Eldritch Dumbass Energy in Season 1 of Villainous:
(Pilot) Episode 1: "The Dreadful Dawn"
No dumbassery. He's with a client, the only thing I can think of as mildly funny is how he came out of the shadow at the end as if he's riding around on a roomba. Sliding into the frame with his "I don't look like that!" default expression.
Episode 2: "Boo!-Lldozing!"
He makes an offer to a bunch of ghost kids with a short puppet show and keeps the hero puppet afterwards just so he can rip its head off.
While ordering Flug to go destroy the brute, he destroys the team transport. So he just throws in "and fix the ship." before the three scurry off.
"Who the blazes are you?" (this post was made when the official dub was not yet out, the translation used is from fan subtitles)
This whole episode is just him being extra and over the top. Here's some highlights.
He uses a metal claw to put his top hat over his bowler hat.
He unleashes a choir of ghosts at the stroke of midnight, declaring that the client arrived just in time.
He creates a wrestling ring on top of an alread existing wrestling ring and addreses the wrestler by making a huge projector so everyone can see him. Just so he can say "I'm here to enjoy the show" when challenged to a fight.
He tears off a HatBot's head when asking if the wrestler expected the honour of Black Hat crushing him himself. He pours a drink from the robot's head into a wine glass while he speaks.
He personally comes down into the wrestling ring, all sinister, just to order Demencia to take off the mask.
He brings the Narrator to be our temporary announcer and at the end uses his shadows to drag the guy into the darkness right after Narrator says "And that's why I love my job!"
At the end of the episode he transports the team, mask and himself to the middle of a desert, just so he can shapeshift and ride off into the night as El Charro Negro.
Ep. 4: "Secret Sattelites!"
His reaction when he senses Demencia gushing at him from space.
This guy watches a show aimed at young kids and a telenovela just so he can mess with the plot.
He leaves the love interest of the telenovela a black rose after fullfilling her wish of being together with both of her lovers. (image not included for the sake of squeamish folks)
He accepts Flug's short term suffering as payment due to his client not having a soul. His lack of knowledge about all the things a computer virus can do probably plays in here, so eh, 10% boredom, 20% dumbass, 70% evil
Ep. 5: "The Muscular Evilventure of MBH"
He goes to a pet store looking like that to grab his lunch.
He somehow manages to phase his claw through the tablet.
Ep. 6: "The Heedeous Heart"
A younger client presses a button without permission. He pinches the fin of his client and drags him away, keeping him in place like this for the duration of his stay in the office.
There were many, many other golden moments, but I'd say most of those were simply entertaining due to him creating evil for the sake of evil and enjoying himself by spreading misery.
With that said, OUR ELDRITCH EXTRA DRAMATIC DUMBASS EVERYONE!
Good to have him back. 🎩✨
