I'm not talking about him being a villain, that's fine, I'm talking about turning him into an obssesive lunatic who doesn't care about his people, only about a sword and glory.

When they did Peter Pan evil, that was fine because you still could see the essance of Pan in the character. Here it just doesn't exist. The legendary King Arthur was hardly a squeaky, clean hero. He had an affair with his half-sister, and speant his life trying to kill their love-child. Mordred betrayed Camelot, because Arthur was never a father to him. OUaT is playing upon that, without incorporating the incest.
