* In ''[[Valkyria Chronicles]]'' (the anime), {{spoiler|Faldio's}} "villainhood" is very poorly executed. {{spoiler|He saves everyone's lives with his desperate gamble in activating Alicia, but gets only grief and reproach from everyone, even himself - though nobody ever suggests a possible alternative to his course of action.}} That Alicia survives to live happily ever after, whereas Faldio has an ignominious death off-scene, compounds the problem. Many fans of the game hate his prominence in the anime *anyway*, so they're likely not to care. |

* This is ultimately what {{spoiler|Lelouch's}} Zero Requiem aims for in ''[[Code Geass]]''. {{spoiler|With Lelouch deliberately making himself the focal point of the world's hatred, and with his death, usher in the better world his sister always hoped for.}} |

* In [[The New 52]], DC tried to make fans see [[Harley Quinn]] as a cruel and heartless villain in a story where she rigged video games with bombs, mass-murdering hundreds, including many children. Didn't work. [[Draco in Leather Pants| Harley is just]] [[Evil Is Cold| too likable]] [[Laughably Evil| for fans to stay mad at her for long]], and the story was forgotten quickly. |
