Line 1: {{trope}} A '''Fair Play Villain''' is a villain who, when the hero is at their mercy, gives the hero a [[Hope Spot]]. If the villain traps the hero in their prison, they'll allow them an escape chance. If they get the hero into their deadly arena, they promise to let them go ''if'' the hero can beat the monster. This type of villain suffers from [[Bond Villain Stupidity]] ~~-- he~~—he ''could'' just kill the hero now, but where's the sport in that? The defining characteristic of the Fair Play Villain is that this act is sincere. He's not lying or deceiving the hero, he's genuinely giving them a chance to win, and will probably (though not always) hold up his end of the bargain if they prevail. He might hope the hero fails, or bend the rules a bit, but ultimately he still gives the hero the opportunity to beat him. Line 46: == Western Animation == * In ''[[Kim Possible]]'', Senior Senior, Sr., [[Lampshade~~\|Lampshades~~]]s this. When [[Minion with an F In Evil\|Senior Senior, Jr.]], asks [[Why Don't Ya Just Shoot Him]], he explains that [[Bond Villain Stupidity\|leaving the room to allow Kim a chance to escape]] is what a "[[Noble Demon\|proper villain]]" would do. {{reflist}}
