I have a 20 month old son so I watch a lot of kids TV right now...
Fi Fi and the flower tots.
The bad guys are a wasp named stingo and a slug named slugsy. the tots have all of the commerce in their community, running the store, the landscaping, the artisans, the bakeries. All in nice houses getting on well together.
Slugsy and Stingo seem to be the only ones who have to share a home which is a run down ghetto looking shack. They have no job as the flower tots seem to have all of the gainful employment and resources and their main motivation seems to be the stealing of food, so they can eat. Those dirty bourgeois flower tots foil them every time.
I'd argue it could even be race that keeps them excluded and poor as the bee and the gooseberry don't seem to have a jobs but never go without. They are just straight up racist about wasps and slugs.
Ducktales
Id like to add the Beagle Boys from ducktales as well. Scrooge keeps all of his money in a massive vault he swims in, doesn't invest it in the community or create any jobs. The beagle boys are ex cons who cannot find work and they just want a share of the wealth Scrooge is sitting on. All power too them. It would not affect Scrooges quality of life to redistribute his wealth, through investment of charity.

OT: Supporting the villains is about the only way I was ever to manage to watch Dragonball Z. Well, that and liquor.
In gaming, I actually prefer the Enclave's viewpoint in Fallout 3 rather than Rivet City scientistststststs. Of course, part of that's because Three Dog is getting irritating.
What!? That's Domo...he's from a Japanese kid's show...sort of...it's more of an ad type dealy.QuickDEMOL1SHER said:
Anyway...someone mentioned never rooting for the Nazis above...well, there was -one- instance where I can think of that being true, in Inglorious Basterds: Hans Landa.
I know...I feel bad about it, but damn, the man was just so suave!
Douglas Shepherd, from Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Absolutely badass, and it saddened me that I had to kill him due to his role in Pandora Tomorrow, even if his plan was literally "Cause a war and hope America comes out of it looking better."
Also, Paxton Fettel.
His hallucinogenic elusiveness was something I found particularly effective in FEAR. One of the reasons I loved the game so much.
Not Palpatine preicesely, but I always rooted for the empire.
You can't blame the stormtroopers: they are paid to uphold he law and bring order to the universe, or they are clones, with their singular purpose being following orders.. If you, say, replaced Palpatine with someone who is not a complete homicidal bastardous psychopath, you would have a prospering... empire.

I can see what you're saying here, but I always find myself on the side of the natives in any conflict. The story in Avatar is happening all over the world and something has to be done about it! I am always against large corporations and money being the deciding factor in the future of an entire culture.KingGolem said:
About the question you asked, in Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, I found myself wanting to be on the side of the Akrid. Their world has been invaded and they are doing everything they can to defend the balance of their eco-system. I still enjoy the game though, the boss battles are always epic.
