This was a classic pattern in the last century. But, this is currently changing with the exploration of female scenarios, for example, the villains are now chads, as foids always like the “villain”, and if he is handsome, it will be EVEN BETTER.
Although the hero is also handsome, this is a scenario that causes many handsome men to become fixated on the foid, a harem.
Generally the uglies are treated as demented, or idiots in the roles in these films, the uglies are always the beggar, or the cuckold friend who accepts everything, but never really a potential villain. Moral: Betas are not seen as powers, and in these films they try to transform several handsome men in the foid's harem, from villain to hero, except the beta.
