Humanizing is an essential quality of writing - not only in films, but in novels and in anything with a story that has characters. It's important to humanize a character, whether they're the one causing the conflict or not - and whether they're human or not.
I already told you my opinion on the last issue, so I don't feel like I need to repeat myself with that.
