Why is this the worst damn trope to ever exist in history?

Its stupid but it shows him to be a really bad guy who doesn't give a shit about his own people.

I hope he tries to bang his mom next.

Establish dominance and power to instill fear into thr antagonist's other men so they do not question him.

I don't mind it. It shows that the villain is ruthless, and everyone around him better damn well listen up or else end up like that guy.

It's wasteful, sure, but it's fun.

Now, what really gets my goat is when the female character in the film is solely there for a love interest, and never does anything to serve the plot. Either that, or when she IS serving the plot and gets a shoehorned kiss in at the end for no good fucking reason.

I find the important female getting a romance is worse. If it's a shoehorned character then it's like, well... ok, that's shitty but they fulfilled their purpose. But a good character getting together with one of the male characters just because there has to be a romance is cheapening and can make them less interesting.
