The greater the power, the greater the desire

The story of superheroes has been told for decades, and all that should be said is finished. The whole world has been saved countless times by various heroes, and how to save the world by heroes has become boring. Until this anti-superhero drama appeared! It can be said that after the birth of this drama, there will be more and more similar stories appearing. For a long time, we have all fallen into a paradox: If there are superheroes in this world, will they be the righteous party? Just like we asked, if there is a person in the world who becomes the emperor of the world, will he be a good person? Will not. He will think of possessing his power and extending his power for generations to come. People can't stand the test, because people have desires, and people's desires can never be satisfied. How can a person who can fly into the sky and escape the earth live like an ordinary person? Just like human beings, we will always only look at ants high up. Will we consider the feelings of ants? Will we think about the morals or thoughts of the ant world? The sophistication of this drama is that it vividly reveals the true face of the group of people who are usually high and respectful. Compared to the bloody scenes and violent and pornographic images in the series, the real faces of the superheroes after their masks are torn off are more shocking things. Everyone has personality worship. Once you worship something or someone, you are not allowed to see the face behind the idol mask. From this perspective, it is not so much that "superheroes" have boundless powers, but rather it is the blind worship of our mob that gives them power and the power to live and kill. There is a line in "Spider-Man" that says: The greater the power, the greater the responsibility. But the reality is: the greater the power, the greater the desire. Our blind worship has given the "idols" the power to decide our life and death, but the "idols" have become more inflated due to the worship of ordinary people.
