I was thinking about The Omen remake yesterday (long story) and I thought it would have been a worthy undertaking if they dropped the whole Damien actually being the Antichrist from the story. So instead there was just this little innocent kid that one bunch of religious nutjobs think is the antichrist and want to worship and another think he is the antichrist and want to destroy him, with an increasingly paranoid adoptive father stuck in the middle of this (the evil being the people around the child not the child himself). All the deaths could be accidents or deliberate murders.

He could then grow up to become the thing everyone said he is because everyone said he was the thing he would one day grow up to be.

This could could be extended into the Star Wars prequels, you have one bunch of force wielding warriors who support the Republic despite it faults and another who think the Republic is beyond saving and want a start from scratch despite the chaos it would cause. To each other the other side would be seen as evil. The evil would come from what they do to maintain their point of view rather than there actually being one group who are evil and another who are good.

You get hints of this in the PT as we saw it but it's never really followed up (it more of a ploy used by the already evil Palpatine to get the already twisted Anakin to drop the pretense and put on the black hat).
