I can understand a lot about Advent Children. I really dislike the movie, but I can understand it. But I still don't really understand why they brought Rufus back to life. I assume it has to do with popularity, but I don't really understand why he's popular. He's not a bishonen like Sephiroth, he's not super charismatic or anything, he's just ultimately a secondary villain who's just out for himself.

He's a bad man, that's why he's likable. He paid the cost to be the boss.

Well if he was portrayed at all sympathetically, I would get it. But he's not. He basically just takes over from his evil father and then declares how evil he's going to continue to be.

He's just such an ass to absolutely everyone, yet portrays himself as suave and is genre savvy enough to not get screwed over by overconfidence; he only gets screwed over because Sephiroth is just better than he could ever be. It's just enjoyable having him on-screen, because he does something that's either humorous or cool every time and isn't completely insufferable because he's proven that he's competent and insults the incompetence of others, like Heidegger.

Also he named his dog 'Dark Nation'. Pretty freaking boss.

He's reasonably popular. Besides Cloud and Sephiroth, who else is decidedly more popular than him among fans?

Vincent
Tifa
Aerith
Cid
Red XIII

At the very least.

(Oh, and if you try to argue that Rufus is anywhere near as popular as any of those, you don't know what you're talking about)

He doesn't give a crap when his father died, fights with sawed off shotgun, holds on to helicopter with one hand when escaping, has a very cool office in Junon, is the only one that doesn't lose his cool when the Meteor is threatening to destroy everything and stares down Ultima WEAPON like a boss when it nuked his building. What's not to like?

I somehow forgot about Vincent, Cid, and Red XIII. I will make no excuse. Though even then, he gets a bigger role in AC than all of them combined.
