I really like this take. I'm always interested in digging into the actual human motivations of villain characters like CC, not to make them sympathetic so much as to ground them with depth and nuance (vs just greed and power). Like MCU Thanos or Handsom Jack from Borderlands 2, he's still a villain, but they all think of themselves as holding the more righteous position.
