" It's important that the audience identify with such a character so they will have sympathy and compassion for him when he screws up."

I think you nailed it right here. In Finn's case, there was a disconnect for a lot of the fan base (I was surprised by the overwhelming amount of posts). They weren't able to have sympathy or compassion for him even before he massacred a village. Whether it was the way he was written or how he was portrayed, a lot of people just could not find him relateable.
