Scar was just trying to overthrow the oppressive rule of his brother who shunned certain species to the elephant graveyard. Scar just happened to be a bad leader who was too headstrong to leave Pride Rock when the drought/famine hit.

Johnny in Karate Kid.

Other than the leg thing Johnny acted totally reasonably throughout all of Karate Kid.

Stansson destroyed their beach ball. Total dick move.

It was a beach ball. And the ducks were gaying it up playing with it.

Colonel Nathan R. Jessup

The guy with the sword. Look at that big grin on his face. He's just having fun, and this idiot American flat out murders him.

Son we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it you? You Lieutenant Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility that you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have the luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know, that Santiago's death while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence while grotesque, and incomprehensible, to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that well, you need me on that wall! We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something, you use them as a punchline. I have neither the time, nor the inclination to explain myself, to a man who rises and sleeps, under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and than questions the manner in which I provide them! I'd rather you just said 'thank you', and went on your way

What about murdering the kid's father in front of him and psychologically tormenting him?

I'll try to paraphrase a recent episode of the Imaginary Worlds podcast. That most of the comic book movie villains fill the typical role of protagonist and the heroes fill the typical role of antagonist. Typically the hero of a movie is the one trying to induce change against the villain who is trying to maintain the status quo. Think Luke Skywalker starting a rebellion against Darth Vader and the status quo of the Empire. Most comic book movies swap that and have the villain trying to change things, and the hero trying to prevent it. Often the villain is trying to do the something that may be good, but is using extreme tactics to get it.

Thanos is an eco-warrior that has gone too far
Killmonger was right about Wakanda helping the oppressed, just went about it the wrong way.
Magneto was right.

The ordering of the Code Red was Marine SOP, so no problem there. The doctoring of the air base log books and not immediately accepting responsibility when the careers of two recruiting poster Marines are at stake make him worthy of villain status.

That is why comic book thanos was a much better character. But completely inappropriate for a mass market movie.

He was a jerk to Allie on the beach right? Otherwise I'm with you.

Actually, Allie was a jerk to him on the beach... he wanted to talk about their relationship and she kept turning the radio on loud, so he shut it off to talk... she then promised him she would talk to him, so give her back the radio... he took her at her word and gave it back... then, she ignored her promise and turned it back on. Then, whiny little Daniel inserted himself into an argument that was none of his business... and got his butt kicked (deservedly so).
