How about just be decent for the fuck of it? Why should we need reasons to be good people?

There is a difference between being a good person and going out of your way to get revenge for someone.

My point is that only a romantic partner can truly be the sole motivator to become a hero or to seek revenge. I don’t necessarily disagree that fridging is misogynistic, but honestly, a platonic loved one dying is not a strong enough reason to want revenge or to become a hero.

So if you lived in a superhero universe and you got powers and your best friend was killed, you would honestly use your powers to find the killer and be a hero to avenge them? Seriously?

You don’t expect people to be motivated by loss of any loved one other than a romantic partner? Really? No other kind of love is strong enough for you?

Honestly, no, I’m not saying friends or family members aren’t important, but they aren’t important enough to decide to get revenge, avenge or put on a costume to fight crime for. Or to just change your life around and be a good person

In my opinion only romantic love should do that.

My problem with Spider-Man is that Uncle Ben is the central motivation for Peter, and in my opinion, it’s dumb. I honestly don’t think Peter should have even gone to confront the killer. An uncle or any family member isn’t worth that.
