    are there any stories (real/fictional) where a relatively brutal invader was less brutal than the people they ousted and somehow they are considered liberating heroes, and the public is ok with their repressive policies because they are better than before. and the leader is trying to keep the evil lotd vibes going on but he’s beloved by the public.

    feel like it would make for great comedy.

      There is a sci fi series called the Damned Trilogy where warring space aliens stumble across humans and one faction enlists them because they are the most terrifyingly violent species they have ever stumbled upon.

          Sorry, didn’t realize how vague the comment was. I wish someone would turn it into a movie or miniseries. It’s still one of my favorite scifi book series.
