There's times when I do because I want to see something different other than "The hero wins" type of ending or outcome

I rooted for Saitou while watching Kenshin ... Aku Soku Zan :takedat:

I rooted for Black Beetle while watching Young Justice .. the way he was so casually dismissive of the team was :noah: to me

Only if the villain has a somewhat sympathetic cause. I don't root for villains if they're just killing people and trying to end the world just cause he/she can.

Type of villains I root for a while are Yagami Light from Death Note, Tywin Lannister (dude is vile but you get why he does what he does) and Jigsaw Killer .

No.

But when I watch horror movies and they suck terribly, I end up rooting for the heroes/protagonists to get killed off.

Nope...cause what would I look like rooting for Hans Gruber against John McClane? Or any of the buls vs Riggs and Murtaugh? Lo Pan over Jack & Wang? Nancy vs Freddy? rooting for Annie Wilkes in Misery?
