Which villain would you find scarier?

Villain 1: Big made, talks loud, talks trash, threatens a lot..

Villain 2: Appears suave, never raises his voice but talks with definite purpose at all times..

Guess who ends up dead?

I found this observation interesting as I was reading a few thrillers where the real doers are those suave executioners who mean everything they say, and generally say everything with incredible calm..

That’s 2 big things –
1) Walking your talk i.e. doing everything you say..
2) Not getting overly excited/not being susceptible to the highs and lows when it comes to doing the job..

Interesting. This is still in the observation stage so no conclusions yet but the patterns are beginning to make sense.. :)
