The punch line here is "Deus ex machina, Mahabharata had it too."

But why was Karna (aside from the whole Nara-Narayana event I was pointed too, dooming his fate from even before he was born) the "bad guy"? From what I read, and that's not a lot, he was mostly a benevolent and generous person who ought to do what has to be done. I only recall, and I might be wrong about this, one event where he cheated to get the teaching of someone, something like that (sorry, that's sketchy in my head :/)
