The universes where each and every would-be hero is terminally stomped for merely thinking about going on a quest are uncountable.

There are countable subsets where something other than that happens, and one of those subsets is where the universe rules provide enough wiggle room for a hero to win.

It is all but certain we live in one of the former. Stories about the latter give us hope that we might not be.

Compare: Why do the Power Rangers not simply create the Megazord in the first place and stomp the bad guy before its inevitable enlargement?
