"not see them as evil or villainous especially in comparison to those they go against"

That's is what a setting is, also known as a premise. When I write, I establish settings for each of my stories, and it is not up to a reader to reinterpret them as they see fit. Same for us, when we read or watch stories, it is not us who decide what the settings are, for they are set for us.

LOL, I'm soooo tempted to open Villain pages for Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable to illustrate exactly what I mean about how we as fans can completely re- or mis-interpret settings and the actions of characters within them.
