While for the most part he's at least quiet about his melodrama, as Fused Zamasu he takes this trope and runs away with it. He's prone to long speeches about how awesome he is and how much the heroes suck. Zamasu from Dragon Ball Super, all three versions of him, puts the above to shame." Splendid! Now, this was a real fight! I'd totally hug you right now if that was something I did!" Dragon Ball Xenoverse, especially, has him at his hammiest, as his lines as your mentor prove. In the video games, however, he steps it up on the ham, with each new release making him even hammier. In the anime series proper, Cell was more or less a straight villain.So his progression from hammy to stoic is probably justified as just Piccolo growing up. forced into an Enemy Mine with Goku, leading to Piccolo's face turn. One timeskip later and we have an older, more mature Piccolo Jr. He was freshly hatched as the reincarnation of the even Ax Crazier Piccolo Daimaou during his villain arc. After his Heel≯ace Turn, he becomes The Stoic. is at first an Ax-Crazy Card-Carrying Villain as a bad guy, prone to maniacal laughter and long-winded monologues. Other hammy Gundam villains are Mobile Suit Gundam 00's Ali Al-Saachez, ∀ Gundam's Gym Ghingnham, and Mobile Fighter G Gundam's Master Asia, who is the biggest ham in a world full of them.(Rau spends most of the anime calm and collected, only becoming hammy towards the end when he drops all pretense of being reasonable.) Neither is particularly over the top by anime standards, but they both chew far more scenery than the rest of the cast put together. In Mobile Suit Gundam SEED and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny, the only truly hammy characters are Rau Le Creuset and Lord Djibril.A Genre Savvy Villain Protagonist will act hammy just because it's expected. Of course, when they both do, the awesomeness factor increases tenfold. That isn't to say the heroes never get to have such moments, but the villains will get the clear majority of them. Whatever the reason, bacon and scenery are important parts of every villain's daily balanced breakfast. Or this is used to indicate how Power and Evil feel Good. And maybe the moral depravity of their act is balanced by how much fun they are to watch. Maybe they've decided that since they've already punted a few puppies, called down the lightning, and donned the Spikes of Villainy, they may as well have fun with it. Maybe it's a reflection of their narcissism and total lack of inhibitions. Muwahahahahaaaa!Īs for why, it's not known for sure. It's one way they are Obviously Evil and Drunk on the Dark Side. In many conflicts between good and evil, who is going to be doing the lion's share of Chewing the Scenery? The villain(s), more likely than not. ![]()
