Villain Has a Point: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal|Yu-Gi-Oh Ze Xal]]'' has this with Kaito Tenjo. He believes the Numbers' cards are evil and from what has been seen the Numbers can easily make the good bad, (Ukyo, Fuya to a lesser extent) and the bad worse, (Jin, Rikuo, Kaio). Also, his claim that the Numbers want to destroy the world seems plausible seeing the evil from Black Mist who was able to capture Astral and control Yuma's body against his will. In fact, the only issue with him capturing Numbers is that he takes the soul of the person who possessed it.

* Stain, from ''[[My Hero Academia]]'', a violent vigilante who hunts down and murders super-heroes. Much like [[Marshal Law]], he feels the term “hero” has lost its meaning, and most heroes have become little more than greedy, selfish [[Attention Whore]]s and worse, those who are [[Only In It For The Money]] and take from society far less than they contribute to it; the only person he considers a true hero is [[Big Good| All-Might]] himself. Stain knows his methods are wrong, but considers himself a [[Necessary Evil]]. Thing is, he's not exactly wrong in his views. Many pro-heroes in this series are indeed selfish narcissists caring little for anything but their own glory, folks like [[Nominal Hero| Endeavor]] being good examples.

 

* In one chapter of the fanfic ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20200811180023/https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13123354/1/Jackie-Chan-Adventures-Olympian-Journey Jackie Chan Adventures: Olympian Journey]'', Captain Black, Jade, and Prometheus [[Our Titans Are Different| (yes, ''that'' Prometheus)]] are in a courtroom overseen by Themis herself (that would be the Titan who embodies of Justice, for those who don't know) in [[Humanity on Trial| a case to decide whether Humanity or Divinity deserve to rule over Earth.]] Naturally, the three are arguing on behalf of Humanity, while the villains - led by [[Trickster God| Eris]] - are representing Divinity. Eris’ overall arguments focus on how [[Humans Are Flawed]] (a nice way to describe her attitude), with her closing argument focusing on an “invention so repugnant, so diabolical, so utterly despicable that it alone will surely convince you”: commercialized air travel.

{{quote|'''Eris:''' These wicked humans charge a fortune for permission to travel on a cramped, disgusting tube that shoots through the sky! They fondle you to search for weapons, which somehow includes soap, then send you into this “plane” where you are crammed in like grapes waiting to be juiced. Then they spend roughly an hour on the “tarmac” just sitting there before finally beginning the journey, whereupon you are treated to hours of recycled air while left to near starvation, given only tiny snacks on rare occasions. Entertainment is provided, but it is of low quality and costs extra.

* In ''[[Power Rangers SPD]]'', Sky and Jay constantly argue with each other and have a lot of trouble cooperating, so much that in the episode "Walls", Ringbah (the [[Monster of the Week]]) points out how unprofessional they're being.

 

* In [[Isaac Asimov]]'s story "The Dead Past", the government agents trying to prevent the protagonists from learning the secret of [[Intangible Time Travel|viewing the past]] seem like a classic heavy-handed [[Government Conspiracy]]... until it turns out that they're simply trying to prevent privacy from being utterly destroyed by the dissemination of devices that can view any place at any past time from a century ago to a microsecond ago.

 

 

* Dr. M from [[Sly Cooper|Sly 3]] may be [[Bad Boss|a terrible person to work with]], [[Mad Scientist|a lab nut]], and an overall [[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain]] but he DID buy the island legally so everything is technically his and he could've claimed his right to kill Sly seeing that Sly invaded his land.

* {{spoiler|Commander Tartar}}, [[Big Bad]] and [[Final Boss]] of ''Splatoon 2'''s Octo Expansion campaign is a batshit insane [[Omnicidal Maniac]] who wants to eradicate both Inkling and Octolings to replace them with a more "pure" sapient life form worthy of receiving ancient human knowledge. {{spoiler|It}} is right on one point: [[Silly Reason for War|Inklings and Octolings waging war over minor differences and fashion choices is retarded as all hell.]] {{spoiler|At least this didn't fall into deaf ears as both species seem to reconcile at the end}}.

 

* In the ''[[Maple Story]]''-inspired video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ij05CmYqkkA seen here], Hilla (the only character of the three that can be called a villain) clearly knows far more about the subject matter than the other two, despite Mayor Slimm being an ''actual'' elected official. [[Pragmatic Villainy]], of course, as she claims she's simply studying a nation she plans to conquer.

 

* In ''[[The Jungle Book]]'', Shere Khan's distrust and dislike of Mogli hinges on [[Fantastic Racism]] at times, until you realize he's a Bengal tiger, an species that has nearly been hunted to extinction by humans. One might even see Khan as the [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Beast]] among the cast, realizing that trusting a human is playing with fire.

* ''[[Justice League (animation)|Justice League Unlimited]]'': [[NGO Superpower|Project Cadmus]] created several threats to the world, but they do have considerable ground to stand on for their actions: the League didn't tell anyone about their big [[Kill Sat]], they themselves have made questionable decisions in the past, and the [[Alternate Universe|Justice Lords]] were able to take over their world with only six of the founding members.
