Where the evil villain will go on a rant about how society is cruel and needs to change and that they're going to change it. The hero opposes this for like zero reasons and somehow we're supposed to be on the hero's side.

Are we really supposed to believe that our society doesn't need to change? Are we supposed to cheer for the status quo even when it's shown to be terrible?

I also hate the sympathetic villain trope where it's shown that the villain is the product of abuse and yet their want for revenge is still treated as unjustified.

      Silco is great and I appreciate that

      while he is willing to do almost anything to achieve his goals, the show never even pretends that his cause is unjustived.

      I also like how the only cop that

      is actually willing to help people gets mocked by her colleagues, impeded by her superiors and eventually kicked out against her will.
