    I've been wanting to write a hero story that's literally "magneto was right" where the hero realizes the villain is actually in the right, and by opposing the villain they're defending the problem. then the hero joins the villain and gets branded by the media/state as a traitor. Not sure where to go from there

        Or the heroes can win and upend society.

        Cape stories always end with the status quo preserved, but do they really need to?

      They solve the problem together. Then Magneto and the hero both get sentenced to 5 years of re-education in a post-revolutionary purge done by incredibly based zoomers. During their stay in Siberia, Magneto and the hero find out they have actually been very very gay all along and get married. During the act, there is a remembrance of Stalin.

      I quit playing veautiful joe for this reason. The bad guy offered joe half the planet. And even as a young lib I realized that a true hero wouldn't pass up the chance to turn half the planet into a viewtiful utopia. I just decoded the game was a choose your own advenute and switched it off
