    I find the alternative much more dull - that the super special hero can oppose everybody who gets in their way without any real consequences. You only need to look at the real world to see that things are rarely so simple as targeting a particular leader or country and eliminating a threat. Often what replaces them is much worse and plunges that country - and others, by consequence - into chaos.

    If the villains were better, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But this Organization XIII knockoff are basically Power Ranger villains when it comes to their writing. And the knowledge that we're stuck with these guys forever is the painful part. The world is a little more complicated then cultists in masks trying to bring chaos to the world.
