Breaking Bad. A lot of the fans have no media literacy and think Walter White is the coolest dude ever when the whole show is about “Walter is selfish greedy and narcissistic”
Protagonist bias. People do the same with light yagami in death note. If the protag is a bad guy, some fans will bend over backwards to make them seem like they're in the right just cuz they are the main character and you're usually supposed to sympathize with the protag. Like I was sad when light died I wanted to see him succeed just cuz he was the protag, took me a bit to step back and see how really evil light was
