Same. Not a fan of Klaus. I hate him almost as much as I hate Damon and Steffan. Klaus, in particular, acts so entitled and like he's the only person in the universe who has been wronged by anyone.
I'm okay with Kai b/c he was a much more fun villain. -

Agreed! I didn't hate him as much as I do Damon, but I found him so uninteresting and lame all around. He constantly acted like he was wronged and unlike Kai or Katherine, never owned up to who he was. Maybe he would at times, but then he'd share some boo hoo story about his dad or mom and we were supposed to sympathize w him.
I also hated that they tried making his backstory so overly sympathetic. Mommy and daddy issues, blegh. Why can't a villain just be a villain without some elaborate "my daddy hated him so it's not my fault that I'm this way" -

Exactly. I get that some villains do have a backstory or history that led them to make bad choices, but villains can just be evil without the sad backstory. And you can't keep harping on mommy and daddy issues for hundreds of years. The thing about these immortal beings is that they have the ability to start over and recreate themselves. When you're human you got to deal with the consequences of your actions and everything that happens to you. You have to move on. People like Klaus, Damon and Steffan never just move on. Immortality is wasted on them.

Can you imagine a spin-off starring Kai and Katherine? I'd watch the hell outta that. All the snark, sass and unapologetic evilness of those two sans the whine? It's perfect.

Klaus in TVD was introduced as the worst vampire to walk the earth. Then he started becoming nice and then he moved to New Orleans and was good then bad then good again until he changed completely from being a villain into just a good vempire who sometimes has to do something bad.
Kai feels more like a villain, he doesn't have a redemption arc like Klaus does. Problem was always in Klaus's inconsistent character and nature. But Kai is really a psychopath. -

Kai, I liked Klaus before Klaroline, I know I'll get hate for that but I think the whole Klaroline thing marshmallowed his character as a villain too much for me

Exactly. I can't stand that irritating sh-t. Let Caroline and Stefan run off into their vanilla little sunset together and close those characters' chapters completely, please.

Kai is the villain. Klaus is not a villain anymore. Klaus bark is worse than his bite whereas Kai is a real evil guy IMO.
Klaus is def a better written character.

Kai. I think JoMo did a great job as Klaus but after the first season he was on, he lost his bite and I did think he seemed pathetic. He just didn't have compelling motivation for anything.
Chris's portrayal of Kai was just awesome. It reminded me of Patrick Bateman at times. He managed to be snarky, scary (and hot af). -

Kai,Klaus cant isnt even a good good guy. He's not likable whatsoever in any aspect and his reasoning is a whiny given all hes gained. Kai on the otherhand is charismatic and you can kind of hope he can be redeemed. Yes he killed his family but you gotta admit that coven and their one twin must die rule was kind of harsh especially with kai having no actual magic to defend himself against Joe. Call me bias but I wanted him to turn good and shipped him and Bonnie lol.

Kai was a good villian, but could never hold my interest for 4-5 seasons like Klaus and his family have. Klaus never had time to get over his mommy/daddy issues since they tortured him for 1000 years until recently. Klaus and Katherine were the first villians that had a sad back story, now they give a sad story to everyone.

Kai. Less whiny and tormented. He's evil simply because he gives 0 f-cks. Period. And that's delightful to watch.
Klaus basically just has mommy and daddy issues. He not about that life.

The best thing about Kai is that he too had fam issues, considering the whole coven rule about one one witch survives or whatever. But he didn't make spend his time moaning about that and justifying his behavior by blaming it on his parentswhich is what Klaus was all about.

There's a deleted scene for 6x15 with Kai and Jo where he basically goes into a whiny rant about being "the blacksheep of the family."
Honestly, I'm glad they deleted it. Nothing against Chris Wood, because he acted his ass off in that scene, but that trope has been done to DEATH on this show. I'm beyond sick of it.
Oh he kills things because his family rejected him? Tell him to take a number. Removing that scene actually made Kai stand out more as a villain, to me.
Even Katherine's backstory is better. She had her newborn ripped from her arms, was nearly sacrificed and then had her entire family murdered when she tried to run. Her reasons for going psycho and being hardened were more sympathetic to me.
Everyone else, I just feel needs to get over it already.
