A character can’t become a hero if there is no villain he has to fight and win against. Villains are as important to the story as the hero, even though we often hate them, but without them, it wouldn’t be as interesting to watch a movie or read a book.
Even though we are supposed to hate the villains as they are being evil and causing chaos, sometimes they are also relatable and showing emotions that we also experience but suppress. A person on Reddit, Rito_Harem_King wanted to know specific villains that people can’t force themselves to hate and more than 25k people joined the conversation.
We would like to know if a villain that you can’t hate is in this list and if not, fel free to mention them in the comments! Also, don’t forget to upvote the ones that you agree with!

Kronk, I agree 100%. Yzma was charismatic, sure, but still definitely needed to be defeated/turned into a cat because she was mean to Kronk about his spinach puffs.

You're brought up to be your fathers champion as yall conquer the realms only for him to have a change of heart and lock you up. As if that's not bad enough, you're erased from the history of the empire you helped create.
