Oh yeah, I generally despise card carrying villains in a serious setting because I tend to believe there should always be a legitimate reason for everything. There are very few times that trope is done right e.g. Dr. Doom, Emperor Palpatine, but they still are complex characters with tangibly benevolent long-term plans that compensate for it. And if they are just psychopathic evil characters for the sake of being evil, they should just be punch-clock villains that are used by the more complex characters to further their plans.
