The Vampire Diaries alumni are all set to appear in exciting upcoming projects. Paul Wesley will be seen in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Joseph Morgan in DC’s Titans. These actors are remembered for their iconic roles in The Vampire Diaries, especially villainous Klaus. Almost every bad guy in TVD was well-loved by the fandom, but almost everyone rooted for the Mystic falls gang to win.
However, there were some instances where it made sense for the villains to succeed in their plans. These schemes were not always evil but were required for them to be vindicated or to free their people, like Rebekah getting her revenge on Elena or Markos liberating the Travelers. Just these few times, the villains deserved their wins.
When Esther Tried To Kill Her Children
It may be merciless for a mother to kill her children, but Esther’s motivations lay on moral grounds. She had created monsters when she turned her children into Original vampires, and they had indeed outlived several life spans. They weren’t useful to the world, and it was time to put them down.
Like all powerful witches in The Vampire Diaries, Esther wanted to restore the balance in nature. Klaus, Rebekah, Elijah, Kol and Finn had terrorized and used people for their own benefit too many times, and she would have done well to finish them, once and for all.
When Katherine Attempted To Gain Freedom From Klaus
Katherine always survived against all odds, but the odds were Klaus, almost every time. He had hounded her and made her life a living hell, so it was well within Katherine’s right to try to bargain her way out of the mess by getting the moonstone to him.
It was true that this meant that Elena was put in harm’s way, but Katherine had served her sentence for Klaus for too long. She deserved a way out, and she had no qualms about putting someone else in harm’s way to get a liberated life for herself.
When Klaus Unlocked His Werewolf Side
Even Klaus, the big bad Original, had a reason for being so evil. He was not his father’s child, which was something that Mikael had abused him for, and Esther had tried to hide. She had even damped down Klaus’ wolf side to hide her affair.
Klaus never reached his full power and potential, which had been controlled by his terrible parents. It was his right to become his true, werewolf self, and it was not his fault that it had been locked away behind a bloody ritual. Thankfully, Klaus did get better as the show progressed.
When Rebekah Went After Elena
Elena had made the worst decisions, and one of them was stabbing Rebekah in the back, literally. She could have had an Original in her corner, but she took Rebekah into confidence, made her confess her fears and hopes, and then daggered her.
Rebekah had been betrayed enough times by her own kin, and this treachery was personal. Rebekah went after Elena and made her pay, which in this case, was fair.
When Qetsiyah Got Revenge On Silas
It was a bit unbelievable that the doppelgänger line originated from a lovers’ spat, but Silas had betrayed Qetsiyah to an unforgivable degree. After being cheated on and hoodwinked by Amara and Silas, Qetsiyah deserved to see Amara suffer and Silas get stuck on the Other Side with her.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and Qetsiyah embodied this wholeheartedly. She needed closure to the whole incident and this was her way of getting it.
When Markos Freed The Travelers
Markos was not a terrible person, because his objective was only to liberate the Travelers from their curse. They couldn’t ever settle down and put down roots in any one place because they were cursed, and nature would plague them if they ever did.
He brought down the Other Side and took some blood from Stefan and Elena, but it was all to get rid of a misplaced vendetta against his people.
When Kol Stopped Silas’ Awakening
The most underrated of all the Originals, Kol actually made a lot of sense this one time, and he was dismissed and killed for it. While his siblings raced towards the cure, he tried to foil their plans because Silas was all-powerful and could vanquish everyone with a snap of his fingers.
He was thinking straight, and the others weren’t, when he kidnapped Damon, ended Mary and tried to kill Jeremy, because he had an objective. He deserved to win in this case.
When Rayna Avenged Her Father
Julian’s cruelty towards a young and innocent Rayna led to her becoming a Huntress and going after vampires. Being compelled to kill her father was not trivial, and Rayna deserved to avenge Vicente’s death by hunting down Julian and other vampires.
Vampires never were a faultless people, and their existence was pure violence. They were predatory in nature, so it was fair that there was a bigger predator who was out to get them.
When Sybil Threw Seline Under The Bus
Seline had manipulated and lied to Sybil, feeding her human flesh without telling her what it was. She made her a cannibal and left her in the Vault at the Armory, so Sybil’s dismissal of Seline from her plans was completely justified.
She had led her down a dark path and never shown remorse for it. Sybil only wanted freedom from Cade and a better life for herself. It was justified that she tried to get a better deal by throwing her under the bus.
When Cade Became King Of Hell
Cade had been a kind and benevolent man when he was alive. His psychic powers were condemned for no good reason — he was burnt at the stake because his people did not take the time to understand him and his strengths.
So, it made sense that he created Hell and chose to punish people the way he had. He had been crucified for no real reason, so rounding up the souls of people who did heinous things and punishing them was just and fair.
