What's the deal with ruining villains characters before they die? I like it when a villain retains their personality right up to the end, feels much more satisfying.

>>158722893
I've always assumed it's to make the MC/whatever character is defeating them look much more reasonable and cool in comparison. It's really dumb.

I remember a character from somewhere who raised every single death flag there was to raise and the other characters were calling him out on it and begging him to stop. He survives the bad shit.
