The greyscale is something to be avoided, and everyone has just black and white aspects in them, creating the character "grey" as a whole. If we take little aspects, we'll only see something black or something white. In my Finnish perspective Hollywood just likes to make the heroes somewhat min-max for the watcher.

WHY CAN THEY NOT JUST DO MAXIMUM CARNAGE ON THE BIG SCREEN????!! I'll never understand why Hollywood doesn't just take awesome stories right out of the comics and turn them into movies. WHY?!
