Can definitely see the villain winning a fight out in the rain here

Oh, so desolate and tragic! The villain laid waste to everything. The echo-y xylophone (?) makes it that much more heartbreaking. RIP.

The sound certainly has a conflict-ending tranquility to it, but every chord that otherwise would be major has some dissonance sprinkled in which is kind of like an “evil resolution” which is exactly the theme you suggest! That last chord is so interesting, a simple tonic minor chord resolution, but it sounds so much darker. I think your use of the minor third in the low register is the reason for this since close intervals in bass voices sound darker and dissonant even if they aren’t. You capitalized on this effect and it works great! Thank you for sharing!

Sorry to say it, but this is way too calm and nice to feel like a larger-than-life villain XD

Otherwise, this is so pretty. The chords are a thing of beauty. And I especially like the 00:24 min high pitch pattern. A good job over all.
