There are some things we expect from a certain kind of story. Nobody goes to a sports movie to see the heroes lose the big game; nobody goes to a superhero movie to see the superhero die; nobody watches a western to see John Wayne be the bad guy. But some great sports movies do have the hero lose (Rocky); some superheroes do die (Super); John Wayne can be a bad guy (or rather a complex guy, in The Searchers - though I'd say planning to kill your niece because she was hanging around with people you don't like is not exactly a heroic choice, right?).
