What villain's reasoning for them being "evil" made the most sense to you?

Celestials put eggs in planets and when the population reaches a certain amount that celestial egg would hatch to give birth to a new celestial destroying the planet in the process

Okay, but Thanos only delays by a very small amount of time the destruction of the planet and adds much suffering on top of that inevitable outcome.
Also, according to his own philosophy of sacrificing for the greater good, the Celestials birth new galaxies when they're born which end up containing much more life that they took with them. So they do Thanos' job much better. Why would he try to stop them?
Finally, if he knew about the Celestials and intended to avoid them destroying the planets where they were hidden, why couldn't he not just snap them away directly instead of hoeing the populations living on their planet?
Thanos just doesn't make any sense
Iron Man was a bytch in the Civil War movie. He was so broken by personal guilt over his rash decisions re: Ultron that he wanted the squad to bend the knee to government inefficiency, corruption, and mismanagement.
Bane was spitting straight fire for most of his movie....
Why was Bane a good guy in a sense? I may be wrong, he may have not been a bad good guy

Again, you'd follow a leader that has no qualms about killing the very followers that aid and support him if he felt that furthered his goal?
I get the fascination with the character, especially in TLR, but it's amazing to me how so many people didn't understand Killmonger's archetype and let the point of his character's failure to T'challa fly right over their heads.
A leader who embodies the philosophy of "the ends justify the means" ALWAYS bodes badly for humanity.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
All tyrants at one point or another had some measure of altruism attached to their rhetoric. Killmonger was no different. That was the entire purpose of highlighting the various flaws and contradictions his character had vs. his purported goal.
You can't liberate people by adopting the tactics of oppression.

As far as the original question, only villain I can think of at the moment who I felt was somewhat justified and rational in why they felt and acted the way they did that I could mostly agree with was Teabing in The Da Vinci Code (Ian Mckellen's character).
