I hate this shit. Give me a Rocky every single time. A flawed hero is fine with me. But guys who just go around making their pain everyone else’s problem aren’t entertaining. I see too much of it every day.
"But what good have all these anti-hero narratives done for us? We’ve been entertained, sure, but it also feels pretty obvious that they’ve normalized an American masculinity that is selfish, abusive, nihilistic, and ultimately self-destructive."
I'm Tired of Anti-Heroes
What good have they done us?
