The thing is Buddy as a characterholds more interest than your average Disney Villain.
He’s a fanboy that got snubbed pretty hard (admittedly he picked a wrong/bad time to try latching on but still) And then he built himself up had a huge working plan in place to not just outdo his childhood icon, but to obscolete him by making ‘everyone’ able to do these sort of things.
It was a really great plan he had. It took into account what you do when you’re tired of being the big Cape, which is more than most villains.
It’s the fact he was willing to Kill that sends him over the slippery slope.
