If you liked the guy who murders a load of civilians in like the second episode then I don’t think you can pretend it’s because he’s handsome!

the ‘good guys’ go in murderous rampages all the time in movies. its just usually framed as a good thing. ‘oh those they killed were evil!’, ‘oh the city they destroyed was for the greater good!’

real life isnt so black and white but they do that same framing irl with varying levels of success.
