Why does everybody hate this guy?

I’m sure this question has been asked over a million times here, but recently I rewatched the movie and I don’t really get the hate for Cole. He’s not a great character, but it’s not like he did something wrong to be hated. Is it because he killed Goro instead of Liu Kang? I mean sure but is that really a reason to hate the character to the point where everyone wants him to die in the beginning of the next movie?
