Where the evil villain will go on a rant about how society is cruel and needs to change and that they're going to change it. The hero opposes this for like zero reasons and somehow we're supposed to be on the hero's side.

Are we really supposed to believe that our society doesn't need to change? Are we supposed to cheer for the status quo even when it's shown to be terrible?

I also hate the sympathetic villain trope where it's shown that the villain is the product of abuse and yet their want for revenge is still treated as unjustified.

    I hate the trope that there's always another bad guy that nobody saw coming who's just worse with even less reasoning behind it being the puppetmaster. In Witches Abroad, this begins to happen but everyone is acting not too irrationally, just their reasoning/material reality now supports other things, and problems are actually resolved for a slightly better place at the end
