* PlayedForLaughs in one ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' music video that has Marvin the Martian explaining [[https://youtu.be/zRIzEdHT4b4 in song]] that not all Martians are ScaryDogmaticAliens and they're just like us... then concludes by threatening an EarthShatteringKaboom in response to being insulted.

* ''VideoGame/{{XCOM}}'' traditionally leaned hard into AliensAreBastards, but ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' starts to show things from their perspective as it's emphasized that the various alien species fought by LaResistance were ultimately slaves to [[GalacticConquerer the Ethereals]] just like [[VichyEarth humans now were]], with the Skirmishers being an entire faction of [[DefectorFromDecadence former ADVENT troops]] helping fight back. In ''VideoGame/XCOMChimeraSquad'', after the Ethereals were overthrown aliens slowly began to peacefully assimilate into human society (except [[TheFriendNobodyLikes the Andromedons]]), making the AlienAutopsy scenes in the previous game a bit awkward in retrospect.

** The vorcha are a primitive race which have never developed space travel, but some stowaways on spaceships find work as expendable mercenaries or pirates, so the only ones you encounter are hostile. It's explained they come from a very hostile planet with scarce resources, which makes them naturally tribal and violent as they have to constantly fight each other for what little there is. They have a powerful HealingFactor and a very short lifespan, which contributes to their violent tendencies (they can adapt to very hostile conditions and survive otherwise fatal injuries, and if they die, it doesn't really matter because they only live about twenty years at maximum). The other races consider them a pestilence, but it's been proven that their aggression is cultural, not inherent; a vorcha raised in a kind and empathetic environment will also grow to be kind and empathetic. They will also join the other races in the battle against the Reapers in the third game.

* In the '80s animated film ''WesternAnimation/FireAndIce'' there's a race of [[FrazettaMan Neanderthal-like humanoids]]. They do the bidding of the evil sorceress and her son and are pretty brutal about their business. However, towards the middle of the movie, one of them gets injured a hell of a lot, while pursuing the escaped beautiful princess and is literally limping towards her out of sheer willpower. While she kills it, you can't help but feel sorry for him, trying so hard and through such pain (then again, the sorceress is [[YouHaveFailedMe pretty brutal)]]. After the sorceress and her son are beaten, the hero wants to kill a random survivor Neanderthal but the same princess stops him. She tells him now it's time to forgive them since without the sorceress they're basically harmless.
