If you make a character who is unanimously disliked, ask yourself why. If they're the villain, good! They are meant to be disliked unless there's some other circumstance that makes you need someone to like them. But if they're a good guy, you need to change something. The hero is meant to be at least somewhat likeable, unless there's some other circumstance that makes you need to hate them.
I forgive Feanorians. I forgive Malygos, Deathwing, Jaina and Murozond. Hell, I could probably forgive Grindelwald. I don't forgive him. He makes me uncomfortable (Probably because several people have accused him of sexual misconduct) and he does nothing but antagonize people. You call him such a great character but all he actually does is threaten people and not do anything.
This is directed towards a certain friend who wouldn't know it was them if I flat out said it was to their face.
