Personally, in this drama, except for people from the motherland, other Chaoying are not bad people, they are just ordinary people who sometimes make mistakes and sometimes compromise with bad things. For example, deep will try to seduce new girls to satisfy their curiosity, and even the locomotive killing the protagonist's girlfriend is actually an unintentional mistake.
Compared to them, Billy is more like a paranoid tyrant who will do anything for revenge, even taking the lives of all his friends, and the irony is that his reasons for revenge are not real, just an illusion generated by paranoia, so He is definitely not a hero against the world.
The core feeling of what this show wants to tell is not as written in the propaganda, heroes do evil, and a group of ordinary people stand up against this group of so-called heroes. Because they are not really evil, they are just ordinary.
It feels like it is still about the choices that everyone makes when facing evil, whether it is super hero or ordinary people, the choices made when good and evil are opposed determine who we are. The protagonist has grown from choosing to kill transparent people to choosing a fire locomotive, which is also saying that he has a deeper understanding of good and evil. So the core of the play is still heroism, he describes the protagonist step by step to become a 'true hero' in the population of the motherland in the play.
