Discussing Gentleness:

Baymax is a big robot with a lot more strength than the students he is with.  When he is given his superhero suit by Hiro, he becomes even more powerful – demonstrating superhuman strength and abilities. Yet he continues to display gentleness with everyone around him. So much so that Hiro, who is struggling with grief and vengeance, reprograms Baymax to remove his gentleness.  In the fullness of the story we see that anger doesn’t solve the problems and that gentleness and love are much more powerful and healing than revenge.
