There is a rampant tendency in films--not just those in the [[Tiradesverse]]--for villains to not immediately kill their protagonist nemeses when they have the opportunity to easily do so.  Whenever this ''does'' happen in a Tiuradesverse film, the hosts will almost always reference Scott Evil from the ''Austin Powers'' films.

There is a rampant tendency in films--not just those in the Tiradesverse--for villains to not immediately kill their protagonist nemeses when they have the opportunity to easily do so.  Whenever this does happen in a Tiradesverse film, the hosts will almost always reference Scott Evil from the Austin Powers films. Lampshading the idiotic, ill-advised smarminess of villains who don't just immediately kill their enemies when they have golden opportunities to do so, Scott Evil asks his father, Dr. Evil, why he didn't just kill Austin Powers right then and there.  Dr. Evil responds that he needs to have Powers in an easily escapable, overly elaborate death trap--a parody of James Bond villains who are notorious for giving Bond ample chance to escape whatever overly elaborate predicament in which they have ensnared him instead of just putting a bullet in his head.  Scott says he could go up to his room, get a gun and just kill him right there, but Dr. Evil simply retorts that Scott "doesn't get it."  Thus, the hosts simply say Scott Evil Has a Point.
