In a well done speech, the Bad Guy will state things that even the hero (and audience) [[Villains Never Lie|can't argue with]]. Or maybe they're total BS, but it's delivered with such conviction it ''almost'' makes the hero (and audience) agree that he was wrong to have dared challenge the villain in the first place. |

Sometimes, "The Reason You Suck" Speech makes the point that the people the hero is trying to defend [[Humans Are the Real Monsters|aren't really worth it to begin with]]. An especially arrogant [[Big Bad]] will use "The Reason You Suck" Speech to let the hero know he's just a [[Not So Different|lesser version of the Big Bad himself]], the only difference being he's not saddled with the morals the hero is.
