My favorite villain trope are “heavy is the cape” type villains, where they excuse themselves saying that their horrible actions are a burden they must carry for a greater good, making them unsung heroes in their eyes, but really their motives are selfish

Sounds sorta generic but think Walter White ig, telling himself and everyone that his actions are “for his family” but in reality he just wanted to feel powerful. Roman Reigns might also fit into this, and Eren Yeager could’ve if he was written better in the ending.
