The Federation has been at war with The Empire for decades. At some point, the heroes are called upon to infiltrate the forces of the Empire to gather intelligence or perform some act of sabotage. But during their mission, they discover that the enemy aren't the baby-eating monsters that Federation propaganda has always said the enemy was. The longer the heroes interact with the enemy, the more they come to realize that the enemy is just like them. The possibility of friendship, and even possibly romance, starts becoming more and more evident. The heroes might even find they have counterparts... likeable counterparts, among the enemy troops. This trope also happens when the objective camera starts spending more time with the enemy than in the past. Often, in the end, the heroes will find they must fight those enemies they've come to like and respect. Sometimes the result of an Enemy Mine plot. Related to Punch-Clock Villain. See also Defecting for Love and Sympathetic P.O.V.. Not to be confused with One of Us. |

Fringe: While the alternate universe is initially portrayed as an unspecified threat, the end of the second season gives us the (rather understandable) reasons why and shows that "our" side isn't so good after all. Finally, according to producers/actors, the whole point of season 3 was to make the alternate characters sympathetic to us. | |

In Doonesbury, B.D. becomes friends with Viet Cong member Phred. This comes as quite a shock to his fellow Americans, since B.D. was violently anti-Communist and had actually volunteered to fight in Vietnam (albeit just get out of having to take a test). | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender: Aang attended a Fire Nation school, and in the process learned that the Fire Nation isn't completely evil, contrary to the impressions he was given by traveling through lands that the Fire Nation was invading. Zuko discovered the same in his journey through the Earth Kingdom, first hunting Aang and then as a fugitive. He'd bought into the propoganda that the purpose of the war was to share the Fire Nation's glory with the rest of the world. This discovery is part of what prompts his Heel–Face Turn. |

Star Trek: One of the Aesops of the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Balance of Terror" is that the Romulans aren't all that different from the Federation. This Aesop was, of course, ignored later. Also touched open and ultimately ignored in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Chase" when it was discovered that humans, Cardassians, Klingons, and Romulans all have a common ancestry. Picard and a Romulan captain remark on how they're similar after all, but nothing comes of it. |

The Land Before Time: In the second movie, the gang raises a young sharptooth. True to form, they have a song about it. Most of Land Before Time has something like this, thanks to Cera's dad's bigotry. He comes around by the end of the story, but reverts as soon as new danger shows up. |

Happened on Teen Titans, when Cyborg was infiltrating Brother Blood's academy (of EVIL)... he actually liked it there, made some friends, had a brief romance with Jinx (She's got pink hair, though, so that's understandable), and actually looked like he was going to become the mask for a while... | |

During the first half of Battlestar Galactica (2003)'s third season, the point of view is frequently with the Cylons just as often as with the Colonials. As such, many end up becoming sympathetic characters. | |

In The Gamer's Alliance, some of the members of the Grand Alliance have realized that the Crimson Coalition, the army they've been fighting against, might not be quite as bad as they originally thought. Many others in the Alliance refuse to see it that way, however, and point out the atrocities committed by the Coalition. However, it's eventually the Alliance member Jono Renfield who realizes that the Alliance's methods can be just as cruel and he points out that the two armies might not be so different after all. | |

Done, kind of, in the PS3 game Lair in which the hero ends up joining his once-enemies mostly out of necessity, only to see that they are not the monsters his old kingdom made them out as. | |
