Being a villain has its perks. In fact, it's too cool for good posture. This sort of villain will forego the egg-chairs and thrones in favor of more comfortable and casual lounge chairs, draping themselves over them in a Slouch of Villainy. If it's The Starscream doing it, expect them to slouch in their former boss's throne as a way of posthumously insulting them. This is usually done to show how blasé and badass a character is; they're so bored and nonchalant that they aren't bothering with conventional posture and look cool in the process. This has the down side of making them less able to react if someone attacks, but that's not a problem if they have the right abilities. Don't provoke them. There's a fine line between a slouching badass and a bored tyrant. Villains are inordinately fond of doing this in chairs that aren't theirs as well. Villains will surprise you by draping themselves on The Hero's chair, with an ambush, an Enemy Mine offer or An Offer You Can't Refuse, or to prove how badass they are prior to joining up more permanently. If there's an armrest on the chair, especially if it's a royal throne, odds are good that the character will adopt the Sitting Lion Beast pose and rest one elbow on it, with the hand tucked neatly under his chin, while sporting either a self-satisfied smirk or a glance of disdain. As mentioned with The Starscream point, this is a subtle way of insulting the person whose seat it belongs to. It's extra cool if they're drinking A Glass of Chianti. Subtrope to Characterizing Sitting Pose; also compare with Leaning on the Furniture and Thinker Pose. Related to Rebel Relaxation and is often a case of Orcus on His Throne. A neutral (non-villain) variant is Reclining Reigner. Contrast Kingpin in His Gym, when the villain prefers to do something a bit more active than lounge around on furniture. Do not confuse with People Sit on Chairs, which is Not a Trope. |

Subverted in that he's not even close to being a Magnificent Bastard. In fact, he's quite incompetent at running things. This post is an exile, which he hates. | |

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End: Serie is frequently shown to slouch on her throne, which in the first intro is combined with her Face Framed in Shadow and sporting a sinister grin to present her in an antagonistic light. While not actually evil, she is a massive Jerkass whose philosophy revolves around Might Makes Right and has deemed most of her disciples as failures. This puts her at odds with her first disciple Flamme and in turn her own disciple Frieren, whose philosophy is more down-to-earth and humble. Not to mention she does act in an antagonistic capacity towards the end of the first season all out of her disdain for Frieren, leading her to personally intervene in the First Class Mage exam by adding a third part (i.e., an interview) meant to disqualify Frieren and banning her from all Continental Mage Association facilities for a millennium. | |

The rare occasions we see him sitting down, Grimmjow is usually slouching or otherwise very casual. Yhwach is introduced sitting like this, while casually blowing up some of his subordinates. |

RWBY: When Hazel and Adam meet to discuss the future of Haven Academy, Hazel expects a negotiation but Adam instead achieves their goal by murdering their opposition. Hazel and Salem believe that people should only be killed if absolutely necessary, preferring to make use of them first. When Hazel angrily confronts Adam about unnecessary killing, Adam simply sits down, slumping casually against the right arm of the chair, announcing with a smirk that he disagrees. As one of the heroes, General Ironwood typically sits in a very straight-backed, business-like posture. After his slide into villainy in Volume 8, he slouches in his chair and steeples his fingers as he plans his next move for obtaining the Winter Maiden. The slouch lowers him in the chair so much that a sunburst pattern over the top of the doors behind him appear to be crowning his head like an evil emperor. The scene sets up just how evil his plan is later revealed to be, and kicks off his mini-arc as the protagonists' primary opponent. |

Megatron from Transformers: Generation 1 usually gets his slouch on◊ while commanding his warship when it isn't at the bottom of the ocean. He even does it at the Lincoln memorial after removing the statue, a moment adapted for the third live action film. His Predacon successor has been known to occasionally take it to the next level by giving orders while relaxing in a hot tub. |

Final Fantasy XI: Archduke Kam'lanaut is introduced this way. The Shadowlord was seen slouching on his throne looking bored in one of the trailers for the Wings of the Goddess expansion. Apparently he knew that it would take over three years to complete the expansion and that he would have a minimal role in it. |

The Duc of Genua from the Discworld novel Witches Abroad does this, not because it makes him look cool and detached, but because he's never gotten the hang of chairs, being a frog turned into a human by fairy godmother magic. Elves do it automatically, too, as part of their "far too cool to be human" glamour. Their perpetual lounging also intensifies their cat motif (being entrancing, pointy-eared, needlessly sadistic killers). As do vampires - Maladict is described as 'able to lounge on a wire'. When Polly discovers Vimes having a surreptitious smoke away from some obnoxious bureaucrats, the pose he's described as being in has elements of this (for a start, he's lying on the floor behind a bench), but subversionally, Vimes isn't a bad guy, nor does it suggest to Polly that he is; the bad posture just reinforces her assumption that he's a "scruffy sergeant" who is providentially between her and his monstrous boss "Vimes the Butcher". Guild of Assassins prohibits their students from assuming upright posture. Apparently, Vetinari was quite good at this. |

In the Season 3 finale of Metalocalypse, band CFO/lawyer/manager Offdensen slouches rather magnificently in his command chair several times. It's unknown at this point if he is a force for good or evil, or even what those terms mean in relation to Dethklok's well-being, but the man is at least personally responsible for hundreds of deaths and instances of torture thus far. | |

Prince John in Robin Hood (1973) is seen slouching when seated in the royal box at the archery tournament. Unlike other examples of this trope, it just makes him look like the seat is too big for him, combined with the ill-fitted crown and robe, all of which belongs to his more robust brother, King Richard. | |

In Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Maul specializes in this. Once he takes over Mandalore by proxy of wresting control of Death Watch, he will often disrespectfully lounge on the throne while he orders his puppet ruler Almec around. In the Grand Finale, he does it again when he confronts Ahsoka, Bo-Katan and Rex, but this time it’s to show that even all the power he has amassed for himself means nothing to him, since his new priority is killing Anakin Skywalker and stopping the forthcoming nightmare that Darth Sidious is about to unfold for the galaxy. | |

In Skyrim, all the jarls except for Elisif slouch on their thrones. How villainous it is varies with the Jarl and which side you take in the civil war, and whether they slouch depends on the throne; there are thrones programmed with a slouch animation, and an upright throne in Solitude. Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak◊, leader of the Stormcloak Rebellion can be found on his throne in Windhelm (and your main enemy if you're an Imperial Legionnaire) usually is the only Jarl who can strike a person as "bad" (although of course, it all depends on your view of him and what side you take.) |

The page quote refers to Darkseid sitting on Mary Marvel's couch while trying to seduce her to his side. Darkseid seems to generally enjoy trying out his best slouches of villainy in other people's couches when he wants to speak with them in private, and many people have had the unpleasant surprise of getting home to find the Lord of Apokolips chilling on their couch with something to say. Also from New Gods, there's Metron, who is always shown in his "Mobius Chair", a kind of flying throne/computer. Metron isn't truly an example despite literally never leaving his chair, because he's not a villain (though he's not exactly on the side of the Good Guys either; he's kind of the Switzerland of the New Gods), nor does he slouch in it. |

Odd example in Red Dwarf. The Inquisitor, a robotic judge, is trying the crew individually for the right to exist and Rimmer is first. He gets into this pose, swinging his feet up and everything, then lifts his mask to reveal... Rimmer, because "it's the only fair way". The 'villainy' part probably came from Rimmer, because he's like that. | |

In Resident Evil 4, Leon can perform a heroic inversion in Saddler's throne by standing in front of it and using the (?) command. Considering what was between him and the throne room, the guy deserves a good slouch. It amusingly also serves a somewhat practical purpose: once he gets up, the camera points to the entrance of the room, drawing the player's attention to the treasure hidden above the door. | |

Genesis in Suicide Club uses this posture to introduce himself. Complete with over-the-top leg-crossing, first on one side, then deciding on the other. In an unsturdy wooden chair that he needs to fix first. That can't be comfortable. | |

In The Promised Neverland, Dozza is the only one of the five Demon Lords who, when arriving in the Queen's throne room, sits down on the floor, cross-legged and hunched over. That being said, the other Demon Lords stand up straight and call him out on it, suggesting they dislike him for being a slob. When Geelan invades the throne room and starts attacking the nobles, he turns out to be the wisest and the strongest of the Demon Lords—not that it means much after Geelan curb-stomps them all. | |

When you actually do fight her one on one, she lifts up the head of a statue of Artemis, attacking while still relaxing on it!

The Tragedy of Macbeth: In the earlier parts of the film, when Macbeth is a hero, he affects the erect posture of a military man. Towards the end when he has become both a brutal tyrant and a murderer, he is slouching lazily on his throne. (He does this both in the scene where the messenger comes to report the approaching army, and later when Siward comes into the throne room to attack him.) | |

Stargate SG-1: In an early episode, "Emancipation", Turghan does this when Abu comes to sell Carter And again in the Season 3 episode, "Need," Daniel sits draped over a throne when Jack comes to speak to him. Given that Jack is being worked literally to death in naquadah mines and Daniel is so hopped up on evil sarcophagus energy that he's oblivious to it, it's an effectively villainous slouch. Apophis indulges in this Trope at every opportunity. When he acquires possession of Cronus's Ha'tak in "Enemies", he positively pours himself into the command chair. |

In Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria, where Odin (quite the Magnificent Bastard) calmly talks about destroying a whole kingdom as bait to get the main character to show up, capture her, and then use her as bait to capture the lord of the undead while in this pose. Interestingly, it's working- albeit not quite as he expected- but the plan goes to hell as soon he gets out of the chair. This is Fridge Brilliance if you know Norse mythology- Odin's throne allows him to observe the entire world, giving him some degree of omniscience. Slouching in it is actually a huge strategic advantage. | |

Star Trek In Star Trek: Insurrection, Big Bad Ru'afo practices his Slouch Of Villainy... from the depths of a plush red sofa. It doesn't really work. (In most stills, he looks like he's sitting primly on it. Maybe if he'd gone full Roman Emperor recline...) In the Star Trek (2009) reboot, Kirk gets a brief Slouch Of Uppity, doing his trademark lounge in the Captain's Chair before Spock reminds him that that's not his chair. Nero does it before he finds out what year he's in and promptly goes berserk. |

Gundam: Haman Karn from Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ is often depicted in The Merch as slouching on a throne. Also spoofed (possibly crossed with Leaning on the Furniture) in the original SD Gundam shorts (not to be confused with SD Gundam Force): In one short, involving hotels, Char attacks Amuro, Kamille, and Judau to try and steal their customers. Amuro tells him maybe he'd be able to get customers if he wasn't so aloof all the time. Char angrily snaps his fingers, at which point two of his cronies turn a table onto its side so he can lean on it and remark "But if you take out the aloofness, what's left of me?" The table then breaks. Ribbons Almark of Gundam 00 usually sits somewhat more upright, but otherwise makes himself rather comfortable on his Legendary Couch Of Evil — which he seems to have stolen from Aizen. He's also fond of hugging his knee. Perhaps the greatest Gundam example of all: Prime Minister Wong from Mobile Fighter G Gundam. The sprawls he executes in his flying pimp throne are magnificent. Decil in episode 9 of Gundam AGE. As you can see here,◊ he does this out of boredom from seeing Flit struggle against one of his Zedas. |

Lestat from The Vampire Chronicles actively prides himself on his slouch, as in this passage from Memnoch the Devil: "David saw me at once—a slouching, blond, long-haired youth, bronze face and hands, the usual deep violet sunglasses over my eyes, hair presentably combed for once, body tricked out in a dark-blue, double-breasted Brooks Brothers suit." | |

Thanos is prone to this, often using a space-going throne to sit upon, musing. Also during The Infinity Gauntlet saga, Thanos set up a big shrine to Death in space, one that came equipped with thrones to sit on while he contemplated how to win Death's affection. | |

Star Trek: The Original Series When Captain Pike is given a Lotus-Eater Machine fantasy where he's a decadent Orion trader in Green Skinned Space Babes, he and his guests are shown reclining appropriately. In the Mirror Universe episode, the normally uptight and well-disciplined Starfleet Redshirts are seen leaning against the turbolift doorway to give them a more thuggish air. |

Ultron from The Avengers has done this in at least two covers◊ despite the fact that he's a robot and technically doesn't need to sit. Perhaps inheriting it from his "father" The Vision is NEVER shown sitting with proper posture, and in fact is shown slouching in a chair in the very first issue he shows up in. One issue has him spending a relaxing day with his then-wife Scarlet Witch watching television and he's STILL slouching in the chair! Speaking of Avengers villains, Kang the Conqueror can pull off a slouch, such as in The Kang Dynasty, when he's just levelled the UN building and shows up to make demands. On a floating bean-bag. And it's more intimidating than it has any right to be. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Jaime Lannister sprawls onto the Iron Throne moments after killing King Aerys. In doing so, he causes the honorable Ned Stark to conclude that he's a villain. It turns out he's just exhausted from all the fighting and wasn't really thinking about the symbolism when he sat down. Taking after Jaime, Joffrey Baratheon has a tendency to slouch boredly in his throne, though doing so is dangerous while not wearing armor because the throne is made of blades (which is the whole point, as you shouldn't be comfortable as a king). | |

Doctor Doom and Dormammu have this as their intro in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Doom also uses it in his Level 3 Hyper Combo, where he traps the opponent in an electric chamber. Then a Cool Chair comes up from below Doom, causing him to take this position and simply watch as they get tortured. Then, as if he gets bored with the show quickly, he lazily presses a button on his armrest that blows the chamber up. In Ultimate, Daredevil does this in the Shadowland stage. Since he was evil and the leader of The Hand at the time due to a case of Demonic Possession. Doom again in one of his win poses in Marvel Super Heroes and Marvel vs. Capcom 2. |

Final Fantasy: Hades in Final Fantasy IX fights this way. Chaos in Dissidia Final Fantasy. He has two variants of this, each playing with the fact that he has two sets of arms. One is a variant on the classic "hand supporting head, arm hanging over his knee" posture, which has the other two hanging off the armrests of his throne; the other has him leaning forward, folding two hands in front of him and having the other two occupy the armrests properly. The game even works the Slouch of Villainy into his ultimate attack! Chaos grows to enormous size, attacks the player with a BFS, and then makes the arena explode. And when the explosions die down, Chaos has reappeared back on his throne in his slouch of villainy while the player character drops down in front of him. Final Fantasy II's Emperor Mateus is practically channelling David Bowie. He even does a slouch of villainy in mid-air after battle. This◊ Yoshitaka Amano concept art for Final Fantasy V depicts the Big Bad Exdeath like this, complete with A Glass of Chianti. In Dirge of Cerberus, Big Bad Weiss does this. Final Fantasy XI: Archduke Kam'lanaut is introduced this way. The Shadowlord was seen slouching on his throne looking bored in one of the trailers for the Wings of the Goddess expansion. Apparently he knew that it would take over three years to complete the expansion and that he would have a minimal role in it. Zenos yae Galvus from Final Fantasy XIV loves this trope. The first time he's properly seen has him sit down on his throne in the classic head-resting-on-hand pose (in full Legatus plate, too!), and any subsequent time he's seen sitting on anything he always uses that pose, always with a bored look in his eyes and absent smirk. This doesn't end even after he reprises his role as the main villain of Endwalker, as the trailer shows him doing his villainous slouch pose while seeing the Empire's capital burn down in front of him. It really hammers home that he takes no pleasure in anything that isn't fighting a Worthy Opponent. |

In Game of Thrones, King Joffrey Baratheon slouches on the Iron Throne after he becomes king. Like many other things he does, this only makes him look Stupid Evil rather than villainous. Note that in the books, the Iron Throne was designed in such a way that it was impossible to slouch while sitting on it without having old rusty blades stuck in your ribs; Joffrey managed to do so somehow. In the commentaries, it was explained that the actor makes this position because the Iron Throne is VERY uncomfortable, and with all the time he spends on it, he found a way to sit in a way that made it more manageable. | |

The Beginning After the End: Kezess Indrath, the Top God of the setting and Sylvie's grandfather, is introduced slouching on his throne when Arthur and Sylvie are brought before him. His ensuing interaction with Arthur reveals him to be a massive Jerkass towards lessers like him, although he does treat Sylvie with care given her blood ties to him. Ultimately, Kezess turns out to be a far worse individual than what his first impression suggests, as Arthur learns that he is a genocidal tyrant no better than Agrona whose past actions were what led to the Divine Conflict in the first place. | |

Promare: Lio is introduced clad in his armor and slouching on a throne he created as he looks down at Galo and his squadmates amidst the chaos he and his subordinates have caused. While he is initially an antagonistic force considering he is the leader of Mad Burnish, he ultimately becomes the Anti-Hero Deuteragonist as he and Galo team up against their common enemy, Kray Foresight. | |

Dracula does this a lot in the Castlevania series. Amusingly enough, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow player character Soma (who's the reincarnation of Dracula), can plop down on a number of flat surfaces in this position at the player's command. He also sits like this when he fully becomes Dracula in the bad ending of Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow or Dawn of Sorrow, and when he is confronted in the final boss battle of Julius Mode. It's genetic. Alucard, son of Dracula, can be ordered to sit down at several places in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night... whereupon he takes the same position as his father. Fallen Hero or so it appears Richter can be seen performing the classic pose when Alucard first meets him, as well as in a piece of his concept art, and Dracula loves it so much that he spends the entire Final Battle slouching on his throne. Of course, said throne turns into an Eldritch Abomination for the fight. Apparently it's a vampire thing. Walter and Joachim after taking his throne do it as well. The former underling-turned-hero Hector performs this in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, lounging pensively in any chair you choose to seat him in. Evidently Dracula trains his underlings to do it. And Drac himself is back at in Lords of Shadow, looking magnificently bored throughout a five-hundred-thousand-strong siege upon his castle up until soldiers actually burst into the room. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic In the season 2 premiere, Discord gets in on a bit of this action during the climactic scene via use of his evil-looking throne, though his posture varies moment by moment as a reflection of his chaotic personality. In Twilight's Kingdom – Part 2, when Tirek is seated on Celestia's throne, his posture has a decidedly unroyal air. In the season 5 finale, Twilight is worried that Starlight Glimmer is following her and has just put it out of mind when she enters the castle's map room — and finds Starlight reclining on Fluttershy's throne with a Psychotic Smirk. In the Season 6 finale, a changeling posing as Fluttershy invokes this while sitting on her throne, putting its rear hooves up on the map table (a Continuity Nod to Starlight doing a similar slouch the previous season). |

In the original cut of The Thief and the Cobbler, the villainous One-Eye is fond of slouching this way in a tent filled with evil music while watching a group of barely clothed bellydancers. When Zig-Zag shows up to pledge allegiance to him he sighs indignantly and adopts a more menacing sitting posture by ordering the women he's sitting on to rearrange themselves into the shape of a proper throne. Unsurprisingly this one didn't make it into any of the hacked-up theatrical cuts but you can see it in all its glory in The Recobbled Cut. | |

Dragon Ball has several examples: Frieza sits in a flight chair. He flies with it, he kills people with his finger beam while sitting on it, he even sat on it when he destroyed the planet Vegeta. In his case, it demonstrates that he's a lazy, spoiled rich kid who won't even walk if one of his hideously expensive gadgets can do it for him. Cooler has a similar chair. He also sits on a throne of a planet he just devastated. Then he crushes it with his tail. Maoh Piccolo sits on a throne which is made of the same bone-like looking material of Namekian houses and spaceships. Super Buu has terrible posture whether he's standing or sitting, fitting both his Rubber Man powerset and his rude, crude Lower-Class Lout personality. His iconic pose is a standing slouch, shoulders slumped and head cocked to one side as he watches his foes with annoyance or amusement. |

Algol does this in Soul Calibur 4. Not only does he rise from his throne in the cutscene that precedes his battles, but he also uses it in battle - he teleports in it, kicks enemies from it in a certain combo, and, amusingly, occasionally puts his opponent in it. His Critical Finish ends with him striking the pose seen in the above image after he crushes his opponent with his throne from above. It even becomes his Limit Break in V, in which he slouches on top of the opponent, throne and all. It should also be noted that this is the strongest Limit Break in the game, taking over half of the victim's entire health bar, though in exchange it costs two full bars of the soul gauge instead of the usual one. The second hit of damages comes when he crosses one leg over the other. |

Dragon Quest: When it's not the Dragonlord from Dragon Quest pulling the iconic "chin on fist" slouching in the throne, it's going to be Zoma from Dragon Quest III doing it, usually dependent on who's getting more focus on what media they appear in. Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2: The Baboon Beast◊ from Professional has this. No seriously, his throne is a part of his graphic. In Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Victory, Nokturnus adopts this pose for all the intro cutscene. |

When Buffy enters the Bronze, Sweet and Dawn are seated on comfy chairs on the stage. Sweet is slouching with a leg over the armrest, while Dawn is sitting upright next to him in the mock 'Queen' position. |

Chaos in Dissidia Final Fantasy. He has two variants of this, each playing with the fact that he has two sets of arms. One is a variant on the classic "hand supporting head, arm hanging over his knee" posture, which has the other two hanging off the armrests of his throne; the other has him leaning forward, folding two hands in front of him and having the other two occupy the armrests properly. The game even works the Slouch of Villainy into his ultimate attack! Chaos grows to enormous size, attacks the player with a BFS, and then makes the arena explode. And when the explosions die down, Chaos has reappeared back on his throne in his slouch of villainy while the player character drops down in front of him. |

Merlin: When Morgana takes over Camelot at the end of series four, she drapes herself across the throne, in stark contrast to the posture of Arthur, Guinevere, and even herself at the end of series three. Glancing over the other examples, she's also one of the very few female characters to embody this trope. There's also an often-seen promotional photo of Uther in a less pronounced variant of this pose, though he doesn't adopt it onscreen. |

Master Xehanort does this again in the climax of 3D. It's a particularly advanced slouch, too, complete with his legs crossed over to one side, head resting on his fist, and an utterly bored look on his face as he rattles off how no, he didn’t ruin the lives of three innocent apprentices and countless others, he only helped guide them to what fate had in store for them. He later reprises the exact same slouch during the Final Battle of Kingdom Hearts III and his Limit Cut rematch, only this time it heralds one of the most brutal desperation attacks of the entire series. | |

Kingdom Hearts: Kingdom Hearts II, Xemnas fights two full battles this way. He happens to have the powers of all the other Organization members Sora has killed, so he commands their powers to fight for him while he sits on his throne watching. Even when attacked and fighting back with his sword, he stays sitting down. Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days: Everyone you see sitting in the Grey Room does this. Of course, they're all morally ambiguous. Master Xehanort does this, too. As a matter of fact if there is a X of Villainy/Y of Evil trope here, you can bet on him doing it. It makes you wonder why ANYBODY trusts the guy. Birth by Sleep Final Mix gives us the No Heart Optional Boss, Master X's Keyblade Armor - which is nigh-identical to Xemnas's Tin Tyrant form. Naturally, he spends the first segment sitting down, ensuring you can't even reach him by creating a magical barrier with his Keyblade. When you break the barrier, he gets out of his chair and makes you regret it. Master Xehanort does this again in the climax of 3D.

In Overlord II, the Overlord actually gets to sit in his throne. He slouches magnificently, and gains bonus points for being able to do it in full armor. In the ending, he does so with his Mistresses, who're fawning over him. | |

City of Heroes: Player characters can adopt a sitting pose with options tailored for different furniture such as armchairs, sofas, ledges, and barstools. Only male characters can do the slouch, possibly because female characters can wear skirts. Because of the way that poses work, heroes and villains can do the slouch on literally anything. Including thin air. |

Oddly enough, protagonist Conan is pictured sitting this way during the ending narration of both Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Conan the Destroyer. | |

All For Luz: All For One does this on his armchair in Luz's Mental World in his Establishing Character Moment. Luz notes he acts like a king on his throne looking down on a peasant. | |

Q from Star Trek: The Next Generation tends to lounge on various bridge stations every so often (although he’s usually more of a Trickster Mentor than a villain). | |
