For Clones, Jango was an enemy combatant in a battle, was working for a cabal that - as far as Mace would've been aware - sought to strong-arm the Jedi and Republic with a massive droid army, and perhaps most pointedly was trying to kill Mace at the time. For Clone Wars, Plo Koon apologizes on behalf of the whole Jedi Council after Ahsoka's innocence is proven, and as far as I recall, he's very much not meant to be seen as being in the right during the arc in question. And even if he was, that example and the Boba one both belong on the Western Animation subpage. As for Revenge, all of the actions alluded to here have justification. His attitude towards Anakin during the first Jedi Council scene - which was being stern rather than condescending towards him at worst - was the result of Anakin essentially throwing a hissy fit over not being given a Jedi Master rank to go with the council seat he only got because of Palpatine's influence. Palpatine is the Big Bad of the film, and as far as Mace can tell he's been using the Clone Wars as an excuse to amass authority for himself and remain Chancellor past his term limits under the guise of "emergency powers"; even if he doesn't know Palpatine's a Sith, Mace wanting to keep an eye on him is more than understandable. Finally, all Mace says regarding seizing control of the Senate is that it's a step the Jedi Council would have to take if Palpatine were to be removed from office (a measure suggested by another council member, and only in the event that Palpatine refuses to give up his emergency powers after the effective end of the war); Yoda's words afterwards make clear that it's meant to be seen as a Necessary Evil at best.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Despite being a Jedi master and the second highest ranking member of the Jedi Order, Mace Windu tends to embody the worst aspects of the Jedi. In ''Film/AttackOfTheClones'', he beheads Jango Fett instead of disarming him and his face afterwards seem to suggest he doesn't care that Jango was a person (though in his defence, he was defending himself), and in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' he doesn't apologize or try to explain himself to Boba Fett (and by that point, he knew that Boba saw him behead Jango), [[KickTheDog instead basically telling him to get over it]]. He is also incredibly callous when dealing with Ahsoka, being that he is the one leading in the vote for her excommunication and [[NeverMyFault then not apologizing to her when she is revealed to be innocent, instead saying it was the will of the Force]]. Lastly, in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', he is distrusting and callous to Anakin, openly talking down to him in front of the council, denying him privileges, and telling Obi-Wan and Yoda that he doesn't trust him, while at the same time giving him orders to spy on someone he viewed as a close friend for many years. He even comes dangerously close to humoring a plan of the Jedi staging a coup against the Chancellor, forcibly taking over the Senate, before Yoda immediately stops any such thinking. This behavior makes Mace come off as an emotionless manipulative jerk who cares little about the feelings of others rather than an altruist keeper of the peace.

* ''Film/{{Parents}}'': While it might be understandable Michael was afraid to face his father's wrath, he still left Millie Dew, one of the few people who actually believe the truth about his parents, to die. He runs upstairs to his room, but not before shutting Millie in the basement just as Nick comes home, and left to her own devices, gets killed in short order. Considering he has an idea of what his father is like, you would think he would have at least tried to help her escape, but she's killed and her blood is pretty much on his hands.

* Neil Shaw in the ''Film/TheArtOfWar'' films, to more and more of an extent as the series goes on. In the first film he's a competent enough agent, though kind of a {{Jerkass}}. In the second film he makes numerous basic errors of logic and judgement, and at the end he [[spoiler:casually murders his love interest]] just in the name of getting the villain to frame himself. The third film takes it [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to Eleven]], as he unknowingly takes the bad guy [[spoiler:or rather bad girl]] into his confidence, then ends up [[MoralEventHorizon killing at least a dozen or so South Korean intelligence agents]], before unwittingly facilitating the assassination of South Korea's U.N. representative and nearly getting the Secretary-General of the U.N. herself killed. After all that you'd think the Secretary-General would be only too happy to hand Shaw over to the South Korean authorities and let them hang him out to dry, but she instead ends the film by telling Shaw that he's the only person the U.N. can trust with their lives.

* ''Film/SgtKabukimanNYPD'': Even to an antihero without mercy to criminals, many of Kabukiman's punishments seem disproportionate, such as turning a prostitute and a pimp into three sushi rolls. This is more-or-less invoked in the character's subsequent appearance in ''Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger IV'', where Kabukiman has been reduced to TheAlcoholic, who somehow still garners a great deal of respect from the citizens of Tromaville (he gets a personal introduction from the city's Mayor during a press conference) despite the fact that he repeatedly attempts to assault women (one on live TV, no less).

* ''Film/CrazyStupidLove'': Robbie is presented by the film as a plucky, charming kid who never gives up on his love of his babysitter, even when the odds are stacked against him. Unfortunately, his love quest involves constantly following the girl around badgering her to date him, staging elaborate displays of affection that make her a laughing stock, acting like she's cheating on him when he finds out she likes someone else, and even turning his valedictorian speech into a passive aggressive rant about not believing in love anymore because a crush turned him down. Add in the fact that this comes to light because she caught him masturbating to her, which he has [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior absolutely no embarrassment about]], and how he truly seems to believe he's [[EntitledToHaveYou entitled to a relationship]] with her because he's "nice", and many people end up seeing him as a CreepyChild StalkerWithACrush. The fact that he never learns a lesson about respecting people's wishes and not making them feel uncomfortable, and instead [[spoiler: gets rewarded for his behavior with nude photographs of his crush]] makes it even harder to root for him. Slightly mitigated by him apologising to her for making her feel uncomfortable and saying that he's not going to pursue her for now, but still.

* ''Film/KnockedUp'': Creator/KatherineHeigl's much-maligned declaration that the movie portrays women as demanding harpies may have had a bit of a point. The movie (or, at the very least, the fans) is ''way'' more sympathetic toward Ben. He's lovable despite getting well into his twenties with no ambitions or plans for the future, happily living off settlement money (and illegally in the country). At the dinner table, he openly talks about wanting to skip town when he found out Alison was pregnant. He did very little to prepare for her pregnancy and because she essentially has ''one'' moodswinging meltdown she's treated like a cruel bitch. Ben becomes the hero of the movie for realizing basic responsibility, and he never really has to apologize for being a bit of a {{jerkass}} to Alison. But still, Alison is the harpy.
