Quite the contrary. Visiting all the places and solving all their problems would imply the main hero is the center of the world, taking care of everything on their own and leaving nothing to anyone else. THAT is kid's trash.

The mature reality, meanwhile, is that even your greatest accomplishments tend to be pretty small in the long run. There are other heroes, and other shit going on in the world. Some of them may not even give a shit about you.
