Evil Plan: Difference between revisions

So you've got your [[Big Bad]] [[Evil Overlord]], looming over the world like a colossus. But he can't just [[Orcus on His Throne|putz around on his throne]] or [[Kingpin in His Gym|hang out in his gym]] all day long, waiting for the [[Big Damn Heroes]] to show up and kick his butt. And while [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]] doesn't seem to do much but [[We Wait|sit around and wait]] while spouting off cryptic nonsense, they've got to have some sort of [[Hidden Agenda Villain|hidden agenda]] to hide or there isn't much of a point.

Normally, these are accomplished with [[Stock Evil Overlord Tactics]]. Of course, most of the smaller-scope plans can usually be accomplished [[Mundane Solution|in a less grandiose fashion]].

 

 

{{examples}}

== Anime ==

* [[Windaria]] has {{spoiler|Lagado}} who wants to take over Lunaria and while he's not the reason Alan gets involved, he does provide the means.

* The Necromancer of the [[Whateley Universe]] has one, but it still hasn't been revealed, because he's still at the Grand Theft [[MacGuffin]] stage of the plot.

** He still had a massive plan in play just in "Ayla and the Birthday Brawl" where he found out Ayla was having a birthday party in Boston. He spun it into a plan to: break his minions out of the inescapable superjail outside Boston; find out which of his other minions was [[The Mole]]; steal yet another [[MacGuffin]]; create a hostage situation to get yet another [[MacGuffin]]; take out the SWAT teams that would get sent to that hostage situation; get Fey under [[Mind Control]] or worse; and also kill a bunch of Ayla's friends, just to send a message to someone who had pissed him off. He pulled off most of it.

 

 

== Webcomics ==

* Tons in ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]''.

** Chilus: release a swarm of mind-eating insects to bring about "the end of the world through bugs" as prophecied.

** Dr. Steve: [[Brainwashed|brainwash]] his [[Wife Husbandry|adoptive daughter]] so she can "go on a date with a lesbian and then tell all." Okay, they can't all be winners.

* Played every which way with [[Phineas and Ferb]] 's Dr. Doofenshmirtz, whose main goal is to "TAKE OVER THE tri-state area". He's not above the occasional revenge sideplot or a little mind control, but ultimately, he wants to rule. The alternate-universe Doofenshmirtz in the "Across the 2nd Dimension" movie has alt-Doof trying to take over the multiverse's... tri-state area. Some things never change.

* The villain in the first season of ''[[Wakfu]]'' looked for fuel for his [[MacGuffin]], so he can undo a past wrong. In the process, he nearly destroys an entire race, justified by "it will all be undone when I'm successful." In the end, though, it seemed that his [[MacGuffin]] isn't very 'fuel-efficient'.
