  • Baddie Flattery
rdfs:comment
  • A villain who seems glad to see you, comments on your nice outfit, and how you're better at heroism lately than you used to be. They may even salute your proficiency in battle. The disturbing thing is they don't seem sarcastic about it at all. This creepy politeness is usually just a tactic to throw off the hero and show off how the villain is a looney. Terms of Endangerment are often involved. Occasionally the villain is genuinely attracted to the hero. The Lovable Traitor is prone to doing this. Examples of Baddie Flattery include:
