Impulse

Villains can do good deeds.

James works on his schematics for the break-in bot, which he intends to use to rob the bank. When James’s mom calls him up to dinner, he tells her about his evil, bank-robbing scheme, and she provides constructive feedback. James takes it well, and then runs off to build the break-in bot with this feedback. They then go to rob the bank, and James and the break-in bot decide to give out some of the money they stole because James figures other people could benefit from it as well. James gets called heroic, which hurts his feelings because he wants to be known as a villain, and then somebody explains to him that he can still be a villain despite his generous and kind morals, which allows James to accept that he’s a villain in his own heroic way.
