Villain Opening Scene: Difference between revisions

* In the North American version of ''[[Kirby Right Back At Ya]]'', the very first episode opens with an immense, evil crimson octopus Demon Beast/monster called Octacon attacking and eating a whole flock of sheep to a Cappy farmer's horror before flying back to King Dedede's castle. This scene actually switched places with the original Japanese opening scene where Kirby is flying through space asleep and eventually comes into orbit over Popstar in the dub.

** Also, the episode "Masher 2.0" begins with Knuckle Joe in a battle against a newly-rebuilt Masher 2.0. And not doing too well against it. At least he does well against its helpers, some of Nightmare's kaiju-esque monsters seen in Meta Knight's flashbacks.

* ''[[Arashi no Yoru ni]]'' begins with Giro and his pack of wolves attacking and killing Mei's mother, who tells her son to run away into a nearby forest for his own safety. Just right before she bids her son goodbye and is killed by the wolves, the mother goat attacks Giro and bites off one of his ears.

* ''[[Pokémon: The First Movie]]'' begins with Mewtwo destroying the very laboratory he was created in, killing all of the scientists inside, and immediately escaping.

* ''[[Intensity]]'' by Dean Koontz opens with a scene about the villain, from the villain's point of view.

* Ken Follett writes amazing books like ''[[The Key To Rebecca]]'' and ''[[The Eye Of The Needle]]'' where the villain starts out as the main character, with the readers' sympathies with him, and then the focus and sympathies begin to slowly shift to the hero.

* Many of [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' stories begin with such a scene:

** ''[[The Phoenix on the Sword]]'' opens with Ascalante plotting with Thoth-Amon to kill Conan and take the throne.
