A Sub-Trope of External Retcon, in which somebody takes a known — often classic — story, and retells it, turning it on its head. What you thought was the villain is now taken as a protagonist, and is portrayed with a greater degree of sympathy. The heroes of the story as best known might not come across so well in this telling. Usually, the villain is presented as a smart, insightful, dedicated but tragically flawed character who may lack the charisma, empathy or social standing required to get support from other people and society in general, while the heroes are too naive, shortsighted or selfish to see the ultimate consequences of their "heroic" deeds. They may mean well, but as they say about the road to hell... The complete inversion/reinterpretation (where the villain is the real hero and vice versa) is rarer, but in both cases, the impact of the story derives from the fact that we know who's supposed to be good and who's supposed to be bad, and this story upsets this. This is not the same as original stories on the extreme end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, where everything is morally ambiguous and no characters can be said to be good or bad per se; here the writer is deliberately playing with our expectations. Can overlap with Grimmification, but it doesn't have to be a fairy tale, and Grimmification doesn't always feature a hero-villain flip. Doing this to a whole cosmology can lead to Satan Is Good. Expect a story like this to be Darker and Edgier in proportion to the original's simplicity as well as elements of deconstruction which kinda helps the whole story be told. Do keep in mind the possibility of an Unreliable Narrator, if this is done from the first person POV. Compare (and/or contrast) with "Rashomon"-Style, Villain Episode, Sympathetic P.O.V., Humans Are Cthulhu, Lower-Deck Episode, Monster Adventurers, Another Side, Another Story, P.O.V. Sequel, and Adaptational Sympathy. Contrast Adaptational Protagonist, when either non-antagonists acquire the main lead role. May appear in Ron the Death Eater fanworks. May contain spoilers, both for the Perspective Flipped and original versions of a story. Not to be confused with Perspective Reversal. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Heracles and his men betrayed the Amazons' trust after entering Themyscira as a friend and seducing their queen by drugging and enslaving them. While a sect of the Amazons went a little kill crazy after escaping, Heracles and his men raped and made sex slaves of them so their reaction is quite sympathetic to a modern audience. | |

Continuum has the supplement Narcissist: Crash Free. In Continuum, Narcissists are the villains of the setting, fools and madmen who imperil the Continuum's future society with their attempts to alter history to reflect their selfish desires. In Narcissist, "crashers" (as they prefer to be called) are La Résistance, bravely standing against the Swarm (their term for the Continuum), a soulless and regimented Dystopia that refuses to use its technology to Set Right What Once Went Wrong. | |

The French film He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not spends its first half following Angélique, a young art student having an affair with a married cardiologist named Loïc. The perspective later flips to Loïc, and we learn that Angélique is an obsessive psychotic stalker and Loïc doesn't even know who she is. | |

Episode 5 of Symphogear focuses on the Nehushtan Armor, named Chris, who was already established as an antagonist in the previous two episodes. Her life is constantly ruined by her Yandere superior, who tortures her on an Elfen Lied scale. Failing the last mission resulted in an extended electrified torture. | |

In one chapter of the The Saga of Tanya the Evil manga, it shows the Franc Republic finally having a glimpse of the infamous Devil of the Rhine, Tanya, herself. Unlike how in the previous episode which shows Tanya's insane rant against the Republic, the orb instead shows the Jeanne d'Archétype personality that Tanya develops the more she prays to Being X. | |

Two Looney Tunes cartoons, The Trial of Mr. Wolf and The Turn-Tale Wolf, retold the fairy tales of "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Three Little Pigs" respectively, from the wolf's point of view. In both cases, the wolf turns out to be an Unreliable Narrator. Tex Avery's "Tortoise Beats Hare" retells Aesop's fable from the point of view of the hare, in this case Bugs Bunny. |

Into the Woods shows several fairy tales (Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Jack and The Beanstalk, and Rapunzel) from the perspective of two ordinary villagers, a Baker and his wife who were cursed by the witch living next door. As it turns out, an extraordinary amount of each tale were caused by interactions with characters from the others Primarily the Baker and his wife trying to break the curse. Just to name a few, the items required to break the curse were a red cloak, a golden Slipper, a white cow, and yellow hair. | |

The Superior Foes of Spider-Man is basically a superhero comic from the perspective of the normal, street-level bank-robbing supervillains like Shocker and Boomerang. They spend most of their time just looking for work, bickering amongst each other, hanging out like normal people, and trying to avoid getting arrested by any passing superheroes. The heroes are generally perceived as stuck-up jerks by the villains, and bad guys who reform and become heroes are viewed as quislings with a target on their backs. | |

Hoodwinked! is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in which the wolf is an investigative journalist. Stalking Red through the woods? All he's doing is conducting some investigative work. Dressing up as Granny and hiding in her bed? Trying to get information out of Red. But Granny tied up in the closet? Now that was just one huge coincidence. Really, he had no idea she was there. (As it turns out, he's telling the truth.) | |

The Internet Historian's video essay "The Engoodening of No Man's Sky" starts very similar to his "The Fall of 76" video, going through the pre-launch hype of a highly-anticipated video game, then cataloging its invoked catastrophic release and how far it fell short of its developers' promises, leading to a public relations fiasco and a legion of disillusioned players. Then he rewinds and starts the story over from Hello Games' perspective, a small indie studio that took some huge risks to get their early successes, had dreams of a big new project that fed into an out-of-control hype train, and did not have the time, manpower and PR experience to create something to meet fans' expectations come launch day, turning the story into a tragedy... that ultimately has a happy ending. | |

Neil Sedaka's "Happy Birthday, Sweet Sixteen" is from the perspective of the older acquaintance of the birthday girl, admiring that she's grown up into a beautiful young woman. "It Hurts to Be Sixteen" sung by Andrea Carroll is from the girl's perspective, describing the confusion of experiencing romantic feelings for the first time and being at such an in-between stage between child- and adulthood. | |

The Origin of Wonder Woman: After his defeat at Hippolyta's hands, Hercules and his men launched a suprise attack during the feast and stole the queen's golden girdle which ensured the Amazons could not be defeated so long as their queen wore it and put the Amazon's in chains. Aphrodite heard Hippolyta's prayer and broke her chains, and the Amazons then went about freeing themselves and reclaiming the girdle before Aphrodite gave them Paradise Island and ordered them to never allow themselves to be subjugated by men again lest they lose their paradise. | |

Actually used in Whateley Universe, both with classical tales (As the Wiki states), and with actual Whateley stories. The Jadis focus story and the Jobe focus story overlap, one Chou story and Ayla story have the same incident from two different perspectives. Also overlaps with The Rashomon. In a twist, however, the villain stories USUALLY subvert the idea, keeping the villains 'bad guys'. | |

Rogue One shows the Rebellion against the Empire not from the perspective of Jedi Knights or the first trilogy's iconic heroes but from that of the regular rebels who die by the dozens during the war. Besides showing that the rebels aren't perfect (many, including Saw Gerrera's rebels at the crew of the Rogue One itself, have to do dirty deeds for a good cause), it's particularly notable for undoing Darth Vader's Villain Decay over the years caused by the prequels by reestablishing him as an unstoppable wave of death and destruction against rebels who only have blasters on their side. | |

Disney Live-Action Remakes: Maleficent is a perspective flip on the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of Maleficent, presenting her as a Heel–Face Revolving Door, showing not only her transforming from a sweet and innocent child to an evil enchantress, but also how she grows to love and care about Aurora, and indeed tries to and eventually does break the curse herself. The opening monologue from Aurora flat-out accuses the traditional version of being human-centrist propaganda. It got a sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. Similarly, 2021's Cruella is an Origins Episode of the 101 Dalmatians villain, only with even more Adaptational Heroism than Maleficent. |

The first act represents the events early in Elphaba's life, where she was roommates with the Good Witch Glinda (then calling herself Galinda). The second act largely covers the events of the film, but with the context of the first act added: the Wicked Witch of the East (and Elphaba's sister), Nessarose, turned her lover Boq to tin and removed his heart to prevent him from leaving her, thus turning him into the Tin Man. Glinda's husband Fiyero confesses his love for Elphaba and is taken away to be tortured for consorting with an enemy of Oz; Elphaba is only able to save his life by casting a spell that turns him to hay, which cannot be killed, thus making him the Scarecrow. The Cowardly Lion is a lab animal that Elphaba and Glinda freed back in Act I, which Boq/the Tin Man claims made him cowardly and unable to make his own decisions. The Witch Hunt for Elphaba was orchestrated not by Glinda but the Wizard and his right-hand women, Madame Morrible, who also caused the tornado that brought Dorothy and Toto to Oz in the first place. In the end, Elphaba and Glinda reconcile their differences, and Elphaba pretends to melt when touched by water with the help of Fiyero/the Scarecrow so that the pair can escape. | |

Westeros: An American Musical: Tyrion, who gets a decent amount of focus and considers himself the heroic protagonist of the play, is keeping a prostitute named Shae with whom he's convinced to be in a mutually loving relationship. For various reasons, she's no longer in his employ and has effectively betrayed him by the end of the play. The song "Congratshaelations" has Shae tell her side of the story: as far as she was concerned, Tyrion was keeping her despite the fact that she risked getting killed if discovered, married a teenage girl (his canonical wife) without much protest, is not nearly as nice as he thinks he is and got his family on his bad side at times when he really shouldn't have. | |

The Order of the Stick prequel book Start of Darkness contains elements of this trope for both the actual webcomic and Dungeons & Dragons with regard to goblinoid races, most notably in the opening scenes in which a village of goblins is slaughtered — women and children included — by the Paladins of the Sapphire Guard, for the most part heroic supporting characters in the comic strip. It subverts the trope with Xykon, however, by making it clear that even when his story is told from the very beginning, there's really no way of making him a sympathetic character.note An author's note at the beginning mentions that this part was actually quite difficult; apparently the trick was to make him not only evil, but also an unrepentant asshole. | |

Maleficent is a perspective flip on the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of Maleficent, presenting her as a Heel–Face Revolving Door, showing not only her transforming from a sweet and innocent child to an evil enchantress, but also how she grows to love and care about Aurora, and indeed tries to and eventually does break the curse herself. The opening monologue from Aurora flat-out accuses the traditional version of being human-centrist propaganda. It got a sequel, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil. | |

Wasting Away is the start of a Zombie Apocalypse told from the perspective of the zombies. The zombie protagonists, who still perceive themselves as human and can talk to each other, believe they ingested a Super-Soldier serum (which explains their durability), and see everyone else moving quickly.

One of the plotlines in Transformers: More than Meets the Eye involves a group of Decepticon foot-soldiers trying to make their way back to the Cybertron. Through their perspective we're given a look into the Decepticon hierarchy, culture, and general beliefs. To highlight the Grey-and-Grey Morality of the war, at one point Krok casually refers to Megatron as the hero and Optimus Prime as the villain. | |

Elisabeth: The musical does this to a degree: the title character isn't entirely vilified but she (as well as some other traditionally nice guys) is depicted as far more flawed than the usual "warm-hearted innocent young beauty" image which looks like she stepped straight out of a Disney movie. (Best example: the incredibly sugary Sissi movies.) On the other hand, her son Rudolf doesn't have a sterling public reputation, having been an incorrigible womanizer and cheater who persuaded an impressionable young woman to die with him in a Murder-Suicide and infected his wife with syphillis. The musical, in order to emphasize his fictional version's role as a Sacrificial Lamb and helpless pawn in the war between Sisi and Death (as well as between her and Franz Joseph/Archduchess Sophie), omits all the unsavory parts of his reputation and paints him as a hypersensitive, liberal young man at odds with his conservative father Franz Joseph (one of the aforementioned) traditional nice guys), Driven to Suicide out of despair from his mother's refusal to intercede and save him from his political and personal stressors. Mary Vetsera (his young mistress) was Adapted Out, and the syphillis thing was given to Franz Joseph instead (who did no such thing in real life). This portrayal of Rudolf is not wholly untrue, since the real Crown Prince was both of those things: the womanizer and the liberal. However, because of the narrative purpose, as well as the story being about his mother, he is more sympathetic according to fictional Sisi's point of view - the tragically dead son she failed to save, in a "don't speak ill of the dead" manner. |

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil tells the story of two well-meaning country bumpkins who save a girl from drowning, and inadvertently convince her friends that they've kidnapped her to do unspeakable things to her (as per the Hillbilly Horrors genre.) Of course, it doesn't help matters that said friends are all Too Dumb to Live, getting themselves killed one by one in ways they can then blame on T&D. Amusingly, the DVD extras include a flip of the flip, entitled Tucker and Dale ARE Evil. | |

Wonder Woman: The Amazons' origin usually contains a perspective flip of Heracles/Hercules' Ninth Labor in which the Amazons are the good guys, but the details have varied over the years. The Origin of Wonder Woman: After his defeat at Hippolyta's hands, Hercules and his men launched a suprise attack during the feast and stole the queen's golden girdle which ensured the Amazons could not be defeated so long as their queen wore it and put the Amazon's in chains. Aphrodite heard Hippolyta's prayer and broke her chains, and the Amazons then went about freeing themselves and reclaiming the girdle before Aphrodite gave them Paradise Island and ordered them to never allow themselves to be subjugated by men again lest they lose their paradise. Wonder Woman (1987): Heracles and his men betrayed the Amazons' trust after entering Themyscira as a friend and seducing their queen by drugging and enslaving them. While a sect of the Amazons went a little kill crazy after escaping, Heracles and his men raped and made sex slaves of them so their reaction is quite sympathetic to a modern audience. Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons: The story presents the tale of the Amazons from their perspective, putting forth the idea that the legends of the Amazons were written from the biased perspective of their enemies. Wonder Woman: Black and Gold: "Feet of Clay" is a look at Diana's creation and early years from her aunt Antiope. |

Noob: La Quête Légendaire has short feature that is basically the movie from the point of view of the villain of the in-game plot. The plot of the movie is that the villain, who's controlled by a human player, has basically turned the fictional MMORPG in which the story is set into a Race Against the Clock in which a group of players need to obtain a special set of weapons and fight him to stop The End of the World as We Know It. However, the players who actually do the questline end up being very secretive about it to avoid it being taken away by the game's elite when most people would be boasting about it. In the bonus short feature, not getting any news about anyone doing the quest gives the guy that started it all the impression that the entire player community is having a While Rome Burns attitude and is bored out of his mind while waiting for someone to come fight him. The only things that interrupts his boredom are other players passing by his location by chance, all of them either having helped with his questline at some point without knowing or being in on the secret and keeping their mouth shut for obvious reasons. | |

The Magnus Archives has episode 142, "Scrutiny". Up until this point, Jon's Compelling Voice powers have been portrayed as definitively heroic; sure, they have some disturbing aftereffects, but Jon's only ever intentionally used them on villains (like Breekon) and people with information so crucial that the benefits of learning it outweigh the costs of hurting the person (like the brother of the statement-giver in "Cruelty Free"), and we never see what happens to people in the long term after Jon compels them. Until this episode, which consists of a statement given by somebody on the receiving end of Jon's powers. Not only is it revealed that people subjected to Archivist powers are slowly driven mad and, in many cases, have their lives completely ruined, the audience learns that Jon has been going out between episodes and feeding on completely innocent people with no connection to the Entities. | |

In Hamilton, the first meeting between Hamilton and his future wife Eliza Schuyler is described in two songs - "Helpless", sung by Eliza, and "Satisfied", sung by her older sister Angelica. Eliza recounts the meeting in a decidedly romantic way (there's her instant infatuation with Hamilton and his insistent courtship of her) - but Angelica later says that she sacrificed her feelings for Eliza's benefit, and that the penniless Hamilton was interested in the Schuylers' money and would have been content with marrying any of the sisters. Most songs are shown from Hamilton's perspective, except for "The Room Where It Happens", which describes a meeting with Hamilton, Jefferson, and Madison where they trade financial control for the location of the US capital. Because the exact details of the meeting aren't known, Lin-Manuel Miranda writes the song from Burr's perspective, who desperately wants to be a part of the action but is excluded. Because of this, Hamilton is shown in a much more villainous light here. |

Ophelia tells the story of Hamlet from Ophelia's perspective, though it also changes some of the plot elements as well as adding a few new plot threads and characters. It also explores Gertrude's perspective, though to a much lesser degree. | |

The most popular manga adaptation of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair tells the story from Nagito’s perspective instead of Hajime’s. There are two other manga that tell the story from the perspectives of Chiaki and Kazuichi. | |

In the theatrical version of Evita the song "Another Suitcase In Another Hall" is sung by the woman whom Eva has just supplanted as Juan Peron's mistress, and serves as a perspective flip in which we suddenly see the effects of Evita's triumphant progress on someone else, for whom it resulted in defeat not triumph. | |

Embers in the Dusk has the so called Negaverse Omakes, samples of what a quest would have looked like in the current situation when ran by another faction. It started with the POV of a nearby Chaos polity which broke its teeth trying to take the heroes out and was now facing a lethal counterattack. | |

The Others (2001) is a Perspective Flip on the classic ghost story, in which ghosts who don't realize they're dead perceive the arrival of living people in their home as a haunting by unseen, frightening presences. | |

This happens within at least a couple of Iron Maiden songs: "Run To The Hills", where the first verse is told from the viewpoint of the native American tribes and the rest of the song is from the viewpoint of the settlers. "22 Acacia Avenue" shifts back and forth between the idealistic view of a pimp, and the cynical view of either a police officer or a concerned friend. | |

Teppu is structured like your average shounen martial arts series, except told from the perspective of the cold, cynical Jerkass Blood Knight villain. The protagonist's Arch-Enemy is naturally the kindhearted, energetic Genki Girl who believes in The Power of Friendship. | |

Astro City: "The Tarnished Angel" shows the Honor Guard from the outside. Since Steeljack's a former criminal screwed over by poor decisions and lousy circumstances now trying to do right, Honor Guard's skepticism come across as arrogant, bullying and elitist. "The Menace From Earth" and "Enemy of the State" shows a rescue mission by the First Family on an alien planet from the viewpoint of an alien child. |

Yatterman Night. The Doronbo are usually the quirky villains to the Yattermen in previous iterations. In this series, their descendants are the main protagonists with the Yattermen descendants being the antagonists. Special mention goes to making Tonzura and Boyaky's counterparts co-protagonists with Leopard when they were originally just Doronjo's lackeys. | |

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel - Northern War is set on the country of North Ambria just after the events of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II but before Cold Steel III. The anime depicts the citizens of North Ambria bracing for the attack of the empire of Erebonia with its most powerful enemy being the protagonist of the Cold Steel games, Rean Schwarzer and his Divine Knight Valimar. | |

Clybourne Park is a Perspective Flip to A Raisin in the Sun. A Raisin in the Sun is about a black family trying to buy a house in a white neighborhood.

In Raisin a racist character named Karl tries to buy out the black family to keep them out of the neighborhood; Clybourne has that same character Karl, after he failed, go to the white couple and try to persuade them not to sell. | |

The coming of the Antichrist is part of the Berserk lore and apparently the Antichrist is Guts and Femto/Griffith is a Messianic Archetype. Wait, something's wrong here. Considering God Is Evil in this universe, the reason for this should be obvious. | |
