Varan isn't necessarily hated as much as he is underappreciated. I've never met a single Kaiju fan with any real disdain for Varan. His impact on the Godzilla franchise has been bascially nonexistent, and he's only been in one (pretty unremarkable) movie. He's a pretty cool looking Kaiju with an interesting ability. If people had more exposure to Varan, I'm sure they'd all like him as much as you seem to.
