Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:~~eyebrow2_9436~~eyebrow2 9436.jpg\|frame\|[[~~Lazy Town~~LazyTown\|Yep]][[The Lion King\|, these guys]] [[The Shining\|are baaaad.]]]] ] Nothing says "villain" more than a pair of dark, high arching eyebrows! It doesn't matter if a villain is smiling, laughing, crying or frowning, [['''Evil Eyebrows]]''' will remain at a permanently high arch on his or her forehead, giving the character a constant expression of menace or disdain. [['''Evil Eyebrows]]''' are usually darker and curve higher than any other characters' eyebrows. The level of thickness varies - If the hero has thick eyebrows, the villain usually has razor thin ones to counter this. But if the hero has thin eyebrows, the villain's will usually be ''[[Big Ol' Eyebrows\|thicker than the fuzziest of caterpillars]]''. Either way, they will still have the trademark "evil arch" that every bad guy seems to be born with. Will sometimes have a [[Good Scars, Evil Scars\|scar]] crossing through one of the eyebrows to emphasize the evil. Usually related to [[Unusual Eyebrows]] and [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]. Frequently paired with [[Excessive Evil Eyeshadow]]. {{examples~~\|Examples:~~}} == [[Anime]] == Line 31 ⟶ 30: * Snape from ''[[Harry Potter]]'' is often described as arching his eyebrows. He's played in the films naturally enough, by the master of evil-eyebrow-raising, [[Alan Rickman]]. Subverted in that Snape turns out to be a good guy. But he's still a [[Jerkass\|jerk]]. {{spoiler\|And a double agent, which puts him squarely into [[Anti -Hero]] position.}} * Subverted in [[Georgette Heyer]]'s ''Sylvester, or The Wicked Uncle''. The heroine, an aspiring writer, modeled the villain of her novel after Sylvester, partly because of an unfortunate first meeting, and largely because his eyebrows looked so perfectly villainous. He's really not a bad person at all; a bit arrogant, yes, but well-intentioned (and not an extremist). == [[Live Action TV]] == * Robbie Rotten from ''[[~~Lazy Town~~LazyTown]]'' has thick, arched eyebrows to emphasize that he is, in fact, the villain. * Sylar from ''[[Heroes (TV series)\|Heroes]]'' has very impressive and thick eyebrows that are more of the "low and menacing" variety. He is far from nice. * Subverted with [[Star Trek ~~(Franchise)~~\|Mr. Spock]]. Though Dr. McCoy often [[Lampshade Hanging\|lampshaded]] that his high eyebrows, pointed ears and green complexion made him look satanic. * ''[[Star Trek: Voyager ~~(TV)~~\|Star Trek Voyager]]''. Homaged with Dr Chaotica, the Ming the Merciless expy in the holodeck program ''The Adventures of Captain Proton!'' == Newspaper and Web Comics == * Emperor Ming from ''[[Flash Gordon (~~Comic~~comic ~~Strip~~strip)\|Flash Gordon]]''. == [[Western Animation]] == * Scar from ''[[The Lion King]]''. He even has an [[Good Scars, Evil Scars\|evil]] [[Meaningful Name\|scar]] over one of them. Frollo from ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)\|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. Let's face it, basically every Disney villain fits this trope. * Jenner from ''[[The Secret of NIMH]]'' has eyebrows that arch [[Disembodied Eyebrows\|all the way out of his head]]. * [[Well -Intentioned Extremist\|Jet]] of ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' has some crazy [http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep10/ep10-470.png eyebrows.]{{Dead link}} == [[Video Games]] == Line 54: == [[Real Life]] == * [[Alan Rickman]] as mentioned before. * Actor [[Jack Nicholson]] is well known for his trademark [[Evil Eyebrows]]. * Any picture of Leona Helmsley shows that she had the [[Evil Eyebrows]]. * The otherwise incredibly [[Moe]] David Archuleta has eyebrows like this.
