Obfuscating Stupidity - Today's tropes is the Magnificent Bastard https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagnificentBastard If there was ever a villain that deserved to be called "Magnificent", that character is the Magnificent Bastard. Capturing the audience with their charisma, incredible intellect, mastery of manipulation, and boldness of action, this character is a show-stealer, demanding your reverence at every turn. Three necessary qualities: 1. They are brilliant and utterly devious, a smooth operator. 2. They have a goal, they're not going to stop until they've completed it. 3. They are charismatic, often charming, their personality is like a physical force. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

really great trope that's a bit overused but has created some of my all-time favorite characters when used correctly
One major issue I have with the trope page: It lists pretty much every villain whose been any kind of mastermind or even any kind of completely driven villain. I think what really distinguishes a Magnificent Bastard from a typical mastermind villain is that their personality is as much a weapon as anything else It's why I didn't vote John Kramer from Saw; he's a driven mastermind but he really stays out of the spotlight as much as possible, speaking to everyone with neutral temperament and hiding his face hell even Shadow the Hedgehog is listed on there as an example, that's like the opposite of this trope --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...
