I would love Klaus forever!!!

Um… Does not matter, I’m biased, and yeah, Screw Klaus, so, no.

I think the thing that makes Klaus worse than Stefan, and Damon, and even his other siblings-with the exception of Kol-is that Klaus has no remorse for anything that he’s done. If he’s ever shown any, I must have missed it. Klaus thinks he’s “entitled,” but that is something that existed before he was a vampire. Blame Mom and Dad. If you think about what we know about their past, everything that Mom and Dad did showed that they, too, had an “entitlement” mentality, IMO. They were “entitled” not to lose their children, so they managed to get to the New World before most of Europe even knew it was there thinking that would avoid being exposed to mass illness. Then, when tragedy struck once again, the “entitlement” mentality struck again, and they were entitled to become immortal, while the other lowly humans had to die as usual. Not only that, but more powerful, too, just for their own protection
The other Originals have that attitude, too-but not to the extent Klaus does.
So, yes, we know that Damon did bad things when he came to MF-but we also saw all the cracks in his cold, blooded SOB persona. Damon “cared,” but he did all those horrible things to show that he didn’t-not that his issues make what he did all okay. Now, it goes without saying that Damon can be a very deadly vampire-the same goes for Stefan. We’ve been shown, though, that they are capable of remorse. As warped as it is, when Ripper Stefan puts his victims back together, that is a kind of remorse-even shame for being capable of being so vicious. If they weren’t then they wouldn’t have been struggling with their own feelings all this time. They wouldn’t be able to feel real love for Elena, or anybody.
Klaus is still so self-centered and feels so entitled that he has even kept his own family either imprisoned or intimidated until Stefan and Co. ended up being parties to inadvertently setting them loose last year. Klaus may have some small regret when he “daggers” Rebekah, but its only a blip because his own agenda means more to him than anybody or any other thing. Now, perhaps we’ll see Klaus indeed start to reform in the new series, if it does go to series-which looks pretty likely right now-and also if it finds enough of an audience on its own. Right now, though, its still all about Klaus-and he’ll beg, borrow, steal, maim, torture, and kill to achieve whatever it is that he wants.

Klaus crossed my personal line after Aunt Jennas death, then I had a soft spot for him during the last half of season 3 and the beginning of season 4, but then he botched it by killing Carol Lockwood. And what pisses me off most is that he made it look like an accident…
But JoMo, I simply love this crazily talented actor, so I am glad that he will have an own show.
And you are very right about the marketing strategy :)

To borrow a phrase Matt had said to Rebekah a few weeks back (and paraphrase it a little):” Klaus has had 1000 yrs to grow and evolve and start fresh and he threw it all away”.Yes he had horrible parents but he ended up becoming just like them.And his siblings never left his side even after everything he’s done to them.So no,he wasn’t alone and he needs to stop blaming his parents for everything he’s done.He needs to grow up and take responsibility for his actions.
I’m not going to play the game if the Salvatores are better than Klaus or not.The Salvatores are not good people but like soneone else said at least they feel remorse,they take responsibility for their actions and they APOLOGISE.Stefan’s argument about how they are not better than him,therefore he feels guilty for putting him down has one major flaw:They all do horrible things but Klaus has done horrible things to THEM.And he’s planning to do it again with using Elena as  a blood slave.The gang should want him dead (or dessicated or whatever) b/c he’s hurt THEM not considering giving him a free pass just b/c they are murderers too.

 I agree with all of that.  Still, I admit I’m Biased; I hate Klaus, so all the comparisons may make logical sense, I still do not care.  I’m being irrational.

Reminder: Kol is scared of Silas.
