I have two hypotheses, both untestable (and therefore worthless): 1. The distance between stars is too huge, so there has to be a trick to beating it easily, like FTL travel or wormholes, because otherwise it's just crap. 2. If any supervillains want to destroy the universe, they're too late: it's already been done, and this is all that's left.
