That’s already been a thing. It’s well documented that super hero movies’ villains all usually start as people who just want to change the status quo, but then do one ultra violent thing to make destroying them justified.
Even Thanos had a very real point, they just made him a monster by acting on it violently. But they never went back to “uh, but he did have a point, his world did literally die because they exhausted the resources”. But how could you ever side with him when he violently acted on it, so his point must be invalid.
Repeat ad nauseum for most other superhero movies.
Not sure about the movies but in the comics Thanos is in love with Death, who often appears as a woman. He had roundabout ways of justifying his acts of destruction when he really wanted to do a grand gesture to show his love for Death. Because, if you have the power to kill half of all people in the universe, you have the power to implement some decent economic policies instead.
It’s even more relatable when a villain really wants something people won’t support so they change the branding and find a few examples to support their claim.

Hollywood has traditionally been rather socially liberal.
Just wait until ‘uncomfortable with certain lifestyles’ sneaks in as a Marvel hero trait, as Disney needs to ‘address diverse markets.’
the movies, but not the actors many turns out to be quite conservative.
