Vic seems to think Hollywood created the "deviant"

character or if not exactly created, "popularized it."
Not quite.
Alienation and general disgust with the human condition pretty much was universal after the two World Wars and then when the Korean and Vietnam conflicts came along.
You probably didn't live in the US during the sixties but the assassinations tore a fabric in the national psyche.
I wouldn't characterize the films of Antonioni, Fassbinder, Herzog, etc. exactly as portraying heroic protagonists, would you?
How about your own country's production?
Tarkovsky: optimistic? Heroic?
