Need help with a literary term

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

I'm not even sure if a term for this exists, but I'm trying to think of literary term to use for the moment in a story in which the villian or antagonist asserts him or herself, meaning that scene in which the villain is established as a villain, and he or she flaunts it.

An example would in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, when Saruman revelas his assembled army of 10,000 Uruk-hai, and makes his grand speech atop his tower. That's what I consider the ultimate "villain moment." Is their a technical term for that?

2. In classic plot structure...

...no, there's not a specific term. (I like "villain moment"; we should adopt it immediately!)

5. discovery?

according to Aristotle a discovery is when the audience and/or character finds out something devastating, like when Oedipus discovers that he's the guy that killed his father

6. the revelation of the protaganist?

8. do you mean

When the audience/reader knowns but not the characters? That is dramatic irony. I think that is what you are asking, no?
