeOnHim to die in a fantastically idiotic fashion]] for a character that was once so important. You see, Wolverine has a magic katana made out of his own soul that nullifies mutant healing factor. Wait—I'm not sure you caught that. Wolverine has a ''fucking magic katana made out of his own soul that nullifies mutant healing factor.'' Ahem.

->The Borrower's superpower was leaving [[CallingCard signed documentation]] at the scene of all his robberies. That's like being a regular criminal only easier to convict -- like, suspiciously easier. His escape vehicle is a chatty stroll and he's dressed like an embedded reporter in a war between leprechauns. If a rookie superhero saw The Borrower, he'd probably say, 'Oh, fuck. This is all [[CandidCameraPrank some kind of Make a Wish Foundation stunt.]] I'm ... I'm dying, aren't I?' The Borrower's crime spree was doomed from the start, but it's a special kind of shitty luck when you snatch WonderWoman's purse. She spends most of her superhero days being chloroformed and hogtied by Egg Fu or Baron Blitzkrieg, so a normal guy with a pile of napkins and a pen is like Christmas. It was such a relaxing day of crimefighting that she went shopping before she bothered to put on her costume.

->Oh, and we also got an appearance by a vaguely heel [[{{WWE}} Lord Alfred Hayes]], who [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude made fun of Todd’s name]]. And yeah, that was pretty much heel Alfred – he was never blatantly evil, just more like he got out of the wrong side of the bed in the morning.

->'''Chris:''' Dracula in this movie definitely looks like [[RidiculouslyAverageGuy the default version in a video game]] that allows you to customize your character. “…And [[VideoGame/massEffect Commander John Shepard]] as Dracula.”\\

->'''Chris:''' I also really enjoyed Tom Welling’s [[EvilTwin Ultraman]]. I love that in ''Smallville'', the opposite of Superman is a guy who bangs two hookers, makes out with his sister, vaporizes criminals with his heat vision and then acts like a jerk to Lois.\\
'''David''': I love how he’s just as whiny and ineffectual at evil as Clark is at good.

'''Dan:''' Yeah he was one for the books.\\

'''Dan:''' He tried that with ''me'', only I'd heard about him, so I just walked away. He follows me down the street… broad daylight, right, screaming "Punish me! PUNISH ME!" I'm like "No! Get lost!"\\

->'''Ganon''': Now how am I gonna get back at that ''jerk'' for everything he's done to me? Hmm, I could always kidnap the princess... nah, been there, done that. I could just go and kill him, but that wouldn't be evil enough... No, I must do something so utterly evil, he'll be all like, "Whoa dude, that was like totally evil!" I got it! I'll go punch him in the nose! That'll show him!
->'''Bit''': That's gotta be the worst idea I've ever heard!
