I think the core of that movie was "Even if they have a point, antifa is bad, and we should let the hereditary monarchy listen to them, kill them, and then be slightly better"

I like Lady Eboshi from Princess Mononoke.

Judas in the New Testament

@Hypolite Petovan My favorite form of fanfic is those that turn the protagonist/antagonist relation on its head.

This is a tricky predicament, usually old tropes are quick to show up again with a simple role reversal (the protagonist is misunderstood/the police is corrupt) or worse, the writing can be completely misled by ending up justifying completely immoral villain opinions.

@Hypolite Petovan There is this danger, but there are plenty of stories where the protagonist is protagonist because of the framing and because of some lazy folk ethics and emotional appeal.

If you remove the attributes of being main character, pretty/handsome, beloved by their friends and successful, they can turn out to be quite the dick. Many "rightful ruler" or other "they deserved this" narratives, and there are many of them, have a hard time withstanding scrutiny.

Villains are often very flat, and they can be labeled evil because they have been dehumanized. For example, maybe the original protagonist does some horrible things that are rationalized because of a sense of justice and because of appeal to individual concerns. The perspective of justice can easily be reversed. Maybe the protagonist was hiding some facts, maybe they are accusing someone without actual shown evidence, etc.
