Line 26:
* In ''[[Star Trek: Nemesis]]'', Shinzon directs his hatred of the Romulans towards Earth for reasons which only make sense to the screenwriter. It's never even explained what bizarre line of reasoning led to him wanting to destroy Earth and not, you know, Romulus.
* ''[[Friday the 13th]]'' is all about this. Even in the first movie, Ms. Vorhees' motives revolve around revenge against people who are already dead. Jason himself is no better, his rage taken out on horny teenagers who simply ''remind'' him of the neglectful counselors.
* From ''[[The Wizard of Oz (film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'', the Wicked Witch's primary grudge against Dorothy is that she killed her sister, the Wicked Witch of the East, despite Dorothy vainly trying to tell her it was an accident. Which it ''was'', as Dorothy certainly had no control over the cyclone. Indeed, the house would have crushed the Witch of the East even if Dorothy hadn't been inside it at the time. But try telling ''that'' to the [[Obviously Evil]] villain.
