Bad guys from mythology who aren't that bad - Mordred did nothing wrong

[jorgoth]

I'll start:

Morgana le Fay from the Arthurian mythos. Specifically, an incident (I think from Le Mort d'Artur, but of course feel free to correct me on that) where she gave out a goblet that any woman who was unfaithful to her husband would be unable to handle without spilling. The objection was that this would lead to strife in King Arthur's court, and yes, it would, at least in the short term. Half the stories in LMDA involved some form of marital infidelity, and yes, there would be a rash of duels to the death and hangings of unfaithful wives, but after that, discipline would have been fucking SOLID. No more drama, no more bullshit, just knights being knights.

Satan is a pretty obvious one.

Hades is pretty much the king of this. Just wants to chill with Persephone, doesn't try to fuck everything in sight, isn't particularly petty.

Morgan got some good stuff with the latest arc in FGO, even when she is still evil. And fate Mordred is cute and dumb.

Yeah and he is even willing to make deal with mortals.
Like that one time Musician came to Underworld asking for return of his wife.
And Hades allowed it, she was going to follow behind him back to surface,but he must not look at her until they leave underworld.
And Hades fulfilled his part of deal and didnt even try to trick him to fail.
It was Musician fault that he failed at the last moment.

Prometheus. Yeah well he wasn't a villain by any merit. Dude was just the mortals sympathiser so he end up in everlasting torture for letting them to have a bit of warm.

Judas. He just shut down some retards go fund me and refused to help him anymore.

Someone said it already: Lucifer in snake form.
All the slithering fuck said was you wont die, and gave humans consciousness, or what ever youd call it. Made them aware? You know what I mean.

YAWH is the real villain in the old Testament. Everyone's getting together to build a tower to heaven -fuck em, give them the brain scramblies and scatter them across the earth.
What? Man has been corrupted and perverse? Why should I offer them guidance b drown everyone!
Kill your son to prove your loyal to me.
No! Stop it you asshole! I was only fucking with you.
Oh yeah and he killed all those egyptian kids. I dont think they had any say in egyptian policies...

To be fair, all that Jew Gold was weighing him down.

Demiurge tbh. I don’t trust any bitch named Sophia and as chaotic as life is it ain’t half as bad as any hell she could make.

Satan is a pretty obvious one.

The only kind of person who believes this is someone who themselves is evil.

Paris of Troy. All of the legends about his life pre-Helen talk at length about his intelligence, his courage, and his honesty. That's why the gods chose him to judge which of the goddesses was the most beautiful, leading him to choose Aphrodite when she promised him the most beautiful woman in the world. That was Helen, of course. Some accounts say that he stole Helen from her husband, others that she willingly fled with him. She certainly seems to have been content with him during their time together in Troy.

The Greeks did a pretty good job of blackening his name, for being the 'cause' of the war (trade routes control was the probable actual reason) and because he was the one to kill Achilles, despite being a far inferior warrior. Bonus points because he did it with an arrow, which was not considered exactly a coward's weapon, but was much less respected than actual hand-to-hand combat.

Jesus is pretty ok i guess, even if he killed all those people.

His brother was Way more Heroic. Hector was sorry for killing the wrong Warrior in Achilles armor and went out to fight against the raging half god achilles to protect his family and people and because it was the rightful thing to do.
