Who are we to judge about people who lived in a different era, Mahabharata shows and teaches us about life and to learn from these characters, that is why Mahabharata is taught not to judge as to the characters in the epicšš
Many writers and directors have actually used the some of the qualities and stories of these characters, case in example Raajneeti, Thalapathy etc.
Rajmouli actually took some characteristics of Mahabharata and even Ramayana and put it in Baahubali.
Katappa loyalty similar to Bheeshma, Bhallaladev similar to Duryodhana, his father similar to Dhritarashtra, the childhood of Shivudu and the whole baby found in the river similar to that of Karna.
