It's an amazing premise. We're talking about a world where 364 days out of the year, the few normal people who are naturally kind sit and watch weird assholes try to justify their shitty actions.

Even crazier: a world where non-purgers become vigilantes during non-purge days, taking vengeance on people who brag about their crimes. Nobody suspects them because they play it cool every purge day.

They become popular, get caught, and the movie ends in a peaceful revolution to stop the purge and end the series.

Wow, you spoiled the whole thing wth. Now I have no reason to watch this hypothetical movie you weren't gonna create anyway

What a far-fetched and unrealistic scenario

My mind is surreal and dark beyond all reason

Office space with a better ending

They kind of did that with the third movie.

It restarted with the fifth movie (four was a sequel). Mostly because the political party whose platform is "we like purges" was reelected. Shockingly things got out of hand. Now there's a sixth movie in production.
