A "Designated Villain" is an antagonist in any media where had they not been opposing the protagonist(s) they would not be considered villainous, they may even of been considered heroic. This is very common in media that has Moral Absolutist themes and can easily divide fan bases as some sympathize with the so-called "bad guy" more than the "hero" (especially in media where the "hero" is sometimes worse than the "bad guy").

  • A "Designated Villain" is an antagonist in any media where had they not been opposing the protagonist(s) they would not be considered villainous, they may even of been considered heroic. This is very common in media that has Moral Absolutist themes and can easily divide fan bases as some sympathize with the so-called "bad guy" more than the "hero" (especially in media where the "hero" is sometimes worse than the "bad guy"). This type of villain is rarely evil and if they do turn into actual villains it is usually due to provocation by the protagonists, making them very different from the evil-doers of traditional media.
