I thought I wasn’t good at monologuing until I had to do a 10 minute speech for a class and in my practice runs I had to keep cutting content I wanted to talk about to finally get to the 10 minute mark.
And when did you turn into a supervillain?
Bit idea: Supervillain who never gets to revealling their plan, because every time they get halfway through an idea they realize they have to explain something else first. The hero then has to piece together what the plan was that related magnetism, geologic history of China and Germany, silica chemistries, Ronald Reagan, and the nuances of radio station licensing in America.
