I imagine they're popular because it's a natural reaction to perceived injustice for humans to immediately have an irrational urge of violence or harm.

Moral men will calm down quickly and remember that their revenge will accomplish nothing, but Hollywood isn't a moral place.

Deuteronomy 32:35

>To me belongeth vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

Romans 10:19

>Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

I would argue that heathen Hollywood's glorification of human vengeance is just yet another way to steal God's thunder. Venerating characters like the guy from Taken or Batman is mildly idolatrous.

Is Batman even vengeful? He doesn't kill people and only captures random criminals.

He's a vigilante and he's doing it because his family were victims of a crime. I'd say that's vengeance.

tbh I like Batman a lot, and he's often written to where his motive is

>Gotta do this so no other little kid loses his parents if I can prevent it

which I would say is righteous.

But vid related

He's an obsessive compulsive, narcissistic, hero obsessed sociopath. A whole generation of young people will be bent to the matrix of Batman's pathological self delusion. In this context Batman could be considered a social disease.

It makes sense why SJWs have overtaken the American comic book industry. They're self-obsessed sadomasochists with delusions of moral purity and heroism. Superheros must have a deep psychological resonance with them.

>>574435

if you think about it, people really lack original personalities now, subconsciously (or knowingly) developing character traits and ideals from pop culture (aka jewish propaganda).

That's the biggest load of hull I've ever heard!

Quite true. People are addicted to the drama and behave and expect lots of things to unfold like the dramas they have seen. Evidently seen in the cliché seen in the film being acted out in real life.

Lords have mercy for us. People still have not lost common sense completely and when things turns out differently than in the drama, those drama addicts are pretty much at a loss and melted down.

On the topic. People are satisfied with completing revenge, contrary to what the media keeps telling people. More precisely, it is in our basic psychology to see justice served. We rejoice when God punishes the unjust.

However, like how the enemy twisted sex which is to be happily consummated by husband and wife only into a travesty that is known as porn. They twisted the nature of our heart seeing Gods justice be done into what I would call a Revenge Porn. The "Revenge feels empty" is just a "moral obligation" to tell people to not be held responsible. Like how cigarettes companies know smokes kills, keep telling people that it kills but ultimately give nary-a-care for lung cancer victims.

It plays on our instincts.

With that said, it is a thrilling genre. The Godfather Part II is one of my favorite movies in history.
