That's What I Would Do	comment	In a story where the villain is a Worthy Opponent, or if the hero and the villain are Mirror Characters, sometimes it's easy for the hero to predict their antagonist's every move. His Sidekick asks him how he knows what the Big Bad is going to do next, and the hero responds by saying it's because he knows that if their positions were reversed, that's exactly what he would have done. This is often used to show that the hero and the villain do in fact have more in common than the hero is usually willing to admit, or that they're on the same level intellectually. The line is most often uttered by Anti Heroes or reformed villains who know the tricks of the trade and are able to think like a villain. In Darker and Edgier stories, this may push the hero into morally gray territory, letting the audience know that this character who they thought was a good guy may be no better than the villain himself. He doesn't blame the villain for kicking his dog, running over his little sister, and devouring that orphanage full of babies, because placed in his antagonist's situation, he would have done the same thing. In speculative fiction stories, sometimes the hero knows what the villain will do because they may be effectively the same person, in which case it is much easier for the hero to imagine himself in the villain's shoes. Sometimes this line is uttered by the villain himself, who understands the implications of his actions and realizes that the hero is only doing his job, and tells the hero that he doesn't hold it against him for trying to kill him, and he should just get it over with, either because the villain knows that if he were the hero he would do the same, or because the villain wants the hero to know that he's just that much of a bastard and would be just as likely to kill the hero if he were given the chance. It's also a common line of The Atoner, particularly if he or she is protecting someone from his or her former kind (such as Professional Killers). Of course, kinder and gentler heroes will not take the villain up on his offer in order to show that there is, in fact, a difference between them and that the hero will not stoop to the level of a villain by obliging his request. Contrast To Know Him, I Must Become Him. See I Know You Know I Know for the results of both sides following this line of thinking to its logical conclusion, factoring the other side's predictions into their own analysis. Examples

Mombasa takes it one step further, giving a detailed description of a sadistic trap for human prey, then saying, "I know because I have done this."

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Deadlock", a Negative Space Wedgie duplicates Voyager and its crew, but only one can survive. This trope works better than usual because Captain Janeway really does know what her other self will do. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Done from the perspective of a third party.

Most impressively, one of the doppelgangers manages to guess a password that her original created after the split happened, because it's the password that she would have used. In "The Vanquishers", the Doctor is split into three Doctors in the same timeline but different areas of Space. One Doctor turns up to rescue the other and traps the Big Bad in his own torture device. When the rescued Doctor says, "That's what I would have done!" her (somewhat confused) companion points out, "That's what you did do!"

Like they're having right now. He then dismisses the idea of actually doing it in real life because no one is that stupid and/or crazy.
