Brace yourself for an eye-opening journey as we unravel 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,450 thematic realm of anti-heroes. 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,890 On this episode of The Fallible Man Podcast, we dial delve deep 6 00:00:16,890 --> 00:00:19,020 into the essence of masculinity. 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,590 Unearthing the top eight or 10. 8 00:00:22,994 --> 00:00:26,865 We'll see anti-hero traits to imitate as men. 9 00:00:27,855 --> 00:00:30,615 Prepare to question everything you thought you knew about heroism. 10 00:00:30,615 --> 00:00:35,595 As we explore the forbidden territories where darkness meets redemption, power 11 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,765 dances with morality, and the line between good and evil blurs a little bit. 12 00:00:40,425 --> 00:00:42,405 It's time to

00:00:58,500 --> 00:00:59,790 Here's the million dollar question. 19 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,669 How do men like us reach our full potential? 20 00:01:03,209 --> 00:01:07,199 Growing to the men we

45 00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:34,140 Now let's get back to the show. 46 00:02:36,269 --> 00:02:38,700 Now guys, I've always been an anti-hero guy. 47 00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:39,750 Anti-hero. 48 00:02:39,750 --> 00:02:40,679 Anti-hero, how? 49 00:02:40,679 --> 00:02:45,510 I'll say that a a few different ways, but it's the same thing. 50 00:02:45,515 --> 00:02:47,130 It's just me talking badly. 51 00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:51,540 I never liked the shiny, happy, superhero nonsense people because 52 00:02:51,899 --> 00:02:53,070 they just seemed absurd to me. 53 00:02:54,279 --> 00:02:57,299 I was right there with Batman when he decided he should kill 54 00:02:57,299 --> 00:03:00,929 Superman because Superman was too big of a threat and an unknown. 55 00:03:02,130 --> 00:03:06,090 We see exactly why it was the right choice in the DC series. 56 00:03:06,090 --> 00:03:07,680 Injustice gods among us. 57 00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:12,240 I mean, even in Star Wars Honzel was way cooler than Luke. 58 00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:18,360 I wanted to dig into my own psyche a little bit and figure out why me 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,870 and so many other men are frequently more taken with anti-heroes. 60 00:03:22,230 --> 00:03:25,830 Then the Captain America is out there Now, don't get me wrong, cap's, 61 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:27,600 okay, and he is got a big heart. 62 00:03:27,660 --> 00:03:29,400 I know a lot of people who like those guys. 63 00:03:30,150 --> 00:03:33,390 But most people really dig the anti-heroes a little more. 64 00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:39,990 So why now if you know me, I, I have to ask why a lot, 65 00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:41,850 because I want to get deeper. 66 00:03:41,850 --> 00:03:45,300 I wanna know, I wanna understand, and you have to peel the layers back. 67 00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:46,980 So why? 68 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:47,740 Why? 69 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:48,460 Why? 70 00:03:50,085 --> 00:03:50,775 Then it hit me. 71 00:03:51,075 --> 00:03:54,975 A lot of men identify with some traits that make them stand out. 72 00:03:55,995 --> 00:03:58,065 We see the traits and are drawn to them. 73 00:03:58,395 --> 00:03:59,715 We want them in our own lives. 74 00:04:00,225 --> 00:04:03,915 No one not saying we should imitate some of the anti-heroes in every way. 75 00:04:03,945 --> 00:04:06,765 Please don't try to go the whole va vigilante route. 76 00:04:07,335 --> 00:04:11,145 It will end badly, uh, with you dead or in prison, or somebody hurt. 77 00:04:12,015 --> 00:04:15,075 But deep inside, we've all wanted to be Batman. 78 00:04:15,075 --> 00:04:17,774 Jumping off the rooftops, putting bat guys in jail. 79 00:04:18,974 --> 00:04:24,164 By the way, my name is Brent and I am the fallible man and welcome 80 00:04:24,164 --> 00:04:27,914 to the Fallible Man Podcast, your home for all things, man. 81 00:04:28,815 --> 00:04:31,935 A big shout out to Fallible Nation, that's my private community. 82 00:04:32,445 --> 00:04:34,815 And you guys helped put this show on and keep us going. 83 00:04:35,534 --> 00:04:38,025 And a warm welcome to our first time listeners. 84 00:04:38,025 --> 00:04:40,905 Thank you for giving us a chance checking out the show. 85 00:04:41,115 --> 00:04:43,005 I hope you take away something great from it. 86 00:04:43,335 --> 00:04:44,835 We'd love to hear more from you. 87 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,170 Now, let me be really clear. 88 00:04:50,250 --> 00:04:52,920 This is not, let me repeat. 89 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:57,360 This is not much to many just people's dismay. 90 00:04:57,365 --> 00:05:00,720 I'm sure a list of the best anti-heroes. 91 00:05:01,890 --> 00:05:05,790 There's a great many that will not be mentioned in this conversation. 92 00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:11,580 However, many of the traits are shared by most amazing anti-heroes. 93 00:05:13,005 --> 00:05:14,655 So what about them? 94 00:05:14,715 --> 00:05:17,295 Can we imitate or should we imitate? 95 00:05:18,195 --> 00:05:19,245 Like anti-heroes? 96 00:05:19,575 --> 00:05:23,625 Men would be better off with a few of these traits, habits, or ideals. 97 00:05:26,565 --> 00:05:32,205 Now, these aren't in any specific order, and I'll throw out some character names, 98 00:05:32,205 --> 00:05:37,185 but it, it's what's the takes behind them that really made them stand out? 99 00:05:38,055 --> 00:05:41,745 So if you guys haven't seen the series, Jack Reacher. 100 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:43,560 Then you missed out. 101 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,380 The TV series is way better than movies. 102 00:05:46,950 --> 00:05:53,220 Al Richardson does an amazing job and the most notable thing I want to take from 103 00:05:53,225 --> 00:06:00,060 this is not his incredibly huge physique, cuz the man has a monster in the show. 104 00:06:00,510 --> 00:06:04,890 But it's his inability to walk away from real issues. 105 00:06:06,150 --> 00:06:09,960 You see, Jack Reeder does what needs to be done, and as men, I think we 106 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,640 need to do what needs to be done. 107 00:06:12,210 --> 00:06:15,270 He sees wrong and he can't help but intervene. 108 00:06:16,230 --> 00:06:20,400 Now, I'm not talking about someone speeding or being a jerk, but when 109 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:27,210 faced when real bad with real evil, he can't idly sit by and do nothing. 110 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,190 He does what he must do. 111 00:06:31,050 --> 00:06:32,580 Sometimes I get some in trouble. 112 00:06:32,580 --> 00:06:35,280 Sometimes it doesn't, and it definitely could get you in trouble, 113 00:06:36,180 --> 00:06:38,880 but men do what needs to be done. 114 00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:45,510 The second one and what list would be complete without the wolverine. 115 00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:49,890 And I can hear it now, but Brad, he's a mutant and I, I can't regen. 116 00:06:50,190 --> 00:06:50,770 That's true. 117 00:06:50,770 --> 00:06:52,920 You cannot regenerate, so don't be that stupid. 118 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:53,340 Okay. 119 00:06:54,630 --> 00:06:58,770 What I wanted to bring up with the Wolverine is he leads into 120 00:06:58,770 --> 00:07:04,049 his senses and to trust them, literally his senses and intuition. 121 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:05,849 Yes, he has super senses. 122 00:07:06,330 --> 00:07:12,000 No, you can't have those, but you can develop your actual senses and 123 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,109 learn to use them to raise your situational awareness at all times. 124 00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:19,919 You can actually practice your hearing. 125 00:07:20,430 --> 00:07:21,540 I know it seems weird. 126 00:07:21,810 --> 00:07:22,320 It's true though. 127 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,580 You can actually practice developing your sense of hearing, developing your 128 00:07:26,580 --> 00:07:29,880 sense of smell, developing your vision. 129 00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,270 You, yes, there are actually exercises to improve that. 130 00:07:34,530 --> 00:07:39,030 As you develop yourself, your intuition will become invaluable. 131 00:07:40,620 --> 00:07:46,200 If you follow Wolverine, he always trusts his actual senses and the 132 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:51,479 instincts that come because he's feeding the extra information into his body. 133 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,969 He's hearing things, he's smelling things, he's listening, he's watching. 134 00:07:56,969 --> 00:07:56,979 He's. 135 00:07:58,815 --> 00:08:01,184 He lets it feed his intuition and he trusts his gut. 136 00:08:02,234 --> 00:08:06,794 And men need to trust their instincts more because I think there's a lot of out 137 00:08:06,799 --> 00:08:11,325 there that have learned to second guess our gut, and it's not always a good thing. 138 00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:19,515 Guys, the third one on the list is becoming relentless. 139 00:08:20,790 --> 00:08:24,120 Agent 47 from the popular video game series Hitman. 140 00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:29,820 Also the now two or three time movie, right, is relentless. 141 00:08:30,270 --> 00:08:35,520 If Agent 47 is on your trail, your ticket's punched, dude, I mean he's a 142 00:08:35,525 --> 00:08:40,560 lot of things, but Relentless is one of them, and it's an important feature. 143 00:08:41,220 --> 00:08:45,270 No matter what kind of crazy security you have, he will find a way no 144 00:08:45,270 --> 00:08:46,740 matter the great personal risk. 145 00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:48,090 To get you. 146 00:08:48,569 --> 00:08:52,470 He doesn't know how to stop, give up or quit, and that's okay cuz 147 00:08:52,470 --> 00:08:56,400 he's a super genius when it comes to planning out his methodical work. 148 00:08:57,150 --> 00:08:59,430 And that comes with being relentless. 149 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,100 You learn to be more methodical in his acting. 150 00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:05,960 You learn to plan better because you know you have to succeed. 151 00:09:07,199 --> 00:09:08,819 Become relentless as a man. 152 00:09:08,939 --> 00:09:13,770 Follow your path with singular devotion and it will make you a better man. 153 00:09:16,185 --> 00:09:17,325 The next one on the list. 154 00:09:19,515 --> 00:09:22,575 Ah, one of my favorites is The Punisher. 155 00:09:24,285 --> 00:09:28,995 Like every great anti-hero, Frank Castle is a physical beast. 156 00:09:29,055 --> 00:09:31,185 Even as he gets older in the comic books. 157 00:09:31,935 --> 00:09:38,775 His dedication to his physicality in his own fitness is insane. 158 00:09:40,725 --> 00:09:42,255 Or is it really insane? 159 00:09:42,885 --> 00:09:43,965 Mark Bell said it best. 160 00:09:44,055 --> 00:09:46,425 Strength is never a weakness, and weakness is never a strength. 161 00:09:46,935 --> 00:09:49,605 A man should be devoted to the perfection of his physical, 162 00:09:49,605 --> 00:09:50,985 mental, and emotional health. 163 00:09:51,555 --> 00:09:57,805 Men should be physically fit and they should be physically fit and dangerous. 164 00:09:57,805 --> 00:10:05,895 They should know how to use that physical presence, whether that's in self-defense 165 00:10:05,895 --> 00:10:07,335 or however you wanna say that. 166 00:10:07,665 --> 00:10:12,585 Men need to be physically healthy, physically fit and dangerous. 167 00:10:13,635 --> 00:10:18,345 And Frank Castle and most anti-heroes are just the epitome of that. 168 00:10:19,275 --> 00:10:22,635 You know, whether you want to admit or not, you've all either looked at 169 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,965 the movie or the comic book and been like, looked at yourself and been 170 00:10:25,970 --> 00:10:29,445 like, um, trying to suck in the gut. 171 00:10:29,475 --> 00:10:30,525 I know I've done it too. 172 00:10:32,505 --> 00:10:36,705 It's a calling gentlemen for us to be physically fit and dangerous. 173 00:10:37,725 --> 00:10:43,455 The next one on the list is one of my favorite characters of all time, 174 00:10:46,515 --> 00:10:49,785 but he is not defined by his past, and that's what we need to get out of this. 175 00:10:50,385 --> 00:10:55,005 Al Simmons alter ego Spawn was literally forged in the battles 176 00:10:55,005 --> 00:10:56,115 of hell by the devil himself. 177 00:10:57,175 --> 00:11:01,605 He was twisted, manipulated, and misled to lead the armies of hell, 178 00:11:02,355 --> 00:11:03,975 yet when he got away from the devil. 179 00:11:04,575 --> 00:11:07,365 And started to see the world was not what he had been told. 180 00:11:07,785 --> 00:11:10,455 He decided he would not be a public puppet. 181 00:11:11,715 --> 00:11:13,005 You think your story's hard. 182 00:11:13,935 --> 00:11:18,255 Were you forged by the devil tormented for years to become what you are now? 183 00:11:19,215 --> 00:11:22,845 I know some of you have some back stories that are pretty close or feel 184 00:11:22,845 --> 00:11:23,765 like they're pretty close for sure. 185 00:11:25,035 --> 00:11:29,235 But the big takeaway from the Spawn storyline is your past 186 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,825 doesn't have to define who you choose to be, no matter what. 187 00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:37,830 You choose and you are responsible for who you choose to be. 188 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:38,940 Now. 189 00:11:39,660 --> 00:11:45,450 And as men, we cannot be defined by our past, but who we cho 190 00:11:45,690 --> 00:11:47,940 choose to forge ahead and become. 191 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,500 Now let's get off the comics for a second. 192 00:11:53,310 --> 00:11:54,630 The leader from the hit show. 193 00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:58,650 Peaky Blinders is a fascinating study in stoicism. 194 00:11:59,490 --> 00:12:02,400 Thomas Shelby has ice in his veins or so with seam. 195 00:12:03,915 --> 00:12:05,535 It's not really that he doesn't have a heart. 196 00:12:05,535 --> 00:12:06,735 In fact, he's got a big heart. 197 00:12:07,185 --> 00:12:11,265 Instead, what he has is the ability to think clearly and not let 198 00:12:11,265 --> 00:12:12,825 his emotions cloud as judgment. 199 00:12:14,025 --> 00:12:15,465 Sure, he loses it once in a while. 200 00:12:15,470 --> 00:12:16,635 It's part of the reason I like him. 201 00:12:17,055 --> 00:12:23,135 No one's perfect, but imagine if you are in control of your emotions and 202 00:12:23,385 --> 00:12:29,115 we're able to use logic and reason and intelligence 95% of the time because your 203 00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:31,785 emotions weren't getting the better of you and weren't running away from you. 204 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,930 How many men are in places like prison because they lost control 205 00:12:40,590 --> 00:12:44,400 as something we can learn from other anti-hero, from anti-heroes like 206 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:49,530 Thomas Shelby having s Soic control, or at least this associated with 207 00:12:49,535 --> 00:12:51,820 stoicism, is control of your emotions. 208 00:12:52,510 --> 00:12:56,850 Not letting your control emotions control you, but controlling your own emotions. 209 00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:03,255 The next one on my list is, Probably the first comic book I ever bought. 210 00:13:03,464 --> 00:13:07,155 One of my favorites, as far back as I can remember, largely due to the flaming 211 00:13:07,155 --> 00:13:13,214 skull and chopper, because I've always been a motorcycle guy, duped into being 212 00:13:13,214 --> 00:13:15,944 the devil's bounty hunter and then telling the devil to go back to hell. 213 00:13:16,725 --> 00:13:18,345 He has an interesting outlook on life. 214 00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:22,814 However, one thing Johnny can't abide is evil doers. 215 00:13:24,314 --> 00:13:29,055 The ghost rider has no, no wiggle room. 216 00:13:29,595 --> 00:13:31,605 For evil DEOs. 217 00:13:31,665 --> 00:13:35,745 In fact, the writer has a definitive sense of right and wrong and good and evil. 218 00:13:36,855 --> 00:13:40,095 Em Burke said it best when he said The only thing necessary for TR the triumphs 219 00:13:40,095 --> 00:13:42,405 of evil is for good men to do nothing. 220 00:13:45,345 --> 00:13:49,845 All men need to take away from these anti-heroes a definitive 221 00:13:49,845 --> 00:13:50,985 sense of right and wrong. 222 00:13:50,985 --> 00:13:53,505 And like I said, you'll see a lot of these traits overlap through 223 00:13:53,505 --> 00:13:57,735 a lot of these big anti-hero classics, and this is one of them. 224 00:13:59,115 --> 00:14:04,245 Frank Castle, you know, Batman, it doesn't matter. 225 00:14:04,245 --> 00:14:11,385 All these guys definitive sense of right and wrong and the the 226 00:14:12,375 --> 00:14:14,075 tenacity to do something about it. 227 00:14:16,815 --> 00:14:22,515 Now the next character on our list gotta admit it, is new on this list for me. 228 00:14:23,565 --> 00:14:28,005 I will confess that black Adam is a new ad addition. 229 00:14:28,605 --> 00:14:32,625 To this list for me, I've followed a lot of these other characters 230 00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:35,565 for years, but my only point of reference is the movie with the Rock. 231 00:14:36,015 --> 00:14:40,005 So if I don't get it right, are the rock totally misrepresented in that movie? 232 00:14:40,005 --> 00:14:41,145 Cuz movies do that. 233 00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:43,035 Don't hang me out on this one. 234 00:14:43,635 --> 00:14:45,705 But I loved one thing about the character. 235 00:14:46,305 --> 00:14:48,285 He is the decisive man of action. 236 00:14:49,515 --> 00:14:53,385 The debate over letting badman stand trial and being punished by a faulty system 237 00:14:53,895 --> 00:14:55,735 between him and Hawkman was hilarious. 238 00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:59,324 Because Black Adams just like, he's bad. 239 00:14:59,324 --> 00:14:59,714 We kill him. 240 00:14:59,719 --> 00:15:01,155 It's easy, right? 241 00:15:01,515 --> 00:15:02,694 I love the diss. 242 00:15:03,464 --> 00:15:04,155 They were bad. 243 00:15:04,334 --> 00:15:05,084 They got punished. 244 00:15:05,474 --> 00:15:06,734 Something needed to happen. 245 00:15:07,275 --> 00:15:10,185 He was off doing something while everybody else wanted to plan 246 00:15:10,185 --> 00:15:11,084 and was still talking about it. 247 00:15:11,084 --> 00:15:12,494 Cuz he can move it really fast. 248 00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:17,084 And I mean, bonus being pretty much indestructible gives you the ability 249 00:15:17,084 --> 00:15:19,275 to be decisive and a little bit rash. 250 00:15:19,905 --> 00:15:23,984 But there is a difference between being decisive and being rash. 251 00:15:24,675 --> 00:15:29,115 While we can't be judge, jury, and executioner, we do need to be decisive 252 00:15:29,115 --> 00:15:34,665 as men, decisive and action based. 253 00:15:35,265 --> 00:15:37,214 We can't think about it all the time. 254 00:15:37,219 --> 00:15:38,505 We can't think about it forever. 255 00:15:38,895 --> 00:15:41,444 We need to be decisive, and then we need to take action. 256 00:15:42,285 --> 00:15:45,645 Know where you stand, what you stand for, and go from there. 257 00:15:46,964 --> 00:15:51,104 And on that thought line that calls out our old friend Dexter. 258 00:15:52,515 --> 00:15:56,265 I've long held the belief that the only thing that separated men like Wier and 259 00:15:56,265 --> 00:16:01,125 Bill Cody from the men they went after as law men was the badge they were wearing. 260 00:16:01,125 --> 00:16:04,064 Cuz honestly, they were just as bad as most of the outlaws they chased. 261 00:16:04,594 --> 00:16:07,185 It all came down to what side of the law they were on. 262 00:16:08,775 --> 00:16:09,435 Dexter. 263 00:16:09,584 --> 00:16:12,525 If you're not familiar with the TV series, I is a monster. 264 00:16:12,525 --> 00:16:13,515 The guy's a serial killer. 265 00:16:14,085 --> 00:16:21,435 And he's terrifying, but he has a bit of a code, his clear lines that he believes 266 00:16:21,435 --> 00:16:25,335 and follows that guides him presides over his impulses and proclivities. 267 00:16:25,935 --> 00:16:28,785 He only hunts other monsters. 268 00:16:29,325 --> 00:16:29,775 That's right. 269 00:16:30,885 --> 00:16:32,175 It's not a serial killer with a heart. 270 00:16:32,180 --> 00:16:37,935 He's just a serial killer with code and having the definitive code is something 271 00:16:37,935 --> 00:16:40,425 that all of us as men need to have. 272 00:16:41,295 --> 00:16:44,655 Now, hopefully you're not screwed up like Dexter, but having 273 00:16:44,655 --> 00:16:46,125 a code to live by is a must. 274 00:16:46,875 --> 00:16:51,074 A set of rules, beliefs, and ideals that govern your actions will give 275 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,725 you a much more solid foundation in life and help you have direction. 276 00:16:56,235 --> 00:17:02,265 When you feel a little bit lost now, what list will be complete at all 277 00:17:02,564 --> 00:17:05,835 without the Batman the anti-hero? 278 00:17:05,835 --> 00:17:07,244 That has always been my favorite. 279 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,849 Long before I bought comic books, ghost Rider was my first comic 280 00:17:11,849 --> 00:17:13,860 book, but I loved the Batman. 281 00:17:13,890 --> 00:17:15,420 I grew up loving Batman. 282 00:17:16,890 --> 00:17:19,860 The bat used his brain, I think more than Tony Stark. 283 00:17:21,150 --> 00:17:25,650 He was highly, highly observant and didn't jump to conclusions, 284 00:17:25,655 --> 00:17:27,390 but followed the evidence. 285 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,280 It was actually kind of uncanny. 286 00:17:31,169 --> 00:17:35,909 Because he was just, he, he was so much smarter than everybody, and 287 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:39,750 he was so much more disciplined than everybody learning to read the 288 00:17:39,750 --> 00:17:41,580 signs and to notice little things. 289 00:17:41,669 --> 00:17:43,379 It's his own superpower really. 290 00:17:43,385 --> 00:17:48,899 It, it honestly is Batman read the clues. 291 00:17:48,899 --> 00:17:50,870 He looked at the signs and he processed the connections. 292 00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:52,860 And what it was telling him. 293 00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:57,030 Your brain is your most powerful weapon and tool, so work on becoming 294 00:17:57,030 --> 00:18:01,080 more observant and aware, and your brain will take you to a next level. 295 00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:05,340 You may not be the world's greatest detective, but you will be five steps 296 00:18:05,340 --> 00:18:09,300 ahead of most people if you learn to observe and process information 297 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,780 so you can make clear decisions. 298 00:18:14,325 --> 00:18:16,245 Now guys, I had a lot of fun doing this episode. 299 00:18:16,275 --> 00:18:20,265 Uh, I, I, I always have been an anti-hero nerd. 300 00:18:20,325 --> 00:18:22,555 Those were my, my big heroes in the comic books. 301 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,560 And so I hope you take

we want to have a mission. 307 00:18:39,965 --> 00:18:41,310 We want to be men of action. 308 00:18:41,580 --> 00:18:43,200 We want to step in and fight evil. 309 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,640 We want
