Fallout Villains vs Elder Scrolls Villains

Fallout villains: C-can you please stop? You're-um uh danger to the wasteland... I have uh everyones best interest... Elder Scrolls villains: I'm evil nigga

A split-panel cartoon compares villains from Fallout and The Elder Scrolls. The Fallout villain is a timid, awkward rat-like character politely asking someone to stop, while the Elder Scrolls villain is a muscular golden-faced figure bluntly declaring, “I'm evil nigga.” The joke contrasts Fallout’s more sympathetic or morally complicated villains with the theatrical, unapologetically evil style associated with fantasy villains. It is used as a reaction to compare restrained villainy with exaggerated, straightforward evil. EN: A split-panel cartoon compares villains from Fallout and The Elder Scrolls.
