That being said I still can't get the logic from where Mandy is going with his very odd and sudden role claim.
But I'm wondering if it's in general moral "who's good in the movie and who isn't" or "protagonists of the movie are town and antagonists are mafia".
Like, in Pulp Fiction, Jules Winnfield is a protagonist, but he's essentially "evil" if we were to think about what his job actually is.
Mr. White was a protagonist in Reservoir Dogs, but he was also "evil" in a sense (while Mr. Orange was "good" [undercover cop]).
And there are so many ultimate antagonists from all of the Tarintino flicks (Bill, Wallace, Hans Landa from Inglorious Basterds, Joe Cabot, etc.) that Mr. White just doesn't seem right for a mafia role.
I definitely agree with you and that is the point I was trying to make. In Pulp fiction it is a bit more blurred as to who the bad guys are in my opinion and that is partly because of the story tale aspect. Bruce Willis is obviously a good guy and a bit of a maverick but are Jules and Vincent protagonists in the classic sense, not necessarily. The only real people I didn't like/empathise with in Pulp Fiction really were those two fucked up rapists.
