Talk:Plot Convenience/@comment-38586756-20200209030115/@comment-44914195-20200223035056

I've proven to not pay too much attention to this page but in my opinion I'd say yes. Any time a villain gets the upper hand for no reason or really anything for no reason other than it's convenient to the plot and the author can't explain it either or gives a vague somehow unexplained explanation is plot convenience. E.g. Palpatine being alive in rise of Skywalker because "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural." Unfortunately for villains most popular stories have the good guy win sometimes even if they aren't the protagonist e.g. Light Yagami in Death Note meeting his demise. Lots of bad guys don't get plot convenience because they are smart enough to not need it and the story shows that, again Light Yagami. Plot based powers without explicitly being canon are just excuses for mediocre writing. If you are talking about Can a villain have this power canonically I also believe yes. The villain could win. The good guy could also have it but the good guy's PC is tronger or cancels out the villains PC, or The good guy has to win by outsmarting the villain. If this isn't accurate forgive my, I was only stating my opinion.

TL;DR: Yes, before the good guy wins. Or in the off chance they win.
