Wait, isn't character death just for sake of character death a little pointless?

Oh, and this is only the third series. If all the villains were homicidal maniacs you'd probably be asking for more reasons.
I never said that I wanted a shallow evil villain... just a few with a strong will and some jacked up (but comprehendable) logic (see the not-so-nice Sonozaki sister in Higurashi) that aren't going to give up until they die.

I agree that "RAWR I'M PISSED" and "ME WANT POWAH!" villains generally tend to be pretty boring.
