A hero who does whatever he wants, a hero who doesn't save the world, a carnival of the heart

It seems that many people don't rate this film highly, but I don't think it's bad. On the contrary, it is quite distinctive compared to many other films of the same type, because it doesn't save the world.
What a world to save, it's so tiring. This is not a movie about morality. I think it is too tiring to talk about morality all day long. Isn't the role of movies (or so-called literature and art) just to entertain? Why can't you create a hero with super powers that doesn't save the world? Everyone is an adult, everyone already has their own IQ, it's not that we can't think for ourselves, even if you show me such a movie, I won't be stupid enough to rob a bank isn't it? Why be so worried? Just satisfy our lustful mind and give us a spiritual carnival. The greatest morality lies in the freedom of the mind and rational thinking, rather than in the heavy moral preaching. Stories are just stories, but stories contain so much more than they are. The story is just a tool to illustrate the truth, but it requires our rational thinking.
But I guess our hero who does whatever he wants and doesn't save the world will still save the world in the next episode, so I hope it doesn't have the next episode, because there are enough heroes who save the world, although if it has the next episode I will Still have to see.
