I think typical movie villain organizations are basically fantasy elements. There's no natiralistic explanation of why the mooks would work for them, or how they survive alongside more poweful players. And power without naturalistic explanation is magic
and often it’s not just the villains either, like when The Protagonist in Tenet is told that he’s now officially dead and has been recruited by a secret organisation to save the world or whatever he’s like “okay”, not “what about my family?” or “can I still text my buds?” just robotic acceptance of his instructions (maybe he’s a robot, I haven’t seen the end of the film yet).
I mean, John Wick and The Venture Brothers got a ton of mileage out of semi-accounting for this stuff.
