Late to the party, but I wanted to just tell you I really appreciate your comments in this thread. Holy hell, some people are really obtuse.

I think that a good RL example might actually be doctors. Let's say a person comes in with something potentially fatal, and the doctor does a procedure that results in the patient's death. That's why you investigate whether or not they did their best and made a reasonably sound decision in that instance - and if they did, they're not liable for malpractice.
The problem is, that when malpractice suits go crazy, doctors are afraid to do anything. Because if they don't get involved they won't get sued. This is actually a problem in the US. I have doctors in my family, and one time a lawyer who basically made his living doing malpractice suits came in with a heart attack, and the entire ER just kind of stood around helplessly because nobody wanted to take the risk of treating him. (in the end they got the most senior doctor).

My point is that I agree 100%. If you go after the "good guys" too much and hound them, one day they're going to decide it's not worth fighting because they can't take the backlash. Perspective is a really important thing to have. People aren't perfect, and it's a delicate balance between negligence and bad luck, but superhero stories tend to make things more clear-cut than in our world. If you've got aliens invading all over the place, I think it's pretty clear who the enemy is.

haha wow thanks :)

And...that's a really interesting parallel. I like the way you sum it up and totally agree.
