Is Hades the most misunderstood god in history? He is always demonized but he just does his job it's not like he sends every single soul to Tartarus or that the guys who are in Tartarus are innocent to begin with and as for Cerberus (at least in the version I've read) he is actually nice to the guys who enter Hades he just goes pitbull mode if someone tries to escape.
Also why is Grim Reaper demonized as well? He is another figure that does nothing wrong yet everyone treats him like shit.

And the Grim Reaper figure only got invented during the Black Death when people thought they were seeing a skellington with a scythe behind the town just before the plague struck.

Every time I see Hades in a movie or game or any media he is shown as evil and looks like this

There's your problem. I have not been exposed to many games and movies.
It is entertainment, they corrupt stuff to make it cool.

Maybe it is also a kind of cryptic Christian thought i.e. a clear divide between good and evil. At least, I always had the idea that in Greek mythology there was a less clear divide between good and evil.

To be fair, he was kind of demonised by the Greeks to. When offering sacrifice to Hades, they had to look away from the pyre and not eat from the meat themselves. It was considered a bad omen to feast with Hades (sacrifice = inviting a god for a feast). He was the god of the dead, the living had no favor to gain from him, they thought that worshipping him would lead to them dying earlier.

Because the underworld is a weird and scary place man they are just fitting the image with him like that.
