Villain: “Why are you here?”

New Side-kick: “I am here to stop you from-!”

Villain: “-enjoying my vacation?”

New Side-kick: “??”

Villain: “It figures that the news didn’t reach you new guy. I’m off duty for a month [Side-kick].”

New Side-kick: *flushes red and apologizes for interrupting their break*

Villain: *chuckles* “Come in, I’m going through batches of cookies trying to figure out which ones I like best. You might as well make yourself useful and taste my baking.” [When the Hero asks for a mission report]

Nobody pays attention to what their doing, so they can do basically whatever they want when the main protagonist isn’t around

They always have really nice apartments

And clothes

They always do stuff that benefits to protagonist, so they automatically have a best friend

And it usually pays off for them

They do crazy ass shit and never get any bad consequences

Only good ones

They usually fall in love with the protagonist’s love interest’s best friend

Who is usually a very chill Bradley Cooper type

Because, I mean, who doesn’t want to date Bradley Cooper

He’s goddamn Bradley Cooper

Okay, I’m getting off topic

You can either be a rebel badass, or a preppy goody-two shoes that turns into a rebel badass by the end of the movie

Super hot

Is like a librarian or a monster-truck driver, no inbetween

Usually gets a happy ending, no matter what happens to the main character
