It doesn't usually bother me if it's done to a kind or beautiful character namely as it can be used to show they are stronger than one might normally expect. If you want a good example I'd recommend [Hush (2016) as it's one of the few Horror film where I actually route for the protagonist, the protagonist doesn't make many mistakes in their fight for survival and the villain isn't portrayed as cool or a badass.

I prefer villains typically because they have better lines and are generally more fun to watch especially if the hero is Pure Good. For me it's more the sheer goal or reasoning of why they turned out the way they did or their gimmick. For example Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain as he's given a tragic backstory, occasionally has moments of kindness/delusions and I love the psychological aspect of his attacks.
