Fairies are fucking evil, they steal your firstborn children, give people stds, steal people away for all eternity for eating their food, make people dance until they die, lead travelers until they're hopelessly lost, and even straight up murder people.
True, but they weren't exactly the villains of the story.
Or maybe I just wasn't focusing on them that much through my hatred for El Capitán. There is literally nobody in any movie or series ever upon whom I wished death as much I did upon him when I watched Pan's Labyrinth.
i think they came across as semi good because some of the creatures in the movie where also cruel to the faeries, thus making you more sympathetic to them, but the faeries definitely helped the evil along a bit.
