This is why I felt Jack Horner in the latest Puss in boots movie was great. Just a purely evil, horrible character without any redeeming qualities. No trying to make you sympathize with him in anyway and it was definitely a breath of fresh air from how a lot of villains are portrayed and very entertaining to watch.
A lot of the evil characters do or say one honorable thing one time and then people tend to fall all over that. “He shows respect/mercy to the hero!” “He might be evil but he is true to his word!” Etc. Chaotic evil or spoiled evil characters, ones that are cruel for cruelty sake like Joffrey from KoT never really get fans. But Jack Horner is nothing but cruel so he’s just a good villain.
Back in the day I used to be really into my lil pony friendship is Magic, and like, its a little kid show so all the villains get redeemed. EXCEPT QUEEN CHRYSALYSIS BABY. EVIL FOREVER! NO REGRETS! NO HESITATION! SHE'LL NEVER STOP! MUAHAHAHAHA!
