It is clear that R's lifelong ambition is to actually become a Neevil Villain. Neevil Villains are in short supply, since any movie worth its salt uses a couple up and they tend not to reproduce and produce mini-neevils. And R is certainly qualified for the position, after all the study and stumbling neophyte practice sessions he has gone through. Watching him struggle toward his goal these many years has been something like listening to the neighbor's quintuplets take up trumpet in third grade. One just grits one's teeth and bears it, hoping against hope that signs of quality will eventually appear.
