Every Superhero Movie

Yeah the good guy wins in 99.9% of all movies. But that's not a bad thing.

I think one of the reasons I liked Rogue One was that it's "win condition" wasn't "every one lived happily ever after". although I will say, if you have enough time to find a beach and make out, you probably have enough tome to find a shuttle, or something.
(the other reason I liked Rogue One was Alan Tudyk as K2-S0)(okay, actually, that's why I loved Rogue One. Sue me.)
- It's good to have one movie be different, but if every movie was like that, it would be boring and depressing.
- I loved the ending of Rogue One, saw it in the cinema too (I don't really watch new Star Wars movies).
  I am fan of the director, Gareth Edwards, Monsters (2010) was such a good indie sci-fi experience.
Sort of is tho. It might give you the false impression that the good guy wins in reality too, which couldnt be any further from the truth. It also teaches kids that there is a greater power that will eventually save them, which again is not going to happen in reality most of the time.
- How would you rewrite The Sound of Music to fit this? Have the Nazis capture them at the end?
No, Not a bad thing, but not interesting for me to watch either!

Yea, this is true, if you just ignore literally everything else about superhero genre pieces, the themes and allegories that are being presented through storytelling, and only pay attention to the surface level spectacle.

- Let the poor guy cope.

Ozymandias has entered the chat.

(old man) Logan wants a word too.

Boy, have I got news for you...

beat me to it
They thanks. That was an interesting read

Yes. Let's give credit to Infinity War which did not end with the heroes winning. Despite clearly being a 2-parter that the heroes would eventually win, it was a complete story arc and if you were one of the 16 million Americans who died in the 5 year gap between the releases of Infinity War and Endgame, you'd have died knowing only that the heroes lost.

Endgame was pretty effective, if heavy-handed, at manipulating my emotions, so it's hard for me to count it as a pure win, but that's just me.

However, yes: Infinity War is an exception that proves the rule.

If you want to be this simplistic, you could also apply this to the Matrix, Die Hard, at least 3 Star Wars films, most od the James Bond series, and basically every action movie made between 1991 and 1999.
