Pesci's character gets killed. DeNiro ostensibly ends up in jail for the rest of his life. Just about everyone involved with the Lufthansa heist gets knocked off. Henry Hill ends up turning states evidence, living in the middle of a boring suburban hell of his own making.
They all get their comeuppance. Not exactly sure how this elevates these slimeballs to "mythic" status.

You are of course correct, nobody becomes anything close to mythic hero status which seemed to be the implication. You watch this film more than once to further appreciate the acting and directing, which IMHO is stellar. I've seen it a half dozen times at least. Perhaps tin could purchase Ghandi for repeated viewing if moral content is his aim.
