Villainous Breakdown



"HELP! HE'S GONE STARK RAVING MAD!!!"

- Sir Hiss being chased by Prince John when the latter has his breakdown.

Villainous Breakdown is the opposite of Heroic Breakdown and is the extreme situation where a villain or an antagonist goes absolutely crazy.

They may often go into a fit of blind fury, although an insane laugh, yell, cry can also occur, or scary snarls and growls. Their Breakdowns can also be in form of lapses into a catatonic state as the shock of their defeat robs them of their wits.

When this happens, it does not mean that they become helpless, as there is a chance where they can become more dangerous than they previously were. How severe one’s breakdown is varies, depending on the evildoer himself/herself or how close his/her goal was to being achieved.

Sometimes, it is instead triggered once the villain's downfall occurs, the breakdown can occur prior to revelation of the outcome of his/her actions.

A Villainous Hyper-Breakdown takes this to the extreme.

Notable forms of villainous breakdowns includes :


 * Screaming out loud, commonly in form of either the Big "NO!" or the "This Cannot Be!".
 * Desperately attempted to fix the whole matter in their own hands through more aggressive methods. Villains whose breakdown takes this form would obviously struggle to retain their composures, but their minions or heroes could see that their attempt is more serious and aggressive than it normally would be.
 * Either crying or throwing a tantrums.
 * Panicking.
 * Angrily goes to attack everyone in his/her vicinity, even goes too far to the point where they would endangered both sides.

NOTE: Never add any fanon/fanfiction examples anymore nor shorten the details of the breakdowns. This would lead to confusion to the readers.

Star Wars

 * Prelate Verge: Suffers one after Chalis messes his ship.
 * Denetrius Vidian: He loses his cool almost any time Baron Danthe reports demands for unrealistic production increases. He has another when Captain Sloane tries to have him arrested for his treason against the Emperor.
 * Belkor Dray: He loses it when his and Cham's plans start coming undone in the end, going from crying to giggling to having a conversation with the corpse of the pilot he shot.

Harry Potter

 * Lord Voldemort: In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, after hearing a goblin reporting him about Harry breaking into Gringotts and stole Helga Hufflepuff's Cup, which is one of the Horcruxes, Voldemort was absolutely angry and killed that goblin immediately. After that, it was some other unfortunate goblins, bank guards and Death Eaters turn. Voldemort mercilessly killed many of them with the Death Curse.
 * In the film adaptations, Voldemort went too far expressing this breakdown by slapping Lucius out of his logical reasoning about their situation, blasting Pius with a Killing Curse, and even had a brief physical fight against the revealed still-living Harry instead of both of them simply exchanges their trademark spells.
 * Dolores Umbridge: She expresses her breakdown further by restraining one of the angry centaurs that surrounds her and stated that she will have order on Hogwarts' grounds and beyond before being dragged away by them.
 * Unnamed Mountain Troll: Furiously makes an attempt to try to attack Harry Potter due to the latter shoving his wand in one of his nostrils. During the breakdown, he is naturally oblivious to other threats (namely Hermione and Ron near him) when Ron successfully knocks the troll out flat by taking his club away with a levitation spell and having it smack him in the head.

A Song of Ice and Fire

 * Gregor Clegane: As he fights Oberyn Martell, Gregor Clegane gets progressively more enraged. A combination of his exceptionally dim wits and the realization that he is being publicly accused of his crimes in front of the entire court leads to him screaming at Oberyn again and again. Finally, he MURDEROUSLY breaks down by yelling his early crime of savagely killing Elia Martell's whole family, before crushing Oberyn's head in sheer brute force. Even killing Oberyn doesn't help, because the spear that Oberyn wounded him with during the fight is coated in poison, leaving Clegane to die, slowly and painfully, and letting him screaming in agony and pain over the course of days.
 * Lysa Arryn: She sees her childhood crush forcibly kissing Sansa Stark, who is her niece, Lady Arryn goes completely insane, trying to throw poor Sansa (who did not instigate the kiss) out of the Moon Door. Her breakdown is cut short when she is thrown out said Door herself.

The Hunger Games

 * Cato: In the first novel, when Katniss destroys a stockpile of food and supplies belonging to the "Career" tributes that had given them a nigh-unbeatable edge, their leader, Cato, has a thrashing, screaming meltdown — Katniss, who manages to hide in the bushes just before he makes it back, marvels in a frightened way that people really can snap like that — and finally kills the engineer he'd had working for him, which obviously doesn't help his odds.

Divergent

 * Jeanine Matthews: In the first novel, Jeanine panics after her plans have failed & she furiously attacks Tris, only for the latter to hit her in the head, all this after Tris made Jeanine have a taste of her own medicine to undo her plans to commit genocide on Abnegation using Dauntless.

The Count of Monte Cristo

 * Fernand Mondego: He was angry when his son quit to duel the Count of Monte Cristo / Edmond Dantès and challenged Edmond Dantès to reveal himself. However, when the Count of Monte Cristo revealed himself to be Dantès, all of Fernand's rage had soon turned into sheer fear, and so horrified he was that he stumbled to his house, only to find out that his wife and son had abandoned him. Then, Fernand cried in despair and committed suicide.
 * Gérard de Villefort: Villefort's breakdown, or breakdowns, had several steps, one by one, and more and more intense.
 * First, when he knew about his second wife, Madame Héloïse de Villefort, had committed the serial poisoning of his first in-laws (the Marquis and Marquise de Saint-Méran, parents of his first wife, Renée de Villefort, née de Saint-Méran), servant and daughter, Valentine (he and Renée's child), Villefort can hardly hold composure. He coldly and outright declared himself as a judge in front of his second wife, and he harshly declared that she will be on court, ultimately driven her to suicide.
 * On the court against the murderer, Benedetto, Villefort was shocked to know the date of birth of the criminal which lead him to remember his affair with Baroness de Danglars which cause a child to born, exactly the same day and same place Benedetto was born. Villefort's composure was shaken once again when Benedetto revealed that he is the illegitimate child of Villefort, and he could hardly control himself from confessing his sins to everyone in Paris.
 * After returning home, scared and paranoid, Villefort only found that his wife dead with their son Édouard (he and Héloïse's child). He found his wife's last letter, which revealed that she was just a well-intentioned extremist who did everything for her son and had to kill him since she had choice no longer. This event even shocked Edmund Dantès, who had just revealed his true self to Villefort, yet never meant to harm his son. At last, all of those events above, and finally - Edmund Dantès's revelation, had crushed Villefort's mental state, turning him into a complete madman.
 * Héloïse de Villefort: She committed suicide and killed her son right after her husband accused her.

 * Count Dooku: Dooku briefly yet silently loses his composure right before Anakin chops off Dooku's head when the fallen Jedi realizes that his master Darth Sidious wants him dead. His Angry Birds incarnation does not suffer a breakdown, however. This also foreshadows how Anakin will lose his mind to the Dark Side.
 * Emperor Palpatine: When he seemingly lost to in a lightsaber combat, Darth Sidious replied to Mace Windu "No! No! NOOO!.......YOU WILL DIE!" and released a torrent of Force lightning at him, but the Master of the Order uses his ligntsaber to deflect the Hidden Sith Master's attack and redirect Sidious' lightning back to his face. Then in a fit of rage he called Mace in front of his newly-arrived future apprentice Anakin Skywalker a traitor. In addition he becomes enraged at  after he refuses with resolve to turn to the dark side by killing his apprentice Darth Vader after he defeated him in a lightsaber combat. Then he unleashes torrents of Force lightnings at him which unknowingly turns Vader back to the light side and make him turn on him, and he directed his torrents of Force lightnings at him before being thrown to the core of Death Star II to his death.
 * Darth Vader: Darth Vader suffers this after his rehabilitation that led him to become the infamous black-clad cyborg Sith that we recognize today, when he learned that his own fear ended up making his wife Padme's determination to live after giving birth to their children gone and dying during the childbirth. He shouts in agony, thus fell to the dark side further. Also, earlier during his duel against at Mustafar, Anakin is defeated and (without warning) screams "I HATE YOU!!!!!" at his former master. This can be considered a hyper-breakdown since by this point, Anakin's love for his former master was completely destroyed by his transformation.
 * Mas Amedda: Undergoes one post-Endor, as serving as the Emperor's top lackey and running the Empire for him was all he lived for. Amedda never once considered his boss could be killed, leaving him at a total loss at what to do without him and any authority on an ISB-run Coruscant. Sloane offering him the chance to have his old job as Grand Vizer once she secures her hold on the Empire pulls Amedda out of his breakdown.
 * Kylo Ren: Kylo Ren had a serious issue on this because he would furiously use his lightsaber to butcher everything around him everytime he suffer this, even scaring his stormtroopers when he calls for them. However, there are instance where his breakdowns are at their worst:
 * Upon denounced by Snoke as a failure and droven back to his duty, Ren angrily slammed his mask on the elevator into pieces, before quickly regaining his composure as soon as the elevator door opens. By this point, he realized that his master might only use him for his own ends and must rebuild the galaxy with his own way.
 * Lashing out on Luke in their final confrontation for his past mistakes, only to be dismayed that the legendary Jedi was not directly fighting him. (Luke was in fact projecting his consciousness toward Ren, creating a hologram, in a sense.)
 * Snoke: As Snoke unveiled his true, darker personality when chiding Ren in The Last Jedi, it became apparent that he suffered this, barely able to contain his rage following his underlings' loss against The Resistance and Rey and co., so much that when goading Ren, he had unknowingly (or rather, foolishly) created a monster that surpassed him in Ren before it's too late.

 * Howard Payne: When he finds that the money bag contains a dye bomb towards the climax, he goes berserk and empties his entire weapon into the train roof, and then proceeds to fight with Jack Traven on top of the vehicle, which hilariously ends with him being beheaded while trying to boast that he is 'smarter' than the cop.

Transformers

 * Harold Attinger: Attinger completely loses himself when his right hand Savoy fell off the building after pursuing Cade (which is worsened by the fact that his pawn, Joshua Joyce, turned against him by the time Galvatron permanently broke free from KSI's control). He then personally confronts Cade while the latter aids Optimus fight Lockdown by pointing a gun on him. Attinger then claims that there is no such thing as good or bad aliens & it's just the humans or the aliens. Right before he had a chance to kill Cade (as declaration for him as traitor of his own race), he was shot by the Autobot leader in the chest, thus avenging the deaths of Autobots (& presumingly humans) that he had killed on his genocide, also making him a true Decepticon.
 * Lockdown: After Autobots hijacked one of his smaller ships that later revealed contained Dinobots, he began to suffer this. He expresses the said breakdown by using the giant magnet on Autobots and Dinobots, until Optimus blasted the magnet several times until it was heavily damaged.
 * James Savoy: Ultimately snapped by Cade's choice to save Autobots (specifically Optimus Prime), he reveals his knife, giving warning that he will attempt to kill him in blind fury (presumed to be in similar manner with Shen's own attempt to kill Po during his breakdown). Cade however, prevent this from happening by pushing him to fall to his death, avenging death of Cybertronians (and presumably humans) that he killed also making him a true Decepticon.
 * Starscream: Perhaps the most painful and hilarious breakdown uttered by Starscream, as when he gleefully tries to kill Sam, turned into a painful and humiliating scenario when Sam retaliates with fired a grappling hook on one of his eyes, resulting Starscream screaming in agony and rage. Things became worse (or rather became more awkward, if not comical) when Lennox and his men interfere where Sam, still stuck with his hook, swung ankwardly due to Starscream's own angry tantrum like a madman. His breakdown eventually stopped when Sam ultimately impaled a bomb on his remaining optics, which explodes and tears his head into pieces while humans around him managed to move safety.

By the end of the movie, everything has gone catastrophically wrong and he's been forced to flee, and when the police finally catch up with him he's reduced to a hysterical, shrieking wreck of a man writhing about on the bed of a motel room as the cops try and restrain him.

Avatar: The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra

 * Azula: Began to losing her sanity started from her inability to cope with her friends (namely Mai and Ty Lee)' decision to let Zuko away out of Mai's love with him along Ty Lee's agreement with that. This worsen by the fact where her father Ozai thought that she should be in charge as the King of Fire Nation instead of go with him in their crusade once Sozin Comet passed the earth but doubts that the said position suit for her. In the end, her fractured sanity eventually made her incarcerated in mental institute.
 * This breakdown was already predicted by Iroh and Zuko when they reunited, whom believe that her breakdown can give him advantages. But this horribly backfires as she was turned out more dangerous when her sanity slipped away where she attempted to kill Katara whom observing the fight, forcing him to save the waterbender with the ill-advised action (using his body as a shield instead redirect the lightning blast like what Iroh taught him previously). This ultimately led Katara, whom originally told to watch the whole fight to interfere and incapacitate Azula herself instead. With her defeat, she completely suffered a mental breakdown. This was caused by her insecurity on the thought of her mother loving Zuko more than her.
 * Zuko's harsh life mostly became the reasons why the fire prince suffers his own breakdowns, in which he releases this during the thunderstorm where his original motivation was tries to learn lightning redirection. His exile at hands of Ozai greatly disturbed him, though when he chooses to redeem himself, he finally regained his lost composures.

 * In the second-season finale, after Agent Melinda May tricks him into killing his current girlfriend, Agent Kara Lynn Palamas (aka "Agent 33"), he has one of the calmer examples of a villainous breakdown, as he gets worked up into a brief frenzy of grief before quickly calming down again. When seen later, he is in a bar, holding a picture of Kara as he gets ready to rebuild H.Y.D.R.A., vowing revenge on Coulson, May, Daisy, Leopold Fitz, Jemma Simmons, Lance Hunter, and Bobbi Morse, all while disguising it as him getting "closure" with them.
 * In "Closure," the ninth episode of the third season, Ward nears a breakdown when he discovers that Coulson, Hunter, and Bobbi have abducted his long-lost brother, Thomas. However, upon getting the chance to speak with him on the phone, he is verbally rejected by his brother, who renounces him for killing their parents (despite their abusive nature) and their older brother, Christian. This, combined with him finding out that Thomas had only spoken with him to give Bobbi time to trace his call, results in him going into a full-on breakdown. He begins torturing Simmons (whom he has kidnapped along with Fitz) even harder than before. The breakdown continues all the way up to his death at Coulson's hands in the following episode, "Maveth."
 * The formerly-robotic, now-human Aida has a villainous breakdown in the penultimate episode of the fourth season when Fitz breaks the news to her that, in spite of her machinations to make him fall in love with her as he had done in the Framework, his heart lies and remains with Simmons in the real world. This causes Aida to immediately erupt into an insane rage that leads her into killing several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and, in the season finale, vowing to Fitz that she will kill everyone he values, starting with Simmons (whom she believes that she does kill, only to learn that it was a Life Model Decoy of her). She is finally put down by Coulson when he temporarily dons the Ghost Rider spirit and uses its hellfire to burn her now-human body to a crisp.
 * Kree supervillain Kasius has his villainous breakdown in the ninth episode of the fifth season, "Best Laid Plans," when he is outplayed by Mack, Yo-Yo, and their friends, Tess and Flint, and learns that they have distracted him long enough to free all of the Lighthouse humans from his tyrannical control. The breakdown worsens slightly when they manage to temporarily escape from him. It continues to worsen in the midseason finale, "Past Life," when he learns of the death of his right-hand woman, Sinara, and he kills a Kree doctor who outright informs him that there is no way to revive her the way that they had done to humans. It reaches its peak when he ingests a bottle of odium, a drug that strengthens, and then kills, Kree who take it, and uses it to fight and nearly kill Mack. He is stopped when Simmons slips a slug into his ear that blocks his hearing (something that he had previously done to her), and the temporary distraction gives Mack the opportunity to kill Kasius by impaling him through the back with his shotgun axe.
