Shridhar asked Linsey Miller:

What is the difference between the good motive for a villain compared to the motive of an antihero?

Linsey Miller I think they're the same thing and that where villains and antiheroes differ is in their actions - how they attempt to achieve their goals and their reactions to what hinders them. A villain can have (what we would consider) "good" motives but that doesn't make them an antihero. The reactions to everything are where the line is to me.
