Sounds like Even Evil Has Standards applying to one but not the other villain.

Even Evil Has Standards combined with Hypocrisy, maybe.
I first listed this under even evil has Standards but now i am not so sure anymore. A bad guy does many bad Things. But when another bad guy does something bad he is surprised how bad someone could be. He did not even expect it! - Its also implied that he thinks that the other bad guy is too evil and did what noone should do.
Here is the original entry:
Max Bremmer says killing hundreds of People who were on a ship can be justified because he was angry on the Company who build the ship. But he also says "Who could have guessed that the imperial German navy would torpedo a passenger ship?!" - during World War 1! Why is he so surprised?
So what Trope is this?
