Antagonistic Breakdown

Antagonist Breakdown is the opposite of Heroic Breakdown and is the extreme situation where a villain or an antagonist goes absolutely crazy. Not all antagonists are villains because they usually just mean and considered neutral characters.

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.
