Although I see what you mean,I feel like if the hero label is always contingent on remorse and struggling with making a wrong choice or a choice that doesn't sit well with one's conscience after the fact or even before one decides,to me it seems disingenuous. I see no problem having a tough situation that requires navigating through making difficult choices, but for me a hero has to make the right call or at least accept they are making the right call in that moment. Than simply hiding behind 'I'm somber over a few beers for a week now coz I screwed up making a poor choice x-days ago'. I feel the writers are pulling a fast one on readers always obfuscating bad choices with dramatic aftermath.
