Maybe the people saying these things really believe what they&#;re saying, or maybe it&#;s just something they say to try and get the rest of us to sign on to their limited, dog-eat-dog view of the world.

You get everyone in one generalized location and throw a party of some sort. Maybe the heroes have some laughter and drinks to celebrate a victory, or the villains get to glower at each other. Then somehow everyone is called together for a group picture that gives away the connections between every member at a glance, from a glowering glance to a fond smile, and the professional photographer says "Cheese!" They even stick around long enough that everyone there can get a copy for their nemesis, children or investigators to find&#;years or decades later!
