Line 48:
** In the (non-Bluth directed) sequel to the movie, {{spoiler|Martin}}, a good guy in both the film and book, becomes a crazed villain (although as the result of [[Brainwashed and Crazy|brainwashing]]).
* Ivan Sakharine in the ''[[Tintin]]'' comic ''The Secret of the Unicorn''. While sinister-seeming and a nuisance, he isn't evil, and is victimized by the real villains, a pair of unscrupulous treasure hunters. He even gets an implied [[Pet the Dog]] moment - a cameo in ''Red Rackham's Treasure'' suggests that he offered his own ''Unicorn'' model for Captain Haddock's maritime gallery, and in turn Haddock seems to be on good enough terms with Sakharine to invite him to an exhibition there. In the [[Tintin (film)|movie]] based on the same comic, he is a much darker and more threatening character {{spoiler|with a blood vendetta against Haddock's family}} who takes over the role of the comic's villains.
* In Disney's ''[[Hercules (1997 film)
** Inverted with Hera, however. In the movie, she is portrayed as Hercules's loving mother. In mythology, she was his main enemy, since he was the product of one of Zeus's "escapades".
* The Sea Witch in the [[Hans Christian Andersen]] fairy tale ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' is a [[True Neutral]] character who shows no vindictive intentions toward the unnamed mermaid, only making the famous tongue-for-legs exchange, even warning the mermaid of the consequences of the transformation. She doesn't go back on the deal or interfere with her relationship with the prince until she is asked to by the mermaid's sisters, and even then only indirectly. In the [[Disney Animated Canon]], she is named Ursula, is an out-and-out villain with a tendency toward [[Deal with the Devil|Faustian deals]], and gets in the way of Ariel's romance with Prince Eric far more than the character in the fairy tale did.
Line 82:
** Faramir, although on the good side in both, is more antagonistic towards the hobbits in the film version of ''The Two Towers'' than he was in the book. He is also tempted by the Ring in the movie - in the book, he's [[Genre Savvy]] enough to know that anything made by Sauron is probably dangerous.
*** [[Word of God]] says it was because they didn't have enough time to do the complex character development that that scene would require to justify Faramir not trying to take the ring.
* {{spoiler|Jim Phelps}} in the first ''[[Mission: Impossible (film)
* Sentinel Prime, in his earliest appearances in the ''[[Transformers Generation 1|Transformers]]'' cartoons, was one of [[The Hero|Optimus Prime's]] mentors and is usually depicted as a good guy. In ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon]]'', however, he is the [[Big Bad]] and has no qualms about killing and enslaving humans to restore Cybertron.
** Granted, this isn't the [[Transformers Animated|first time]] Sentinel's actions were morally reprehensible, but this is the first time that he's depicted as an outright ''villain''.<ref>Though, there were plans that, in season 4 of ''[[Transformers Animated]]'', [[What Could Have Been|Sentinel would have taken a possibly much more antagonistic role]].</ref>
