the goal of the show is to make a more human hero myth. & telling people they can be heroes will never last if you also tell them that heroism is incompatible with being a human in the world. so penance/forgiveness is the way to have your imperfection cake & eat your morality too

story about a really incompetent shopkeeper who keeps getting investigated for money laundering because the police assume the only reason a place could be that bad is if it's a front

PR/media understands this, probably. the only way to make people ignore something you want them to ignore is to make it boring, irrelevant. and vice versa.

it is, in part, why people pursue pointless hobbies or cling to old grievances. or why boredom and anhedonia feel so bad.
