You know what? I have a fantasy setting in mind with a huge plot twist. There's this large empire...and it's not super evil bent on world domination! They'll never see it coming. Like, there's foreshadowing of tropes seen in evil empires, but it's all red herrings and misunderstandings. XD Like this gravely voiced guy high up in the empire with an eyepatch, ominous word choices, and dramatic posing is actually a nice guy.
