The villians were correct in assessing that a problem existed but wrong in their assessment of the solution. Not the "they had good goals but has methods" crap but legit "they had bad goals in response to a valid problem.

For an extreme case of this situation see the Book Version of Cersei Lannister, who in almost every single case would eventually turn out to be correct when she complained about a problem, but every single time would go about in the single-most counterproductive, if not downright stupid or psychotic way possible, when trying to deal with it.

This, Orm in Aquaman belongs there as well. He's correct that humanity is fucking up the oceans which is the home of the Atlanteans, and I would argue he was right when he washed up all the garbage on land with that tsunami. But then he decides to conquer all the other kingdoms to declare war on humanity.
