That awkward phase you went through when you had braces? I searched the world over for the two people with the most horrendously crooked teeth and forced to fall in love. You, of course, call them Mom and Dad.

[@genericallyentertaining]

Trying to make the protagonist's life miserable before they're even born; I like it.

[@brendawoodard5007]

I’m TIRED of telling EVERYONE this, but I HAVE to!!!! I had to like this comment. My like number is divisible by 37 (In this case, it’s 148.). It’s therefore unlucky. That’s a minor inconvenience.

[@spawel1]

@@brendawoodard5007 148 isn't unlucky what are you? babylonian? 13 is only unlucky under certain contexts. 1+3 = 4 which is a neutral number but unlucky in certain contexts as well, being 148 though it is a lucky number because the 8 modulates the 4 (4x8 = 32). also 37 is lucky 3+7 = 10 which is lucky and by themselves 3 and 7 are lucky.

[@vauiarex4877]

I'd be like, "are you telling me nothing in my life was ever my fault?"

[@gilgameshdhofar8706]

This is literally just Professor Zoom and The Flash's dynamic

[@thetroll595]

I was just about to say that, but then I saw your comment.

[@scarlettNET]

And it's basically the only time it's worked well. At least it's the only one I can think of :P

[@niidea927]

iT wAs mE, bArrY!

I spoiled your milk Barry

[@groofay]

Fantastic impression of BBC Sherlock's Moriarty

[@genericallyentertaining]

I've , uh... actually never watched Sherlock. But I'll take your word for it!

[@groofay]

@@genericallyentertaining Oh, he's just a generically queer-coded villain who is directly or indirectly responsible for 90% of everything that happens in the show for no reason. You're not missing much.

[@MRCOLOURfilld]

Also the anti flash villain.

[@drnanard9605]

​@@groofayyou mean... like he is in the Conan Doyle stories? Moriarty being behind everything is like his whole gimmick. Making a Sherlock Holmes adaptation without Moriarty controlling everything from the shadows would be like making a Road Runner show where Wily Coyote doesn't want to eat the bird.

[@Jurgan6]

@@drnanard9605 most of the Sherlock stories do not have anything to do with Moriarty. I'll admit I haven't read The Final Problem, but if it really did say that he was behind literally every villain Sherlock ever confronted, that's a huge retcon that makes no sense. What, the Red-Headed League had a guy copy Encyclopedia Britannica on Moriarty's orders? The guy at the statuary shop dropped a pearl into a bust of Napoleon because Moriarty told him to?

[@afrodobooks]

This is one of big pet peeves when it comes to certain stories and their villains. 😅 Bonus points when it's revealed that the villain completely planned for the hero to kill him so this certain thing could happen in the background which could create this other thing and that'll create this thing and it'll create this avalanche of things as part of his master plan!

[@pablocau3792]

Aizen: "...that's a terrible impresion..." Urahara: "But not inaccurate"

[@devonwilliams9576]

Turning off my guys alarm to make him miss work is absolutely the most evil thing

[@dorkyface]

This has serious "It was ME, Barry!" vibes, lol

[@gaminganimators7000]

Except he can travel time so it makes sense he does and knows everything

[@psykedude]

Somehow bleach had TWO villains like this

[@kgb2753]

It was me, Barry

[@evbinc]

Me while watching the video: "Huh, that's a nice parody of overcontrolling villain. Wait, is that a Three body trilogy on the bookshelf? Well, it really is!"

[@thewizard-edits]

a villain that only ever makes petty nuisances happen to the hero is really funny ngl

[@scarlettNET]

He's the author of all Neil's pain

[@enderlord8771]

Jokes on you, I was already subscribed.

[@CheeF_Phetty]

This, along with "it was me Barry" best summarize this trope.

[@zinkheroofyoutube8004]

Ah, I see this villain subscribed to the Reverse Flash pettiness

[@smorrow]

That's why I don't care for conspiracy theories - they give the government too much credit. Plus, if you need some villain to be the blame every time you see a bad thing happen, you're missing the very important idea that bad things can actually come from good intentions.

[@gavinsmith9871]

This is just the Reverse Flash lol.

[@themodernfrontiersmen]

Reverse Flash be like

[@thesocialmediagame]

This is exactly why I respected so much what writers did with the main canon story of Rick and Morty. SPOILERS ahead... This is the exact same scenario between Prime Rick and Rick C-137, Prime Rick literally shaped Rick's entire multi-verse realities through the central finite curve when he invented portal traveling. But instead of quitting, Rick C-137 was ready to give his life up in order to get revenge, what no one could've expected was that Rick C-137 had no chance on defeating Prime Rick, so Evil Morty would be the one defeating him, (which by the way was a genius plot twist) giving Rick C-137 the upper hand, and when Prime Rick said: What your life would be without me? before getting it, Rick C-137 said: Let's find out. Perfect way to manage this premise.

[@user-xu6ie9js9z]

"Every villain works for me." "What about BınLaden?" "What?" "He was a villain wasn't he?" "Well, I can tell you that Bush worked for me…"

[@dattasid123]

But why did the villain make the hero walk away before he was done talking?

[@pdan4]

Lmao. This actually works though, if your villain is like, a cosmic evil; would fit right in with a sort of alternate Lovecraftian horror (where the unfathomly powerful gods DO care about you, and they hate you so much they make your life torture in ways you can't even conceive to fight against).

[@TurusDJava]

It was me Barry 🤣😂

[@chrisprice8112]

So you saw Spectre? :P

[@diazkohen2149]

I hate this type of character trope trait. The fucking "All according to plan" ahhh anime, manga, manhwa, manhua, or any movies plot 😠😡👿🤬😤
