Dammit, for once I'd like to see a villain who's sane,
intelligent, and doesn't make ridiculous mistakes.  He
will *win*, for gods' sakes.  And if he did not, it's
because the hero defeated the villain in some sort of
a competition/mindgame, not because the villain made
some appallingly stupid mistake.  Like...John
Travolta's character in Swordfish or something.

After all, what's the fun in beating something so
apparently inferior than you are?  Only the fight
between equals is worth watching for.

little Alex
