World Domination



Worst. Plan. Ever.

A plan whose objective is to establish a single ruler, with their associates at their side if such associates are present, who commands and controls the planet. Many Villains who don't have any better plans strive to achieve World Domination because Evil's Gotta Evil, despite very few with this plan in mind ever actually reaching their goal. Villains who are supposed to be taken seriously won't have World Domination set as their scheme as the UnTrash is thought to be an eyeroll. Alternatively, this is many Makeshift and SMCE Villains' favorite scheme as it's a serious threat that the Hero must prevent as well as one not needing any further explanation as to why the Villain would want to achieve World Domination.

UnRec
World Domination. What an UnTrash. Our advice to you in a word: avoid. Getting audiences and reviewers to take your Villain and Bad Guys seriously with this as their scheme is quite the tall order. Some may discard a story the moment they find out that the main antagonists hope to be the successful rulers of the world, and if you hope to be a successful storyteller, this is bad. However, as is true with a few other low-tier UnTrashes, all is not lost. If you're truly determined to show World Domination can work, your first goal is to stray from the "mindless bad guy does a bad thing because it's bad" path that too many writers before you went down. The Villain should be much less self-centered and believe that the world being under their power is beneficial for all. They could be a Genius who became so conceited that they think their ideas are the only ones that matter. Or how about exploiting Chaotic Good and seeing it act in a greatly more extreme way? Chaotic Good are damn opposed to authority, so a Chaotic Good Villain (could you imagine?) would wish to eradicate all lower forms of power so that perceived corruption in the world would no longer be an issue.

''What is perhaps one of the most overplayed, vapid, and outright hated UnTrashes in history is World Domination. Much like the alignment most likely to concoct this laughable plan, World Domination is a fictional element to be phased out of storytelling as fresher and cleverer writers introduce themselves to the world. The abysmal UnStats here are just as shameful as the UnTrash they're attached to, with none outside of Range breaking out of a three-plus-score rating. The only emotions World Domination can invoke in audiences are annoyance, disgust, and, from critics, contempt. And though a smart writer can go a bit further than expected with it, the mere presence of World Domination in a story is enough to get an eyeroll out of almost any viewer or reader. Without a doubt, World Domination is a doomed F-Tier UnTrash, 1.9 as its UnStat Average.''
