Oh boy, "The person to defeat the evil will literally be the only person to stand up against evil." And by the way, literally no one else should stand up for themselves against the evil while everything you love and care about is being destroyed, because heaven forbid you prove the prophecy wrong just to save the lives of your loved ones.
Someone needs to write a story based on the first idea, while the second idea is a better way to explain why I don't like prophecies than I ever could. It frequently feels like everyone just expects one person to save the world while they stay at home, playing poker, I guess, instead of trying to make a change for themselves.
