abstract
  • A villain of the series who is nominally an authority figure (especially one known for self-righteous priggishness), or a minion of said authority figure, captures the heroes, usually in some criminal (or at least 'anti-social') act, can't let it go without declaring 'You filth!' or some similar self-righteous epithet. Used to underscore the opinion of the law and most ordinary citizens that the heroes are Always Chaotic Evil even though the audience knows that they are really heroes. A similar sort of remark is almost always made by an underling if the Big Bad has to make a deal with some underhanded or socially outcast allies; for example, the line 'Bounty hunters. We don't need that scum!' in The Empire Strikes Back. If one of the heroes of the series says something like this under those circumstances, it's usually a setup for an An Aesop about tolerance.
