That's because 'Good Guys' are too soft. Ya ever notice how the good die young but the evil just keep rooooolllling along?

I think humanity is a bit too masochistic as a whole. We love and admire the bad guys because they remind us of whom we really are on the inside.

Look at American lexicon. Our language is full of violent metaphors:

" I'm gonna make a killing at the stock market "

" The Giants pounded the Jets "

" I died laughing "

We're obsessed with violence. When you study other languages you'll be stunned to find how little violent slang and metaphors there are outside of historic or religious references.
