That's the beauty of writing a cool villain. You get the audience to emotionally understand the villain, empathize with their plight, but not with their motivations for villainy or their direct actions. Supergirl writers have finally done something good with writing for villains in this case, last time I remember them making a bad guy this complex was Rick Malverne. It's not like Lillian Luthor, where we enjoy the actress, but don't really get what "irks her" about aliens so much, outside of some minor moments with her children. It's not like Samantha Arias, who was a victim of a force she could not control. It's not the generic Kryptonian/Daxamite invasion. This was a gradual rise from the "only sane man" in his family to a radical serial killer, and it's strangely believable.
