I mean, I know Ted Bundy was the protagonist... but I got the strong feeling he was the good guy in this. Honestly, as in, that wasn't a sarcastic bit, they try and make him heroic. And yeah, the title suggests something: "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile" but it doesn't achieve what it suggests, this is a Ted Bundy story if it was made by pre-woke Disney, and he was the charming prince. The Serial Killer part is muted to the point where the viewer you think the writer actually thought he was innocent. And it's a movie about a Serial Killer and rapist that tries to not offend. That doesn't work, Serial Killers and rapists are very offensive people, so offensive we lock them up for life or execute them... unless you are in California, Washington, Oregon, DC, Chicago, New York or New Jersey, where they are more focused on locking up the people that got away for the crime of self defense. So, that is probably why, in their effort to woke up a movie about a Seriel killer and rapist whilst avoiding as many potential triggers as possible, they succeeded in making Ted Bundy look almost heroic
