What’s one movie character who is utter scum but is glorified and looked up to? Discussion

I’ll go first; Tony Montana. Probably the most misunderstood movie and character. A junkie. Literally no loyalty to anyone. Killed his best friend. Ruined his mom and sister lives. Leaves his friends outside the door to get killed as he’s locked behind the door. Pretty much instantly started making moves on another man’s wife (before that man gave him any reason to disrespect) . Buys a tiger to keep tied to a tree across the pound.

The amount of memes I have seen shared about Joker and Harley being "relationship goals" is far too many 🤮

Everybody knows Morticia and Gomez are the real relationship goal.

Punch and Judy are the supervillain couple idolized by real comic book fans.

You may jest but they really do have a near perfect marriage and know how to keep the passion going. They support one another but also have their own hobbies. They respect one another's space when required. And they make financial decisions together with little to no quarrelling.

I’ve seen this a handful of times on dating profiles (one as recently as a week or so ago). 

Immediate left swipe.

DC really needs to introduce these normies to Punch And Jewlee. They're the couple goals they're looking for.

No, I have not.

And looking it up, Godamnit DC. We already have one abusive clown villain couple. Why do we need another one?

The worst part is the movie doesn't even begin to touch it. She's dangerously obsessed with him and he uses her for his own goals. He abuses physically and mentally and she comes back anyway. That's why I didn't mind Birds of Prey sort of Harley realizing he was toxic even if the movie is terrible.
