It's one last roll of the dice, and heroes are usually dumb enough to fall for it.

Villains also tend to be arrogant, so might believe that they are the only ones capable of dealing with it if there's an actual Greater Evil.

Or the GE might be weakened if less people know about it, so keeping it a secret is actually useful. It also reduces panic

>>55175095
Because they're dicks, and enjoy spoiling your victory. Same shit as screaming "THE CURE FOR CANCER IS-" as the guillotine falls.

>>55175095
Maybe he's just lying to make you feel bad.

>>55175095
They're Evil, of course they don't trust anyone until they're given no other choice.

It's EVEN GREATER enemies all the way down

This is why I do not watch most shounen anime

>>55175336
You mean all the way up.

>the twist is that you were the greater evil they were all fighting

>>55175393
But it turns out that you were only fighting to defeat another, equivalent evil on another axis

>>55175336
Literally DBZ

"big bad evil guy"

Uncontrollable gagging hysterics.

>>55175857
Where did this meme come from? BBEG is older than reddit.

>>55175599
Nobody in DBZ was actively fighting against the greater threat, though. A lot of them were scheming their eventual demise at some point in the nebulous future, but that was usually because it was their boss.

Ugh.

>"Well, if you were the only one able to stop it that means you can stop it, and taht means that because we defeated you we have the same powerlevel as you and therefore we can also stop that dude, so die

>>55175095

heroes are dumb and full of false righteousness. why would you try to reason with them unless you have to?

>>55177267
The best I could find is assholes who gets annoyed with the term because of "muh grey/relative morality".

>>55177267
It sounds stupid.
"Big Bad Evil Guy" sounds dumb. It being old just makes it even dumber that people bother to keep using it.

Why are protagonists fucking stupid.

Because after all the shit he already did in Outland he couldn't be bothered to send someone a letter explaining his shitty plan.

>>55178035
Look at this Big Fat Faggoty Anon and laugh.

>>55175336
If all these villains teamed up, they'd certainly be a greater evil than any of them by themselves. By Zorn's Lemma, this sequence of increasing evils has a maximal element. Therefore, you can defeat that evil and then be free.

>>55178506
Oh, that's really quite simple, my man.

The helper WAS the greater evil

Because they don't believe its possible to just ask people for help. They think they're Great Men making Hard Decisions without considering whether they had to be made in the first place. So they can't accept it when a group of 4 to 6 ragtag chucklefucks manage to do their job better with far less atrocities.
