What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]
- He showed his wife Rita no love or freedom after she had been arranged to marry him, which caused her to suffer a mental breakdown, ask the magical trolls to wipe her memories and flee into the dark. She couldn't even take her child Agnarr with her because she knew Runeard would hunt them down and wage war against her kingdom.
- He would banish anyone who even spoke Rita's name.
- He acted abusive towards Agnarr, yelling at him for disobeying him and even shaming him for crying over losing his mother, causing him to lock himself in his room for two years.
- He cultivated undeserved xenophobia towards magic and its users.
- He built a dam just to to weaken the lands of the peaceful Northuldran people, forcing them to have to turn to him to survive.
- This would also lead to animals dying off, depleting the neighboring kingdom of Vesterland of food to hunt for.
- When Vesterland's princess, Sissel, drowned in a flash flood, Runeard forced the only witness to lie that her little sister, Inger, killed her out of jealousy. He then attempted to execute Inger, since she opposed the dam.
- When the Northuldran chief begged Runeard to do something about the dam, Runeard slaughtered the old, unarmed chief without mercy.
- He started the war against the Northuldrans, fooling the Arendellians into thinking that the Northuldran people had betrayed them, and leading to many meaningless deaths on both sides.
- He even endangered children, such as his own son Agnarr, who was bleeding to death while his father did nothing to save him.
- He dragged another innocent Northuldran off a cliff to his death with him.
- He indirectly trapped both the surviving Arendellians and Northuldrans in a magical mist for decades to come, forcing them all to suffer due to his own xenophobia and bloodlust.
- His claims of magic making the Northuldran people think they can defy him makes no sense whatsoever, as he is not actually in charge of them. It also makes him a quintessential hypocrite because the simple truth is that magic makes him feel powerful and entitled enough to defy the Northuldran chief, whereas the chief never demonstrated any entitled behavior and never defied Runeard in any tangible way.
- His plans were pretty stupid because of how they make viewers (and readers) incredulous as to how his underhanded and murderous actions could possibly give him more power.
- Unlike Hans he has no excuse for his crimes.
