The [['''Menacing Stroll]]''' is the lithe, athletic walk of the perennial [[Badass]]. Not quite a strut, it is a subtle, confident gait that lets everyone know that the walker could kick the collective ass of everyone in the room without breaking a sweat, because they are ''just that awesome''. The [['''Menacing Stroll]]''' was first observed in the ''[[Castlevania]]'' games ([[Fan Nickname|dubbed the Pimp Walk by fans]]), but it can also be found in assassins, thieves, and the leaner species of badass. It's all in the shoulders.
 
Compare [[Unflinching Walk]], [[Power Walk]].
Line 18:
* [[Lord of the Rings|Aragorn.]]
* Used Narmfully in the already [[So Bad It's Good]] ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7gIpuIVE3k Silent Night Deadly Night 2]''
* Michael Myers of the ''[[Halloween (film)|Halloween]]'' series' highest level of speed, at least when the [[Offscreen Teleportation|camera isn't on him]]. Even when his victims are running away from him, Michael manages to keep up with them with nothing more than a [[Menacing Stroll]].
** Deconstructed by ''[[Behind the Mask]]'', where Leslie reveals that he runs full-tilt when the victim isn't looking and switches to a power walk when they are. He does a lot of cardio to make the illusion work.
* Ivan Vanko in ''[[Iron Man (film)|Iron Man]] 2'' has a moment like this in the beginning, moseying on over to Tony Stark in his Whiplash rig while racecars crash and explode behind him.
