Stage 1: Many movies and shows kill off their main villains, depending on the type of villain of course

Stage 2: Most shows don't kill off their main villains, but see them reformed, imprisoned, etc.

Stage 3: Most shows have their villains run off (current stage)

Stage 4: Most shows have their villains win (this will come in the future)
