Hmm... Disney Princesses at first seemed plausible:
1) Introduce Hero to Disney Princess
2) Have a last fight to make it convincing and then say " you convinced me to change my ways"!
3) Throw wedding party for Hero and Disney Princess
4) Continue with evil overlord plans now that the hero is out of the way.
...But then I realized that in nearly every Disney film the villain dies. Which is surprisingly dark. So they'd be more likely to just murder me then believe I had changed. 'Tis a pity, seemed like such a good plan.
Aha, you fail to see the levels of fiendish cunning in my plan, for I am
*That* Evil Overlord!
The one who rules with justice and mercy.
The one who makes the hard calls with self-sacrifice when necessary.
The one who toils day and night to improve the lot of all.
So when the 'Hero' marries one of my hench-persons, he actually joins our cause and fights on our side.
So what makes me an 'evil' overlord?
Simple. I have an
evil mustache!
Oh, and that thing about making the hard calls--pretty sure there are some of those that will make me unpopular, and I will be saddled with the surname 'the merciless' because of it....
But yeah, no ironical death scene for me, no revolution of my forces for me.
My Princesses and I shall conquer all!
Nicely, for the betterment of everyone.
