>>96308021everyone wants to see justice. Not lawful justice, a balancing of karma in the story you read.
When the baddie does something horrible, they makes the hero angry. They also make the reader want the hero to beat the shit out of the baddie. It's wonderful to watch a hero just let loose and punish the baddie for all the shit they've done.
Like anon says, if you care about the characters or the story then the hero is expressing your anger/desire by beating up the baddie.
