Yeah, that asshole went from bad to worse. Every other villain has some level of redemption, even if it's just understanding them enough to jive with them (cough Zenos yae Galvus cough).

But not that asshat.

I enjoy the occasional irredeemable, evil for evil's sake villain who nevertheless has a goal and the competence to carry it out. It was also cool when he

did a thingcame back from death just to scold Hermes for... let me check my notes... not being evil enough.
 

Valens on the other hand? Dude can burn for all I care. He was sadistic for no reason, he only wanted power at any cost, and relied on the technology and experience of others that he ultimately couldn't control. The only good thing he did was

the reason it's the best trial series.giving Gaius a redemption arc.
