Tragic hero or a egotistical prick?
There is a saying like "Everyone is the hero of their own story". I think the self righteous take that a little too seriously. If they suffered tragedy, like say there family was shot dead right in front of them, maybe that person feels more entitled to become a hero for vengeance or some other stupid reason like that. Perhaps after suffering such a fate, they would begin going down the dark path. They may think of themselves as the tragic hero but in reality they just turn into a self righteous dick?
Now doesn't that sound like a certain pancake obsessed so called detective you all love so much? But I guess a killer is fine as long as he's good looking.<div class='edited'>(edited by The-Hunter)</div>
