Power vs. Responsibility genre in Film: Where do we stand?



I was compelled to take a stab at this topic, based mainly on the previous discussions in the X Men, First Class post; also, to a less degree, from all the critical decision-making while playing SWTOR game (yeah, the game is that detailed).

Fallen Heros: The blurred grey line between them and the Anti-hero



Well, now that we have a good discussion in regards to the hero/anti-hero archetype, I’m curious to see if we can take this topic a bit further, and slightly darker, so to speak.

In short I present the Fallen hero.
