BW’s Saturday Article Link> The Anti-Hero Cruelty

Nobody calls them out on that.

Here at BW Media Spotlight, heroes rule and villain drool! Seeing the hero win is catharsis against our own troubles, and remind us that at least some evils, or whatever obstacles there are in our lives, are surmountable. Modern writers seem to take the defeatist attitude that evil will always win and there’s no point in trying, like a bummer Homer Simpson. Telling kids especially to just lay down and die is a terrible message as this writer discusses in a pushback against nihilistic stories where good becomes evil and evil becomes good.
