The Power of Friendship

The villains mocks the idea of relying on others, insisting that friends make you weak and only fear brings servitude.

Then he discovers to his extreme shock and dismay that the hero's friends really do stand up for him, and this really does enable the hero to kick the crap out of the bad guy. Having friends makes you strong, being alone makes you weak. Even What You Are in the Dark can depend on your memory of your friends.

The Power of Friendship happens in every aspect of a story. For example, people are also reminded that they will always be friends, no matter what happens.

Quotes
​"I used to say I live my life a quarter mile at a time. And I think that's why we were brothers...because you did, too. No matter how far away you are, whether it's a quarter mile away, or halfway across the world, you'll always be with me. You'll always be my brother."

- Dom Toretto reminding Brian O'Connor that they will always be brothers.
