    Who said anything about heroes? Villains sometimes want to stop other villains, too. In fact, probably often.

      To be fair thor is undoubtedly firmly in the hero category, and they are depicted as him in this meme Thor Ragnarok.

      top slider is hella (villain) middle is Thor (hero), bottom is Surtur (villain)

        I would argue that the meme has long lost that particular aspect of itself and the character alignment is ignored. In this instance, clearly indicated by Surtr being EU, while the context heavily implies that EU is the “hero”.

          Yeah it’s definitely up to interpretation, it doesnt read as the middle slide being bad/villainous.

          Bad meme format I guess

        You took my comment too seriously, it was just a joke.
        But you also singled out Intel. Corporations aren’t heroes in general and AMD is also there. And EU is depicted as the villain, although it’s implied it’s the hero in the context of the meme.
