The more fantastic the particular setting, the more creative villains (and sometimes heroes) usually get with this trope. It's also fairly commonly used as a warning to the hero against seeking forbidden power or knowledge, and consequently to foreshadow the particular Karmic Death the villain will suffer because of meddling with the universe's Cosmic Keystone. This phrase is usually used in a Just Between You and Me moment by the Evil Overlord as they boast about the agony-inducing Death Trap that awaits the hero for delaying their plans. So, they have to get creative with the fate bestowed upon their unfortunate character. Or maybe they have children as their intended audience (or a nosy censor) and can't kill off a villain or character.
