If they were Spiderman, Superman, Batman...

By the way, Willem Dafoe's acting skills can't be better, although exaggerated, but expressive.

The last video of the interview is quite interesting. Just thinking, if these two buddies are not two ordinary Irish dudes, but Spiderman, Batman, Superman, what would we think of this killing?

I think public opinion will certainly not be one-sided, but there will be more people to support them both. Compared with two ordinary people, superheroes seem to have more noble sentiments and firmer will, and people always think that superheroes are more reliable. After all, people's worries are not unreasonable: who decides who to kill, and what kind of crime should be executed, what if they admit the wrong person, if someone is framed, if these two little brothers kill themselves Can't stop.

Where the light of the law does not shine, people will always hope for a Robin Hood. But they are often afraid that he will become the Hulk.
There are bad people in the world, and then there are policemen who eliminate violence and well-being, and when there is a corrupt system, there are executioners. This society is always self-improving in the process of tinkering, and we, as the general public at the bottom, are angry at the struggle and oppression of the powers above, but we are also jealous.

Behind people's hatred of killing, their grudge against corruption, and their wait-and-see approach to heroes, there is the powerlessness of the people. After all, they are neither social rule-makers nor power holders. Whether it's a superhero, a perfect utopia, an individual with a total power or an unstable system, people's worries will continue for a long time.
