I didn't say that relatable villains are bad or "I will destroy you!"s are good. I don't think that they should be to relatable and the dark pasts in villains are becoming cleshays. It is a bad idea were the villain is so relatable and so sane that you root for their side. Though they should be realistic, they should also be evil, since that is what they are supposed to be. I hate the Mwahahahahah thing, too, but this thing were the villains don't even seem evil and you wonder why the protagonist is fighting him is bad, too.
