Hollywood often depicts heroes in Military movies with invincible powers taking on missions and finishing tasks that are not possible to do single-handedly. These movies often undermine the idea that military service is not individualistic but about teamwork. These movies overemphasize individualism, which downplays the crucial points of the military: coordination and teamwork, according to viewers. American Sniper can be one of the examples of this where American soldiers have been portrayed in a heroic light and oversimplified the complexities of warfare, as noted by many viewers.
