Highcastle: Yeah. Every genre does it. From books, to anime, to live TV, to DC or Marvel. Everyone does it. IT. GETS. OLD! You go in thinking: "God I hope the lay the smack down on the villain. The hero has the power and skill and they got all their allies with them!" Then, SURPRISE! "I never asked for this! I just wanna be normal!" Makes a deal with some trickster who wipes their memory and drains their powers away just so they can pretend they have no responsibility. I think one time Peter Parker got depressed and quit being Spiderman and tried to ignore it when cops were getting killed by super villains. Like, WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!? Just because you quit or run away doesn't mean the villains will. Evil doesn't sleep! Can help but feel this is a bit insensitive.

Imgaine your a public denfender.Your pay is shit,your office is broken down,your viewed to be a scumbag since part of you rjob involes defending criminals or incompetent becasuse your not some hotshot private attonery.You're case load is so big that you miss out on the things you'll actually prefer to spend your time on becasuse you making sure your cilent gets the best advice possible.Every once and a while you get a 'thank you' from someone you help but mostly its a thankless job.

Can you really say that you wouldnt think about walking in a sitution like that? One of the reason why this trope is used is beasuse its a thing everyone feel it somepoint in there lives.Admittly its a bit harder to pull off if said character is a member of a superhero team or a shared universe.
