Poll Suggestion: Travis Bickle Hero or Villain?

I agree a shorter title would be better.

To be honest, I was hesitant about the title.thanks

Thanks for shortening the title. Please also add Face-Off:

Face-Off: Travis Bickle - Hero or Villain?

@RezaKJoi​ It would be my pleasure

@Breumaster​ Isn't what he did considered justice?. If he's classified as Villain, then Batman should also be classified as Villain because he's dispensing justice himself and killing bad guys, as happened in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

No, it still is selfjustice. 

That's what impulsive people always demand without thinking through where vigilantism leads. Follow the idea to its logical conclusion. In reality, it often serves mainly to stir up hatred and then defuse it again through a supposed sense of catharsis. In that respect, it's actually counterproductive. When the feeling has already been satisfied on the screen, the urge to satisfy it in real life becomes weaker. It's like holding a carrot on a fishing rod in front of a donkey. 

The real function is to reduce those emotions in the audience. After all, on screen people can see that it has already happened. A feeling is being gratified through consuming the film. Since almost nobody would actually be willing to do the same thing in real life, it works as a kind of emotional outlet for those who enjoy directing their hatred at the subject.

Go ahead and do it in real life, and the justice system will come after you and lock you up, because you're neither Travis Bickle nor Batman. After the act, you're simply a criminal yourself. ;)

@Breumaster​ I've seen many crimes like these, both in movies and in real life, go unpunished, especially if the perpetrator is wealthy or powerful. Therefore, if these criminals are dealt with in the same way as Travis Bickle

, I will respect it and consider it a heroic act.

@rubyfruit76​ Right, It will be easy to answer When adding a third option
