Hidden Agenda Villain: Difference between revisions
→Western Animation
Line 140:
* In the original season of ''[[Jackie Chan Adventures]]'' the main protagonists know that Valmont and the Dark Hand are after the talismans, but they don't know that said talismans are meant to bring [[Big Bad]] Shendu back to life. In this case, the audience knows the intentions of the villains but the protagonists don't.
* Grodd in the third season of ''[[Justice League Unlimited]]''. He brought together the supervillains of the [[DCAU]] into one combined force, came up with a plan for granting invulnerability to all of them, blackmailed ''Lex Luthor''...and what was his ultimate plan? {{spoiler|Turning the entire planet into apes!? Needless to say, it ended with Luthor shooting him in the face.}}
* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'':
** [[Troll| Bubble Bass]]. If he had ''any'' reason at all to blatantly lie about SpongeBob forgetting the pickles (and driving poor SpongeBob into a [[Heroic BSOD]] because of it) he never revealed it.
** Flats the Flounder was similar. He was dead-set on killing SpongeBob, but never seemed to give a reason.
* Vlad Masters often does this in ''[[Danny Phantom]]''. The first major instance is getting the Skeleton Key. Neither the heroes nor the audiences know why he wanted it. It's revealed in a later episode. The ''same'' episode then shows '''ANOTHER''' hidden agenda; namely Vlad obtaining the Fenton Ecto Suit, [[The Dragon|The Fright Knight]], the Ring of Rage (which he didn't get), and the Crown of Fire. While the former is shown in a later episode, the rest unfortunately is never explained due to the show being cancelled.
** Also Youngblood in "Pirate Radio". He pops out for the first half of the episode, doing various villainous tasks that makes absolutely no sense and doesn't seem to connect. It's all revealed in the second half.
