Heart of Sword... I didn't see Phantom, and I don't think Phantom is cute. You didn't see Buffy, and you don't think Spike is cute.
I think half of it is the actor and his skill at acting. (Or if you're talking about an animated character, obviously how well he's written, drawn, and voice acted.)
I'm just throwing this out there, but it's a thought. Unrealistic villains, villains that lack depth, I'll bet we don't like them, anyway not much. Vivid characterization might be part of this whole thing. At least... sort of. *end random thought*
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.
