Sympathetic villains are good.

Unsympathetic heroes are better.

The Disney motivation of toxic positivity that makes for sympathetic villains and sympathetic heroes is still shite.

There's difference between sympathetic villains and "akshually the villain was a good guy at heart but he's just misunderstood".

A villain can be pure evil and the public will love him or even root for him if done right.

Good example, Magneto's goals are not even sympathetic (he wants to genocide humans lol) but he's a fun character.

An "unsympathetic hero" is just a Mary Sue.
