Many people enjoy discussing and judging the morals of characters in films, but that’s not the main point. Very few characters are entirely good or entirely evil, which tends to result in dull and poorly made movies. Regardless of whether viewers resonate with the story, they should show compassion for the characters. It’s important to interpret their motives and circumstances to understand what led them to make certain decisions and to reflect on ourselves.

    He flips the coin to decide people’s fate, not to deatroy money.

    But you also just gave another example of a character’s nuanced motivation and morals. That is what makes Two Face an interesting character in a different way than the Joker!

    A villain that burns the money for no reason other than moving the plot forward would be boring.
