Snowden has done so much self-aggrandizing of his actual role working for the government when it's clear that what he was mostly motivated by was ego. I think even if you think that he shone light on bad things, the hero narrative kind of falls out of wack when it ends up being more like "I was okay with all of this until people didn't treat me like the wunderkind I thought I was and so I found another way to get infamy".
Was it his biopic that had the whole "okay he's releasing info but we need everyone to know he's a smurt guy so have him solving a Rubik's Cube with one hand" or some shit?
