Craftsmanship

[forsyth]

"And now is when you gloat about how simple your plan was and how no onecan stop you now?"

"What? No, it wasn't simple at all, it was horrendously difficult to arrange. I had to create entirely new technologies, subvert several governmental organizations, bribe a newspaper, and organize essentially a very large corporation, in secret. It took a hell of alot of work, that could easily be derailed, which is why you're here,and not doing that. and I'm not fool enough to leave you to escape from a shark tank. Now relax and enjoy the show.”

My head, when I saw a fanfic, I forget what, 'cause it was very forgettable, where the Big Baddie was boasting about how "simple" his plan was to "idiots" and said he created special nanobots and this and that and... And the numerous other monologues done by villains since forever. And I thought "Dude, that was NOT simple", and it ran from there.

Now that I reflect on it, I wonder if that was intentional, or not. Like I said, it was forgettable.
