You're ignoring the end. The Duke fought back, saying he was an innocent victim, even feigning pain. Hans didn't. He was confused, as the script points out. And he didn't fight back or do anything when he was to go back to his country. He didn't say anything either. And he knew his brothers would hear of his behavior. It seems like you don't believe in any sort of reformation. Which do you think was guilty or even thought about what he had tried to do? The Duke or Hans, based on their reaction?

And he didn't at first think of killing Elsa. The Duke wanted to have her killed first, and it wasn't until after he assumed Elsa did something to Anna that he wanted to. And based off the Behind the Scenes for the recording sessions, Hans wasn't trying to gain the villagers' trust. It was his duty to serve them. The people instructing Santino Fontana told him that Hans wants to do things right, and the way Santino says the line "Cloak? Does anyone need a cloak?" is evidence. I think the evil plot twist isn't that realistic at all. I find it a big mismatch. But then again, who would Anna end up with? I guess that was the scriptwriter's idea, to have Anna end up with somebody,....

My ssecond response:

P.S: You said it yourself. Hans is slightly evil, not completely. So how can he be the main villain? The Duke, right from the start down to the end, he is cynical and thinks evil thoughts. Read the script again. The Duke is the main villain. His first words were about exploiting Arendelle's riches, and suspiciously asks Anna why the gates were closed. He even asked her if she was a monster, and tried to persuade Hans into thinking that Anna may be conspiring with Elsa.
