Most gamers and people who watch action films are young people who don't have the freedom to take what they deem heroic action and thus it becomes problematic to watch the main characters of those mediums (especially some shounen anime) complain when, in reality, it feels like this is all that many people are ever able to do. Instead, people rely on these mediums to give a glimpse of what it feels like to be in control and pretty much every young person believes it makes life easier and the main character should be happy or at least stop moaning about it.
