Is it subjective or a universal truth about what constitutes “good” and “evil”?
What constitutes good and evil now days has significantly changed from what it used to be; what constitutes good and evil. Heroes use to swoop in and save the damsel in distress, catch the bad-guy and save the day; today they blow-up British Parliament ('V' from V for Vendetta), they drop people, who clearly need help, down elevator shafts (Rorshach for Watchmen), and they murder and maim because their country needs them (Edward Hyde from League of Extraordinary Gentleman). While the need for good remains the same, how it’s achieved is subjective; we expect anti-heroes.
