El Paso is a country song that although the bad guys don't win, it makes you sad cause the good guy doesn't.

Scarface is a movie where the bad guys win, but there are no good guys...

If this interests you, you should look up "antihero" and "antivillain"  They might help you out in finding more intriguing characters...
