Line 6:
So you're [[Final Battle|finally facing the villain]]. He's being all [[Smug Snake|smug]] and [[Break Them by Talking|trying to break you]] with his words, [[Deconstruction|deconstructing]] your motives for fighting him and reminding you of how ''[[Not So Different|similar]]'' you are to him, making you uncomfortable with his [[What Is Evil?|too-close-to-truths]], offering you the opportunity to [[We Can Rule Together|join him]], etcetera etcetera... and what should your response be? [[Kirk Summation|Tell him the error of his ways,]] and [[Last Second Chance|offer him a chance to join the good guys?]] A measured, reasonable response, indicating your disagreement? [[Villain Has a Point|Let the villainous argument throw you]] and make you wonder if you and him are [[Not So Different]]?

He dangled your [[Sidekick]] and your [[Love Interest]] over a cliff, [[Evil Gloating|taunting you]] to [[Sadistic Choice|pick one of them]]. He treats everyone, [[Bad Boss|even his own underlings]], like dirt. He doesn't care about people, order, or [[Freudian Excuse|whatever he's using to justify his actions]] - he just wants power. And he [[Kick the Dog|ran over your daughter's puppy]]. You're ''nothing'' like him. He's ''wrong''. So you tell it to him, spell it out if necessary, then beat the crap out of him in a manner [[Right Makes Might|most righteous]].▼
▲You don't
This happens a lot. Heroes usually use the 'fist to face' variant of this, though a hero giving a villain a verbal beatdown is not unheard of. Often done by the more [[Combat Pragmatist|practical]] [[Anti-Hero]], who doesn't really care about philosophy, and just prefers to beat up anyone who has messed with the them or their stuff.
