While I don't think Sibling Rivalry is the correct name for what went on between Hans and and his bothers, I agree that people should stop blaming everything on the brothers. It was always Hans' conscious decision what his goals were to be. the fact that three of his brothers ignored him doesn't turn him into a helpless victim marked for crime (how did Cinderella's sisters treat her, for example?). And what he mainly wanted to achieve by becoming king of Arandelle was acquiring power through a scheme, as it was unlikely for him to achieve it by succession. he says so himself in his confession. So, I. like many others, think that Hans should have been given a chance at redemption, but the first step towards redemption is recognizig the source of the evil and taking responisibility for it. No use pretending that his intentions were really good or that he was just  an innocent victim of abuse, when he clearly isn't.

But I don't thnk we should even be having this discussion in the  middle of an exchange about Hans' qualifications as king or leader.

PS. I forgot to say that I do like to claim that Hans was actually and truly in love with Anna, even if this hadn't been on his plan originally.
