>>50824863The whole point is that the villain is usually a dumbass hypocrite.
Cyrus is intrigued by willpower but despises conviction and emotion because it drives people to do retarded things, so he's using his own conviction and emotion to drive himself to do a retarded thing (remake the universe in his image) to fix that.
Lysandre despises the rich for not using their influence and power responsibly to let the world, people and Pokemon prosper, so he's deemed that if humanity at its greatest influential points can't do anything good, he needs to either commit human genocide or plunge the world in stasis so the world's innate beauties can be restored/preserved, but he's also only letting those very same rich bastards be the only ones that can survive his holocaust because Team Flare has an entry fee and various tiers of importance based on how rich and influential you are.
