    It’s because in the American zeitgeist, doing horrendous acts made you famous a la 70s murderer style.

    Fame from killing evil has never been popular in the US (until now).

    Look at the punisher character, if the US did romanticize killing evil, the character wouldn’t be used a lot by cops and authoritarian types.
