“Acting as a saviour, the monster hero also has, to some extent, humanity. The human within the monster – his compas- sion, sympathy, and caring – encourages him to act on behalf of others rather than for himself, propelling him to hero status.”
- McCrystal, Hyde the Hero
Many of today;’s superheroes are based off of this idea that people have a side of them that is more animalistic. Stronger, faster, better. These are all taking the promising qualities of Hyde, such as his strength and aggression, and adding the ability to have morals and use these talents for good. These movies take people’s dark sides and use them to defeat a greater evil.
