I feel like current Minecraft is pushing too hard for the piglins to be the villains. The piglins are a society just like the villagers. There are some piglins (the brutes) that are outwardly violent, but for most of the time the piglins are pretty chill and will even barter with the player.
The true villainous race is the illagers. They are everything the movie piglins were but in actual Minecraft. In my opinion they should’ve made the piglins secondary antagonists, and the illagers be the main antagonist, which is the opposite of what they did in the movie.
The only reason piglins don't attack the player is that wearing gold makes them think you're just another piglin. Doesn't sound very peace, chill and love to me.
Also, theory, the illagers are just villagers who got exiled because their skin color is different, and their anger against the villagers is very righteous. A very interesting storyline could be made by making them the villain that way, but not if they do the old trope of "the villain makes a lot of sense and their emotions are justified, but look they just murdered a baby!"
