And believing so is simplistic. Yeah, actually, it does. Look at most Disney villains, or most James Bond villains, or heck, even the villains in DC Comics or Resident Evil villains. They followed a pattern and a strict standard. Even in Metal Gear, there were several villains that matched that standard (case in point, the Patriots, Volgin, Coldman, the Winds of Destruction, etc., etc.). And are you going to call Marquis de Sade simplistic then? Because he made clear he was a villain and embraced it. So you use Childrens movie villains as a guideline as to what a Villain is?? that is simplistic because everyone can be considered a villain.

Just a little example Gaston is the villain in the beauty and the beast, but if you follow the story from His perspective then the beast is the villain as he has belle captured.

And that applies to all villains, Zero is the villain in the metal gear saga but if you see it from his eprspective then Snake is the villain
