Villainy-Free Villain	comment	No work of fiction can exist without a conflict. Almost all works help accomplish this by having a villain of some sort. After all, if there's no villain, who will create the conflict? Who will the heroes confront in the climax? Who will sing the best songs? But sometimes, writers encounter a problem. Sometimes, what the antagonist is doing isn't illegal, or even immoral. In a sports story, the antagonist would just be the leader of the Opposing Sports Team. If, say, you're writing an inspiring story about an underdog who aspires to be a great chef, the antagonist would be a tough-to-please food critic or the owner of a rival restaurant. In a love story, the antagonist would be the Romantic False Lead. Sure, their success would make the hero's life worse, but in real life, nobody would hold it against them. That's just the way the world works. Surely, these stories are going to be Good Versus Good, right? Wrong! Meet the Villainy-Free Villain, the very personification of a Felony Misdemeanor. To make sure that viewer sympathy is still squarely on the protagonist, the Villainy-Free Villain is an antagonist who compensates for their completely socially acceptable aspirations by being as much of a Jerkass about them as humanly possible. They're not a villain, but they sure act like one. It's as if they don't care about their own well-being, but see their actions as a wonderful opportunity to crush the protagonist's hopes and dreams. In any work of fiction in which the protagonist is a Lovable Rogue or Justified Criminal or an innocent person who has been framed for a heinous crime, the law enforcers chasing after them are inevitably going to appear unsympathetic to the audience, even if their motives are beyond reproach. The hero may even end up fighting them as much as the villain. Authority figures who have to control children (teachers, especially) also make fine default antagonists even without being a genuinely malicious Sadist Teacher. So do any authority figures whose job requires them to be harsh: police officers, judges, and drill sergeants are all especially prone to this. As mentioned, a Romantic False Lead will often be depicted as a jerk and bad, selfish partner so we don't feel bad when they get dumped and the Official Couple gets together. Still, this is a clear case of Truth in Television. A person doesn't have to kill or steal or do anything illegal to be unlikable. If you're a complete jerk and rub your victories in the faces of the people you step over, you'll still be seen in a bad light. Note that a character cannot qualify to be a Villainy-Free Villain if they participate in unethical activities. As the name suggests, this antagonist has all the aspects of the villain except the actual villainy. Also, for a character to qualify, they have to actually be as unpleasant as a normal villain, enough so for the viewer to not sympathize with them, otherwise, they're just a Designated Villain. The character needs to keep a balance and be unpleasant without doing anything too unpleasant. On the other hand, if they are evil but barely even do anything to fill the "antagonist" role, then they're a Plot-Irrelevant Villain. If they aren't necessarily unpleasant — heck, they can be even downright nice — yet their actions are the cause of unpleasant effects for other innocents without their knowing, they're Obliviously Evil. If the antagonist is morally good and intended to be so, they are a Hero Antagonist. Compare Hate Sink, who may not be the main conflict-maker but acts nasty so the audience has someone to root against, and Sitcom Arch-Nemesis, who is usually unpleasant and antagonistic but not a genuine threat. Contrast Anti-Villain, a sympathetic and generally likable villain who isn't outright villainous, and Affably Evil, for a villain who is downright nice. For the Fanon version, see Ron the Death Eater, where a character is good in Canon, but fans demonize them and cherry-pick their actions to make them seem evil. If the fans hate this character more than other, legitimately evil characters, then you have a case of Jerks Are Worse Than Villains. Compare and contrast The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, who similarly don't do evil despite their job title, but may not even be Jerkasses.

After they evade the forces of Roboworld, this three-time champion and "King of Redline" stands between the protagonists and victory. His goal is the same as all the other racers: to win. With extensive Cyborg enhancements, he is a Smug Super who looks down on the other racers. However he has no tolerance for Roboworld's interference, demonstrating his integrity. His Awesome Ego might be justified, as he is an incredible racer who eventually sees a Worthy Opponent in JP and Sonoshee. And despite his arrogant bravado, he is a Graceful Loser when they win.

But ultimately all he really does is manage the winter season. It isn't his fault Nancy got sick, and although he comes off as a jerk ("Melt all the snow? I've still got two weeks to go! Have you no respect for tradition?!") he isn't entirely wrong in how outlandish Raggedy Ann's request is to help one little girl.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_1b71921c	comment	Heather from Misfile fits very nicely here. She is a complete ass but has actually played fairer than our heroes when it has come to her races. The comic later subverts this. Heather isn't actually a cruel person, she's just vindictive and dislikes Ash, Emily, and Missy simply because she's Yandere for James (which is, admittedly, just a bit stupid considering Ash and the others only dislike her in retaliation). She actually has something of a Hidden Heart of Gold but prefers to have a reputation as an unapproachable bitch. She even tells Ash off for believing her to be inherently nasty and even states that she just doesn't want to make good with Team Misfile.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons: In the episode "The Twisted World of Marge Simpson", the Investorettes weren't really doing anything wrong by kicking Marge out of their investment group (Marge herself admitted she didn't like "the whole idea of 'investing'"), and they were well within their rights to compete with her when they both started up mobile snack businesses. But they're such jerks about it that you're not sad at all when Marge's Mafia goons blow up their truck. Keep in mind, Marge didn't know that Homer had gotten the Mafia involved for her. The Investorettes, on the other hand, knowingly hired the Yakuza to compete and take down Marge (though, to be fair, they genuinely believed Marge had knowingly gotten the mob involved). Subverted when Homer returns to college. He's watched enough college comedies to be sure that this trope will be fulfilled by a student-hating dean. When said dean actually turns out to be an extremely nice, laid-back and understanding educator, Homer naturally ignores his personality and continues to treat him as a villain. Don Brodka from "Marge Be Not Proud." Sure, he's a security guard who was simply doing his job and was justified in being angry when Bart attempted to shoplift. However, he's still enough of a Jerkass about it (even ruining the family picture) that your sympathies remain with Bart. Judge Constance Harm from "The Parent Rap" isn't technically doing anything wrong; as a judge, she is within her rights to do what she is doing. However, while Marge and Homer violated two court orders and accidentally sunk her houseboat, she is so thoroughly unpleasant and spiteful that it's essentially impossible to side with her. Principal Skinner in "The Boy Who Knew Too Much". Yes, Bart was skipping school and Skinner was well within his right to punish him, but he ends up becoming quite petty about it and when Bart finally confesses, he hands Bart three months detention. Then Skinner thinks about it again, and tacks on another month.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_291dc90e	comment	Dolcinaea Luciel from Octopath Traveler II is the main antagonist of Agnea's story, but unlike all other antagonists, she isn't even evil. Aside from her snobby attitude prior to her defeat (and even during the process of the story she comes to respect Agnea little by little), she doesn't even have a malicious intention; her action of trying to demolish the poor areas of Sai had the good intention of trying to make the hometown she's ashamed of a better place, but she does it by force without considering the feelings of local people. She is also shown to have a kind heart at times.

Yosemite Sam in Big House Bunny is just doing his job trying to keep Bugs Bunny from escaping after he accidentally hides out in Sing Song Prison. Yes he takes more enjoyment than he should trying to keep Bugs in prison, but he isn't really doing anything wrong. Daffy Duck in It's Nice to Have a Mouse Around the House.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_2bfd4893	comment	Team Zeus in Real Steel. Their evil acts consist of 1) building the absolutely strongest boxing robot they could via the means and methods available to them (which is pretty much what the protagonists do as well), 2) trying to buy the protagonist robot as they think it will make a good sparring partner for their champion robot (to remove any serious competition, and to their credit, they offered a fair price for it), and 3) not handling a win that isn't a complete rout well, as their robot takes an immense pounding in the final match but does not get KO'd and ultimately gets the technical win on points. The film seems to recognize this and includes a secondary antagonist figure who does more straightforward villain acts.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_34882659	comment	Brom Bones in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is an older example of this. His crimes are trying to get with the same girl as Ichabod Crane, and (almost certainly) tossing a pumpkin at Ichabod's head to scare him out of town. This seems rather mild, even before one realizes that Ichabod is basically a scumbag who's actively drooling over the idea of the girl's dad dying and him inheriting a fortune. The Disney version just narrowly avoids this, as he's presented and animated with the air of a big mean bully who is quick to blow off and threaten any competitors and it's only because of incompetence and bad luck that he suffers the physical abuse instead of his target Ichabod.

He gets a standing ovation when he leaves at the end to join the Continental Army.

Otherwise, she's just trying to reclaim her power and her daughter, both taken from her for flimsy (and sexist) reasons, and most of her actions are surprisingly helpful. She's the one who gives Tamino the magic flute and Papageno his magic bells, her Ladies save Tamino's life at the beginning, they're the ones who direct the heroes to the Three Boys' wise guidance, and even their attempts to lure Tamino away from Sarastro only prove his strength and earn him points in Sarastro's trials. It's no wonder that some modern productions portray her as secretly Sarastro's ally, who only plays the villain to test the young heroes.

Only the eighth juror has a reasonable doubt that he is guilty, and spends the film changing the minds of the other eleven. The film keeps the sympathy on Juror #8 by having the most strident arguments for the defendant's guilt come from two rather unpleasant people who are nonetheless just trying to prevent a murderer from going free: Juror #3, an aggressive, irritable Jerkass who refuses to listen to the opposing side, and who is clearly projecting on the defendant issues he has with his own son. Juror #10 assumes the defendant must have been guilty because of his race and social class and openly admits that he doesn't want to hear any fact-based arguments otherwise. Unlike Juror #3, there is never any hint of his having a hidden sympathetic side.

Still, he represents the worst aspects of war, so he's hated by the other gods In-Universe, and even most of his worshipers saw him as Necessarily Evil.

But they're such absolute pompous jerkasses that we really don't care. It helps that they only attack the Guardians with drones, so the titular anti-heroes don't actually kill anyone in their heist.

He would have been negligent if he ignored suspected credit card fraud, and criminally negligent if he didn't try to turn a 10-year-old runaway over to the authorities.

He's also unique as the only rival to make a Heelâ€“Face Turn; after the fourth trial shows the cracks in Monokuma's Deadly Game, he announces he will no longer participate and instead joins forces with the others, eventually ending up a survivor. This is averted with the next two rivals, as Nagito Komaeda and Kokichi Oma both do genuinely villainous things in their games: Komaeda provokes Teruteru to murder the Ultimate Impostor (although he was intending Teruteru to kill him), threatens to blow up the islands, and gets Chiaki executed by making her the culprit for his murder. Kokichi Oma manipulates Gonta into killing Miu.

While Giovanni and Team Rocket are the main villains, they are irrelevant to the goal of becoming the PokÃ©mon League Champion beyond Giovanni being the eighth Gym Leader, with Blue serving as the actual main antagonist despite not being the Big Bad. So to make you really want to beat him, he starts off by picking the PokÃ©mon that your starter has an elemental weakness to, giving himself an advantage in the first fight. From there, he shows himself to be an arrogant Jerkass who constantly mocks you, sees his Pokemon as tools, picks fights with you whenever he can, and is a Sore Loser — so when it all culminates in him becoming the Final Boss, you feel that extra bit of motivation to settle the rivalry and prove you are the better trainer. His reappearances in future games would have him grow and improve until he lost this aspect entirely, while later rivals (barring Silver, who is guilty of actual crimes like theft) would go on to avert this by being genuine friends of the protagonist.

Both men are frequently called to come up with solutions to various world-threatening calamities, and the fact that he keeps being called back proves that Wernstrom is just as much of a Science Hero as Farnsworth... the only difference is he's a colossal dick about it! Their rivalry actually started over something ridiculously trivial, back when Farnsworth was Wernstrom's college professor and he (very slightly) deducted points on a test to penalize bad handwriting, and Wernstrom swore he'd get revenge even if it took a hundred years. This revenge usually comes in the form of criticism, skepticism, and trying to be the better scientist. However, when Farnsworth meekly asks for a team-up, Wernstrom states it would be his honor.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_a6658fee	comment	The Hunt for Red October: Viktor Tupolev may be an arrogant asshole, but his actions, even when viewed in the worst possible way, are those of a patriotic Soviet citizen attempting to prevent his former mentor from dropping a state-of-the-art submarine, encyclopedic knowledge of his country's submarine warfare capabilities and a non-trivial portion of his country's nuclear arsenal into the hands of his country's arch-enemy. If one is inclined to be more generous, one could see it as Tupolev genuinely believing Ramius has gone rogue and intends to kickstart World War III, and Tupolev merely doing what was necessary to stop him. Similarly, the saboteur is another Soviet patriot, willing to kill and die to ensure that his country's military secrets don't end up in American hands.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_a8729c90	comment	The Fairly OddParents!: Remy Buxaplenty deconstructs this concept. Remy isn't really doing anything wrong by one-upping Timmy, and his backstory makes him easy to sympathize with, except that he's such a huge jerk about it. He starts out like this, but we see that get pulled apart when we see him attempt to bribe Timmy from his fairies and later enter a magical duel with him. After they tie, Timmy tries to get Remy to just call it a draw, saying he doesn't care if Remy has fairies. However, it's an issue for Remy because he doesn't view it as fair for Timmy to have both loving (albeit idiotic) parents and his godparents, when his real parents are never around. He ends up losing his (but Juandisimo returns in a later episode and a few more times.) He became a full villain the moment he decided that he'd risk losing his fairy just for the chance for Timmy to lose his. The Dinkleburgs too, who are, for the most part, completely harmless but enjoy rubbing their accomplishments in Timmy's dad's face. That being said, the show does portray Timmy's dad in a less-than-flattering light for him hating them so much. However, one episode had Mr. Dinkleburg humor being a straight-up villain just to make Timmy's dad appear Properly Paranoid (though we discover Dinkleburg did it to try and cheer Mr. Turner up).

He's a truly freaky person, he's obsessed with cutting hair and can't help himself, but his intentions for visiting truly were to merely visit his Aunt Muriel and he's a polite, genuinely kind person who even speaks nicely about Eustace.

He expresses a huge amount of joy at accusing them of stealing the ticket and tries to get them arrested which altogether isn't unreasonable given the information he has. Though after they successfully trick him, he apologizes, ashamed of the accusations, and happily pays them the money.

Worst-case scenario in these situations, Plankton just wants to drive Krabs nuts. Squidward fits the role even better, simply being irritable and condescending about SpongeBob's demeanor. Many viewers who grew up with the show have actually ended up sympathizing with Squidward over SpongeBob in adulthood, finding the former's irritation justified. Can you blame someone for disliking a neighbor who once blasted techno music for 12 hours? Squilliam Fancyson, Squidward's rival, similarly does nothing outright criminal. He's just a rich jerk who enjoys rubbing his successes in Squidward's face and challenging his rival to get him to humiliate himself. He is also a Sore Loser who reacts to defeat with displays like crying and having a heart attack. Finally, unlike Squidward who shows sympathetic qualities, Squilliam has nothing redeeming about him, making it easier to root for Squidward over him.

His Establishing Character Moment, punishing a card sharp with a Mark of Shame, shows him to be less bloodthirsty than the other miners who were calling for a hanging. He also acts possessively towards the Girl and tries to push her into a bigamous relationship with him, but doesn't really go lower than a common Jerkass, despite the opera's attempts to play up his second-act advances as an I Have You Now, My Pretty moment. In the end, he even joins in the miners' decision to let Johnson go free for the Girl's sake.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has its fair share of these — though, admittedly, it also has plenty of genuine villains, too. Prince Blueblood in "Best Night Ever" is a Royal Brat, and although genuinely unpleasant he is never anything more than a self-centered snob who probably would have never approached Rarity if she had not done so first. Trixie, who is often regarded as one of the show's more memorable characters, yet was only guilty of showboating and humiliating three of the protagonists in "Boast Busters" (who actually started the fight by heckling and then challenging Trixie to best them). When a giant beast trashed the town, Trixie's only involvement was that she had made claims of being able to stop such a threat when this was not actually true, and she had no involvement with the two characters who actually did bring it to town. The later episode "Magic Duel" subverts this at first, when Trixie returns to Ponyville armed with immensely powerful magic, boots Twilight Sparkle out of the town, and reigns over the city. However, her newfound evil is revealed to be the doing of the Artifact of Doom she used to obtain power. It is not hard to surmise that Trixie got the Amulet in an attempt to simply show up Twilight which is reasonable, as being unfavorably compared to Twilight was the reason ponies were continuing to harass her, but The Corruption took it from there. By the end of the episode, Trixie is remorseful for the horrible things she has done under the Amulet's influence and makes amends to Twilight. This trope is actually addressed and made a plot-point in later episodes where Trixie laments how her reputation has suffered due to the events of each episode (which as a traveling performer means it directly affects her livelihood), despite the fact that she didn't technically do anything illegal. "No Second Prances"'s conflict is started when she forms a friendship with Starlight, who points out the hypocrisy that she was given a chance to turn over a new leaf and forgiven of everything she'd done, despite committing several actual crimes, while Trixie was still a pariah hated by the Mane Six despite her only "crimes" being boastful and using a dangerous magical artifact (though as Twilight herself points out, that doesn't excuse Trixie still acting like an annoying Jerkass despite ostensibly turning over a new leaf, which isn't helped by how in this very episode Trixie lets slip she was using her friendship with Starlight to get back at Twilight before it became genuine). Jet Set and Upper Crust from "Sweet and Elite" are snobby elitists who walk around with their muzzles in the air and disparage Rarity because she comes from a rural town — the moment that they go from admiring Rarity's hat design to dismissing it as worthless because they just found out she comes from Ponyville is the moment they get revealed as the "bad guys" of the episode. Chancellor Neighsay is one of the most maligned villains to ever appear in the show and often considered to stand alongside major antagonists like Lord Tirek, King Sombra, and Queen Chrysalis, in spite of the fact he doesn't do anything definitively villainous apart from enforcing the policies of the EEA and closing Twilight's School of Friendship due to racially-motivated but otherwise valid reasons. He is just such an obnoxious, nasty, and unlikable individual about it though that he is hard not to hate. The Season 8 finale reveals that he was indeed Good All Along and simply misguided, and he lightens up and does what little of a Heelâ€“Face Turn he'd need to pull to firmly land on the side of Twilight and her crew.

He's literally doing exactly the same thing as the protagonists (studying tornadoes to better understand them). The protagonists hate him because he takes corporate funding, is a Smug Snake, and rides around in a caravan of black SUVs. The only remotely legitimate gripe is that he took Bill's idea for a sensor system and is trying to deploy it first to get the credit. The problem is, they also make a big deal about how important the science is, and how it will save lives if they can understand tornadoes better, so resenting someone for trying to do so seems incredibly petty.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_d6b6971d	comment	Most "villains" on Survivor or any other reality show are bound to be this (the casting department should've weeded out the actual psychos). Villainy isn't defined by dirty play here — "heroes" have also done their share of deceptive moves, and villains don't noticeably break the rules lest production kick them out. The villains are the ones that are mean-spirited about it and annoy everyone with bragging and the like. For Survivor, this inevitably led to complications in their Heroes vs Villains season when half the contestants on the villains' team weren't even villains anyways. It's incredibly tough to determine in a series like that who is a hero or villain because everyone does something underhanded eventually. Even one of the quintessential "heroes" of the series, Rupert Boneham, stole the entire other tribe's shoes in the first episode of his first season.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_d723dd8a	comment	Miko Miyazaki from The Order of the Stick is The Paladin and has to be Lawful Good, or she'll stop being a Paladin. She's initially sent to arrest the protagonists knowing nothing but that they're charged with a vague but serious crime, and only acts accordingly. She'll attack anyone and everyone she thinks are Evil without considering mercy, but not others without reason. Yet she has no respect towards others — at least when they don't fit her standards, which almost nobody does, especially given the way she communicates with them first — and assumes they just have to do whatever she tells them to because she's in the right. In the end, even Roy, who's also Lawful Good and could perfectly well have understood her mission in principle, simply refuses to go with her because she's awful. In later Story Arcs, Miko starts going so close to Black-and-White Insanity that she finally loses the "Villainy Free" part, although even then, she thinks she's doing what's right and that any objective evidence to the contrary is either part of an elaborate conspiracy or a test of her devotion from the Gods.

However, Akatsuki never actually does anything really villainous: they take advantage of the fact that the public fears voting against the student council, but there's no hint that Akatsuki itself enforces this. Eichi also explicitly states that Keito had nothing to do with his scheming against Trickstar and wouldn't approve of it, and both Souma and Kuro explicitly decry Eichi and the student council in general. However, this is actually explained in the backstory: Akatsuki was actually created solely to carry out Eichi's will, and Kuro and Keito were both directly involved in the sabotage of several of the Oddballs, more than earning the enmity of the rest of the cast. But Souma, who was oblivious to these acts, truly believed that Akatsuki could become a good unit that could bring joy to people in its own right, and so he inspired Kuro and Keito into becoming better people. By the time of the Main Story, only Keito's friendship with Eichi keeps Akatsuki aligned that way, and even he expresses regrets to Mao about having reached this point.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_e5feb1e	comment	Ace Attorney: In general, the prosecutors are this. Since the series follows defense attorneys who clear the name of innocents falsely accused of murder, the prosecutors they face are typically smug Jerkasses who belittle the defense, insist on the guilt of the defendant, and do everything in their legal power to make your job difficult, all to make the player really want to beat them in court. Despite this, most of them are simply doing their jobs and always work within the law (with the exception of some Unconventional Courtroom Tactics that might get them contempt charges in real life but have no bearing on the case), and it's repeatedly pointed out that prosecutors are necessary counterparts to defense attorneys. Typically, the main prosecutor of each game will even do a Heelâ€“Face Turn and befriend the protagonist. There are exceptions, such as Klavier Gavin (who's friendly to Apollo and never presents himself as a villain) and some who are criminals themselves: Manfred von Karma is known to have resorted to illegal tactics such as coaching witnesses and killed the lawyer who got him penalized (once, and he didn't even lose that case), Godot is a murderer (albeit a sympathetic one), and Queen Ga'ran is The Usurper and a murderess herself. Winston Payne is the first prosecutor faced in the first four games and a condescending Smug Snake with an inflated ego, but he never goes further than annoying the defense, and is actually one of the cleanest prosecutors in the series. Especially compared to his brother Gaspen, who outright tries to get Phoenix and a child killed. Manfred von Karma is absolutely an Amoral Attorney who doesn't belong here, but his daughter Franziska and protÃ©gÃ© Edgeworth are both prosecutors who genuinely want to do their jobs right (though it takes a few losses to Phoenix to get them to show their nice sides). Franziska initially claims that she's an Amoral Attorney like her father, but ultimately she just doesn't have it in her to stoop as low as he did. Godot prosecutes cases because he despises Phoenix Wright and wants to defeat him, but doesn't do anything beyond that for most of the game, until the last case where he becomes the final culprit and endangers innocents because he wanted to be the hero. Justine Courtney and Sebastian Debeste are a judge and rookie prosecutor, respectively, who try to interfere in Edgeworth's investigations and play the usual role of making Edgeworth have to prove the innocence of whatever person they've wrongly pinned as the killer. While Justine is willing to bend and flout the law, she does it in the interest of serving justice and is secretly trying to get her corrupt boss taken down without him noticing, while Sebastian is an incredible egotist but can't even do his job competently enough to pose a real threat to Edgeworth. Simon Blackquill is a zig-zagged case in that he's a convicted murderer who was allowed to become a prosecutor and is willing to use psychological techniques to break the witnesses, defendants, and even the Judge. But he only goes so far as the state will allow him, plays by the law, and never kills anyone onscreen. Also, it turns out that he's innocent of the murder he was convicted for. Nahyuta Sahdmadhi and Princess Rayfa Padma Khura'in are extremely arrogant, self-righteous enforcers of the Khura'inese regime who look down on the heroes for being defense attorneys (as they are hated in Khura'in and losing ones are punished with their clients), but otherwise they're just doing their jobs. Rayfa also doesn't realize the full depth of her actions due to being a young teenager indoctrinated into anti-lawyer propaganda, while Nahyuta is being blackmailed by Queen Ga'ran; if he doesn't toe the party line and act like a stereotypical Holier Than Thou Khura'inese prosecutor, she'll ruin Rayfa's life by exposing her as Dhurke's daughter. When not being coerced, Nahyuta is quite reasonable and understands the necessity of defense attorneys. Taketsuchi Auchi, Winston Payne's ancestor, fulfills a similar role to him. He's the first prosecutor faced and a stuffy, sexist old man who looks down on the youth, insists on Ryunosuke and Rei's guilt, and is willing to disparage his own nation to curry favor with the beautiful yet racist Jezaille Brett. Other than that, he's as law-abiding as his descendant. Barok van Zieks is a racist Blue Blood who antagonizes Ryuunosuke Naruhodo for being Japanese, but is one of the most honest and principled prosecutors in the series who only breaks the rules if they contradict the spirit of the law. His "Reaper of Old Bailey" reputation is actually not his fault, being the work of a conspiracy meant to make Barok an unknowing (he's too honest to actively take part) figurehead, though his imposing theatricality probably didn't help his case.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_ec2af712	comment	While capable of being a straight-out villain, Pete from the Classic Disney Shorts often fell into this category, particularly in his shorts with Donald Duck. Shorts like The Riveter, Timber! and most of Donald and Pete's wartime cartoons feature Pete in perfectly legit professions, but still acting like a bullying Jerkass. In Goof Troop, he isn't even played as a villain at all (with a few exceptions) and is more of a Jerk with a Heart of Gold on many occasions in contrast to his standard Jerkass personality.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_ef4fd083	comment	Done in-universe with Mr. St. Peters in The Brave Little Toaster who's a good-natured, fun-loving, and likeable chubby little man who runs a shop that dismantles old appliances to sell their parts as replacements. Really, the only "villainous" thing he does is sell these parts under the pretenses of being new — the thing that makes him such a feared and horrid villain is that the film is from the viewpoint of the sentient appliances who have been locked in his shop and driven insane from watching him rip their friends apart one by one. Fittingly the scene of him dismantling a blender is framed like a scene from a horror movie, complete with a Gory Discretion Shot and a scene of the lifeless blender's corpse dripping "blood".

Villainy-Free Villain / int_f0c816fb	comment	In the early seasons of Breaking Bad, Skyler is simply a concerned wife wondering why her husband has suddenly become so distant, having no idea that he's started cooking meth to pay for his cancer treatment. Her main function in the show is to put pressure on Walt's already stressful double life, making her somewhat unsympathetic by default. Once she learns the truth, she reacts the way most people would, trying to divorce Walt and deny him access to the kids, making her even more unsympathetic as it renders Walt's sacrifices meaningless. Subverted once she starts getting involved in Walt's business and commits several illegal and unethical acts.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_f376fea5	comment	The Shadowbolts of Crystal Prep High School from My Little Pony: Equestria Girls â€“ Friendship Games aren't really all that antagonistic towards the heroes of Canterlot High School, save for some competitive smack-talking and bragging. Most of Crystal Prep's students are just good enough to beat the Wondercolts fairly, without any unnecessary cheating. If anything, they're the most antagonistic towards one of their own, the Anti-Villainous Human Twilight, than the Wondercolts. All of them are still obnoxious in their own ways to prevent any sympathy from being given to them. And while they do convince Human Twilight to unleash the magic, that was more due to the toxic influence of the movie's Big Bad, Principal Cinch. But when under attack by the demonic Midnight Sparkle, they help save some people and turn against Cinch once Midnight is defeated.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_f634206e	comment	Anton Ego of Ratatouille seems to fit this trope to a T at first. He's a food critic. Food critics can and do give restaurants negative reviews. He also hates Gusteau's populist philosophy that "anyone can cook," so he's looking forward to hating the restaurant's food. Ego even lampshades it in his introduction to Linguini: "Pardon me for interrupting your premature celebration, but I thought it only fair to give you a sporting chance as you are new to this game... and you've been playing without an opponent, which is, as you may have guessed, against the rules." However, when being served a genuinely delicious dish, he gives the restaurant glowing praise even knowing full well that he'll be throwing his career away should anyone discover who is cooking the food. And they do. The actual Big Bad is Chef Skinner, who is also a Jerkass but only a slightly bigger threat.

Neither, technically, is getting Keith fired: at best Keith could maybe sue Plotkin and Griffin for tortious interference with his employment contract (if he even has one: most US workers don't). So the film portrays Plotkin, Griffin, Tenev, and Baiju as out-of-touch jerks who are trying to get even richer at the expense of GameStop's workforce (represented by Marcos and Brad) and other investors in the company, including the eponymous "dumb money"—i.e. regular people doing day-trading.

She just wants to continue to do the job she loves and isn't happy that the Phantom has decided to replace her with Christine Daae as lead soprano of the opera house; plus he's been sabotaging her for ages and at one point drops part of the scenery on her, which could have seriously injured her and which she only narrowly avoids. Also, while the audience knows Christine wants no part in the Phantom's plot and isn't to blame, it's not hard to see how Carlotta came to the conclusion that she was in on it, given the limited information she had.

Villainy-Free Villain / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation: Bruce Maddox from "The Measure of a Man" wants to disassemble Data in order to find out how to replicate his design. Although his goal is noble, Data refuses when it becomes obvious that Maddox doesn't have a very good idea of what he is doing, and Maddox spends the rest of the episode trying to legally force him into compliance. This is mostly because Maddox does not see Data as a self-determining individual and does not believe he has the right to refuse. He comes around at the end. Admiral Nechayev and Picard never saw eye-to-eye on matters of policy, since Nechayev was far more hawkish than Picard. Whenever she appeared in an episode, it was usually a sign that she was about to browbeat Picard over his latest command decisions in the most condescending and jerkassy way possible. Captain Edward Jellico could be considered a subversion of this trope. He is given command of the Enterprise during the "Chain of Command" two-parter and obviously doesn't get along well with the crew. His brusque and demanding style of command makes him easy to dislike (both for the crew and the audience), he appears to lack diplomatic savvy, and he even relieves Riker of his position. Despite this, Jellico is vindicated by his success in resolving the crisis of the day, saving Picard from the Cardassians, averting an armed conflict, and getting Troi to put on a uniform.. Perhaps an example of Good Is Not Nice by the end. Romulan Commander Toreth was the villain of "Face of the Enemy" but throughout the episode, she showed concern that her orders would endanger her crew (the same concern Picard would have undoubtedly had in her situation), she expressed discontent for the Romulan government and contempt for the Tal-Shiar, she told Troi (who she thought was a Tal-Shiar officer) to her face that their propaganda was all lies, and was genuinely horrified when Troi seemingly killed eighteen innocent non-Romulans. Most Romulan commanders fall into this trope, going all the way back to TOS, in which the first Romulan commander ever introduced said he and Kirk were "of a kind". Even though the Romulan government spreads propaganda designed to make the population see all aliens as inferior, hate them for the crime of existing, and believe that the Romulan Empire will inevitably conquer the galaxy, it seems that anyone who rises to the rank of Commander will have enough life experience to know that the government's propaganda is all crap. All the Romulan Commanders the Enterprise faces all seem to be loyal soldiers carrying out their duties.
