Reframe A Villain Who Reads As Cartoonish

Beta readers keep calling your antagonist cartoonish and you suspect they are right but cannot see how to fix it without rewriting the whole plot. This reframes the motivation around something the villain believes is justified, and suggests one scene where they get to be right. Good for writers deep enough into a draft that a full rewrite is off the table.
