Well a good example of that is star wars, seeing as you compared Locust to Darth Vader. Assuming not everyone has seen the new one or any at all, I wont spoil too much of anything, but the new villian in sw 7 has a lot more emotion than Darth Vader did in the origional series. Yes, Vader has obvious emotion at the end of sw 6, but all the way through 4 and 5 he is just this character of pure evil, like the emperor. The emperor and Vader are cool characters, but not as relatable as the new villian in sw 7.

Sigma is cool and so is Felix, but Locust is the one who is really interesting. Making a new villian who has conflict within himself instead of a character who has the sole purpose of being evil is more relatable because as viewers we can relate to Locust because we have all been in bad positions we werent sure were justifiable before. And Locust is still a badass despite the fact he questions what he does. We all want Felix to die, but it would be nice if Locust got a happier ending. That said, in the next RvB installment making a strong but conflicted character who isnt weakened by the conflict but doesnt remind us of Locust will be hard.
