Coined in the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" by Harvey Dent, A.k.a. Two-Face.
It is the philisophical summary that, no matter what good you intend to do, as long as you live and continue, you will bring about just as much evil as good, if not more through accident or intent. Death becomes a saving grace, providing vindication for their actions and preventing a worsening of certain outcomes through inactivity.

Examples include:
Falling to the same corrupton you sought to eliminate. ( Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars, Lois Griffin from Family Guy)
Prolonged exposure to evil, despite good intentions. (Frodo from Lord of the Rings, Ice King from Adventure Time)
Narrow minded destruction in belief of a greater goal. (Harvey Dent from "The Dark Knight Rises")
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Get the You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. mug.Villager mains utilize the scummy, yet surprisingly effective villager character in either Super Smash Bros. 4 or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Villager mains will juggle you until the end of time, and their friends (and anyone else playing with them) will hate their guts for never letting up with their onslaught of turnips, potted plants, and slingshots. This guy is great at ledge guarding, and won't hesitate to taunt you with the fact that you just got dunked by VILLAGER.
Player 1: yo, fuck off with the juggling! This is bullshit, how the fuck did you hit me with that!?!?
Villager main: get fricked kiddo, thats how we villager mains like to do things around these parts 👉👉

A quote from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight by the character Harvey Dent in reference to Julius Caesar and Batman. Repeated by Batman at the end of the film.
There are several possible meanings:
1. Absolute power eventually corrupts (as in the case of Julius Caesar).
2. Being consistently heroic is difficult if not impossible, circumstances will eventually push you towards villainy (as in the case of Harvey Dent and Batman).
3. Public opinion can easily change and will eventually change. Many people have the tendency find faults even when there are none. It can also be easily manipulated. You might adhere to your code despite 1. and 2., you can still be painted as a villain by your enemies (as in the case of what Joker did to Batman).
4. Villainy and Heroism are relative and not absolute. "Good" will change with time. Different people have different concepts of "good" (the actions of Julius Caesar can be judged very differently by different people throughout the different ages). In many situations, the line between the two concepts can be very blurry (following the law versus vigilantism).

Get the vibey villain mug.Noun: Group of people, normally located in towns with "Villa" in the name. Tend to be very close knit, have the ability to spend exorbatent amounts of money on alcohol, and make a party better whenever present. However, less than adequate with women. Most women find "Villa Villains" repulsive, mean, and/or self-centered. To their dismay, "Villa Villains" don't care because they usually find some skirt somewhere else anyway.
Dude, did you go to that party last night? Some Villa Villains were there and it was the best time I've ever had.
