Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: Difference between revisions

== Film ==

* Jessica Rabbit from ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?]]'':

* The original 1954 ''[[Godzilla]]'' film shows that he's as much a victim of the atomic bomb as everyone else.

* While she isn't exactly a ''villain'', Miranda Priestly from ''[[The Devil Wears Prada]]'' certainly isn't portrayed as a good or nice person. But considering her career, can you blame her?

* ''[[Death to Smoochy]]'':

"But if he's ever abusive to you or your mother, then the magic number is 911!" }}

 

== Live Action TV ==

* ''[[LazyTown]]'s'' Robbie Rotten:

But I'm a simple rotten guy, tho's just misunderstood" }}

* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', when the fallen archangel Lucifer (better known as Satan to most humans) escapes to Earth, his first order of business is to [[Grand Theft Me|locate and possess a human vessel]]. Since he is an angel rather than a demon, he must acquire the willing consent of the human who will be his vessel. He claims himself as the ultimate example of this trope as part of his argument to persuade his chosen human to agree to become his vessel. Subverted as he is really evil all along.

== Music ==

* [[Pink]]'s song "M!ssundaztood":

'Cause I'll do it again, I'm just missundaztood"' }}

* Mocked in the [[Warren Zevon]] song "Excitable Boy", in which the 'excitable boy' starts off being just quirky, and then goes on to do some quite horrible things, with each act followed by the line "excitable boy, they said".
