Designated Villain: Difference between revisions

* The Machines in ''[[The Matrix]]'' become this in the [[All There in the Manual|fluff]]. {{spoiler|It turns out that their "genocide" of humanity was ''an act of self defense'' after humanity randomly decided to become bent on destroying ''them'', unprovoked, purely out of prejudice. And this was ''after'' humans had used them as routinely abused slave labor for years.}}

* ''[[Christmas with the Kranks]]'' places the Kranks at the same level as [[A Christmas Carol|Ebenezer Scrooge]] simply because their only flaw in the movie is that they do not want to celebrate the commercialism of Christmas for one year.

** Adams' roommate (played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is particularly bad for this. The audience is expected to hate him because he's a stick in the mud and insufferably smug, but it's clear he tries earnestly to get good grades and we can understand why he might feel jealous of Patch (who gets the highest grades in the class without studying at all). He accuses Patch of cheating on his tests, and since we never see him study (whenever he's with the other med students, he just goofs off while ''they'' try to work), it does seem suspect for Adams to have such high grades. We can also understand why having a roommate as annoying as Patch might make one a little snippy, especially when the guy disrupts your tests by cracking jokes.
