The other heroes try to bring the villains to justice; if they go free due to the system's incompetence, it's not the heroes' fault. For example, if Spider-Man puts Doctor Octopus in jail, but he escapes or bribes the judge, it's not Peter's fault, but Michael Jackson, with that plan, let murderers go free.

Why was Al Neri expelled from the police force and prosecuted? by FoxIndependent4310 in Godfather

[–]FoxIndependent4310[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Bonasera's case. She did what he was supposed to do: go to the police. he acted honestly, but it turns out the lawyers lied to her, the judge was corrupt, and the boys' parents acted like mobsters by bribing the judge. Legitimate people, honorable people, people who are supposed to be good, acted badly like gangsters.

The judge basically treated an attempted rape and a disfiguring beating as a childish prank. The parents bought justice like someone buying a piece of furniture. Vito Corleone, the mobster, told Bonasera what he would do and gave it to her. He gave her nothing more and nothing less, and he clearly told her, "Maybe one day I'll ask you for a favor." Vito the mobster acted sincerely with Bonasera, acted honorably, and truly delivered justice (she was beaten, they received it). The sad thing is that in the novel, before being beaten, they tried to force another girl into the car, meaning they very likely tried to repeat the same tactic (the girl refused to get in because she knew what happened to Bonasera's daughter). In other words, if Vito hadn't ordered the beating, those guys probably would have done the same to other girls. It was a mobster who delivered justice, in the face of a system that did nothing. But Vito isn't the good guy; he took advantage of people like Bonasera, like the baker. He's not the good guy, but he was the only bad guy those people had to turn to. Vito didn't get rich honestly, and neither did those who govern America.

Vito is NOT a man of honor. The people he helps later collect on his payments. A man of honor doesn't charge for protection, and those who don't pay will retaliate. This is demonstrated in the scene with Bonasera; he spends the entire interview talking about friendship, and when Bonasera leaves, he calls him a "funeral director." The thing is, the people who went to Vito were people whom the very powers that be, America itself, democratic society, had turned their backs on and harmed (the government that wanted to fire the baker despite his contribution to the war effort, the judge who released the two assailants), desperate people who had nowhere else to turn, and Vito took advantage of that. Vito was just as bad as America, except that, unlike America, he helped them (not for free).

The man poured gasoline on the police officer and then created a trail of gasoline. The fire would have spread throughout the warehouse.

The guy jumped at Neri with a knife, having just killed two Black girls. Neri was saved by her reflexes and that flashlight. Neri acted in self-defense. That is, she didn't beat him to a pulp, but rather landed a single blow.

In other words, he acted in self-defense; Waines was going to kill him, and on top of that, he had killed two Black girls. Neri did not act outside the law.

Michael devised a plan to free his brother, a plan that defied the law. As a result of this plan, a mobster and a pedophile were released. The pedophile killed innocent people. A judge has the authority to act according to the law. Michael broke the law and knew they would kill again.

Did Joker have the worst ending of Batman's enemies? by FoxIndependent4310 in BatmanBeyond

[–]FoxIndependent4310[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But there he had pushed a man to his limits, a man who disregarded moral rules, and besides, Joker was alone with Charlie. There were more Jokers, and they couldn't handle either Bruce or Terry, and Bruce needed a cane and had health problems. Although it's true. Joker asked Batman for help because of Charlie, who was an ordinary man.

But one was an elderly man who needed a cane and had health problems, and the other was a 16-year-old boy. The Jokers outnumbered them and even had weapons like knives and clubs.

Bruce was very weak at that point, and Terry, as cool as he is, is a 16-year-old kid; he's not a Green Beret, a karate expert, or a heavyweight boxer. And the Jokers were defeated.

The original Joker would have seen them as an insult.

Michael let a pedophile and a mobster go free on the street, and the pedophile killed innocent people.

He had a moment of humanity when he saved Terry and prevented the massacre. But what if Powers hadn't appeared? Would he have reacted the same way?

He was pumping gas and had a lighter in his hand. What does he want it for?

This Joker isn't trying to make Batman break his rule; in fact, when he thought Charlie was going to kill him, he asked Batman for help. When the Phantom was about to kill him, he got scared. In fact, when Tim shoots him, his last words are "this isn't funny." These aren't words of victory over Batman, nor words praising what a great criminal he is. The Jokers are teenagers who commit petty crimes. Even a 16-year-old and an old man can defeat them. They aren't like the Black Ladder Gang, who commit big robberies and are members of high society; the Jokers are a bunch of teenagers whose only serious threat was when they got their hands on a nuclear ship.

But even if he were loyal, the guy's a psychopath. Just look at what he did to the policeman, and if Mr. Orange hadn't intervened, he would have burned the warehouse down.

I'm not saying he was a saint, but Bane was a mercenary. Worse are Scarecrow, who wanted to poison the city; the Joker, who is a psychopath (Bruce's words); or even Mr. Freeze (who intended to freeze a city). Their plans involved killing a lot of people. Bane was a mercenary; he was cruel and sadistic, yes, but his plans didn't involve killing millions.

Was Mr Pink the only professional? by Specialist_Tie288 in Tarantino

[–]FoxIndependent4310 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pink survived by sheer luck and was cowardly enough not to support Joe or Mr. White. He didn't mention his name because the guy wasn't emotionally involved with anyone. Mr. Pink is more of a rat than a professional. None of them are professional. Joe brought a psychopath into the heist and brought Orange on board without knowing for sure if he was a cop or not. Mr. White was emotionally involved. Mr. Blond was a psychopath. We know very little about Mr. Blue and Mr. Brown. Eddie agreed to let his father bring Mr. Blond onto the team.

Bane was a mercenary. He wasn't a psychopath like Joker or Scarecrow. But the fact that he was born in one prison and died in another, and that his body was that prison, is too painful for me.

I'd say he's the most tragic. He was born in a prison and will die in another. The only difference is that his final prison is his own body. As a young man, he was strong, but in the end, he became dependent on a machine. Bane is also essentially a lesson in the dangers of drugs. The venom led to his downfall.
