Itachi was "misunderstood" because he eventually was exposed to have done everything for the sake of his brother/village.
Madara was misunderstood because he was going to be a good guy but his brother died.
:/ Everyone was pretty "evil"(lol shonen) for their presence initially, but the problem is that towards their inevitable defeat they all get some sort of soppy flashback and become "misunderstood".
