OG modern day stories that put villain in sympathetic light? The first one I ever knew was wicked the musical

I feel like it’s very common now to have stories where the traditionally bad characters are given a sympathetic origin. However, when wicked the musical first came out that idea was so revolutionary to me. Were there any other stories that were made in recent time that did that, or is wicked the OG modern story that started the trend?

Edit: I may not have been clear in my question. What im specifically asking is; are there any prominent stories from the 1950s till now, that give a classic villain a sympathetic origin or perspective, that is different from the perspective that the audience is originally given in the original story that, that villain appears in, or is Wicked the first?
