So because he failed at killing them they are not his victims?

If not for Olaf, Anna would have died. Do you deny this?

If Anna had not saved Elsa, Hans would have killed her with the sword. Do you deny this?

With Elsa and Anna dead, and the nobles believing his LIE about marrying Anna, along with his "heroic acts" in saving Arendelle from the wicked bad queen, he would gain the throne. Do you think I am wrong in this?

Now, he is sitting on the throne, over the blood of two innocents, having committed a successful coup d'etat... do you think he'll have any regret over his actions? Remember, he thought Anna was already dead and he showed ZERO remorse as he sweet-talked Elsa into lowering her guard so he could kill her. Do you still think he is simply misunderstood?

You ARE basing your opinion on wishful thinking, and every time you watch the film, you see only what you want to see. Notice how every time you reply, you completely ignore his murderous intent. You ignore the facts of his plot; the basic premise that he did everything in his power to kill Elsa and get away with it. He is handsome, charming and well bred; not the kind of person you'd expect to be a cold-hearted killer incapable of feeling any empathy for others and deriving pleasure from their suffering. That is what makes him really scary; evil is not always "ugly"; sometimes it is seductive.

Did he yell about revenge when exiled? No. But he is not a hot-blooded manic villain: he is cold and methodical; not all villains rage; some plot.

Read Poe's "A Cask of Amontillado" sometime; revenge can be very, very cold and very, very evil, without screaming of revenge.

Unless you specifically address this issue, I shan't reply further, but I'll leave you with this thought:

It is just an animated movie, but it's a very well-crafted film with well-developed characters; your opinion of Hans is based on the flimsiest evidence and a lot of wishful thinking (don't deny it; your previous replies make this abundantly clear); but if you did meet someone like Hans, and he did try to kill you or do you other bodily harm... would you still think he's just 'misunderstood'?

Don't reply. Just think about it.
