What is the most overly-complicated villain's plan?

[Admiral2]

I got another one. The Forrester World Conquest plan.

Three generations of supposedly smart people - Pearl, Clayton and Kinga (in the new Netflix MST3K) - decide the way to conquer the world is to find a movie so bad it will drive people insane, so they can use that movie to drive the world insane and take it over, so they take some guy they don't like and shoot him into space in the Satellite of Love where "They'll send him cheesy movies. The worst they can find. And he'll have to sit and watch them all while they monitor his mind."

Really? No armies, no superweapons, let's just find some real dumpster fire of a movie and use it as psychological warfare. MWAHHAHAHAHAH!

I've seen Evil Con Carne world conquest plans that made more sense.

I think you should just relax

In all fairness, while it is a completely insane evil plan, it's really not that complicated at all. The satellite part is unnecessarily complicated but the rest is just a simple search for the 'perfect' weapon...

The Fort Knox one has always been my favorite. "Pinky, I think I see a flaw in our plan..."

Narf!

Death in Final Destination. Any movie.

This is what turned me off to the whole franchise. A group of people is supposed to die at once, but somebody saves them and "foils death's plans," so Death spends the next two hours killing them off one by one with a bunch of overwrought Rube Goldberg devices. It's DEATH. DEATH! Death could take them all out with heart attacks at 3:55 PM EST on the fourth of July during a hailstorm even if they were scattered across the planet. Too much of a coincidence? So what? IT'S DEATH! It's not like the SVU squad is gonna bring him in for murder in the next episode.

Ahhh. I've been waiting to get that off my chest.

That serves a purpose though. Kids in industrial shops should watch those films--and those dreadful highway films they used to show in school

It's technically not SFF, but I just rewatched Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation yesterday morning for the first time since I saw it in the theater and I'm still not exactly clear on what the Syndicate's goal was.

I know. There are several Bond films I feel the same way about.

I think the thing I find the most annoying about it is how much I love the movie, other than that. According to Wikipedia the Syndicate's leader, Lane, is coming back for the next movie, so I'm hoping maybe that one will clarify things a bit more.

Whatever the hell Khan and Adm. Marcus were doing. That would have to be right up there.

I really thought I was the only one in the world who remembered that one...
