In the eyes of the Spanish, they were good because they brought them gold and converted people to their religion.

In the eyes of most others, they were bad because they killed mercilessly for gold (including killing Atahuapa, and Incan leader), they brought small pox to the New World and that killed thousands, and they destroyed a whole culture.

Additionally, their quest for wealth led to the exploitation of resources and cultures, often prioritizing personal gain over ethical considerations.
