Line 1: {{trope}} '''Basic Trope''': A [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] who was right. * '''Straight''': [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast\|Malvolio]] [[Kick the Dog\|kicks an inordinate amount of puppies]]...but [[Shoot the Dog\|it]] actually accomplished his [[Utopia\|end goal]]. * '''Exaggerated''': Malvolio is a [[Complete Monster]] who seems to be doing things [[For the Evulz]], but somehow the world is a better place for it. * '''Justified''': The land in question had been lawless for some time, the only way to get anyone to listen was to smack some heads. * '''Inverted''': [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]] ** Malvolio does good things, but ultimately his plan is to become an [[Evil Overlord]]...[[Oh Crap\|and it worked]]. * '''Subverted''': It looks like Malvolio's plan is going to work, but someone throws a wrench in it at the last second. It looks like his intentions are good, but he eventually goes powermad. It looks like he was doing bad things, but it turns out all those supposed off-screen 'deaths' or '[[Cold -Blooded Torture]] sessions' were faked. ** Malvolio looks at what he would have to do to accomplish his goals, and, after much deliberation, decides the consequences are too great. * '''Double Subverted''': ...But Malvolio [[Xanatos Speed Chess\|can account for that]]. Line 21: Malvolio felt guilty about his plans but no one else did. They make him into a Messiah figure after his suicide. A little [[Warrior Therapist\|warrior therapy]] is all the hero needs for a [[Heel Realization]]. He becomes Mavolio's [[The Lancer\|second in command]]. * '''Zig Zagged''': Malvolio decides the costs are too great, then changes his mind. But he means well--except he doesn't! Oh, wait, that was the final step in his [[Evil Plan\|master plan]]. And then someone threw a [[Spanner in ~~The~~the Works]]. But he got around it. Now the world's a [[Utopia]]! Except he was lying, and went through all this trouble to become an [[Evil Overlord]]. Then he wants to do good, but the general populace is so fed up with his [[Lampshade Hanging\|mood swings]] that they stop him from doing it. * '''Averted''': Nothing particularly evil is required to accomplish a [[Utopia]]. ** No one tries for a [[Utopia]].
