Questioning heroism itself

It’s so good, the style of Netflix is ​​simply great. What's more commendable is that the noir is different from Daredevil, and the only thing that is more similar is the lens. DD spent a lot of time discussing whether to fight the bad guys whether to make him the good man, JJ is very determined from beginning to end, he is not a hero at all, no matter whether he has that kind of desire in his heart, or whether others want him to be a hero. The process of deleting the information at the end is absolutely impossible. Many articles have already discussed the metaphor of feminism, but we can actually think about the issue of heroism itself. Those who made negative comments were nothing more than complaining about the bad special effects, bad action scenes, or feeling that the protagonist did not look like a hero. It's simply that I didn't get to the point of this show. Batman has a very famous proposition. Let me quote it here by breaking the fourth wall, that is, everyone can become a Batman, or a hero. Of course, I don't quite agree with this point, but at a certain level, everyone can become a hero, which means that society does not actually need a hero who can look up to everyone and can solve all problems. What does that need? Even if it is a very exciting DD, in fact, like Jessica Jones, they are discussing a question: when new problems beyond the scope of the existing judicial system to solve the problem emerge, should the problem still be brought to justice? Of course, society itself has no right to answer this question directly, but are there people with superpowers? When procedural justice is missing, who will build it? Putting it into the specific plot, it is simplified to face the big villain. Does the protagonist choose to kill or not to kill? So far, the protagonists of the two dramas have made different choices, but they are likely to bring extremely serious consequences, that is, they cannot solve the problem fundamentally. After all, it is an ideological struggle. In the process of the protagonist making choices step by step, it is essentially a kind of debate. It is conceivable that if the Defenders really got together, it would be another quarrel. Because the superheroes were unfamiliar at first, they united and finally defeated the boss after a cool battle. Don’t you feel bored with this plot... Many fundamental value selection questions do not have definite answers. If you change the film and television Works that can spend more effort to discuss these issues are works worthy of respect.
