Hm... I know Stromberg has been brought up before, but to be honest, I can completely understand why; on the one hand, his genocidal plan definitely rivals that of the worst in the franchise, and the way he coldly kills people (even if his secretary did really betray him) really doesn't help. On the other hand, he's also much less self-serving or egotistical about it, like Drax of course, to the point that he looks somewhat tame in comparison.

With that said, I'm actually going to give a "yes", albeit a somewhat reserved one, because the way I see it, there's no especially good reason or justification given for his misanthropic view towards humanity. He may really believe they're corrupt, but this seems to be more because he insists on seeing the worst in them, or at the very least, judge them based on their worst traits, rather than any particularly bad or traumatic experiences that gave him a more understandable motive/reason for becoming disillusioned in the first place. But again, I completely understand why other people don't think so, especially since he isn't nearly as blatantly malicious and self-serving as other Bond villains, so I won't even try to convert their opinions on the matter. I just happen to believe that the possibility of him genuinely believing he's doing humanity a favor is undermined by how shallow and biased his reasoning seems, which leaves him with no truly good points, and a goal that's just as extreme as the others who rank among the worst in the franchise.
