Motive Misidentification	comment	Basically, this trope is when a character comes to an erroneous conclusion about a villain's motives based on the villain's actions. While the Big Bad is certainly still a villain, how they truly intend to go about it or why they are going about it in the first place turns out to be something for which everyone else's suspicions were way off the mark. Sometimes the motivation might be different but just as twisted. And sometimes, the evil scheme isn't actually an evil scheme at all. In either case, the Big Bad didn't try to fool the hero, or leave a false trail, or otherwise trick them in any way. No, with this trope, the heroes were fooling themselves all along. This happens a lot when your hero is either too eager... or simply an Idiot Hero. Sometimes though, it's because the heroes only bore witness to certain pieces of information without access to the remaining pieces. Sometimes the result of paying attention to the Red Herring. Compare Hidden Agenda Villain (the villain is concealing their true intentions) and Falsely Reformed Villain (the villain tricks the hero into mistaking legitimate activites for nefarious ones in order to make the hero look bad and make themself look like an innocent victim). Contrast Evil Plan for a more obvious motive (though this trope still might occur), and Disappointed by the Motive, when the reaction of the heroes to this trope (and on those examples it's because the motive is a lot more petty and/or mundane than the plot probably hinted at so far) is pretty much them going "huh?". See also Not Me This Time and Minor Crime Reveals Major Plot. Compare Right for the Wrong Reasons. This is an Ending Trope, so expect UNMARKED SPOILERS.

Motive Misidentification / int_117116ef	comment	The Penguins of Madagascar: In the episode "An Elephant Never Forgets", after helping Burt the Elephant sneak out of the zoo for personal reasons, the penguins discover that Burt had a creepy-looking chart tracing the life of a man who was once called Kid Kazoo, a zoo regular who used to torment him with his kazoo, with the Penguins believing that Burt wanted revenge. The penguins arrive at the man's office to what looks like Burt trying to attack him and try to stop the elephant, but to no avail. It then turns out that Burt was trying to return the man's kazoo, having taken it from his pocket years ago and felt so guilty about it that he spent all that time tracking him down to give it back. Skipper points out that Burt could've just told them that, with the elephant replying that he was too sheepish.

However, Arpeggio soon reveals that he actually wants to use the Clockwerk parts for immortality. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time: It initially seems that Le Paradox's motive for targeting the Cooper gang was getting revenge for his father being arrested for a heist that Sly's father pulled. During the Final Boss fight, Sly questions him on this and Le Paradox reveals that he didn't actually care about his father getting arrested and the reason he stole the canes of Sly's ancestors was because he wanted to prove he was a better thief than them. Sly is Disappointed by the Motive and gives Le Paradox a "The Reason You Suck" Speech for blowing his cover to the gang and Interpol and ruining successful operation as a black market art dealer just to satisfy his ego.

Motive Misidentification / int_1a1fe2a8	comment	Die Hard: In the orignal Die Hard, the LAPD and FBI are led to believe Hans Gruber and his men are terrorists, holding the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage in exchange for numerous terrorist prisoners being released, though the hero John McClane isn't fooled and immediately realizes that they are up to something else when he hears their "demands". In reality, Hans is deliberately leading the FBI to believe this, as the FBI's protocols for dealing with a terrorist threat are exactly what he needs to rob the place, and get away with the cash. This is repeated with Hans' brother Simon in Die Hard with a Vengeance where he first tricks authorities to believe that he's a terrorist who wants revenge on McClane, but is actually using the confusion to set up a huge robbery. The fact that he would also get revenge on the cop who killed his brother is just icing on the cake. He then almost convinces the world that he carried out the robbery in order to destroy the gold rather than keep it, which as a mercenary he has actually been paid to do. In this case, blowing up the gold was the actual Evil Plan, but Simon being part of a Big Bad Duumvirate (with Middle Eastern radicals) decided to make some changes to that part of the scheme.

The Question thinks Lex was trying to discredit the League in order to win the presidency; a Lex Luthor from an alternate universe had done this, killed the Flash, leading to that universe's League going rogue and becoming Evil Overlords. Question went to kill Luthor (because he was known to be insane, so the League's reputation wouldn't suffer as much); unfortunately, Luthor reveals he has superpowers, and proceeds to beat the tar out of the Question, at the same time revealing his whole presidential bid was just a ruse to tick Superman off. The Question wasn't even close. His actual plan? To continually pit the government agent backing him and the League against each other, so as to distract both from his development of a machine to give himself A.M.A.Z.O.'s nigh-godlike superpowers. And then it turns out not even Luthor knew his own motives, as his entire thought process was being influenced by Brainiac, who wanted a new body.

The title character (a parody of Captain Planet) shows up at a protest against fracking and mistakenly assumes that "fracking" is a euphemism for sex, and that the protesters are religious fundamentalists protesting the right of the (male) businessmen to "frack" each other. Only after he sends the protesters flying into the sun does his nemesis, Uberman, explain to him that fracking (a.k.a hydraulic fracturing) was actually a controversial form of natural gas drilling, and that the Corrupt Corporate Executives he defended were now free to pollute the water as they saw fit.

Motive Misidentification / int_34caa86d	comment	As one would guess from its title, the procedural drama Motive uses this, as the start of each episode tells the audience who is the killer and flashbacks show events leading to the murder. The final flashback, however, will often show the motive for the killing being different than what the audience was led to believe. A limo driver seemed to have killed a cop to defend his girlfriend. It turns out the driver found out the two were in cahoots for a con on him. A woman appears to have murdered a high-class call girl for having an affair with her ex-husband. It turns out the call girl had discovered the woman was running a Ponzi scheme and was killed to keep it quiet. A pilot appears to have been balancing two women at once and killed one girlfriend to prevent her from telling his fiancÃ©e. It turns out the "girlfriend" was a stalker who he killed in self-defense when she attacked him in a rage. A family man is murdered by someone who then kidnaps the man's daughter. It turns out to be the girl's real father as the "victim" had kidnapped her years before. A unique case has the wife of a pro athlete killed. It turns out she was a trans woman who faked her death with the help of her then-wife before transitioning. Said alleged widow is more frantic about the secret being revealed and her ex assumes it's because of how it will give them bad press. In reality, she is worried the insurance company will want back the million dollars she got off the life insurance policy she put out on her ex's old identity. It's this, more than the public reaction, that drives her to kill her ex. In "Fallen Angel", a priest who has managed to kept his Church from financial ruin is killed by an unemployed chef known as a perennial loser as a result of Parental Abandonment. Everyone thinks it was because the priest knew about the $2 million in diamonds the chef's father stole a long time ago. The chef couldn't care less about the diamonds; he killed the priest because he never told him that his father has died years ago and, therefore, he did not abandon him as a child. If the priest would have just told him, then maybe the chef would have not grown to be a loser.

Kryten immediately dismisses this justice system as an excuse to get rid of people the government doesn't like, which is true to an extent but isn't the main reason behind the corruption. The whole thing's part of a scam: the GELF State needs explicitly innocent volunteers in order to create a gestalt entity for their terraforming program, and have arranged a system in which they can be convicted of imaginary crimes and coerced into signing away their lives.

Superman: The Animated Series: In "Fun and Games", Lois Lane publishes an article about the Toyman in which she interviewed a psychologist who describes him as merely a gimmicky criminal. Later, he abducts her and shares his story about why he's been targeting the gangster Bruno Mannheim: the Toyman's father, Winslow Schott Sr., was given money by Mannheim to start a toy factory, but Mannheim used it as a front for a numbers racket, and when the police busted it, Schott was arrested and sent to prison while Mannheim escaped indictment. Batman Beyond: In "Hidden Agenda", both Terry and Maxine assume that she's being targeted by the Jokerz because she was working on a program that could identify them. The truth is they targeted her just because she had a higher grade on a test than one of their members. Additionally, Maxine thinks Terry is one of the Jokerz trying to get her, when in fact, Terry's the new Batman and it's one of their classmates who's after her. She becomes a Secret-Keeper to Terry when she learns the truth. In the Justice League Unlimited episode "Question Authority", the Question confronts Lex Luthor about Luthor's current evil scheme.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Harry and most likely everyone else assumes the heir of Slytherin has reopened the Chamber to carry out Salazar Slytherin's mission to purge Hogwarts of Muggle-borns. When Harry meets the Heir of Slytherin, Tom Riddle a.k.a. Voldemort, he explains that his target all along has been Harry. All the near-killings were bait (though since it's Voldemort, had any of the Muggle-borns died he would've considered that an added plus). Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban: Everyone believes that the reason Sirius Black escaped from Azkaban prison and traveled to Hogwarts is to kill Harry. It turns out he actually broke out to protect Harry because he discovered that Peter Pettigrew, the one who actually sold Harry's parents to Voldemort and framed Sirius for it, has disguised himself as Ron's pet rat Scabbers, waiting for the right moment to bring Harry to Voldemort. Also in Goblet of Fire, the heroes initially suspect that someone entered Harry's name in the Triwizard tournament in order to get him killed while competing. The truth is quite the opposite: Barty Crouch Jr. intends for Harry to win the tournament and claim the trophy in the center of the maze which has been transformed into a Portkey, sending him into a trap so his blood can be used to resurrect Voldemort, without anyone being any the wiser as to where he's gone. In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, when Snape kills Dumbledore, it's easy to assume that he did it because he's been Evil All Along. The fact that he's acting on Dumbledore's orders never occurs to anybody, though this is largely because he needs to look like Voldemort's loyal servant rather than the Double Reverse Quadruple Agent he really is.

Majd Addin corrects AltaÃ¯r by telling him he did it because he could and because it was fun. This is what AltaÃ¯r used to think about assassinating, before he was demoted to novice and forced to kill powerful people with basic equipment as penance for his arrogance. So he stabs Majd in the neck twice.

The humans also possess a small but potent number of A.I.s known as Savants... who, it turns out, are able to merge with the terraforming microbe and use it as a neural network. The ending narration of the game reveals that the Savants completely misunderstood the scenario and assumed that humanity had spread the microbe on purpose, as a way of freeing the Savants and letting them ascend to virtual godhood as a planet-sized supercomputer. In return, they promise to dedicate a portion of their newfound mental resources specifically to improving or creating various technologies that would be useful to humans, and sending the plans to humanity wherever they ultimately decide to go.

Betty is thrown when her mother joins a weird cult run by Edgar and claims to have seen her long-dead son in person. Betty figures this is a run-of-the-mill "trick them out of their money" scam and enlists the aid of Cheryl and Toni. To her shock, each woman joins the cult for real, both claiming to have seen long-dead family members in person. Betty herself is thrown when, after a meeting with Edgar, she comes face-to-face with her own "dark persona". She soon realizes the true insane plot: Edgar is hypnotizing people into seeing loved ones to bind them to him. He then convinces them that only by undergoing a procedure can they be freed of this pain. The "procedure" is really harvesting them for organs which Edgar can sell on the black market, meaning this entire thing is one ridiculously elaborate organ-selling plot.

In reality, the fact that all the murders that occurred since he arrivednote That he knew about in Sandford were tangentially connected to a land swindle was a coincidence. They were really taking place because the victims were a threat to the town's title of "Village of the Year"....and they had been going on for years, with scores and scores of victims, and an entire conspiracy of murderers. Note that many of the movie's deleted scenes would have served to further expand on that Red Herring and explain how it was going on.

However, their pre-existing distrust of him, combined with his acting ability and tendency to keep his motives to himself, have the effect of convincing them that his motives are a mad quest for power. In truth, he wants to exterminate the Frost Giants because he thinks Odin will approve. Whether that's better or worse probably depends on your view of the Frost Giants. In subsequent films, his motives are a simple quest for power. In Iron Man 3, Tony, Pepper, and Rhodey come to believe that Aldrich Killian is selling his Extremis regeneration technology to The Mandarin to cause terrorist attacks. It turns out that the "attacks" are unplanned and a result of the faulty regeneration technology; Killian uses this to his benefit by pinning the explosions on a fictional version of The Mandarin played by actor Trevor Slattery, and uses the fear surrounding them as a way to become more powerful. The Maximoff twins misidentify Ultron's motives, as well as his plan, in Avengers: Age of Ultron at first, much to their regret.

Then the player finds out that due to the Insane Troll Logic of a rogue AI from a billion or so years ago, the Reapers claim to be preserving advanced life from extinction by liquefying members of the galaxy's dominant species to make new Reapers while leaving primitive species alone to develop, only to repeat the process every 50,000 years. Just so that advanced species don't create synthetic life that will possibly make all organics life go extinct.

Turns out, he was actually in on the whistleblowing, but turned on her over a disagreement about what to do with the reward money they'd get from a successful action against their employer (a pharmaceutical company pushing an expensive, but near-useless cancer drug with false advertising); she wanted to donate it to charity, and he was livid because he felt he deserved to keep a cut for himself.

When Bond is held captive by Goldfinger, he tells him that it's impossible to try to steal all the gold from Fort Knox as that would take too much time and effort. But Goldfinger replies "Who mentioned anything about removing it?", sharing that his true plan is to nuke the gold so that the value of his own stockpile would skyrocket.

It's when they're close to breaking through that the underlings double-check the map and realize they're digging in the wrong place. At which point, Halston shows up to kill them both. It turns out he's actually having them break into the vault of a weapons company. Halston had designed a groundbreaking weapon for them, only to have them steal it out from under him and refuse to give him credit. Halston is getting back his invention to sell to the highest bidder, less for the money and more so everyone knows what he created.

It's only right before the final battle that he reveals he's actually trying to reunite with the Zero Emblem, his Only Friend from the past, who vanished from this universe but might exist in another. Interestingly for this trope, this reveal doesn't make the heroes any more inclined to sympathize with him, as he still treated an entire world's destruction, along with the deaths of his own children, as merely a "stepping stone".

The racism was publicized so that it would look like his sister dying was a hate crime and not a bid for family fortunes. One poor mage is forced to try and kill the Demon Bunny Tharka, or let his friends die (since his magic is connected to them, he can't commit suicide). They order him to make it look like he's just another crazy mage on a roll.

In "Atomic City", the assumption is that Flynn wants to do something to JFK, who was in Vegas at the time. In reality, Flynn wants to get his hands on a plutonium core in order to create a nigh-limitless battery for his time machine. In "Stranded", they think that Flynn wants to alter the course of the French and Indian War. In fact, it's a trap. Flynn and his people lure them to 1754, then damage the Lifeboat in order to strand them in the past. In "The Capture of Benedict Arnold", the initial assumption is that Flynn wants to mess with the Revolutionary War and/or kill George Washington. While Flynn does threaten to kill Washington if they refuse to work with him, his real plan is to find the origins of Rittenhouse and, possibly, end the Ancient Conspiracy before it even starts. In "The Day Reagan Was Shot", the team assumes that Ronald Reagan is the target. The real target is young Denise Christopher, the woman who brought the team together in the first place. Interestingly, modern day Christopher realizes who the real target is as soon as she's told the date and time, but the Lifeboat team has already departed by that point.

Crono and company set off to defeat Magus and prevent him from triggering the end of the world; unfortunately, it turns out that Magus was actually trying to destroy Lavos all along, and they interrupt him just in time to hasten Lavos' awakening, putting the world on schedule for destruction in 1999 AD.note Since the end of the world happens in 1999 AD even without the intervention of the heroes, and Magus disappears after this point in the original timeline, general assumption is that in the original version of events, Magus only managed to weaken Lavos and was incinerated in the process.

The villain initially plays along with this assumption. After Raiden destroys his Metal Gear, he figures that Raiden deserves to know his real goal and gives a Motive Rant while delivering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown. He's actually a Social Darwinist who hates War for Fun and Profit, and he wants to tear down America and rebuild it as a nation where everyone is free to fight for what they believe following no law other than their own will. Raiden amends his earlier opinion of the man, saying "You're not greedy... you're BATSHIT INSANE!"

Players weren't wrong to think that Zero wanted to take revenge on the Cradle Pharmaceutical higher-ups for creating the first Nonary Game. That was indeed Zero's goal, just not the primary goal. The real reason Zero orchestrated the events of the game was to activate Junpei's psychic powers in order to send information to the past that Zero, as Akane, needed to survive the first Nonary Game.

Turns out that Father had a much darker goal, namely using the module to restore Grandfather's memories and powers. Grandfather, who literally survived the plummet of "a gazillion tons of red hot metal and duct tape", mocks Numbuh Zero for thinking it could actually crush him. Zero retort that they actually weren't trying to crush him. They only wanted to get him into the now-crashed room where they house the decommissioning chamber. Grandfather is only able to make a "Facing the Bullets" One-Liner before the chamber wipes his memory again.

The fact that he's acting on Dumbledore's orders never occurs to anybody, though this is largely because he needs to look like Voldemort's loyal servant rather than the Double Reverse Quadruple Agent he really is.

Motive Misidentification / int_fdbace96	comment	In Gravity Falls, for the majority of the series, Grunkle Stan's true nature is ambiguous, and becomes even more questionable in the first season finale when we learn of a mysterious machine he has in a secret underground lab. This culminates in "Not What He Seems", when upon learning about the machine, Dipper becomes convinced that Stan is really a villain and might not even be his and Mabel's real great-uncle. It then turns out that Stan is on the level; the machine was a powerful-yet-risky portal that he was using to try and bring back his brother Ford, the Author of the Journals, after he was thrown into the multiverse almost thirty years ago. Upon learning this, Dipper apologizes for doubting him, with Stan admitting that everything did seem suspect.

It eventually comes out that she did do it, but not out of hate; they made their peace with each other, and then he asked her to Mercy Kill him and she did. In "The Good Soldier", The detectives think that the killer killed Army recruiter Mike Donley for wanting to turn her in to the authorities for a robbery. Actually, the killer was ashamed about the robbery and was willing to turn herself in, but then felt betrayed and abandoned upon hearing that Mike was about to leave on another overseas tour leading to A Tragedy of Impulsiveness murder.
