About: Evil Makes You Ugly   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

When evil makes you ugly, it's often to exhibit the "side effects" of obtaining untold amounts of evil power or of using that power to hurt innocent people. The external form morphs to match the internal form. Trying to hide with makeup is sometimes tried, because Make Up Is Evil. In video games, such transformations may be caused directly by less-than-honorable actions taken by PCs. The transformation may either grow or shrink in intensity the more evil one becomes. Taken to the extreme, the evil transformation that corrupts the super villain could do them in. Examples:

  • When evil makes you ugly, it's often to exhibit the "side effects" of obtaining untold amounts of evil power or of using that power to hurt innocent people. The external form morphs to match the internal form. Since evil super villains care only about obtaining power (typically at the expense of everyone else), they generally shrug it off when they suddenly age by 100 years, have limbs that they didn't have before, or can't go out in public anymore. This is because these changes usually have no negative effects other than the ugliness. A villain that has aged a hundred years, while he may be no wiser, will somehow avoid being physically hindered by the extra years. The villain with the extra limb will find neat uses for it... Trying to hide with makeup is sometimes tried, because Make Up Is Evil. In video games, such transformations may be caused directly by less-than-honorable actions taken by PCs. The transformation may either grow or shrink in intensity the more evil one becomes. Taken to the extreme, the evil transformation that corrupts the super villain could do them in. Sometimes, an attempt at this trope fails -- the character's new features improve their appearance. When Beauty Equals Goodness, this is used to mark Face Heel Turns. Compare The Corruption, Evil Costume Switch, and Evil Makes You Monstrous and What Measure Is a Non-Cute? and Contrast with The Makeover, Evil Is Sexy. See also Beauty Equals Goodness where beauty is seen as proof of being good, regardless of if its true or not Examples:
