* ''VideoGame/{{Halo}}'': The ancient Forerunners believed they possessed the Mantle of Responsibility, a sacred duty to steward the galaxy's biodiversity, by virtue of being its most advanced and powerful civilization. While they paid lip service to the idea that they would one day relinquish the Mantle to another species and allow themselves to fade away (hence why they called themselves Forerunners), in practice the Mantle was an excuse to control and suppress the galaxy's other civilizations to maintain Forerunner hegemony in perpetuity.

* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'': [[Characters/SupermanGeneralZod General Zod]] wholeheartedly thinks that because of his belief that his race is the absolute best, his kind has the right to do and enact on whatever their whims would allow them to and they're not above invading and attacking other planetary races under the pretense that they're inferior to what Kryptonians are capable of and they can be destroyed for all he cares about. At the end of the day, all other races should either be subject to Zod's will or wiped off clean.

* In ''Film/TheArrival'', one of the aliens tells the protagonist that humans don't deserve this planet, since they're so keen on ruining it. In fact, in their mind they're helping us along on our way to extinction by using secret underground factories to conduct HostileTerraforming to their native environment.

* ''Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyVol2'': Ego, as a nearly omnipotent Celestial, believes that it his "purpose" to [[AssimilationPlot convert every planet in the universe into more of him]]. The death of every other being in existence doesn't matter to him because they are so ''lacking'' in comparison to a Celestial.
* Megatron (and probably the other Decepticons) in ''Film/{{Transformers}}'', who says that "Humans don't deserve to live."
