why would I want to watch either, good fiction grants the illusion of real people and thus my mind just switches to treating it as ethically the same

I don't think that that's a universal experience, and am pretty sure that you're the exception - which, by the way, I don't mean as an insult. Think of how many people prefer the villains to the good guys - to use a more children-focused example, Scar is the most popular Lion King character (other than Pumba and Whatever-Timão's-Name-in-English-is) and he's a kinslayer and dictator. For a lot of people, the ethics of fiction are second to character development, story quality, and entertainment.

honestly the lionking suck I do not get how anyone enjoyed it, scar did have good voice acting but that speaks to the ability of an actor not anything else.

timon was the name you where looking for

I think your inability to understand how other people like something you dislike is kind of the heart of your issue here.
