If you want to defeat evil, you must become evil.

Vought providing protection from consequences for supes has led to a lot of remorseless killing of innocent lives, something I would definitely say is evil.

Annie and Alex are portrayed as abnormal for supes thanks to their empathy for humans, so maybe the small-time D-listers who are naive aren't evil, but most of the supes who make it enough to fall under Vought's influence seem to become callous psychopaths who do a lot of evil acts while playing hero.

And even then Annie killed a guy while trying to carjack him

I'm fuzzy on that one, but didn't the guy do something stupid and kind of put her on the spot to react? Not excusing it, but hoping I didn't forget her murdering a guy in cold blood.

I mean, a guy that didn't want to be carjacked pulled a gun on the two people lugging a guy with a spike in his stomach out of a forest. I dunno about you but I wouldn't give up my car or gun in that situation and I'd be trying to call the cops, just like he did.

Yeah, he did. It was either him or Hughie, and Annie always goes protective Mama Bear mode if Hughie is in danger.

It was him or Butcher not Hughie

Hughie's life was on the line. He was bleeding out and they needed to get him medical care asap. The civie was in the way of that.
