Johns said he's not a villain

This. Johns made a point to say he's an antagonist, not a villain.
His proportions are off

What difference?
>>83662394
Because when you do the sort of things he did and you are in the DC universe, you're a villain.

It probably means he'll have good intentions for what he's doing
>>83662480
if you make a play about Hitler (let's call it Springtime for Germany?), an historically-accurate Hitler mind you, he is the protagonist, and the Allies are the antagonists.
The protagonist is not always the moral center of the story.
>>83662480
Antagonists are not necessarily bad or evil. They simply oppose the protagonist, even if said protagonist is a good guy.
why did he kill pandora?
>>83662539
Because she's shit
>>83662394
Because Geoff Johns likes to do inappropriate things with untouchable continuity.
