* In ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory3'', Lotso obviously never expected [[spoiler:Woody to return to TheAlcatraz to help his friends after he safely escaped, or for Ken to choose Barbie over him, a la [[Literature/HarryPotter Voldemort's assumption about Snape and Lily]].]]

** ''Film/GoldenEye'': When [[spoiler:Alec Trevelyan]]/Janus explains how he plans to steal from the Bank of England and cover it up with an EMP blast from his KillSat [[spoiler:as part of his revenge against the British government for having his parents killed]], Bond simply states that this still doesn't justify his crimes as it only "boils down to petty theft", and that he's nothing more than a "common thief", which does [[VillainousBreakdown infuriate]] [[spoiler:Trevelyan]].

*** Following the FinalBattle, [[spoiler:Blofeld offers 007 a chance to FinishHim when he's at Bond's mercy. But after some initial hesitation, 007 refuses by stating that he is [[NotWorthKilling "out of bullets"]], leaving Blofeld a bit dumbfounded at Bond's rationale to spare him and why he refused to kill him, despite acknowledging his capture and their CainAndAbel relationship. It also escapes Blofeld's mind in the fact that despite being a ProfessionalKiller, [[EveryoneHasStandards there are certain moral lines even 007 will not cross]], and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters while Bond may be able to achieve his revenge, stooping to Blofeld's level won't solve anything.]]]]

* In the climax of ''Film/HocusPocus'', Winifred doesn't understand why Max [[spoiler:was willing to put his life on the line for his sister, unable to understand the love that siblings share.]]

* In ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'', [[spoiler:Prince Hans' reaction to Anna's HeroicSacrifice and resulting recovery from her frozen heart has left him [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove perplexed and dumbstruck]], and looks legitimately confused by Anna's statement about him being the only one with a [[TheSociopath "frozen heart"]]. And from his POV in ''Literature/AFrozenHeart'', when he tells Elsa that Anna is dead because of her and causes the snowstorm to stop, he briefly notices how Elsa is taking it, and is genuinely baffled at the grief she has for her beloved sister, so for a moment, Hans starts [[IgnoredEpiphany to realize he might have gone too far...]] but he quickly gets over it.]]

* ''Franchise/JamesBond'': This is a recurring FatalFlaw for many Bond villains in the movies — because they're criminally insane megalomaniacs who think they're {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s and {{Knight Templar}}s, so when they do a MotiveRant about their {{Evil Plan}}s, it quickly becomes clear that they're just [[ItsAllAboutMe talking about themselves and their selfishness]]. They're trying to [[PsychologicalProjection psychologically project their viewpoint and are determined to justify themselves and their causes to 007]] [[HannibalLecture while monologuing about his own flaws]], only for Bond to make a sarcastic but highly accurate remark about their insanity, [[VillainousBreakdown angering them]]. For example:

** Also, The trolls entertain True Love's Kiss as being only one of the ways to save a frozen heart, [[spoiler:but Hans clearly believes that "True Love" can only come from the love of a man and a woman. He doesn't consider familial love, though given his own strained relationship with his family and what Anna had told him about her relationship with Elsa, [[FreudianExcuse of course he wouldn't]]. And as he grew up, the abuse Hans got has slowly twisted and corrupted him to the point that he coldly sees [[ManipulativeBastard people as objects]], [[CrapsackWorld thinks it's a dog-eat-dog world out there]] [[TheSocialDarwinist with only the fittest surviving]], and [[LoveIsAWeakness views love as an exploitable flaw]] that's relegated to the weak-willed (namely Elsa and Anna), and it also really shows how warped his mind has become over the years, rendering him unable to understand or even experience love thanks to a [[TykeBomb harsh upbringing]]. As a result, Anna chews him out on this when [[MachiavelliWasWrong she tells that he's the only person with a "frozen heart"]].]]

* ''Franchise/JamesBond'': This is a recurring motif and FatalFlaw for most Bond villains in the movies — because most of them are criminally insane megalomaniacs who think they're {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s and {{Knight Templar}}s, so whenever they explain their motives and discuss their {{Evil Plan}}s, it quickly becomes clear to 007 that they're just talking about themselves and their selfishness, as they're trying to [[PsychologicalProjection psychologically project their viewpoint]] [[HannibalLecture and explain his own flaws]], only for Bond to make a sarcastic but accurate remark about their insanity, [[VillainousBreakdown angering them]].

** ''Film/LicenceToKill'': Throughout the film, 007 drops hints to Sanchez that his henchmen are plotting to betray him. And because Sanchez doesn’t truly understand loyalty (and the fact that it is a two-way street, essentially), he falls for the lies. He thinks loyalty is only bottom-up, not top-down. And because he is not loyal to those around him, it is easy for Sanchez to believe the worst of them.

* Elsa Schneider in ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade''. Throughout the movie, she can’t understand that Indy doesn’t want to find the grail for the same reasons as her. She insists that [[NotInThisForYourRevolution she “believes in the grail, not the Swastika”]], but Indy retorts that she “stood up to be counted with the enemy of everything the Grail stands for.” In the end, she refuses to believe that the grail isn’t meant for her to keep. As she heads for the exit, she crosses the Great Seal and triggers the temple’s collapse. She almost falls into a chasm but Indy catches her. Instead of letting him save her, she pulls a hand free to reach the grail that she dropped. She comes so close, but her glove slips off the hand Indiana was holding and she loses her life. Henry Sr. later comments that Elsa thought the grail was “a prize” and she didn’t understand the spiritual meaning behind it.
