Summary

Before you plan on a Netflix binge, let me explain. Every superhero movie revolves around a similar set of core principles. Every hero has a plan, something interrupts that plan, and the hero overcomes all obstacles to win in the end. We don’t find satisfaction in watching the hero slay a dragon, or knock out an opponent in the ring. Those are actually metaphors for the protagonist’s journey to overcome great obstacles. Any villain, it doesn't matter if it’s an alien, robot, sea creature, or demigod with a chip on his shoulder, is merely an obstacle in the way of the hero achieving success. Where in your life can you relate? Where are you stumbling, running into barriers, or being knocked down. Take a note from Tony Stark, Dr. Steven Strange, Dr. Bruce Banner, or even Thor. Learn from your mistakes and shortcomings, learn how to overcome obstacles, and achieve greatness.
