I'm so sick of super heroes
coming to "save the day."
What are they really accomplishing?
The meteor will just come again.
So-and-so's concocting another evil plan
to be shot down in the sequel.
I am so sick of giant robots.
I am so sick of trilogies.

All I need is one shot.
Pure misanthropy.
Everybody dies.
There's no false sense of safety
when the Heroine is in the Hero's arms,
him rushing through her veins.
She's going to die, regardless.
They all are.
By "rescuing" her over and over again,
she's just going to get old and fat,
harder to carry and less grateful about it.
She could have died young and beautiful.
She could have been revered as a martyr,
Forever in our hearts.

It makes you wonder,
who is really the villain here?
Who is the true sadist?
The one trying to end it all,
or the one who always wins?

Not that it really matters,
it's all make-believe with no mission
but mindless entertainment,
impossible and unrealistic.
But if the basis is in logical fallacy,
show me something horrible
so I can take comfort in its frivolity,
as opposed to the inverse
where the deus ex machina
is inevitable and therefore false.
