I know what you mean lol. 😆

Well I can't can't think of one that portrayed love as evil though it has at times been used to explain how villains lost it or at times had a desire for it to do evil acts.

Thanos for example wants to impress Lady Death so much out of his strange love and I believe on version painted her as corrupting what once was a friendly if not somewhat morbid or creepy Thanos into being what he is by encouraging him to embrace what he eventually becomes. That or the loss of a friend or something. I could be wrong but that's what I remember.

Then there's Kratos who is an example of both. He is tricked into killing his family and is so obsessed with avenging them and obsessed with anger and vengeance he constantly comes back to get it. Granted he's manipulated by Ares who wishes to make him the "perfect warrior" so Kratos would be able to help Ares in basically overthrowing the other Gods so he alone could rule but he kills Ares off only to end up doing it anyways due to Zeus betraying him out of fear.

Magneto loss his family and wife plus his love for mutants and desire for them to be safe and free is often why he tries to do what he does. Granted if I rember right he hates normal people but I but is mostly wanting mutants to be able to live without persecution by them. I haven't read the comics in a little while so my memory is some what fuzzy right now.

I guess one could argue Jason due to his love for his mother and desiring to avenge her or vice versa as both killed due to the grief and anger. Mrs. Pamela Voorhees due to realizing counslers were to busy having sex to save her son from seemily drowning and Jason due to presumbably seeing her beheaded (never explained why Jason didn't just return to her or if she knew he lived to my knowledge).

Those are probably the closest examples to love being bad I can think of even though the last one wasn't romantic and the one for that had a love for his family and mutants.

A strong hatred is the cause of a bunch of villains doing what they do and I how most ghost are portrayed as staying in the moral world.
