Brain, have you seen the first Flash Gordon serial, that is where Middleton was unmatched.  Didn't you like the end of chapter one of FGCTU where the glass chamber in broken during a fight and Ming shakes his fist and growls, "They've broken the glass chamber, I'll release the purple death dust and kill them all!"  A minute later Flash is fighting at the edge of a pit, and Ming marches past and again shakes his fist and says, "KILL HIM, KILL HIM!"  He meant it.   Wait until chapter four where Ming thinks Flash has been killed, and has Dale prisoner, and delivers one of the great lines in serials, "Seeing as I have deprived you of your sweetheart, it s only fitting that I should take his place.  Go dress her in the clothing fitting the wife of an emperor!"

Remember, you can always trust Honest Pa Stark
