Even if they didn't try anything like that they still deserved to lose their heads
Isn't there literally a Marie Antoinette girlboss movie

Only if you can't see beyond surface-level aesthetics.
Starring the girl from Jumanji and Spiderman, yes
There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
I wasn't born in early 1800 but my school never mentioned the french revolution executions in a bad way but like "lol those fancy inbreds got axed", they did mention "The Terror" as something about infighting among the revolutionaries, which was depicted as something sad.
But as you can clearly see, I remember dick about all that.
Am I still allowed to feel bad for Marie Antoinette?
no lol, she deserved what she got just like every unrepentant royal does
the closest to sympathy i get for royals is feeling bad that the romanov children had to be executed, but that was a matter of pragmatism rather than justice
The last emperor of China lived out a decade as a civilian under Chinese Communist rule. It is very possible that the Romanov children could have enjoyed the same fate. Either way, it isn't as though the western powers were shy about funneling money and weapons to the White Army during the 1920s or the German Nationalists during the 1930s or various anti-Communist European factions indefinitely.
Hell, Americans were chomping at the bit to embrace a legion of Anastasia imposters well into the 1990s when FOX Animation Studio decided to climb aboard the revisionist train and plant its own knife in the back of the USSR.
Killing the Romanov kids did exactly dick-all to help the Soviet movement.
