George R.R Martin onca said that “Nobody is a villain in their own story. We're all the heroes of our own stories”. So You would assume that villains in movies would behave like the heroes of the story they believe in. However, too often movie villains are known for talking too much, or underestimating the hero, or diving headfirst into conflicts they have no hope of winning. They just don't seem to behave like someone that truly believe they deserve justice.
