Re: Because that would mean humanizing the villains in their own lives

That's pretty much the other side of the reason why some people prefer the idea of simplistic villains.

As long as they are caricatures, then it's easy to divide the characters into "Them vs Us". The moment they become complex, humanized, and have linear or rational motivations with some element of validity to them outside of pure greed, then the line becomes blurred - and suddenly, either you have to accept that the villains are a result of their circumstances as much as you are, or you are as much the owner of your choices as they are.

A lot of people really hate having to see the world that way...so they don't.
