Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Well-Intentioned Extremist is a type of villain with an overall goal which the heroes can appreciate in principle, but whose methods of pursuing said goal (such as mass murder) are problematic to say the least; despite any sympathy they may have with their cause, the heroes have no choice but to stop them. Taken to extremes, hethey may fully believe that Utopia Justifies the Means. Such an idealistic extremist is likely to be either a Totalitarian Utilitarian or a Principles Zealot, depending on whether he's aiming For Happiness or For Great Justice. The most well-written examples of this trope are the kind that the reader or viewer stops just short of agreeing with. |
