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.)

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.

hero button

The hero button is the button on a shirt being worn by a woman with large breasts.

The button is heroic because of how strong it has to be to keep the shirt closed

Her Guilty Gear Giovanna cosplay is so perfect, it even has the hero button perfectly.

Heroes and villains

Russell that's a prescription for deontology.

Hym "And you're not a deontologist. Heroes and villains are clearly a factor to you. You have a thousand videos about surveillance amd governmental overreach but when it's happening to a villain you have nothing to say. So are you talking about ME SPECIFICALLY? I (specifically) shouldn't have to know who the heroes and the villains are because if you can get me to agree to principles at the level of the deontological, what? What happens then Russell?"

Anti-Hero

An Anti-Hero is a central main character working along the side of good but having characteristics that do not make them what usual heroes are like. They are the type to lie, cheat, and steal their way into things or even go against the law or even be seen as an outright villain. However, the villain is who the audience despises and detaches themselves from while the anti-hero is whom we cheer and root for. The Anti-Hero has an ambiguous morality between good and bad and depending on the story decide where there fate goes with the thought of a type of redemption as a hero or becoming corrupt as a villain.

Many Anti-Heroes are often the types the audience would resonate towards than the one dimensional goody two shoes heroes.
