Who is the actual bad guy in Arcane?

Is Silco really the bad guy?

No, Silco is not a good person, he's not an antihero, and he's not a good father. He's a complex, beautifully-written villain, but a villain nonetheless. First of all, he destroyed half of Zaun with shimmer, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds (possibly thousands) and the addictions of many more.

Why did Viktor turn evil?

Viktor turns "evil" (or antagonistic) in Arcane due to a desperate quest to cure his fatal illness, leading him to embrace the Hexcore, self-experiment with Shimmer, and believe free will causes suffering, ultimately seeking a forced "Glorious Evolution" for humanity through technology, alienating him from his past ideals as he sacrifices emotion and connection for perceived progress. His fall stems from trauma, loss (like his assistant Sky), betrayal by Jayce, and a belief that humanity's flaws require drastic, emotionless control, transforming him from healer to a machine-like figure who sees free will as the problem, not the solution.
