Wile E Coyote, I just want to see him beat the Road Runner once.

Is Coyote a villain, though? I think he's only following his instincts, just like the cats Tom and Sylvester. None of them are exactly evil.

Star Wars (prequel era stuff) - No, I do not want to root for the increasingly authoritarian government that uses slave armies and commits war crimes.

Yeah, but the big plot twist though is that this government actually is the villain.

True, but a lot of episodes of shows like The Clone Wars portray the Separatists as a bunch of mustache-twirling villains and portray the Republic's crimes as being clever and righteous.

My friend is a Vtuber, check him out.

Found myself rooting for Kira when watching the Death Note movies/series, cos his schemes and machinations were so fun to watch. Also, he got results.

That's fair.

While I thought it was a fun series, and the final season was genuinely great, the earlier seasons especially usually had holes.
