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.

Unsung hero

usually in a movie, the unsung hero has major importance in the story by doing something major, but then is brushed off as a side character.

an example would be Hobie Brown in across the spider verse or the hacker in the isle of dogs
(these are both the unsung hero of the movie )

Evil Hero

Characters who possess the qualities of traditional heroes—such as strength, intelligence, and leadership—but use them to pursue selfish, destructive, or immoral goals. Unlike typical villains, they often believe their actions are justified or necessary, and may even view themselves as saviors or protectors in their own narrative. These characters blur the line between heroism and villainy, challenging conventional definitions of good and evil by embodying heroic traits while engaging in morally corrupt behavior.
