** The original ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' series featured a fairly straightforward good vs. evil plot. [[StarterVillain Zhao]] and [[BigBad Ozai]] were both completely lacking in sympathetic or redeeming qualities, and [[TheDragon Azula]], while [[VillainousBreakdown somewhat pitiable by the end]] and arguably the result of Ozai's abuse, was still a sociopathic ManipulativeBitch who cared little for the suffering she caused and at times seemed to outright relish in it. Every villain who ''was'' somewhat ambiguous -Zuko, Jet, Mai and Ty Lee, etc.- all ended up turning good by the end. By contrast, ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'' tended to feature villains who were morally gray. While they were still clearly evil, [[WellIntentionedExtremist they had motives and goals that seemed respectable]], at least on the surface, such as bringing equality to [[{{muggles}} non-benders]] or wanting to free the people from corrupt or incompetent leaders, and the narrative [[VillainHasAPoint often acknowledged the villain's legitimate points]]. It's because of said points that the heroes' goals isn't simply to defeat the villains, but to also provide a ''[[CentralTheme balanced]]'' solution to the same problem such as democratizing the [[TheMagocracy all-bender council]] in Republic City. Also, while both series featured {{Arc Villain}}s, in ''The Last Airbender'' they were all part of a single, multi-season narrative and it was clear from the beginning that Ozai was the show's BigBad, while ''Legend of Korra'''s villains were independent of each other, with their own (mostly) self-contained plots, and the series as a whole didn't have a single definitive BigBad.
** Another detail is that Aang's main antagonists were firebenders of high social standing from the Fire Nation - Ozai and Azula are Fire Nation royalty, while Zhao is an admiral and a noble (with the one semi-exception being [[EvilChancellor Long Feng]], an earthbender of middle-class Earth Kingdom origins). Except for Zaheer's lover, P'Li, and a relatively minor Republic City gangster, Korra's enemies are all non-firebenders from the other nations, with three of the four main {{Arc Villain}}s having humble origins - Amon is the son of an exiled criminal, Zaheer seems to have had no social status outside of leading [[BombThrowingAnarchists the Red Lotus]], and Kuvira is an orphan who was deliberately abandoned by her parents, with all three rising to their status through their own actions (the one exception is Unalaq, who inherited his position as chief of the Water Tribes [[spoiler:after removing his brother from the line of succession]]).
** Just the fact that most of Aang's enemies are Fire Nation and half of Korra's are of Water Tribe descent. The only villainous Waterbender in Aang's series is Hama, a one episode villain of the day. Korra has Tarrlok, Amon, Unalaq, Eska and Desna, Varrick, and Ming-Hua-- even the OpposingSportsTeam in the first season's TournamentArc are led by their smug Waterbender, Tahno. Plus the villain we see Aang dealing with in the season one backstory, Yakone, is a Waterbender. ''Korra'' actually goes out of its way to avoid using Firebender antagonists besides P'Li, some of the triads, and the anonymous Firebenders who killed Asami's mom and Mako and Bolin's parents.
** Yet another odd detail is that Korra's different enemies have goals that are so contrasting that they would likely have fought each other had they been active at the same time. Amon had an anti-bender stance while the other three were proud benders. Unalaq wanted to be a rival avatar, while Zaheer wanted to return to when the avatar did not exist. Zaheer was an anarchist, while Kuvira was a tyrant (Zaheer even mentions to Korra that he opposes her methods). Unalaq claimed to have a stance of respecting the spirits, while part of Kuvira's plan involved harvesting spirit vines without a care for the spirits that lived with them.
** It is also worth noting that each of the major antagonists in the entire franchise is an allegory for controversial political ideology.
*** For Ozai, he represents tyrannical absolute monarchy--ruling the Fire Nation as the absolute supreme overlord with an iron fist, in addition to becoming the latest in a long line of monarchs (though his ascension to the throne was not without a bit of cunning in revoking his older brother's birthright). Ozai has the final say in military decisions, is revered as some sort of a deity-like figure in the Fire Nation's education system, and does have [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking the power to take out any fire bender who dares to challenge him]].
*** For Amon, he represents communism--a form of government which advocates for common ownership of the means of production that is also classless, implying the end of the exploitation of workers. Amon's rhetoric frequently referenced inequality and exploitation of non-benders by the wealthier and more powerful benders that controlled the economy and government. However, he also represents how those in power would use lies, charisma and propaganda to control the populace while pretending to be on the same level as them, like how he hid the fact that he was a bender himself (one that even uses a bending art that is illegal) and made up a story of how he was granted his stripping abilities by the spirits to make the non-bending community obey him until Korra exposed him for the fraud he was.
*** For Unalaq, he represents theocracy--a system of government in which religious beliefs are used to justify a priest-drive rule in the name of a higher power. Unalaq would go as far as to attempt to be some sort of a deity himself, fusing with Vaatu so that he could rule the world as the Dark Avatar.
*** For Zaheer, he represents anarchy--a belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion. However, some of these people would resort to using oppressive tactics that go against their goals to gain the upper hand over their enemies, much like how Zaheer kidnapped and threatened to destroy the new Air Nation unless Korra surrendered to him.
*** For Kuvira, she represents fascism--as she is frequently compared to real-life tyrants like Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. Fascists believe in the state controlling the means of production, thus rendering all property publicly owned and workers being paid by their needs. Like Amon, Kuvira believes in providing equality to her people, but only if they are willing to comply with her rule, forcing dissenters into re-education camps.

* ''WesternAnimation/Ducktales2017'': Each season's ArcVillain has a different theme and mode of operatis when antagonizing Scrooge and his family.
** Season 1 had Magica De Spell who was a WickedWitch that needed to rely on her niece Lena to steal Scrooge's dime so she can escape and take vengeance on him and his legacy. Because of her imprisonment, she stays in the shadows while ordering her niece to do her bidding without the Ducks realizing it's her until the season finale.
** Season 2 had General Lunaris, an alien overlord who was a CanonForeigner to the series and manipulated his community of Moonlanders to invade all of planet Earth. Lunaris kept his dark ambitions hidden from [[spoiler:Della Duck]] and only revealed his true colors to [[spoiler:his former commander Penumbra and Donald]]. Also, he doesn't personally hate Scrooge and only sees him as an obstacle to overcome during his invasion.
** Season 3 had F.O.W.L. who have canonical roots in the Disney Afternoon franchise and are focused on eliminating Clan [=McDuck=] for endangering the world with Lunaris' invasion, mixed with their other high-stakes adventures. They start their season trying to avoid being detecting by the Ducks but they're forced to reveal themselves after the events of [[spoiler:"Let's Get Dangerous"]]. And unlike Magica and Lunaris who were the main villains of their season, F.O.W.L. functions as a LegionOfDoom under the direction of [[spoiler:Bradford Buzzard]].

Leslie Meyers acted as the WomanBehindTheMan for PC Principal, every thing bad during season 19 being traced back to her scheming, while Lennart was just one person part of a BigBadEnsemble who gains singular BigBad status when the other villains either became OutOfFocus (the Memberberries) or perform {{Heel Face Turn}}s (Gerald Broflovski and Mr. Garrison). While both of their plans consisted of [[KillAllHumans killing all humans]], Leslie’s reasons for doing so is so that her race of living advertisements can [[TakeOverTheWorld take over Earth]] while Lennart’s reason for his actions is because [[spoiler: he thinks it’s [[ForTheEvulzhilarious]]]].
** The Memberberries of Season 20 greatly contrasts Leslie's race ofAds. Ads featured in Season 19. The Ads serve as [[ArcVillain the sole antagonistic force for a whole season]], Season 19]], the Memberberries must share their role as [[BigBadEnsemble main antagonist with other villains.villains in Season 20.]] The Ads use [[PoliticalOvercorrectness political correctness]] and modern progression to manipulate events, while the Memberberries use nostalgia [[NostalgiaFilter toxic nostalgia]] and [[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain toxic bigotry]] to manipulate people. The Ads are all reliant on [[DragonInChief Leslie Meyers]] to carry out their plan, while the Memberberries are each given a role of equal importance. The Ad's Ads’ pawn PC Principal rebelled rebels against them, while the Memberberries would brainwash Mr. Garrison when he learns of their existence. The Ads would become exposed and implied to have been defeated, while the Memberberries' existence are remains unknown to everyone, everyone aside from those they've brainwashed, brainwashed and [[KarmaHoudini they get away with their crimes.]]
*** Season 19 ArcVillain [[UncannyValleyGirl Leslie Meyers]]
*** [=ManBearPig=] is another example that contrasts with Cartman. Cartman is a regular human child whose a BoisterousWeakling who relies solely on manipulating people to get what he wants. [=ManBearPig=] is an AnimalisticAbomination who is also an InvincibleVillain whose physical force alone is enough to make him a major threat. Both are also revealed to have families in the Paramount Plus specials where they revert to their villainous ways to protect them, but while Cartman chose to stop Stan and Kyle from preventing the BadFuture until his wife convinces him not to, [=ManBearPig=] is forced to do the bidding Pi-Pi who is holding his family hostage and turns on Pi-Pi when his family is freed. Cartman loses his family in the revised future and becomes a homeless alcoholic, ending his threat to society for good (at least in the far future), while [=ManBearPig=] gets his family back before leaving, remaining a potential threat in the future.

** Sugar's very unique when compared to the other villains in that she's portrayed more as a comic relief rather than a legit villain even in the episodes where she officially takes over as the BigBad.

That, and as mentioned above she ultimately feels more like an ArcVillain as the events triggered by her antagonism still would've transpired even without her being there.

Heather relied primarily on her social game and tricking others into working for her, Julia abandoned her fake niceness with relish and got by in the competition by her own skills. Julia also lacks Heather's PlotArmor, as she won her immunities by her own merit rather than random chance, other players screwing up, or Chris throwing out the votes just because.
