Top 5 Movie Villains Who Were Honestly Kind of Right
The bad guys whose arguments still hold up after the credits, even if their methods definitely don't.

His point about Wakanda hoarding its power while the world suffered was strong enough that the movie's ending basically agrees with him.

-
Ozymandias — Watchmen
A monstrous plan, but it actually works, and the heroes end up stuck keeping his secret, which says a lot.
