Just because he was carrying DIO’s will doesn’t make him any worse than Valentine, especially considering that the DIO from Part 6 was almost completely rewritten from the character he used to be. Evil people and good people can have similar goals, in fact, they do all the time, so that doesn’t really prove anything. As for the deaths with Made In Heaven, most of them were unintentional and unavoidable except the Joestar group, who he got rid of because they were in his way, which is exactly what you credit Valentine positively for, so that’s kind of a moot point in this discussion. Saying heaven is ”unnecessary” is kind of stupid as technically getting the corpse parts was not necessary either. He could’ve improved the country through his policies and forward thinking. He didn’t need the corpse parts in order to improve America, so saying heaven is unnecessary is a weak argument. And his goal was neither ”substanceless” nor ”pointless.” He wanted to advance the human race by eliminating pointless actions and allowing people to do what they wish without the fear of not knowing their fate. This is a noble goal, and arguably even more so than Valentine’s. As such, his goal is not substanceless. As for pointless, I’m not sure what you mean by that. And you can’t really tell me Pucci was naive and Valentine wasn’t. Funny believed he would gain his nation bliss by gaining the corpse, ignoring the many ways the corpse could become the center of conflict easily to those who know about it and that this newfound period for the US would likely come at the expense of other countries and their people. As such, the corpse being pit together was certainly not a genius idea by any means. This is my main point, Valentine and Pucci are in the same league of villainy in terms of moral sensibilities, but Pucci had an arguably more noble goal and could accomplish more good at the end of the day.
