He totally feels like a villain to me. for one, even by the amoral standards of "the government, if faced with an alien invasion, would just kill them rather than bothering to try to make peace, because Earth first", even by those standards his behavior just seems really off with the way he's handling it.

I too have felt like he "never smiles or is friendly to anyone". More specifically it's like, sometimes it almost feels like he's intentionally faking his emotions or giving the ones he knows would be expected. Last episode ended with a one liner from Madoka's mother. Given how important this idea is, the fact the show didn't last a second longer to show his response, makes me honestly feel like he still likely didn't accept that and we can't just assume he did so off screen a second later in our imagination. It's still a cliffhanger and we still can't confirm a single example we can point to of him showing even a small moment of compassion. Even the family photo they showed, had Madoka holding out a huge gold trophy, and implying he expected her to be perfect and put tons of pressure on her even at a much younger age. What we might be expected to believe is a sign of their family love, might ultimately be just yet another sign that he's a jerk and also more build up to how truly uncompassionate he is....

I've said way more on this matter in a certain forum thread, if the person who made this original comment wants to see :)
