I’m a superhero movies fan, so let me explain my perspective. The message I take from those stories is not that I should wait for the hero, it’s that I should become one. Even though I don’t have any supernatural powers, I identify with the hero easily and I draw strength from the stories that helps me in real life. For a couple of days after such movie, I feel like I’m able to make the hard but right decisions and stand up for both others and myself. There are different kinds of people, so I understand it doesn’t have the same effect on you, but please consider there are also people like me.
