Plus, I doubt the person making the threat would wait for any actual preparations such as canceling various subscriptions. And I don’t think they’d allow for the necessary witnesses required while I’m writing my will.
Inigo Montoya would like to have a word with you…
He wasn’t doing it as a threat. He was doing it because he was a gentleman who happened to be seeking revenge.
Inigo Montoya saying it so many times feels like an action movie where some idiot with a gun cocks it over and over every time they really mean it this time.
Except of course Mandy Patinkin is a fucking treasure.
I watched a lot of movies as a kid, but I never noticed until Back to the Future (the 2nd one, I think), with Biff Tannen cocking his revolver excessively on the roof. That movie caused me to start counting.
Just preface it with “Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father,…”.
I mean, doctors do say that a lot. Not in those exact words but yeah
Usually not as a threat, though
That you know of
Maybe that’s exactly what they are, or promises? “You have 6 months to live”.
Dr. Theoden of Rohan will receive you now

Pretty sure OP has six fingers on his right hand.
That’s why I walk up to random people on the street and angrily shout at them “PREPARE TO DIE!!”
I then calmly hand them a brochure for my estate planning business.
You could take the idea Hollister had. Get shirtless men to handout the brochure maybe have them look a bit viking esque.
Seems like a good business idea
I’d like at least a few seconds so I can relish the lack of responsibility
It depends.
If the threat is “we’re about to have a fight you won’t survive”, your critique is valid. If the threat is “you’ve just been poisoned, and will succumb within a few days”, then giving them the time to put their papers in order really won’t harm the speaker at all. Though maybe it isn’t entirely effective as a threat. If the threat is “I can take actions that will end your life, but all I’m telling you is it’s happening soon” it works as an ominous threat, and a sincere offer (though they’d probably better hurry).
“Well, I’ll try. Come back in a few decades. Or not at all; I can do it myself.”
Ten years later: “Sorry, I need more time… those fucking gym memberships, you know…”
It’s way more normal-sounding than “Scholar of the First Sin”
I prefer “don’t renew your library books”
The stament is because they want the victim to know they are going to die and that they are going to do it. Its a personal murder type of thing.
Preferred: “I EAT BONES AND SHIT GHOSTS”
