Hes not a superhero, or a destructive, wayward hero who everyone hates (well, maybe hes that a little bit), but the reason Hancock is so appropriate for Owen is that it starts off really promisingly but then after a great first act it gradually gets worse towards a frankly terrible ending. Like Michael Owens career, Hancock is marked by bad decisions and missed potential, and the over-riding feeling in the end is that if everyone had just tried a little bit harder, the end result might have been a hell of a lot more entertaining at the end. If theres a better analogy for Owens stagnation after he joined Newcastle, Id challenge you to find it.
