Take Over the World: Difference between revisions

 

{{quote|'''Pinky:''' Gee, Brain, what you wanna do tonight?

 

What's the goal most every villain has in mind? Why of course, it's World Domination[[Tradesnark™|®]]! [[Ambition Is Evil|Ambitious]], [[Pragmatic Villainy|more logical]] and sometimes [[Easily-Conquered World|easier]] than [[The End of the World as We Know It|destroying the world]], as [[Evil Plan]]s go. They want to be in charge of everything and everyone. This could be just to [[Pride|feed their massive egos,]] or else they've got somewhat [[Dark Messiah|twisted ideals]] that they want everyone else to adhere to. Either way, it puts them in direct conflict with the heroes, whether professional or "[[Heroic Neutral|I just want everything to go back to normal]]" types. Usually said villain [[And Your Little Dog, Too|fixates on the hero or someone/thing close to them]] as being part of their master plan. See [[Evil Plan]]. For a villain who has finally acquired [[A God Am I|godlike power]], and did not [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]], then this is the next logical goal and use for said power. If it involves destroying the world to rule it, it's because [[Utopia Justifies the Means]]. Or [[Despotism Justifies the Means|they are just dicks]].

* ''[[Danny Phantom]]'' [[Big Bad]] Vlad only hinted that he had potential desires for the world as his current evil plans focused more on personal vendettas, but then Season Three came where it's revealed he wants it. Only one has ever succeeded in dominating the planet: [[Ax Crazy|Dark Danny]] in an [[Bad Future|alternate future]], though arguably that can be a case of [[The End of the World as We Know It|destroying the planet]]. Pariah Dark gets special mention as well, since he took over the Ghost Zone (and Amity Park) before he was turned into [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] again.

* ''[[Invader Zim]]'': This is Zim's goal right from the start, along with [[Destroy All Humans!|destroying all humans.]]

** The primary villain of the series, Megabyte, tries repeatedly to take over Mainframe, but never succeeds (though he does come close.)

** [[The Bad Guy Wins|Actually Megabyte does succeed.]] It's just that by the time he does take over the city is in ruins and [[Victory Is Boring|there is nothing left]] [[Pyrrhic Victory|for him to rule.]]
