Exactly so. Thus, if I arrange for a dramatic death scene for a villain, frex, I am doing so on the basis that a) its not reality and b) my audience likes recurring characters (i.e. their own). Knowing this, I have every reason to anticipate the demise of my villain; why therefore should I not spend some time thinking about and planning for the manner of their death?

Well, I think thats an overly dramatic exaggeration of the point.
