Not Evil, Just Misunderstood	comment	Villains are bad, right? They have evil plans that involve world domination, planet destruction, and kicked puppies. Not necessarily. Sometimes, what people call villains are just... misunderstood. They aren't necessarily evil or deliberately committing bad deeds, but rather, everybody around them assumes that they are the "bad guy" simply because their ideas and goals might not mesh or because they mistakenly believe them to be aiming for bad things. They might be misunderstood because of their appearance (for example, the Beast in "Beauty and the Beast"), as a result of family, by the nature of their powers, or due to circumstances outside of their control. Can also refer to characters who aren't deliberately portrayed as antagonists, but are still misunderstood in a negative light. Dark Is Not Evil is a close relative of this trope; a character who is dark but not evil is likely to be mistaken for a villain due to their scary exterior. Obliviously Evil is a subtrope (despite the name) when a character doesn't have the malevolent intent to really be considered an evil person but causes serious harm anyway because they don't understand that what they're doing is wrong. See also Justified Criminal, Anti-Villain, Tragic Villain, Misunderstood Loner with a Heart of Gold, Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds and, for nonsapient creatures, Non-Malicious Monster. Compare and contrast Hero with Bad Publicity and Good All Along. When a character decides to give in to the accusations, Then Let Me Be Evil results. Contrast Knight Templar, who believe they are righteous under cruel action, in reality anything but (in other words Not Good, Just delusional), who may commit Van Helsing Hate Crimes against species they consider "evil". Also contrast Affably Evil, when a character is actively and genuinely Evil, though their niceness is not a facade. When the fandom makes dubious or obviously wrong claims that a villain is this, it's Draco in Leather Pants. noreallife Examples

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_11b7db91	comment	Lemongrab in Adventure Time; the show's creators all insist this Trope applies to him, despite his anti-social (and at times, sociopathic) behavior (Adam Muto claims he is "just completely unadjusted to living," while Patrick Seery, says he is under the delusion that he is always right). Lemongrab is shown to be capable of actual love for his family in "It's All Your Fault" and "Mystery Dungeon" portray as a sympathetic, lonely fellow who just wants attention and affection. (Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to interact with anyone who tries to befriend him, making his attitude self-destructive.)

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_12fd5db0	comment	Megamind. The title character starts out trying to fit in, but since he is always cast as the villain and punished/ridiculed for his inventions, he decides to live up to everyone's opinion of him by actually becoming a villain. Furthermore, Megamind was literally taught that Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad by the people who raised him: prisoners in the Metro City jail! Contrast his rival Metro Man, who landed right in the middle of a rich family's home and had a good upbringing as a result. It is only natural that Megamind would become a villain and Metro Man a hero because of that when, really, neither of them wanted to be.

"Midnight" depicts the Iconians of the past as aloof Space Elves who were targeted for extinction by an alliance of lower-tech species who wanted their technology. You only learn this, however, because you originally went back in time to kill them in order to stop their invasion of the present, and when Sela kills one of them anyway, it sets up a Stable Time Loop that causes the whole conflict. However, considering that the Iconians' Historical Rap Sheet includes blowing up Romulus, fan reaction to this was... mixed.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_23945975	comment	Disney Animated Canon: The sequels to Disney's Cinderella, Cinderella II: Dreams Come True and Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, paint Anastasia, the red-headed stepsister, this way; unlike her mother and sister, she's mostly a kind person who wants to love and be loved in turn. She's largely acting under her family's influence, and with Cinderella's help, she's able to shake that and earn a happily ever after of her own. Bruno from Encanto is a prime example. He has the ability to predict the future but 10 years before the film begins, heâ€™s left the Madrigal family. When Mirabel begins asking about him, heâ€™s initially portrayed as a scary man who predicts misfortune and caused Pepa to create a hurricane by saying that â€œit looks like rainâ€� for fun. But when we actually meet him, heâ€™s actually nice and really wants to help but people misunderstand him or he inadvertently makes matters worse. Elsa from Frozen. Acts aloof and secretive, attempting to be an Emotionless Girl, for thirteen years in order to keep her powers as a literal ice queen controlled and hidden, both to avoid the reactions of others and to avoid hurting them, but it makes her look like a metaphorical one. And then she opens up the castle for her coronation day, during which a stressed Elsa lashes out, shooting ice spikes and revealing her powers, during an argument with her neglected sister Anna, who doesn't know why her family's been keeping her and the rest of them so isolated or why Elsa appears to not care about her. She flees, as unbeknownst to her, the kingdom plunges into an Endless Winter - which doesn't help the accusations. For all the other characters know, it looks as if Elsa cursed the land on purpose. Despite the argument, Anna's the only one to believe that Elsa is not the stereotypical evil witch-queen she appears to be and to realize that she's just scared.

Years ago, a freak lab accident turned Sandy into a sand monster, and so Sandman sealed him inside a stasis tube. And then Sandy gets out. The JSA and JLA rush after him, but nothing they do can slow him down (hard to land a punch on someone made of sand). Then it turns out Sandy had actually regained his faculties a few hours after his transformation, and his powers sensed an impending set of earthquakes which he was trying to prevent. He couldn't tell the others because he wasn't able to speak. Sandman is horrified to realize what his well-meaning actions put his sidekick through, and for nothing.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_261c8d3f	comment	The episode of The Simpsons "Bart After Dark" there was Belle, someone who the children all thought was some mean old witch. As it turned out, she was a lot nicer than they thought. This is also the case with many of the show's "villains" or antagonists. Ms. Krabappel and Principal Skinner seem mean, but they're actually rather nice people who started out as genuinely wanting to help children (something that still flashes through here and there), only to be beaten down by low budgets and bratty students like Bart. Others, like bully Nelson Muntz and Marge's irritating sisters Patty and Selma, have perfectly valid explanations for their unpleasant behavior, including a bad home life (Nelson) and a not-entirely misguided belief that Marge could do better than Homer (Patty and Selma). In short, the nasty characters we see on the show seem nasty because we're viewing them through the Simpsons' eyes — and given that the family has nearly destroyed the town on numerous occasions, can you really blame them? On the other hand, there's Mr. Burns, who regularly subverts this trope - while he has a few sincere Pet the Dog moments, the writers make it quite clear that he's mostly just a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk, and trying to find his inner humanity generally ranges from pointless to outright dangerous.

In fact, most of the horrible mutations, wicked experiments and otherworldly horror you encounter was brought to the world by humans who foolishly tinkered with the Great Ones' blood and knowledge. In fact, it is stated that the Great Ones are actually sympathetic towards humanity, and quite a few of the Great Ones you meet and perhaps slay are trying to fix humanity's mess.

Yes, they are ruthless and militaristic, but their war against humans in the first game was a struggle to reclaim their occupied homeland, and the human propaganda painting them as loving to enslave and eat humans was precisely that - propaganda. There is some truth to it, however. Under the leadership of the Gold (Flame) Legion's shamans, the Charr have done everything human propaganda claimed they did. The players get to experience some of it in the first game. The trope only applies to Charr as a whole, as most of them would not go that far.

In his third appearance, his AI is matured into that of a young adult, and after the turtles free him from his foreign programming, he reforms as a Justice Force hero and thanks the turtles for their help, whilst apologizing for the trouble he caused them in his two previous appearances.

Although many had seen him and were sure he was a malignant predator, none of them could agree on any details. (In truth, all they had ever seen were his eyes.) The Tingler was actually just a hermit who lived in the mountains, and while he was a big, muscular guy, he would never hurt a fly; when trouble did threaten the town, he actually saved the day.

It's revealed that she's actually another rabbit-girl like Erina, who founded the group out of loneliness, wanting to find another bunny like herself. Erina getting transformed into a bunny-girl was a dream come true for her, but she was so socially awkward that she couldn't bring herself to approach her, and her guilt over her organization getting out of control and causing problems for Erina, as well as past jealousy towards Rumi for being Erina's master, leads her to conclude that she's not worthy of Erina's love and try to isolate herself, turning the True Final Boss fight against her into a Save the Villain moment.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: Snape comes across as a 'bad guy' due to his appearance and personality, plus the later ambiguity of what side he's on. However in the series overall it becomes obvious that, at least on the scale of "good versus evil", he's one of the good guys. However he's not entirely misunderstood, as he is still a major Jerkass who took pleasure in bullying his students, including an 11-year-old Harry because of who his father was and Neville, just because he was an easy target. Much of his motivation for being a good guy is getting back at Voldemort for killing his unrequited love Lily Potter, not because he actually cares about anyone else. Good is Not Nice is definitely in play, and he has ended up being one of the most well-liked characters in the entire series. In addition, Sirius Black was initially believed to be an unrepentant traitor to the titular character's parents. Sirius proves to the main characters that he is on their side by revealing the real killer of Harry's parents, although the general wizarding world continues to see him as a murderer throughout the series. Slytherin House could be considered this as well. Slytherin values ambition, and cunning, produces the majority of dark wizards. However, it is not evil itself, and according to JKR, most Slytherins are not evil and there are examples of Slytherins who are good, such as Snape, Slughorn, who is shown to be a good teacher and a nice man, and Andromeda Tonks, who went against her family's racism and helped the Order of the Phoenix in the last book. There's also the fact that Merlin, considered the greatest wizard of all time, was also a Slytherin, but all records of him are of being good and even a champion for muggles' rights. Probably the biggest reason Slytherin gets a bad rap, quite simply, is because Voldemort was a Slytherin student. The founder of the House being a prejudiced antisocial who hid a monster in the bowels of the school can't have helped. In the end even series-wide jerkass Draco Malfoy turns out to not have it in him to be evil, even when he genuinely tries. Also, at no point in the books or films is it ever stated that Voldemort's minions and the Death Eaters are exclusively Slytherin; for all we know, there could be Gryffindors among them too (Peter Pettigrew aka Wormtail being one example). In fact, in the first book, the Sorting Hat actually thought Slytherin might have been the best House for Harry, thinking that the focus on ambition fit him well (which few would deny) and in a later book, still stood by that opinion. It didn't because Harry asked it not to. Dumbledore thought differently, however, saying in Chamber of Secrets that only a student who had been favored by Godric Gryffindor himself could have pulled his Sword out of the Hat, as he did in the fight with the basilisk. (Well, the qualities aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. By all accounts, the founders of the school were friends and allies and shared a mutual respect, given that Gryffindor would have gladly lent his blade to his buddy Salazar. Embodying the core ideals of Slytherin would in no way prevent his blue Jedi ghost from approving you.)

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_3ca84d57	comment	In Tantei Team KZ Jiken Note, Sunahara's reputation of being a Japanese Delinquent comes from being arrested twice on the suspicion of beating an adult and gang activity, despite being cleared of any wrongdoing in either case. And after the second arrest, he already knew his reputation is so bad that he has to leave after confirming his feelings towards Aya. Strangely, on a meta sense, this trope helps to make up a "bad boy" for the All Girls Want Bad Boys trope, with enough street cred, while keeping him pure enough as Aya's Love Interest in this G-rated series.

Since he is an angel rather than a demon, he must acquire the willing consent of the human who will be his vessel. He claims himself as the ultimate example of this trope as part of his argument to persuade his chosen human to agree to become his vessel. Subverted as he is really evil all along.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_44445bd1	comment	Fred Claus has the Corrupt Corporate Executive Clyde Northcutt, an agent sent to the North Pole to try and shut it down if it isn't operating correctly. Clyde actively sabotages the operation, and gets the shutdown started. During the climax of the film, Santa Claus (having had a talk with his brother), has a conversation with Clyde. Clyde was on the Naughty List in 1968, and due to this Santa didn't deliver him a Superman cape as a child... but was he really "naughty"? Rethinking the situation out loud, the reason Clyde was on the Naughty List was because he was getting in fights. Clyde was getting in fights because people were mocking his glasses. Clyde was being bullied, and reacted to his bullying with violence. Worst yet, Clyde wanted the Superman Cape for a sense of self-empowerment, and since Santa is a factual known entity in this world, he would have been able to deliver it. Santa didn't deliver it, so this bullied boy gave up his Christmas cheer and slowly grew into a corrupt executive who didn't care about a world that didn't care about him. Clyde doesn't want to shut down the North Pole because he's absolutely evil, Clyde is doing this as a form of revenge against someone who wasn't there for him when he needed it. Ultimately Santa apologizes, and gives him a Superman cape as a peace offering. Clyde isn't fazed at first, but eventually does forgive Santa and realizes he needs to stop the shutdown and assure Christmas stays. In the end, Clyde is hired by Santa, due to his efficiency at his current job, as a manager for the North Pole.

At first, it seems to be an Artifact of Doom with near limitless powers of darkness, and the heroes are outmatched by the villains... Until they manage to shanghai control of it and use it against the villains themselves. How could the heroes possibly harness such dark power, after Sinestro muses after they beat the crud out of them? They figured out that the thing wasn't evil at all. It was True Neutral, and like any such weapon, it can only be used for evil "in the wrong hands", so to speak. (Of course, it's still dangerous and the episode ends with the heroes still in possession of it; much like any loose end in that series, we can only guess what they did with the thing.)

The scary gem monsters turn out to be corrupted gems who are more confused and frightened victims of circumstance than villains. Peridot turns out to be less a malevolent villain and more of an awkward, lower-rank technician who switched sides once exposed to the earthling viewpoint. On the other hand, while knowing Jasper's issues with the Earth and Rose Quartz (from the moment of her birth on Earth she had to fight in a vicious war for its future that Rose Quartz started) makes her more sympathetic, it doesn't change the fact that she defiantly remained a villain when given multiple chances to change. Yellow Diamond so far seems to be the only character to outright defy this trope when she makes it perfectly clear that she doesn't care what resources the Earth might have, she just wants it wiped off her starcharts already.

Not Evil, Just Misunderstood / int_7988cb68	comment	Mass Effect: Most Geth just want to be left alone, and the ones you fight in Mass Effect are actually a splinter group that worship the Reapers. This is especially true in Mass Effect 3, when geth memories of the Morning War depict them in an extremely sympathetic light, depicting the quarians as Neglectful Precursors or even Abusive Precursors. They spared the fleeing quarian survivors and want peace with them. Unfortunately, the splinter group running around wreaking havoc, and their Blue-and-Orange Morality, mean they are all painted as monsters. Cerberus try to sell themselves as this to Shepard in 2. In 1 they were shown to be in possession of a number of Morally Ambiguous Doctorates, performing experiments on humans and rachni, for example, as part of their super-soldier research. Admittedly, they do accomplish some good deeds in the sequel — their leader, the Illusive Man, has Shepard brought Back from the Dead and replaces the old Normandy with a bigger, better version, as well as showing the pragmatism to reach out to qualified specialists who happen to be aliens for help. And considering the Council brush off Shepard's warnings about the Reapers and dismiss the secrets you uncovered about them during the first game as an idiotic Snipe Hunt fuelled by Saren's delusional ramblings, it's refreshing that Cerberus believe you and provide you with the means to fight them. Still, "try" is the key-word — the experiments from the first game get mentioned sometimes and all your old buddies are skeptical of them, ranging from "I don't trust them but I do trust you" to "I won't work with you as long as you're working with them". Furthermore, it's revealed in 3 that the crew you were working with in 2 was hand-picked to seem decent and non-evil — TIM up there deliberately kept the less pleasant elements of his organisation away from Shepard to ensure their cooperation.

People who recognize the aura of inherently dangerous magic about El for what it is (rather than being vaguely repelled by her without knowing quite why) often conclude that she is an active practitioner of The Dark Arts who is incompetent or careless enough to 'leak,' where in reality the aura is due to her OH DEAR GOD RUN level potential for The Dark Arts that she spends her days obsessively keeping contained. In The Last Graduate it is revealed, or at least strongly implied, that the Scholomance itself is this. It has genuinely internalized the propagandistic original mission statement "To offer sanctuary and protection to all the wise-gifted children of the world," and while it is inhuman enough to tolerate the 75% attrition rate and general misery for want of ability to do better (due mainly to the persistent malifectra infestation and overall lack of mantainance/resources) when it comes across a student that may be both willing and able to help improve the odds either within it or outside where parents still willingly send their kids from... it tests them to destruction to see if they measure up.

In reality, the angels are actually the evil ones, their scheme was to take the witches out of the picture so they could claim the Left Eye of Darkness from the Umbra, resurrect Jubileus (Mundus' "Holy" counterpart), who would then destroy everything and start over.

Acts aloof and secretive, attempting to be an Emotionless Girl, for thirteen years in order to keep her powers as a literal ice queen controlled and hidden, both to avoid the reactions of others and to avoid hurting them, but it makes her look like a metaphorical one. And then she opens up the castle for her coronation day, during which a stressed Elsa lashes out, shooting ice spikes and revealing her powers, during an argument with her neglected sister Anna, who doesn't know why her family's been keeping her and the rest of them so isolated or why Elsa appears to not care about her. She flees, as unbeknownst to her, the kingdom plunges into an Endless Winter - which doesn't help the accusations. For all the other characters know, it looks as if Elsa cursed the land on purpose. Despite the argument, Anna's the only one to believe that Elsa is not the stereotypical evil witch-queen she appears to be and to realize that she's just scared.

Star Trek: Voyager: In "In The Flesh", Voyager's crew and Species 8472 discover that they view each other this way: Janeway outright acknowledges once she is finally able to open a dialogue that at the time she aligned with the Borg in "Scorpion", she didn't have a complete understanding of the reality of the situation and didn't discover until after she had already committed Voyager to the Borg's assistance that it was the Borg who started the fight. Species 8472 has little real understanding of the complexities of the political situation outside their space. They had no idea Voyager was so far from home, or that Starfleet can't casually send ships across the Delta Quadrant to attack them. Nor can they comprehend that not all species are as aggressively expansionist as the Borg.

It didn't because Harry asked it not to. Dumbledore thought differently, however, saying in Chamber of Secrets that only a student who had been favored by Godric Gryffindor himself could have pulled his Sword out of the Hat, as he did in the fight with the basilisk. (Well, the qualities aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. By all accounts, the founders of the school were friends and allies and shared a mutual respect, given that Gryffindor would have gladly lent his blade to his buddy Salazar. Embodying the core ideals of Slytherin would in no way prevent his blue Jedi ghost from approving you.)

Absol is probably the most well-known example. It's feared because of allegedly causing natural disasters, but it's actually predicting those disasters and trying to warn people. PokÃ©mon Sun and Moon takes this concept and runs with it. Team Skull, who certainly look evil are just a bunch of wannabe-thugs with low self-esteem and a silly attitude, and the Ultra Beasts, instrumental as they are to the goals of the real bad guys from the Aether Foundation, don't seem to act on anything but instinct. PokÃ©mon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon downplays it with Necrozma. It does have genuinely malicious intentions towards humans, but it does have a pretty good reason for it. Greedy humans injured it while trying to steal its light, so now it can't hold onto any light it absorbs, leaving it in constant pain. Essentially, Necrozma is acting out of both spite and survival instinct. PokÃ©mon Scarlet and Violet: The Teal Mask: Most people in Mossuri Village fear Ogerpon as a terrifying ogre that steals people's souls. Only the mask-maker's descendants know the truth at first: people shunned it due to its unusual appearance, and it only killed the Loyal Three because they stole its masks that helped it fit in.

Despite this, he is just a creature who needs food to survive like any other, although his meals tend to be rather large and some of them are sentient, like Falcor. He gives Atreyu some helpful advice; he must measure his quest in terms of her life and not his, which means he can't afford to take months or years to find her a cure. He even gives Atreyu the means to reach the Southern Oracle instantly, although the means are fatal; his poison bite allows the victim to teleport to anywhere their heart desires. Ygramul can't help this as it's simply his nature, and he suggests that it's still a better deal than sitting around waiting for the Childlike Empress to die and The Nothing to overtake all of Fantastica.

Treadwell learned this lesson too late.

As we learn more about Rama it becomes learn these are another sentient species like humans, kept as part of the Raman zoo.The octospiders (in book 3) appear as completely terrifying and antagonistic. Later we learn that they can be friendly, and have a technologically advanced society, plus empathy. But before that, they kidnap a human and as of book 3, he has not gotten over whatever experiments they performed on him while he was captive. The characters still ally with the octospiders at times.

Deoxys is a powerful alien virus that puts an entire city under captivity... but it was really looking for his friend. Darkrai is a shadowy-looking creature who gives nightmares through its sheer presence... but it's really a softie, even after being hounded as a bad guy by Alamos Town, and its nightmares are revealed to be warnings of the larger threat of Dialga and Palkia. Giratina is an Eldritch Abomination who seemingly wants to eat Shaymin... but really it just wanted to use its Seed Flare to leave the Reverse World at will and means no harm otherwise. Kyurem is a Super-Persistent Predator who hunts Keldeo down to the ends of the region... but only because it wanted to finish a fight between the two of them, and it has no ill-will towards anything otherwise. The Genesect Army are (mostly) violent cyborgs who forcibly evict several PokÃ©mon out of their home so they can live in it instead... but ultimately, all they want is to go home, which seems to excuse all their actions beforehand.

In the story, a Magpie commits a series of robberies, but when she gets captured by the main detective protagonists, she claims to be innocent. The animals put her on a trial, with Coco bird as the main witness. At the end of the trial, two birds appear as surprise witnesses, thinking it's a trial for the Coco and hoping she finally faces the justice. In the end, Hip-Hip (who plays the role of the judge) says both Magpie and Coco are innocent, since they can't control their actions which are a result of their natural instincts, so they can't be considered evil since there is no malice in their actions.

As it turns out, they were looking for an interpreter to talk to humans, but no one fit the bill until Stone. They wish to explain that killing the Grandfather Tree will doom all trees across the world, which wasn't a problem until the government removed the forest's protected status a few years before. The DOSA agents agree to reinstate the status, and the Tree gives the Librarians its acorn for storage. Then the trees release everyone they have abducted over the centuries.

For example, Dr. Frankenstein genuinely wants to improve the world and shows genuine regret for creating the Monster; the Monster himself acts more like an enraged animal than an actual evil person (at least at first); Larry Talbot, The Wolf Man, is a sympathetic figure who is more of a hero figure than a villain (especially in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein); and Bride of Frankenstein is often classified as a villain despite the fact she was only alive for about five minutes and did little more than hiss at the Monster.
