What a brilliant tactic.
This is well said and exactly correct.
People like to generally believe the anointed villain is always vanquished. But in the real world the more people know your name generally means the greater your success (murders, thieves etc notwithstanding). PT Barnum and Houdini were a couple of the OG pioneers who understood the most important thing was being known by as many people as possible. They understood headline gathering statements and stunts was a way to achieve that important thing.
