I never said that he was tragic; stop trying to take what I'm saying out of context. All I'm saying is that if the film was trying to convey that he wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, they poorly handled it. Again, take Lotso. By the way it looks, Lotso should have a more valid Freudian excuse than Syndrome, but it doesn't disqualify him, because it is explicitly stated that it does not justify what he does. Woody even calls him out for his poor excuse by telling him that he abandoneded Daisy and not the other way around.

By all means, I am just unconvinced that Syndrome meets the absolute heinous standard. I would accept that you may consider him one, but I will not be having these complaints over something as trivial as whether or not he qualifies. This just goes to show how the category is being interpreted as a badge of honor when it clearly isn't. I am getting really annoyed by this mindset.
