I think I'll pass on that, thanks. :) But I definitely do understand the phenomenon of Bad Guy as a poor misunderstood woobie who would never hurt anybody who didn't really, really deserve it, despite any and all canonical evidence to the contrary. I have trouble understanding it on any but the most purely intellectual level, though. To my mind, the really interesting bad guys (and good guys, for that matter!) are really interesting precisely because they're way more complex than that.
