Some retaliation exceeds what's being retaliated to in its severity. But some retaliation isn't even along the same line; it's directed at those who can't reasonably be blamed for what you're retaliating for, except according to exceedingly shaky justifications, or even no real justification at all (or the culprit stole the victim's identity). Whether it is worse than what is retaliated to or milder, the point remains that it is still unjustly directed at the wrong targets. Closely related to Mis-blamed. Can result in a Misdirected Outburst. A Sister Trope to Disproportionate Retribution and Revenge by Proxy (and so more often than not Moral Event Horizon-worthy). Similar to Cartesian Karma, Guilt by Association Gag, and Karmic Misfire. I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure is when one uses this trope as a threat. Abusive Parents and Domestic Abuse may apply to this trope. It's one of the many ways in which a Cycle of Revenge can get ugly. Avenging the Villain is also related, since The Hero (or whoever killed the villain) is usually either blameless or justified. Yet another related trope is Bewildering Punishment, which is what this trope probably feels like from the victim's POV. The Chain of Harm can result if the victim goes on to inflict this on somebody else. The Butt-Monkey or Cosmic Plaything is often on the receiving end of this when it's Played for Laughs. For cases where someone deliberately ensures this happens, see Frame-Up and The Scapegoat. Not to be confused with Never My Fault (which CAN, through the aforementioned Frame-Up and The Scapegoat, cause Misplaced Retribution). Truth in Television, of course. From a psychoanalytic point of view, this is called displacement, and occurs when someone who feels under attack emotionally retaliates against someone who is a better victim than the aggressor — for some reason, it is more viable to emotionally attack this new target than the aggressor. Blame the Paramour often overlaps with this; in that trope, regardless of how a cheating lover behaved, it's the new lover who is blamed, regardless of the circumstances that caused around the affair. See Murder by Mistake when this trope is taken to the extreme. |

The Super Mario Bros. Movie: Bowser blames Mario for ruining his big wedding with Peach. He conveniently ignores the fact that it was actually Peach who ruined the wedding with a hidden Ice Flower in her bouquet, and Mario only showed up at the end to rescue Luigi from falling in the lava pit. Mario wasn't even aware there was a wedding event until he reunited with Peach at the altar. | |

Bleak Expectations: Pretty much every Geoffrey Whitehead character of the week seeks vengeance on Pip Bin for murdering all the other members of their family... except Pip is rarely the one to actually kill them, even indirectly. More often than not they're done in by something of their own making or Mr. Benevolent killing them For the Evulz. Of course, it'd probably help Pip if he stopped taking the credit for their deaths. | |

RWBY: Cinder says this almost word-for-word about Neo's grudge against her for Roman Torchwick's death, before convincing her it's Ruby's fault. In reality, Torchwick himself was probably the most to blame, as he made himself a very tempting target for nearby negativity-attracted Grimm with an angry Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids! speech. Cinder and Ruby were both involved in the circumstances that led up to Roman's death (Cinder's plot is the reason Grimm were everywhere, and Ruby angered Roman by knocking Neo away), and though neither actually caused it, Neo is determined to take out her grief on someone. Subverted by Hazel Rainart. His sister Gretchen Rainart was killed by the Grimm while working for Ozpin. Hazel desires revenge, but instead of blaming the Grimm or their master, Salem, he apparently irrationally blames Ozpin, accusing him of tricking Gretchen and other children into working for him to sacrifice themselves and unable to see that Gretchen made her own choice. He even joins Salem and helps her and the Grimm kill a lot more children just to destroy Ozpin, saying every child he and his comrades kill will be on Ozpin's head. Then the episode "War" reveals that Hazel did blame Salem at first, and he attempted to kill her again and again, something she gave him the opportunity to do. Broken by the revelation that Salem had Complete Immortality, Hazel was turned against Ozpin when Salem painted him as a man senselessly throwing innocent lives away against an Invincible Villain who actually only wants to eliminate the Kingdoms and Huntsman academies that only perpetuate a hopeless war. She neglects to reveal her true goal, which is to summon the Brother Gods to pass judgment on humanity and thereby kill her as well. |

On the Dream SMP, Niki falls into this near the end of Season 2 and the first part of Season 3. Being constantly ignored, talked over, and suffering from the actions of others had taken its toll on her, which caused her to seek revenge. She targeted Tommy, seeing him as the cause of her problems, and falls into unreasonable rage (as a part of her character's arc, as confirmed by Niki the streamer herself) to the point of trying to kill him, such as by leading him into the blast zone of a nuke. Tommy's death in a later, separate incident finally got her to realize that Tommy's just as much of a victim as she is, and begins to heal from this mindset by building a new support system in the Syndicate. | |

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse: Both members of the film's Big Bad Ensemble, Miguel O'Hara/Spider-Man 2099 and Jonathan Ohm/The Spot are guilty of this when it comes to their hostility towards Miles. On Miguel's side, his disdain of Miles is on account of Miles being bitten by a spider that was brought over from Earth-42 to Miles' home dimension, resulting in the former universe becoming a Crapsack World without a Spider-Man to protect it and Earth-1610B briefly having two Spider-Men before the Peter Parker of that reality died in his efforts to shut down Kingpin's super-collider in the first movie. While some parts of Miguel's anger are well-founded, such as Miles distracting Blond Peter in his efforts to stop the collider before he was killed, he ignores the fact that Kingpin and Doctor Octopus were the ones most culpable for the Spider being brought to Miles' universe in the first place, with the former spearheading and bankrolling the construction of the super-collider so he could get replacements for his dead wife and son from another universe and the latter being the leading scientist who constructed it. On the Spot's side, he blames Miles for his current condition because Miles blowing up the collider in the first film turned him into what he is now, and says he "gave" Miles his powers due to bringing the Spider from Earth-42 while helping Olivia Octavius in the construction of the super-collider, which eventually made its way to Miles before biting him. Like Miguel, he largely overlooks Kingpin and Doctor Octopus being the reason why the collider was built in the first place, and doesn't realize Miles had no idea he was even in the collider when it went off and mutated him into what he is now because he (Miles) was focused on stopping Kingpin and shutting the machine down. Worse still, Spot never owns up to the fact that he willingly helped Octavius in the construction of the collider, chose to put himself into harm's way by entering it as it was falling apart, and tried fleeing the scene with a canister of dark matter which shattered when the collider blew up and changed him. |

Pirates SMP: On Day 106, while dragging out Cruppy to interrogate it on Monkey Island, Martyn passes Eloise on the open sea, returning to the Faction Isles. Later the same day, after being called out for his involvement in kidnapping and resorting to torturing Cruppy for information, Martyn passes by Eloise's ship again on his way back to the Isles. His response to this is to attack Eloise and Bek (also aboard at the time) for allegedly snitching on them. In reality, Graecie witnessed the kidnapping, which was what led to her and Kuervo's interference and the resultant confrontation, while Eloise is completely clueless to what Martyn is even mad about at the time. For a downplayed example, despite being completely uninvolved on a personal level, Shep has been on the receiving end of angry server-members' interrogations for being the only other Kestrel faction member online whenever Kestrel-related drama goes down, notably after Martyn steals the Sunset Stone and later crashing Water's wedding with Sausage. |

Incredibles 2: Screenslaver/Evelyn Deavors's motive is to make Supers illegal forever because she blames them for the deaths of her parents. Her father was trying to call for his Super friends, but was shot by home invaders, and her mother died of heartbreak. However, not only was it not the Supers' fault, as the law made them illegal and therefore unable to help, but she shows no anger towards the men who actually killed her father. In fact, she offers no solutions to stop crises from happening without Supers. Ultimately, she just wants to blame someone for her parents' deaths rather than do any actual good for the world. | |

The Great Ace Attorney: Kazuma Asogi catches a bad case of this when he prosecutes the final case. Kazuma's father Genshin was erroneously convicted as a Serial Killer 10 years ago, and he desires revenge on Barok van Zieks for being the prosecutor in that case... even as evidence mounts that Barok was an Unwitting Pawn who was made the prosecutor specifically because the real mastermind knew Barok was too blinded by emotion to see past the mastermind's plot to frame Genshin... and that said mastermind is currently counting on Kazuma likewise being too blinded by revenge against Barok to realize that Mael Stronghart was behind everything both of them suffered. | |

In Daughter for Dessert, Cecilia blames the protagonist for Lainie’s death, but Lainie herself eschewed the treatment that could have saved her life, and hid her illness from him until she died. If Cecilia were to blame someone other than Lainie, it would most reasonably be her father, who had cut her off prior to the whole incident. | |

In Red vs. Blue, Temple has a good reason to hate Project Freelancer (Most of the main cast are part of that particular club). However, most of its employees were doing their jobs and entirely unaware of the shadier parts of the operation, and some were victims of it themselves (Like poor Washington getting paired with Epsilon and having all of said A.I.'s mental issues dumped in his head, and Maine losing his voice and being mind raped by Sigma). The only two agents directly involved with his Start of Darkness were Tex and Carolina, but he hunted down every former agent he could find and killed them with armor lock. This includes Washington, who actually brought the project down with the help of the Blood Gulch Crew. | |

This is also Marlon Rimes's motivation for framing the orca for murder in the DLC case of Dual Destinies, "Turnabout Reclaimed". Marlon thought that the orca had killed his girlfriend, when in reality she died of a heart condition, and both the orca and the orca's predecessor were innocent. In fact, his original plan was to kill the orca, but then the victim of the case interfered. | |

Shrek 2: The Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, and King Harold's hostility to Shrek stems from the fact that Shrek rescued Fiona from the castle she was imprisoned within in the first movie, unwittingly beating Charming to the punch in rescuing her himself and screwing up the deal made between Fairy Godmother and Harold that entails Charming marrying Fiona and giving Fairy Godmother dominion over Far Far away in exchange for her turning Harold from a frog into a human. The problem is that Shrek didn't even know about the arrangement or that Fiona existed until Lord Farquaad chose Shrek's swamp as a dumping ground for the fairy tail creatures he had banished and agreed to have removed if Shrek went to rescue Fiona on his behalf so that Farquaad could ascend to kinghood. Furthermore, none of them, barring Harold (albeit once and meekly), acknowledge that the incident could've been avoided if Charming had decided to save Fiona far sooner than he did in the movie, at which point Fiona is Happily Married to Shrek and enjoying her honeymoon. | |

In The Breaker, a great deal of characters are after Han Chun Wo, also known as Goomoonryong, because he killed their master or performed some other dishonorable thing upon their martial arts school. He is a complete and utter badass upon which they have no hope of carrying out their revenge. Therefore, they prefer to target his student, Yi Shioon, which becomes particularly unfair and messed up in The Breaker: New Waves when Shioon looses his ability to use ki and becomes completely helpless, is renounced by his Master as a student and is no longer a Murim (part of the martial arts world) and should be off limits. Backfires pretty horribly on them since his Master actually started a process that would make Yi Shioon even stronger in Shioon's body (his ki center being broken was a necessary first step). After the first hundred chapters or so, they are seeing Shioon as a threat in his own right. | |

During the Yogscast miniseries Cornerstone, Smiffy of Hat Films steals Sjin's jetpack, causing Sjin to murder Ross, who wasn't even there. To make matters worse, Smiffy had actually put in another jetpack for charging, then returned the one he stole. | |

SMPLive: Joko kills both Macro and Angel after he falls into a trap set by them, believing they had a hit on him. It turns out, in actuality, that Macro was being attacked by a witch, and Angel set up the trap to catch the witch. Joko apologizes profusely and offers the duo his help. | |

In case 2 of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, Fuyuhiko and his Violently Protective Girlfriend Peko murdered Mahiru after Monokuma told them that she was involved in the death of his sister and helped Destroy the Evidence. However Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School retcons it so that Mahiru was never involved at all, and this was wholly one of Monokuma's manipulations. | |

In the tenth episode of the Markiplier Red Dead Redemption 2 playthrough, near the end of the video, Mark exits a clothing shop in Saint Denis wearing a gaudy assortment of clothing, topped off by the bear hat that Mark has been obsessed with since acquiring it. Upon exiting, he marvels at his own appearance, only for an NPC to comment, "What an appalling way to look." the exact moment Mark finishes speaking. Queue a beat. What follows is Mark issuing a sudden and brutal profanity-laden beatdown with murderous intent upon… the man standing immediately beside the man who actually insulted him. | |

When Kurt Angle brought his wife into TNA she disapproved of his Tag Team partner Sting and pretended that Sting had slapped her to break them up. However, she thought Angle went too far when he decided to go after Sting's son in revenge. | |

Ace Attorney: Any time Franziska gets offended by someone she cannot whip, she immediately whips someone nearby, often Phoenix, Edgeworth or Gumshoe. In a more serious sense, this is Godot's entire motivation; Dahlia Hawthorne poisons him and sends him into a coma for years; when he wakes up, Dahlia is on death row for a separate crime (murdering an ex-boyfriend and framing Phoenix for it), and his girlfriend Mia has been murdered. Godot blames her protege Phoenix for failing to protect her as Psychological Projection for his own self-loathing, despite neither man being in any way responsible (in fact, Phoenix caught her real killer), because both of the people he could legitimately blame — Dahlia Hawthorne and Redd White — were already out of the picture. So he becomes a prosecutor and dedicates himself to making Phoenix's days in court hell for something Phoenix never did, because justice caught up to the people he really hated before he could. He eventually kills Misty Fey as part of a plot to save Maya, when he could have done just as well just telling Phoenix... but his need to make up for failing to save Mia meant he refused to acknowledge this until too late. This is also Marlon Rimes's motivation for framing the orca for murder in the DLC case of Dual Destinies, "Turnabout Reclaimed". Marlon thought that the orca had killed his girlfriend, when in reality she died of a heart condition, and both the orca and the orca's predecessor were innocent. In fact, his original plan was to kill the orca, but then the victim of the case interfered. The Great Ace Attorney: Kazuma Asogi catches a bad case of this when he prosecutes the final case. Kazuma's father Genshin was erroneously convicted as a Serial Killer 10 years ago, and he desires revenge on Barok van Zieks for being the prosecutor in that case... even as evidence mounts that Barok was an Unwitting Pawn who was made the prosecutor specifically because the real mastermind knew Barok was too blinded by emotion to see past the mastermind's plot to frame Genshin... and that said mastermind is currently counting on Kazuma likewise being too blinded by revenge against Barok to realize that Mael Stronghart was behind everything both of them suffered. |

In Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: Joys of Seasons episode 36, Mr. Slowy is mad at Weslie, Paddi, and Sparky because he thinks they're trying to make excuses for not doing their homework. Wolffy and Wolnie come to the goats' school dressed as goats to capture Mr. Slowy, but he thinks they're the goat boys and places them in a cage with a robot that chases them — a cage and robot meant for the actual goat boys. | |

Reign of the Supermen sees Cyborg-Superman blame the real Superman for getting his shuttle crew killed rather than Darkseid, who created and sent Doomsday in the meteor that crashed into the shuttle, or himself, who stalled leaving in the hopes that Superman would save them. | |

The C4 riot in SHINE had its roots in the fact LuFisto was angry at seeing wrestlers on television use her moves and claim they had come up with them. The only wrestlers in SHINE who were on television at the time were Allysin Kay, Marti Belle and Ivelisse Vélez, none of whom were among the guilty parties, not to mention that after they got their hands on the latter C4 continued to call out and assault wrestlers in the locker room for the crimes of squeezing Kennadi Brink onto shows, Andrea not being rewarded for being in two prior stables that terrorized SHINE and Amber O'Neal's face not being on the last promotional poster. | |
