@Fyer: The point was that Wild Hunt isn't an interesting group (since I was responding to Ajimu's comment), especially compared to the Jaegers. What its purpose is isn't the point. Just because they make drama by being oh-so-evil doesn't mean that they're interesting.

Good villains make for a good story because it makes for better, more interesting conflicts. Heretical's point, as is mine, is that Wild Hunt as a whole is uninteresting. They're evil just for the sake of plot and it's obvious they're going to die. That doesn't generate any interest. Also, villains aren't always the "bad guys," they're the ones who oppose the ideologies of the heroes. A stereotypical baddie does nothing for Akame ga Kill. It's just shoving the "oh my gosh the Empire is evil" notion in our faces when we've known that from the get-go.

Also, we obviously don't visit the same fanbases. Some people like Wild Hunt for what they did. Others, like myself, see it as disgusting but it's not a surprise. It's there for drama, but it's a cheap way to make drama since it's used so often. Drama != interesting.
