What does the villain want?
We have this one ridiculously powerful villain who wants to destroy the world, and our hero stood up to fight him. We all know the story. May it be the Devil, Sauron, or Ogdru Jahad, or Dark Spawn, or the Low man (from Dark Tower series).. It was never really clear what the villain intend to do after destroying the world (or universe for that matter). The act of destruction can not be the ultimate goal, the villain will survive the destruction and what will he do next? go back to sleep? Rule the world in horror? there's nothing left to rule!
I was never quite understand the idea of "end of the world". It can't be the end, as time goes, there's no end, something would happen after "the end". Prince and princess don't live happily ever after, and villain would have to do something with his empty world. It'd be great if there's a story about the villain and his new world. The then villain would become a great King who burn down a corrupted and evil world and established a new one.
