You either die and be a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

This is quoted from Two-Face of the Dark Knight movie.An interpretation of this quote is that you could stick to your morals,of what's right,to be loyal to a cause,even if it is of your detriment (die and be a hero).Should you contradict your values for your betterment,you may find yourself making the same decisions of the very people you yourself considered corrupt/evil(live long enough to see yourself become a villain.)

Before:Main character opposes system of the rich profiting off of working class

After:Main character is hired by rich to host a vlog to rant about systemic oppression,only to be benefiting from the system he once fought against

you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian

It means that in life you are given choices and this defines who you will become morally. You choose who you are and if you choose to be bad than you are the villian but if you choose to be good then you are a hero. We are all faced with the choice of being good or bad but you only you can choose it.

A quote from the dark knight by harvey dent

Tejeda chose to be good for the first 25 years of his life but then he decided to rob and kill people. At his trial the judge asked Tejada how he could've changed so drastically and his lawyer replied by saying you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian.

Guitar Hero Mix-up

When you get two songs mixed up because they were both playable in a Guitar Hero game.

Person 1: Did you know the theme song from Top Gear is based on a Rush song?
Person 2: Don't you mean Jessica by The Allman Brothers Band?
Person 1: Your right, that was a Guitar Hero mix-up.

Hero Syndrome

A hero syndrome is a syndrome that makes the person who has it act like a hero. They are desperately trying their best to help others, and when they fail they feel guilty and it can even lead to suicidal thoughts.

I shouldn’t vent to this person if there is no solution to my problem, they have Hero Syndrome.

Aleph Hero

An Italo Disco song written by Dave Rodgers in his Mid-20s back in 1989, refering to himself being a Hero while talking about sex, toys and madness, it even appeared on "The Jolto Chronicles" (2018) from chip300RR, where the main protagonist, a Jolteon, is driving a 2002 Honda Integra Type R with that Song Playing on the Radio, but sadly, the song never gets much attention.

Val:Hey, check out this nice song called "Aleph Hero"

Max:Oh wow, a Nice Italo Disco Song
