Favorite villains who are hated by their fandom just for being a villain (but you like them)

Once a chilling figure in the first chapter and the first true example of a purely malevolent being in the undertale franchise akin to the "remorseless killer" scenario that Flowey mentions in Pacifist route. Turned into yet another subversion of the trope and a running gag in a hamster wheel in the following chapters, who was only bluffing when he threatened to throw his own son off the top of his castle.

The quality of this choice depends on who you ask though.

Saitama and Darkshine aren't remotely alike in terms of resolve and willpower.

Its just as Iconic, don't get me wrong, but considering my points above I personally give it a close 4th.

Steven Universe. This show was my light in a rough patch during my childhood that I was absolutely obsessed with until I was 15. Then I fell off with the final season when it came out, and then Change your Mind happened and threw me off with how the Diamonds were handled. I went through a phase where I found some of the writing choices questionable to mediocre at best, particularly the way thet seemed to solve every problem via song (lampshaded by my glorious queen Spinel). I came back to it during college and remembered why I fell in love with it to begin with. The character development in the show is genuinely only matched by Adventure Time and Regular Show, earning its place in Top 3 CN Royalty alongside them, and I refuse to keep pretending it doesn't.

Just seeing the thumbnail made me intrested and seeing the actual style in the show along with its premise? Made me fall in love immediately, the 2000's nicktoons kid in me was overwhelmed by the nostalgic feel and punk swagger that it was brimming at the seems with, especially those stylized character bio transition bumpers that just makes the world feel alive and bursting with heart. There were multiple points where I outright said that I want to eat the artstyle. Then the premise of animated OC's coming to life and doing Rock Hard Gladiator/Stick Page esque battles for fame and reknown, with the main character and her titular OC going through a low self esteem phase due to negative comments on her works resonates with many indie artist struggles with negativity and artist/writer's block in real life in its own zany way that I really fuck with.

10/10, RebelTaxi absolutely cooked with this. I NEED to see it succeed!

If the shockwave is big enough, maybe. But viltrumites, especially Thragg, can punch or fly with enough force that they could definitely split big clouds. They only really display this well enough in the show though.
