The thing is, those Pike flashbacks did make me more sympathetic to his character, but you guys are totally right. They should've established some backstory for him a long time ago so we could at least see him as a human character. Instead he just became this irrational and evil character.

Nothing bothers me more in an antagonist than them simply being "evil"

Evil is boring and illogical most times. Seeing the human in your antagonist makes them far more interesting, complicated, and just enhances the story (Ex: The Governor from The Walking Dead, The Punisher from Daredevil)
