one thing i think is funny is that, when you really think about it, a lot of heroes in movies aren't really heroes, but simply people with influence (usually someone who has superpowers or advanced tech and weapons) who effed up really bad, and then the movie is them having to work to fix their mistake. but they get called a "hero" because their mistake had world-ending, life-threatening consequences for civilians, and then they fight to make sure that the civilians don't suffer for their mess up.

for example. in megamind, who does the true villain wind up being? titan. and titan wouldn't exist if megamind hadn't created him. however, because megamind fought and defeated titan, he's seen as a hero, when really the problem wouldn't have existed if not for him.

in spiderman: far from home, mysterio becomes a villain because he was screwed over by an avenger. so now another avenger has to fight him to stop him from hurting people. but if it weren't for the "superheroes," mysterio wouldn't be a threat in the first place

in shazam: fury of the gods, literally the whole movie exists because he broke some sacred staff, and now the world is in danger because his actions wound up releasing some ancient gods into the human world.

don't get me wrong, i love these movies (and all the others i simply didn't feel like listing rn) but it's just funny to me to think about. these heroes get praised for "saving the day" but it's the heroes' fault the day even needs saving
