Yup agree. Although, he's not usually the type of villain I'm drawn to because I'm usually not drawn to conflicted villains like him. I usually like full-on evil villains who either firmly believe in what they are and what they do or fully embrace villainy and all that goes with it. But he worked for me. I think people wanted to compare him to Vader, but he was a completely different thing right from the beginning.

Personally I would have loved an ending where he had to live and atone for what he did. But at the same time, him sacrificing himself for Rey worked for me because I feel like it was him saying that she was the one who could heal the galaxy and that even though he'd done all these terrible things, he could do this one good thing and give Rey back to the universe. So I liked it even though it wasn't what I thought I wanted.

But yes, fandom doesn't seem to know what to do with complicated and nuance a lot of the time.

I don't think it's a matter of not knowing what to do. I think it's a preference.

Sometimes yes. But a lot of the time characterization gets flattened in the fandom and people talk as if characters are either perfectly in the right or perfectly evil, with no in-between and nuance. Some Kylo fans justify everything he did while some Kylo haters act as there wasn't any reasons for him going dark and there is nothing at all to his characterization when there is. Don't like it, fun. But it exists.
