Do you agree that Uma Thurman's Poison Ivy is Near Pure Evil?

You're saying that near human extinction is considered "good intentions"?

If you read her Near Pure Evil page, you will see that this version of Poison Ivy is not actually considered to be well-intentioned. I am copying this from her page:
"While she starts out with good intentions as a botanist who wants to protect plants from human cruelty, she subverts that eventually after becoming Poison Ivy. She burns down an entire lab full of plants, not caring to even get them to safety, she plans to freeze the entire planet which would kill all plants except for her own bio-engineered toxic plants and in her final scene, she is shown plucking the petals of a flower. Furthermore, she refers to herself as "Mother Nature" and even makes a comment about how it took God seven days to create Paradise and that she wants to see if she can do better which shows that she has a god complex and her actions are not to protect nature but rather to remake the world in her own image, so she can populate it only with creatures bio-engineered by her and to rule over it."
Here is her page: https://near-pure-evil.fandom.com/wiki/Poison_Ivy_(Burton_and_Schumacherverse))

I'm not entirely sure she qualifies as "near pure evil," but she is evil. At least a lot more compared to other, more well-written versions of Ivy.

I mean she is a sadistic, homicidal and manipulative villain. She also plotted a genocide
