Yeah...as with Lord Shen, it's possible that the writers meant for Syndrome's backstory to be sympathetic...

Did you know that in Lotso's case they actually made changes to the film so that people wouldn't think that he was a sympathetic villain? I decided to list that on the trivia tab for his page...that seemed like a good thing to know.

Also, they chose to give Lotso a Fate Worse To Death, while they merely gave Syndrome a cruel and unusual death...suggesting that they didn't think he was as evil as he was.
