It's not enough to be petty, black-hearted and mean.
You've got to have gravitas, you've got to have style.
There's something about a villain who knows that their whole deal is probably futile, but they're going to continue anyway because that's who they are and what they do.
You don't just give up,
And when you're done? When you're tool old and too tired and too ruined by your own devices to keep continue on? You pass on that vitriol and that hatred down to the next generation of madmen and lunatics who think that they can fight the whole world and win.
Because maybe that encouragement will let them succeed where you failed.
