Part 2 in what makes a hero truly competent? Is it intelligence? Preparation? Adaptability? Or just surviving long enough to look impressive?

In this two-part breakdown, Jay and Kevin rank heroes from across movies, TV, comics, anime, and video games purely on competence — not power level, not popularity, not nostalgia. Just skill, execution, and results.

We debate who actually earned their victories, who relied a little too heavily on plot armor, and which so-called “heroes” might actually be liabilities. From master strategists to chaotic survivors, nothing is off-limits.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your favorite hero really deserved the win… this episode is for you.

What makes a villain actually competent?Is it intelligence, preparation, adaptability… or just not monologuing at the wrong time?

In the second part of this episode of the K J and A Podcast, Jay and Kevin break down iconic villains from movies, TV, games, and pop culture and rate them purely on how well they executed their evil plans. No sympathy points. No “cool design” bias. Just cold, hard competence.

We debate who truly deserved to win, who fumbled an easy victory, and which villains were only dangerous because the plot said so. Along the way, we spiral into questionable logic, hot takes, and the eternal question:If they were so smart… how did they still lose?
