* ''Franchise/TheIncredibles''

** In the sequel ''WesternAnimation/Incredibles2'', there's also [[spoiler:Evelyn Deavor, a.k.a. ''the real'' Screenslaver, whose ruthless actions against supers were actually rooted from a rather tragic story, as both of her parents unfortunately lost their lives from intruding criminals (largely thanks to their reliance on superheroes). Additionally, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes she does love her whole family dearly]], thus, much like Mirage, this makes Evelyn herself more sympathetic than Syndrome ever was (who instead has [[EvilIsPetty a much pettier reason]] behind his descent into villainy)]].
** Played with in the short film ''WesternAnimation/JackJackAttack'', where the titular character's babysitter Kari [=McKeen=] gets frustrated by his oblivious antics (since she wasn't aware that he's a super), though this gets straighter after the arrival of Syndrome, who, unbenownst to her, is a supervillain who tried to "take care" of the baby as a replacement "sitter" (as he falsely insists) for her (when really, it's just for his pettily vengeful intentions).

*** However, the most irredeemable character on the show is likely [[spoiler:Eddy's Brother]] who is a major tyrant and [[spoiler BigBrotherBully]] that is responsible for [[spoiler:Eddy's]] worse behaviour. Even then he may still only share his spot with the Kankers given that the Kankers [[spoiler:don't seem to have actually learned their lesson that sexual harassment is wrong by the end of the movie]].

* '''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade'': Dr. Elsa Schneider, an art historian who [[spoiler:secretly works for the Nazis with her boss Walter Donovan, had actually managed to display more genuine humanity than he did despite being a {{greed}}y FemmeFatale herself (best shown when she was emotionally strucked after Donovan brutally shot Dr. Henry Jones Sr., the titular character's father)]].

*** Addwaitya (primarily because he [[spoiler:ruthlessly killed her father Spellbinder, to which Addwaitya's own living soul would've helped in reviving Spellbinder himself, even though it backfired once it was done]]).

* ''Film/DickTracy'' has the FemmeFatale Breathless Mahoney, a night club performer who worked under the crime lord Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice, who is rather abusive to her. She also has romantic feelings for the titular character himself, to which she tries to seduce him for such reason, but fails in doing so due to him having a lover already. [[spoiler:She secretly works as an independent robber, as well, adopting the alias "The Blank", where it involves wearing a mask that appears to be faceless. At the movie's climax, she aids Tracy in defeating Big Boy, albeit with [[AlasPoorVillain the cost of her own life]] via gunshot wounds from her old boss]].

* ''Film/{{Matilda}}'': Harry and Zinnia Wormwood were both instinctively neglectful parents to their children Michael and Matilda. However, Zinnia has proven herself to be less abusive than her husband (especially given that he's a fraudulent car salesman). This is best shown near the end of the movie, when she had deeper thoughts about surrendering Matilda to Miss Honey Trunchbull for adoption, to which she had the will in doing so as opposed to her husband, and later gives a final heartwarming goodbye to her and Harry's only daughter, as the rest of the Wormwood famiy besides Matilda herself were about to move to Guam to avoid arrest from the FBI for Harry's criminal fraud.

* ''Literature/CrestOfTheStars'': put on full display during the Lobnas II prison world arc. Lobnas II is a PenalColony full of "the most despicable criminals imaginable". It is gender-segregated, but when the prisoners revolt with the intention of forming their own society on the planet, the main focus of the arc is getting the female prisoners off the planet so [[BabyFactory they won't be forcibly used for breeding]] by the male prisoners. Throughout the story arc, the female prisoners are treated purely as victims who need protection, despite ostensibly having committed just as horrible crimes as the men. We're even told that most of the female prisoners are victims of sexual assault crimes, and that these were the motivators for them turning to crime themselves. The men get no similar justification.

* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': From the original series' two primary villains, Princess Azula, despite her cunning and no-nonsense attitude, is actually '''A LOT''' more capable of displaying emotional vulnerability than the Fire Lord Ozai did, as well. [[spoiler:This is best shown at her ultimate defeat during the four-parter "Sozin's Comet", where she can even be seen shedding genuine tears while she's on [[AlasPoorVillain her rather tragic breakdown]].]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania3SummerVacation'', Ericka Van Helsing had aversive views against monsters in general, as taught by her great-grandfahter Prof. Abraham Van Helsing, who is a monster hunter himself. But, after interacting with Count Dracula, who is a vampire, she slowly starts to genuinely reconsider her views about monsters, something that her own great-grandfather was originally against, to which it would lead to her to [[HeelFaceTurn completely change for the better]]. [[spoiler:The same thing happened to Abraham himself, as well, especially after he was saved by his former archenemy Dracula.]]
