The evil ones die in tons of Disney movies. That's where mostly the US of A got their brains washed and consequently celebrate a public execution without due process.

I think they're talking about Cruella, a movie where the "heroine" would eventually go on to want to kill and skin puppies. There's also Maleficent, but I don't know enough about that one to comment.

I also think there's a lot of Hollywood heroes that are really villains and the movie is just reflecting the author's fucked up world view. The Kingsman is a good example. Can we stop writing environmentalists as villains?

In a lot of stories, due process isn't something that comes up because of time constants and scope of the villain's ambitions, but there's something wrong in the writer's room for The Flash TV series. Agents of Shield would eventually deal with super nazis and alien invaders, but Flash was dealing with bank robbers and locking them up in their secret prison.
